Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

If you're an eyeshadow lover, or better yet and Urban Decay Naked palette fan like me... you're gonna die of beauty lust when you feast your eyes on this beauty!  The Naked Basics palette consists of 6 pretty little neutral matte shades.  I've mentioned before that I'm a huge fan of shimmer, but matte shadows are essential for creating a flawless look.  In fact, i find myself reaching for my matte shadows a whole lot more these days!  These hues will complement any skin tone and will help you create anything from a simple clean look to a slightly more dramatic look if you wish.  I'm kind of in love with black eye shadow right now.  Yes, it may sound a bit dramatic, but if you apply it correctly, it can look incredibly sexy!  So did Santa leave one of these pretty babies in your stocking this year?  Tell me what you think!  Oh and i just spotted the Naked Basics nail polish set!  Wouldn't it look lovely with this palette?  I kinda need it now!
