Worth it or nah?: Urban Decay's original naked palette

So at this point, almost everyone has Urban Decay's flagship Naked eyeshadow palette, right? Well if you are still trying to decide whether or not to jump onto this bandwagon, then let me help you out there.

The original Naked palette comes with 12 neutral colours, suitable for all eye colour and types. These colours are Virgin (cool pale beige shimmer), Sin (champagne shimmer), Naked (nude matte), Sidecar (beige shimmer w/silver micro-glitter), Buck (fawn brown matte), Half Baked (golden bronze shimmer), Smog (deep coppery bronze shimmer), Darkhorse (deep mocha shimmer), Toasted (antique copper penny shimmer), Hustle (plum-brown satin), Creep (onyx shimmer w/gold sparkle) and Gunmetal (dark metallic gray shimmer w/silver micro-glitter), as described from the official Urban Decay (UD) website itself.

Now what does all of this mean? It's really just a brown-bronze palette starting from a very light shade to a very dark shade. There is a double sided brush that comes with it, although I only got a one sided brush because I got mine years ago. There might also be some primer samples included if you're lucky.

Opinion: Despite the relative boring-ness of the colours, I actually really love this palette! I have all of the naked palettes (of which I will review on a later date) and this original one has to be my favourite. They're easy colours to wear and you can't really go wrong here because you can just keep blending and layering until you're satisfied because all of the shades are similar to the last. 9/10

Value: 47 euros in Debenhams (where I usually get my Urban Decay loot). It's definitely not cheap but it's worth it in my opinion. If you have money for just one of the Naked palettes, go for the original. There's a reason that this velvety palette of goodness launched an entire range for UD. 7/10

Quality: Good quality as expected of a high calibre brand such as UD. The colour pay off is good, just make sure to give it a few tries when you start to really get to the pigment underneath that first layer after opening.

Unfortunately, I have had it slip and slide a little on my sometimes oily lids, so a primer is a plus in this case. I mostly just skip the primer and hope for an oil free day...

8/10

So to answer that title question, this palette is worth it!
