I bought this palette on a whim when I saw it at Dischem because I heard it was a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. Although a few of the colours look similar to the Naked palette in the pan, the quality and colour payoff certainly isn't.
There are a few shades that I use now and then (I like the lightest one to highlight my brow bone), and some of the shimmery shades apply quite nicely as they seem to be a bit creamier than the matte shades (strange, I know). I definitely don't use all the colours in the pan, and I find the deeper ones to look a bit strange on my skin, since you really have to apply quite a lot of product to get a shade similar to what it looks like in the pan ( I haven't tried this with a white primer/base, perhaps this could help?)
Apart from being disappointed in the colour payoff of some shades, there are a few rosy pinks that I do like and use together with some higher-end, darker shadows.
Although I wouldn't tell someone to rush out and buy this, I feel that the low price sort of justifies the few nice shades that I can use.
Not impressed, but not greatly disappointed either.
