NAKED started it all

This is yet another photo of the NAKED palette by Urban Decay. This sexy palette is what started my makeup obsession, and it will always have a special place in my heart. It's the very first thing I ever bought in Sephora back in November, 2012 (I know, I'm a late bloomer when it comes to makeup)! I'm sure there are 500,000,000 reviews of it already, but I do have to say that it's still my favorite eyeshadow palette to date (and I have plenty). 

All the shadows are of excellent quality, and the shades are nicely coordinated. I love the packaging too; although the gold lettering on the velveteen cover is fading, I thought it adds more character to it. My ultimate favorite shade in this palette is 'Half-Baked', but really, there's nothing not to love about this palette. It's such a perfectly done palette from Urban Decay which, I believe, is still the gold standard of neutral eyeshadow palettes.

Oh, and another shot before we end!

Since then, my collection has grown immensely. More pretties to come soon! 

Much love, Erika

(this palette currently retails for $52 at Sephora, Ulta, Macy's, and pretty much everywhere!)
