Urban Decay Naked Reloaded | Review

| Urban Decay Naked Reloaded |
This past weekend I got my hands on the new Urban Decay
Naked Reloaded palette during the Shoppers Drug Mart redemption event. I had
originally intended to pick up one of the Benefit Cheerleader Cheek palettes
but once I saw Reloaded in my cart it went (essentially for free). J
It’s hard not to compare the Reloaded to the original OG
Naked palette. But they are not the same palettes at all. The original Naked
was cool toned and more brassy while the Naked Reloaded is a warmer rosier neutral
palette.
What drew me in to Naked Reloaded was the pink copper
tones in the first half of the palette and the warm neutrals in the second half
of the palette.
I like the packaging. The bronzy brown orchids on the
pillow top packaging are quite beautiful and gives you an insight as to what’s
waiting on the inside. The palette is smaller and lighter with a magnetic
closure instead of the hard plastic casing of the previous Naked palettes. Inside,
the brush slot is gone (making the palette cheaper than if previous counterparts)
and the two outmost shadows pans on each side are larger that those in the
center.
Some of the shadows are a bit soft and crumbly. When I
was swatching Bribe, I almost took out a huge chunk of it. You do not need to
press down hard on these shadows. Then there was Dreamweaver. It was a soft
chunky shadow to touch and the glitters were gritty. It didn’t swatch the
greatest and had to be patted on with my finger while on the eye it was just a
dark brown frost? The pinky silver glitter parts just fell on my face or
disappeared. I am left to wonder what the purpose of Dreamweaver was? It is
pretty much a dud for me in this palette. Blur basically is the same colour as
my skin so it barely shows up. Boundaries is a satin with gold flecks. Since
Boundaries is a lighter warm brown, I would think it’s to be considered a
crease shade. I normally do not like satins in the crease but I did like how
Boundaries blended out. The gold flecks don’t really transfer over on the eye
in an obvious way.

| Naked Reloaded swatches |
Bribe – satin cream
Barely Baked – light gold shimmer
Angel Fire – pinky glittery champagne shimmer
Retro – matte pinky coral
Reputation –warm copper frost
Burn – bronze copper metallic
Endgame – deep brown satin matte
Dreamweaver – medium brown with silver glitter on top
Distilled – golden bronze
Bucked –warm matte medium brown
Boundaries – orangier warm medium brown with gold fleck
in it
Blur – light peachy matte
I think this the Naked Reloaded is a decent reinvention
of the everyday neutral palette. If you found the Naked Heat palette to orange
and the Naked Cherry too bold but still want warm shadows, then the Naked Reloaded is probably the neutral girls
answer in the Naked range.
