Urban Decay Naked on the Run Palette

Okay, get ready all you UD fans out there..they have done it again and created this travel friendly palette called Naked on the Run. I laugh every time I say that. But anyway, back to my post. They created this limited edition palette which kind of sucks because once it's gone, it's gone. Hmmm...maybe I should go get another one!? I did hear that it is available online at Ulta and will hit the stores December 4th. It's also available at Sephora but only online. Yikes! That means it will get gone fast.

My own personal photo of the palette
Urban Decay cosmetics has always been a long standing makeup line that I love. I don't think I've tried anything from them that I didn't love. Occasionally you can find them on Hautelook.com but for the most part I purchase their products from Ulta or online at urbandecay.com.

But I had the chance to snag one this weekend during Black Friday and alas I did have to pay the full $54 for it. However, it was well worth it. I did use it this morning and I was blown away by it. I already have the Naked 2 and Naked 3 palettes and a few of the 24/7 eyeliners so that came as no surprise that this palette included eyeshadows and a travel 24/7 eyeliner.

I know what you're thinking, so what makes this so special? Well, there are 6 never-before-seen eyeshadows and it has a bronzer and a blush. On top of that you get a FULL SIZE, new shade of the Naked Lipgloss as well as a new shade in the 24/7 eyeliner. The best part is you can buy more of the Naked lipglosses and travel 24/7 eyeliners and interchange them in this palette. How cool is that? Oh, and it also comes with a travel Perversion Mascara.




Okay, so here's my review and the skinny on what's inside...

6  Eyeshadows:
Dive is a metallic rose with golden shimmer
Fix is a soft matte taupe
Resist is a medium metallic taupe
Dare is a medium matte brown
Stun is a metallic bronze with light gold shimmer
5050 is a cool satin bisque color. Each is about 0.04 ounces.

Bronzer: Medium matte bronze and it's about 0.03 ounces.
Blush: It's a vibrant pink with light shimmer and it's 0.3 ounces.
FULL SIZE Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss in Sesso (note this is a NEW Limited Edition shade)
Travel Size Perversion Mascara in 0.13 fl. oz.
Travel Size 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Stag (note this is a NEW shade)

As a side note: I will tell you that I noticed Ulta has the wrong names for the Lipgloss and the eye pencil. What I've listed is correct.

So how does it all perform...

Amazingly well! The mascara is just okay for me. It does give volume but doesn't really lengthen like some of my other mascaras. The eyeshadows blend really well. The colors are gorgeous for every day use. The bronzer is very light so I don't know if it would show up on darker skin tones unless you use a heavy hand with it. I used a light hand because I wasn't sure how it would look on my fair skin tone. The blush is very pretty, highly pigmented and creates a natural look. I think it would look good on any skin tone.

The eyeliner is kind of like your classic black so nothing special there. The lipgloss is the best! It's so nourishing and not sticky. The color is very pretty, kind of like a rosy pink but not too intense. The best part about this palette is you can pop in a new gloss and a new eyeliner for on-the-go.

Did it last?
Absolutely!!! I used the Urban Decay Anti-Aging eyeshadow primer potion on my eyelids and from about 8 a.m. this morning until about now, the eyeshadows still looked pigmented. I've changed my mind about the mascara. I love it! It didn't flake off and stayed put. I have combination skin so I get really oily in my T-Zone and even though I had some shine to my face at the end of the day, the bronzer and blush were both still visible on my skin. So props to UD! The gloss, well I didn't wear it much today because I was eating, drinking and playing with my daughter (who likes to put her hands on my face sometime). The eyeliner did stay on however it was fading some from where I placed it on my waterline. All in all, I cannot rave enough about this palette.

Overall, I'm impressed and so glad I got this. If you're a UD fan like I am, you need this in your collection! It's well worth the splurge of $54. So what are you waiting for? Go get it now before it's gone!!!
