Budget Buy | W7 In The Buff Palette



Hello Lovelies!

Over the past couple of weeks I have been thinking of starting a new little series on my blog all about the best Budget Buys I have found. Now we all know I love my bargains and love spending my time wandering around the "drugstores" looking for dupes of more expensive products or just something that is amazing at what it does and that doesn't break the bank! 

So today I have a little dupe for you. Now one of my friends tagged me in a picture of this the other day on Facebook and told me I needed to get it, now who am I to say no I don't and within 24hrs I had it in my possession. Now you all know by looking at this palette what a striking resemblance it has to another palette that we all know and love, and you would be correct in saying it is pretty much identical to the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette! I didn't actually realize how alike they were until I brought it home and put them side by side. Literally no difference in the shades at all! So you can basically get a carbon copy of the Naked 2 palette for...wait for it...€5! €5 for 12 gorgeous shades of eyeshadow!

The shadows are amazingly pigmented for the price but compared to the Naked 2 palette the quality of the shadows are definitely not as good, they are slightly more powder-y so there can be abit more fallout so just be aware of that if you are planning a dramatic eye look that you might have a bit of a mess under your eyes to clean up after you finish blending everything! I never apply eyeshadow without a primer so I noticed no difference in the length of time that they lasted on me. I use the Urban Decay Primer Potion (love!) which really makes the difference.

I would definitely recommend you give this a go if you are thinking about getting the Naked 2 palette, it's the perfect way of seeing whether or not the shades suit you and if you will get the use out of the actual Naked 2. If you don't you won't have just spent over €40 on something you won't use! Plus you really can't go wrong for €5!

So that is my budget bargain at the moment! Let me know what you think of these sorts of posts, and if you have any products that you think is an absolute bargain that I should try!
