Okay, so I'm gonna try and keep this as short as I possibly can!
Advantages:
1. The design of the palette is very chic, elegant and slim-lined making it much more travel friendly than most of the other Urban Decay palettes (such as the Book of shadows palettes etc.) The simple design fits the name of the palette perfectly!
2. The range of the colours of eye shadows are great. Urban Decay has done a very good job in choosing the eye shadow shades - and again fit the name well. Urban Decay wants you to 'go naked not neutral ... clothing is optional' as it states on the back of the packaging. Personally, I think it's a great aim for the palette and support it completely - with clothes on! =P
3. The only other palette I own by Urban Decay is the sustainable shadow box, and while I love the colours in that palette, I find that I don't use it often because the quality of the eye shadows aren't that great. I find that the glittery ones just have chunks of silver glitter in it, which makes it horrendous to apply. And the matt eye shadows are just really hard. The eye shadows in the Naked palette however, are amazingly better than those of the Sustainable Shadow Box. Every single eye shadow in the Naked palette is silky to touch and super pigmented, you don't really need to really scrub your brush into the product to get a good amount onto your eyelid.
4. You get 1.3g of each of the 12 eye shadows. That's £2.25 AN EYESHADOW!!!! And that to, a FULL eyeshadow! Considering each FULL Urban Decay Eyeshadow is £12.00 EACH, you're getting 12 of them for the price of 2 (and a quarter) with this palette... so when it comes to value for money, it's friggin' awesome!!
5. Last but not least, the whole package pretty much comes with EVERYTHING you need to create an eyelook. You have primer (it comes with a mini Urban Decay Primer Potion), your choice of 12 eyeshadows and your choice of eyeliner. Chuck in a mascara and you're ready to rock! =D
The only
disadvantage to this palette is the
material of the casing. It's faux velvet and will catch dirt (dust and fluff) really easily. So I'd recommend storing this palette in a drawer or somewhere, where it won't catch dust easily. And when you do want to spruce it up, just take a piece of cellotape or lint roll and run it over - that should the trick!
10 out of 10 for everything about this palette - it's a great palette and I would highly recommnend it to ANYONE. Especially if you love your neutrals!

Anyway - this is a look using my all time favourite UD Eye shadows - YDK. I remember that this was the first single eyeshadow I bought from a really high end brand and I remember saving my money to go and buy it!! haha... that was like 3 years ago and it's still lasting me! I do honestly absolutely love this colour - it's so great for a look like this - one that you can wear during the day/evening, and this colour goes with absolutely any other colour - so if in doubt, always where UD YDK if you can't create a look to match your clothes hehe
