Urban Decay Naked 3 palette - Review and Swatches

I have to say that I have the sweetest baby sis ever! As you could read a few days ago she got me an INGLOT eyeshadow palette for christmas - which I love! And last week she gave me another gift - the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette!! I've been trying to get a hold of it since the launch date, but getting things in Sweden or to Sweden can be pretty hard sometimes. We have a mutual friend that was on vacation in the States recently and my sis, knowing how much I wanted the new UD palette, called her and asked if she could look for it. So a BIG thank you to Ramta as well for actually looking for it and bringing it here. 
Much love to the both of you! 

Alright let's get started with this little review (a bit late, I know)
     First of all this palette is totaly different from the 2 previous Naked palettes which contains beautiful neutrals, brown and gold shades. Naked 3 comes with 12 all new eyeshadows in marvelous rose toned neutrals. 

Starting with the packaging, The Naked 3 palette has the same metal tin snap case packaging as the Naked 2 which is much more durable then the cardboard packaging that the the original Naked has. It includes a dual ended brush, a weeks worth of use of 4 of UDs primer posions - Original, Sin, Eden and Anti Aging which is really nice. 

As said, the palette comes with 12 brand new shades of rose toned neutrals, from light to dark, which contains three matte shades and nine shimmery shades. And as always the UB shadows are highly pigmented and easy to blend. With this palette you can easily create both daytime and night time looks.

Urban Decay's description of the colours
Strange - “pale neutral pink matte-satin.”
Dust - “pale metallic pink shimmer with iridescent micro-glitter.”
Burnout - “light pinky-peach satin.”
Limit - “light dusty rose matte.”
Buzz - “metallic rose shimmer with silver micro-glitter.”'
Trick - “light metallic pinky-copper shimmer with tonal micro-sparkle.” 
Nooner - “medium pinky-brown matte.”
Liar - “medium metallic mauve shimmer.”
Factory - “pinky-brown satin.” 
Mugshot - “metallic taupe shimmer with slight pink shift.”
Darkside - “deep taupe-mauve satin.”
Blackheart - “smoky black matte with rosy red micro-sparkle.”

My overall thoughts of the UB Naked 3 palette is that I love it! It's different from the previous two (which I really love too!), the colours and quality of the eyeshadows are exceptional.

MIA

Hello ladies!

Before my blogpost earlier today I was MIA for a long time and I apologize for that. During that time I did do a few looks for you guys but I just didn't find the time to sit down and write posts.

Here are a few of those looks, the thing is that I didn't take any notes on what products I used so that's why I can't to individual posts with that info, but maybe these pictures could be some kind of inspiration anyways.
