Review: In The Buff Eyeshadow Palette

Hi and welcome back to my blog! This is the first beauty-related post on my blog (my first post is an introduction to myself and my blog, check it out if you haven't already!) and it's a review of the War paint Cosmetics: In the Buff Eye Shadow Palette.

First of all -as you can probably see already- this is a dupe for the Naked Palettes by Urban Decay (in particularly the Naked 2). The colours in this palette and the Naked 2 are almost identical, they both have 12 shades however the names of these are different.

Colours from Left to Right:
Buff, Camel, Sand, Dust, Chocolate, Topaz, Earth, Storm, Silk, Wave, Thunder, Onyx.

The colours from the In the Buff Palette are very pigmented. There is a good variety of colours, the majority are shimmer shades but Buff, Chocolate and Onyx are matte shades. The colours are very long lasting and do not crease or move especially when used with a primer or base. I find they are very easy to blend and the colours go very nicely together but also with colours from other palettes.

The packaging is also good, but again very similar the Naked 2 and 3. It has a metal tin/casing but what's different is that the inside has a black rubber-type material that protects the eye shadows not plastic like most palettes.

However there was one minor disappointment with the brush. It has a very small brush at one end, which i tend to use to apply eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye, but then a sponge applicator on the other end which I don't use. However, it is not that much of a bad thing as I already have brushes for eye shadow application.

But the price is amazing for the quality of the product. It varies from store to store but I bought mine for only £7 from Next however it is displayed as £9.99 on the War paint cosmetics website (I have seen a few on amazon for cheaper since then). This price is great compared the price of the Naked palettes- £38.
