Naked Palette
What it is:
A universally flattering palette that features 12 neutral eyeshadows (0.05 oz each) that work for everyone, with a variety of textures, including glitter, shimmer, and matte. The mirrored case also includes a new professional-quality, cruelty-free Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush, and a travel-size original formula Eyeshadow Primer Potion.
My Thoughts:
I almost bought into the hype of this popular set, but given that it contains toxic ingredients like aluminum powder (which gets a 9 on the hazard scale), methylparaben, propylparaben and phenoxyethanol, I decided not to waste my $53.00. I have since found an excellent alternative to this product is the PlantLove Green Glamour palette from Cargo. Not only is it healthier for you, it contains many similar shades and more (18 total at 0.035 oz. each) and only costs $29.00 at Sears!

The following is a brand review of Urban Decay from the Beautypedia website:
Strengths: Workable options in almost every category; excellent powder blush; bonanza for anyone who wants lots of shiny eyeshadows; several super-smooth lip glosses; makeup brushes.
Weaknesses: Average to poor eye and brow pencils; limited foundation shades and disappointing lash primer/waterproofing product.
