I have tested this product out for 26 weeks! I can now provide you with an honest review.
I absolutely LOVE neutral and warm colors!
I will review this product based off of 5 things. 1. Packaging 2. Price 3. Longevity (Durability, easily smudged etc.) 4. Colors (Vibrancy, opaque, color variety, easy to blend etc.) 5. Texture
Let's begin!
1. Packaging (*All the pictures are mine*)
My camera makes the tin look yellow when it's actually medium brown color. It was night time when I took this photo and my lighting is just terrible.
It comes with a crease & shadow brush. As well as a lip junkie lip gloss.
The packaging is really cute and classy. The material feels very sturdy and tin-like but not tacky sort of like an art student's tray. What is underneath the tin is a cardboard like box. In back of the box are photos of the shadows and their names. I really like the color of the packaging it's a medium coffee color, that's the best I can describe the color.
2. Price
The price for this palette is pretty steep. Note though that there are 12 colors in the palette so it's not too shabby.
The net weight of the shadows according to the Urban Decay site is Fill Weight: Eyeshadow: 12 x 1.3g e 12 x 0.05 US oz. This is usually around the basic amount of product you get with many eyeshadows.
The price for this palette at the Urban Decay site is $50 a pop.
Bonanza has the Naked 2 Palette selling for $37 a pop.

Most sites have the Naked 2 Palette selling at $50 such as ULTA and Sephora.
Other sites have them going a bit cheaper like Bonanza and some sellers on Amazon.
I personally didn't buy this, my amazing bf gave this to me as a Christmas gift!
I've read many blogs that have talked about how the Naked 2 palette has many dupes. Some even very cheap affordable drugstore dupes! My advice is if you already have many of the colors don't buy it, save your money.
It's a very lovely palette and I personally didn't have many neutral or warm colors so for me it was a win win!
3. Longevity
I use this palette every day. Especially the color, Bootycall, which MAC has a dupe called Shroom and Wet N Wild's trio, Walking on eggshells has a dupe for Bootycall.
Most of the colors are very creamy and easy to blend, but surprisingly they aren't easily smudged. I'd use the palette to the Uni and they'd last me from early morning 'til late afternoon. They do not smudge easily and they don't tend to crease until after more than 4 hours.

4. Colors!!
So thanks to this palette I have my favorite neutral color which is Bootycall. (Again, MAC has a dupe called Shroom and Wet N Wild's trio, Walking on eggshells has a dupe for Bootycall.)
It is a gorgeous solid palette so it has soft neutrals to more daring darker tones. It has some matte colors like Foxy, Tease and Blackout. The rest are more shimmery, creamy easily blended colors (which I prefer).

Let's see the colors!
NOTE: I did finger swatches because I'm a pretty fair skinned girl and the color Foxy would just blend right in to my skin and you couldn't see it whatsoever! My fingers and palm of my hands are more pink so I decided to showcase the colors there.

5. Texture
The texture of the shimmery colors are very rich and creamy. The matte colors are soft, not too powdery and extremely pigmented and opaque.
*EXTRAS*
UD throws in a crease & shadow brush
which I personally like. I understand the crease brush might not be some people's cup of tea but it's not too bad.
UD also throws in a Lip Junkie lip gloss which I absolutely love! Here's a swatch!
Told you my skin was pretty fair toned.
It's a lovely light coral pink color!
Overall this is a very complete solid palette with great soft neutrals and dark tones!
Hope this helped anyone looking into buying the Naked 2 Palette!
XOXO
