G's blog over at
Nouveau Cheap really feeds my makeup addiction. I'll be the first to admit it. A few posts ago she wrote about a sighting for new Wet n Wild 8-pan palettes so I decided that I wouldn't go on a crazy hunt like I did with the last LE set and instead just be patient. I went to Meijer today to go grocery shopping and as I walked by the cosmetics I couldn't help but wander around and found an untouched display of the new palettes! I put myself on a no-buy because as I am trying desperately to pull my blog sale together and have too much makeup as it is but I just couldn't pass this up. Eh - I can try starting again tomorrow.
Anyway, after seeing pictures of the palette online, I wondered if it was going to be another 'dupe' of Urban Decay's Naked. After picking it up, I can say that it's pretty darn close! The shades aren't EXACT dupes but they're extremely close and you'll find that you can create all the same looks you've been wanting to without having to pay a ton. I would say that some of these shadows aren't as smooth or pigmented as the original 8-pans but it's still an incredible deal at $5 for 8 shadows.
All swatches were done over the Lorac Behind the Scenes eye primer.
