The full size Urban Decay Naked Heat palette was released last year and there was much excitement among the beauty world because this selection of eye shadows was a little different to their previous few palettes. It's called Naked Heat for a reason, because all the shades are beautiful and warm shades of brown, coral and burgundy. Really pretty.
I admit I dithered about this palette though because I really wasn't sure that I'd be able to make good use of all the colours, lovely though they are. I like value for money palettes and I think £40.00 for something you'll only use a few colours in is a bit steep and a bit of a waste. Even when I went to Sephora in the US I still couldn't bring myself to part with however many dollars it was. I decided I'd made the right call and bought myself a Milani palette with similar colours for about $12 instead. Job done.
But going back to yesterday, seeing the Naked Heat Petite pallete changed my mind again. It's so pretty!
It's got six of the best colours, all I think would be completely useable because they aren't too dark or 'off the wall'. The first three colours are light and good for a daytime eye, the second three are darker and can be used for a smoky eye or as a liner, particularly the last darkest brown colour.

This costs £26.00 which I feel is much more manageable and better value as all of the colours can be used. I'm very happy with my Naked Basics palette in fact I'm on my second one, not so impressed with the Naked Basics 2 as the colours are lighter and I don't get much use out of them but I probably need to give more of a try.
The thing about the UD eye shadows is that they are really good quality, not much fall out, if any, and really good to blend. They also last a long time particularly if an eye shadow primer is used and don't tend to smudge if you rub your eyes accidentally!
So ... this palette is now on my wishlist. I don't need it but I will use it.
Thanks Urban Decay!
