TRIBUTE TO NAKED: REVIEW: Too Faced Naked Eye Kit

 Hey again lovelies! Once again, it's time for a tribute to NAKED! haha (non-makeup lovin' readers probably think this is wayyyyyy wrong ;D) I posted a review on the Too Faced Natural Eye Kit and for those who were thinking 'oh no...it's too warm again :( too pink/peach and warm cocoa brownish for my liking!' Dont worry, cause here is the Natural Eye Kit's "COOLER" sister (forgive the pun), the NAKED EYE KIT *cool majestic music* haha ok less drama, more review haha


 Let's talk about packaging first. The kit is in the traditional box shape that Too Faced has for its kits. However, unlike the previous btach of kits, the kits are now much slimmer due to the removal of the extra drawer that holds the spongetip/brush that the kit used to come with. Im never disppointed with Too Faced packaging as they always seem to be able to inject their beautiful somewhat whimsical theme. I just LOVE it. Feminine yet enchanting. Kudos to Too Faced for their packaging themes. *salute* The eyeshdadows are once again categorised into Day, Classic and Fashion and as always, their kits come with three easy-to-follow cards for those who dont know what to do with all these beautiful eyeshadows.

Now for the shade breakdown:

In the Buff: Matte slight off white with a subtle sheen
Pillow Talk: light cool taupe with sliver microglitter
Like A Virgin: Matte cool taupe brown

Birthday Suit (my FAVE): Slight shimmery tan
Satin Sheets (lovely!): Shimmery pink with white-gold frost
Unmentionables: Metallic dark grey silver

Pink Cheeks: Light pink with silver microglitter
Lap Dance: Shimmery Dark taupe with a slight purple lean
Stiletto: Matte Black

The shadows are just divine. Buttery smooth and great pigmentation. Plus, their names never fail to amuse me heehee! I am just head over heels in love with the shade birthday suit. On my NC20 skin, it provides a nice sheen on my lids with a subtle hint of colour. Satin Sheets is a fairly unique colour, with that candy pink and golden frost. When swatched, the gold sheen is quite obvioius. Stiletto is a great black! great for those who love a BLACK BLACK or love lining thier eyes with black eyeshadow. Overall, I am so impressed by this palette, along with tthe natural eye kit. They provide a mix of matte and shimmery shadows and can cater to warm or cool lovers according to their preferences. Is there any downside for this palette? Hmm...I would say for me, no. But I do know that some might not like the boxy packaging in terms of travelling with them. However, now being slimmer than they used to be, I wouldn't see travelling with it as a problem. Any fan of Too-Faced should have at least one of the two kits (Naked/Natural eye kit) in their beauty arsenal! ;)

Verdict: Do i like it?: A DEFINITE YES. NOT LIKE, IT'S LOVE
Would I repurchase? : YES!
Different from the UD  NAKED 1/2 to buy?: YES!
Grade: A

Anyone else head over heels with this palette? cuz I know I am! ;)
