Urban Decay Naked 2
Second verse, same as the first.
No not really. But it made for a good intro.
Urban Decay Naked 2 has been available only for the past month or so(?) but was only released at Sephora on January 26th.
I went in store to look at it and decide did I really NEED a second one? I didn't pay for the first one myself it was a "gift" for Christmas from my gram. (Well she gave me money to pick something) I wasn't sure I wanted 2 since online I thought it looked too similar to 1. It is hard to put a finger on it but it is different. I want to say there are more peachy tones in some of these shades. There is one duplicate shade but the rest are different.
Side by side comparison.

Do you need both? Absolutely not. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't get it (hell I did!) They are different. It is all about what you can afford and how much you think you will use. I have been opening both every day and mixing and matching shades. I love Pistol from 2 mixed with Creep and Gunmetal from 1. I love Virgin and Sin from 1 mixed with Toasted in 2.
Naked 2 retails for $50 and comes with a double ended brush and a tiny tiny lip gloss. While a lot of people prefer 2's packaging... I do but for small issues. 2 comes in a sturdy tin with a huge mirror which is bonus major improvement. My complaint is that it won't lay flat and I actually have a hard time opening it. The one with it's magnet is so easy but admittedly terrible to travel with. I have to fight to open it every morning and I wait one morning I fling it across the room. Maybe I just got a bum tin. Sometimes that happens if it has the slightest dent it in somewhere. I wish they had used a real hinge instead of a plastic one. That is why it won't lay flat on my desk.
The only shades I don't like are the mattes. I don't have a lot of application skills so I am not good at wearing or applying mattes myself. Shimmer hides mistakes in my mind.
Something funny happened on Instagram. When I posted a photo of palette 1, a childhood friend of mine, I guess unless you know him it wouldn't shock you but picture that guy in your life the "I'm a man, men don't wear pink" type guy telling you this.... He commented "Naked 2 is out, you should totally get it" And he was totally right. I loved it.

As an aside my color theory professor from college would be SO DISAPPOINTED I couldn't point out the differences in color to you.
Sorry guys I totally forgot to post the pic with the looks!

I really like the way Naked 2 looks and would much prefer the packaging to the nasty nasty velvety stuff on the original, but I just am not a neutrals girl.
Looks great!
