NAKED 3 is real!!!

[cindypltnm81]

I've tried a lot of different eyeshadow brands from Cover Girl to Chanel and have had the worst luck with Bobbi Brown. I've tried the singles and palettes and found them to be poorly pigmented, especially considering the price BB charges. I've had some fallout with the more shimmery UD shades but I've found the quality and value to be among the best. I don't think fallout is a sign of poor quality, it's just a result of having shimmer or glitter in the shadow. I've had fallout issues with MAC and Kat Von D as well as UD.

I agree there are various brands with fall outs in their shadows nor am I saying bobbi brown did not meet the bill with fallout among the many. I never stated UD or any brand has poor quality shadows due to fallout. The other member replied with mentioning shadow fallouts not being deemed as poor quality. I myself never mentioned anything being poor quality, just stated Ive experienced fallout with my shadows in this recent UD palette. Everyone else will interpret what they will and that is okay We all love makeup nonetheless and that's what is most important.

Didn't meant to imply that you said it was poor quality in so many words. What you said was that it didn't meet your standards for what you paid (that is what I got from your statements of "Overall it still a beautiful palette but I'm very meticulous about where I spend and I just expected no fallout from them." and "IMO I feel the amount money I spend on full retail price makeup (no pro discount), I shld get exactly what I'm looking for and one of them being not having to deal with little to no fallout."). Me saying the words poor quality was just referring to it not meaning that someone got less than their money worth because fallout is present, but I didn't intend to make it seem like you used the words poor quality (if that makes sense). Sorry if that confused anyone else and made them think you did say it.

No, you're fine in your response. I didn't mean any shade toward you whatsoever. I've read your comments previously in other threads and always positive. I honestly don't have much experience with UD shadows other than with what I've purchased from them. So I was only stating an opinion and def was not disapproving UD. They are a great brand and like I said earlier, I will continue to support with the products that interest me. I love my Naked palettes dearly

I know that for some people it just didn't work but a lot just returned it with out really getting into it. I love mine and I find that using them foiled is soooooooooo freaking cute.

Foiled?
Is this a technique I need to add to my repetoire?
Tell me more, please!

I'm late to the Naked palettes- I bought myself Naked 1 as a Christmas prezzie last December and am very happy with the quality of the product. The texture is as good as that of my Kevyn Aucoin palette. The colours are lovely and I agree with the poster who says the UD palettes are great value for money.

Now, like cindypltnm81, I also have an aversion to fallout. If a product gives me fallout, I first make sure I haven't overloaded my brushes.
If fallout continues, out the product goes.
Life's too short to have fallout issues.

Still, I know Naked 3 will find it's way to my makeup cabinet sooner or later. I find the colours way too attractive to pass it up!

"Foiling" just means using the product wet.

Say "no" to fallout! lol But you're right the naked 3 is a beauty, fallout and all it's worth. The shadows are super soft and picks up with ease.

I'm so upset, my mum bought me the Naked 3 palette on amazon and it's a fake!! We both noticed when I opened it on Xmas day as it hasn't got many pink shades and it even has a blue!! I'm very sad as my mum is quite upset and obviously didn't know enough to realise it wasn't the palette without taking it out of the case. There was no way to suspect it was a fake being sold as amazon is supposed to be reputable (at least with other products). They won't answer emails so I'm stuck with the fake palette and I don't dare use it as I've got very sensitive eyes and I don't know what the quality of the palette will be in this aspect...

that really sucks. you should try to contact them and they should be able to refund you the money. Was it advertised as Naked 3? When I was looking to purchase my palette; I noticed that there were some palettes on amazon that were similar to Naked 3 but let you know it wasn't the real palette but a dupe of the Naked 3 palette. I hope everything works out for you.

I'm so sorry, both for you and your well-meaning mum.
Because it's a fake, you have NO idea what ingredients are in those eye shadows.
Bin it and send your mum flowers to cheer her up and remind her how much you love her.

Sounds like she may have purchased from a 3rd party seller that uses Amazon. You have to be a little careful with that. That really sucks...on her invoice does it say that it was prepared by Amazon (sometimes items are sold by a 3rd party but shipped/prepared by Amazon and sometimes they aren't. The listing will say so but the invoice should also indicate it I imagine). If she used her credit card for the purchase she may be able to dispute the charge if she had attempted in good faith to contact them and they refuse to contact her or try to help rectify the issue. Good luck with everything! Amazon is a great place BUT you do have to be careful with the 3rd party vendors sometimes.

Here's a link for the thread which has that tutorial on foiling
http://www.specktra.net/t/175693/foiling-a-pigment-teal-and-purple-tutorial#post_2545214

 

[IHughes]

Yes, it's my go-to technique for popping colour.
I wasn't familiar with the term "foiling", though now I know what it means, it makes perfect sense.
I've just seen a tutorial on the subject done by one of us.
Very nice effect indeed!


With much gnashing of teeth I've given away hundreds of euros' worth of eye shadows that give me fallout to people who wear them without a hint of fallout.

I'm not sure which I hate worse, fallout or panda eyes.
Both.
I hate them both.



I'm so sorry, both for you and your well-meaning mum.

Thanks for the kind replies!!
I'm not sure if she bought it from a third party seller but it might have been. There isn't much she can do as some time passed since she received the parcel and when I opened it and noticed it was a fake. The upsetting thing is that I know she paid more than retail price as this is when it was out of stock. It was labeled as a real Nake 3 palette unfortunately and for someone like my mum it's hard to tell if it's fake or not or if it's a good seller or not. She just trusts that it's Amazon.
Anyhow, thank you all and I just wanted to let you guys know so you aren't scammed too!!

You may still be in return window, check return policy because for holidays they extended the return period until end of january:
"Items dispatched by Amazon.co.uk during the period from November 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 inclusive may be returned at any time before midnight on January 31, 2014"

And they should suspend the sellers account:

Thanks!! Let's see if I can convince her to do something because she's in this let's not bother mood and be happy and relaxed but I think something should be done so that it doesn't happen again to someone else!!

She may still also be able to do something as far as getting her money back from her credit card company or bank depending on their rules. She just needs to contact them and find out the steps for disputing a charge. If she used a bank debit card it will usually have the same rules as a credit card would.

So I don't love naked 3 yes I said it lol

It's pretty but def not my fav of the three naked palettes.

Yah it definitely has more fallout compared to my naked one. I gets it's more glitter than metallic? Idk I felt my n1 was pretty shimmery. I'm undecided if I want to get rid of it. I'm just not a huge fan of the colors on me I knew I should have skipped the pinks
