My naked palette (version Diana.0)

Urban Decay's Naked palette.

 Something I did not pick up and did not care to pick up.  

And then the photos started to show up...beautiful looks that were all neutral and gorgeous and...alright, enough of that!

I took a look in my stash and saw that I had what I like to call my naked palette! Colors that were similar to the Naked palette in palettes I already owned...

Cargo's Essentials palette

Cargo's Essential Palette - contains 4 smooth and blendable shadows, with matte and satin textures.  Awesome basic colors that are very soft and creamy.  This is definitely a daily go to palette! :)

Sugar's Day Job Round the Clock palette

Sugar's Round the Clock palette in Day Job.  8 shades ranging from satin, to matte to shimmer.  When I want to wear a more creative eye, but still stay within a neutral color palette, this is where I go.  The texture of these shadows in nice, actually.  The spectrum of colors runs nicely and have had no trouble in getting this to go with everything!  Unfortunately this palette has been discontinued.

Though it may not be THE naked palette, it did let me get more use out of palettes that I had stashed away to the wayside (bad MUAer I know).  I would hope that this would get you gals and guys going on shopping your stash and seeing what hidden gems you uncover.

Stash Discovery 6/13/2011 Sugar Round the Clock Palette

I know many of you have been in my shoes.  You lem a product, you buy it, you use it, and then, sometimes, it goes into storage.  This happens to a lot of my shadow palettes.  One such product I found the other day was Sugar's 'Round the Clock palette in DAY JOB.

Sugar Round the Clock day job palette

This palette is chock full of neutrals.  There was a sister palette that was for night and was full of brights, but I was unable to get one before they became discontinued.  The palette above has eight shadows, ranging in color and texture.  They have a bit of fallout, but I did find it to be overkill.  All of the colors were easy to blend.  The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th  were the shadows I found to be the most buttery and easy to pick up and use.  The packaging has no color names or numbers.

 

Swatched over Benetint's Stay don't Stray

 I never got into Urban Decay's Naked Palette, but I like to think that this is kinda like it :).  The shadows did not take much to build up.  Again, some where soft and created some fallout.  Others, I definitely had two to three layers of shadow to get some nice intensity.  This was a palette I purchased at Marshall's when you could still find good makeup there.  At least in my area, stores like Marshall's and TJ MAXXX haven't carried makeup in a while.  I believe I only paid about $5.00 USD for this palette.  It really is a bummer that this line was discontinued.  I know it may have seemed a bit juvenile, but they did have some wonderful products.
