I managed to get my hands on one of
these palettes quite early on! On 12th June, Urban Decay released a
limited amount of these palettes for sale via their website. They actually
launched in the UK on 27th July and are widely available. I’m not
sure how many were released early, but I know I was lucky enough to get one,
just a shame it has taken me this long to finally review it!
This is the fifth naked palette Urban
Decay has released. They also have a Naked Basics range, but I consider those
palettes to be separate from the original line up. I already own Naked 1, 2 and
3. I did have 4 (Smoky), but I gave this to my sister as the shades didn’t
really appeal to me, the palette devil in me just had to buy it anyway! The
Naked Heat palette is actually the one that appeals to me the most out of the
five. I was originally going to wait until the official launch date to buy it
because there were some Heat eyeliners and lipsticks that were released too and
these were not available for pre-sale. I now have the Alkaline and Torch eyeliner
pencils and Fuel lipstick.
The palette comes inside a card carton,
which is supposed to represent a matchbox as you have to slide it open to get
the palette out and it also reveals a graphic of matchsticks once you remove
the palette from the box. The palette packaging is a bit like the Naked 4; it is
made of light sleek plastic and has a magnetic opening/closing. Urban Decay says, “The artwork on the case seems as if you’re looking through
vertical blinds into a hot, steamy sunset”. It has a magnetic
closing and you just lift up the lid to reveal a mirror on one side and the
twelve eyeshadow pans on the other.
You get twelve 1.3g of amber-hued
neutral warm toned shades of eyeshadows in different finishes that will flatter
all skin tones.
OUNCE - ivory shimmer
CHASER - light nude matte
SAUCED - soft terra-cotta matte
LOW BLOW - brown matte
LUMBRE - copper shimmer with gold pearl shift
HE DEVIL - burnt red matte
DIRTY TALK - metallic burnt red
SCORCHED - metallic deep red with gold micro-shimmer
CAYENNE - deep terra-cotta matte
EN FUEGO - burgundy matte
ASHES - deep reddish-brown matte
EMBER - deep metallic copper-burgundy
The palette also comes with a double
ended eyeshadow brush.
The shades should be velvety in
texture, rich in colour, blend easily and be very long wearing due to the
pigment infusion system Urban Decay use for their eyeshadows.
The packaging is absolutely stunning! All
of the shades are visually stunning and complement each other very well. The
eyeshadows feel like velvet and are extremely rich in pigment. I also find them
long wearing and easy to blend, just like my other UD palettes. I think this is
my favourite Naked palette overall! I just can’t stop looking at it and the
shimmer shades are my favourite. I love the shades Lumbre, Dirty Talk and Scorched.
Although it is a summer release and the packaging reflects that, the shades a
very fall inspired and Autumn happens to be my favourite season. I’m not sure
what else to say about this palette, apart from I am in love with it and I can’t
recommend it enough! I also recommend trying out the gorgeous eyeliners and
striking lipsticks.
