Beauty: The Budget Option

A few weeks ago I told you all about my new Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette which I received for my birthday. The fact is that I would never spend that kind of money on a beauty product myself, so I was on the hunt for the budget option for Catrice. Since I had read on a blog about this Nude Palette I really needed to get my hands on one of these. Of course I wasn't the only one, so I found myself empty handed every time. Since I got the Urban Decay palette for my birthday I wasn't really looking for the Catrice one anymore, of course that was moment I casually bumped into it. I actually needed to think about it for a moment, would I actually use this budget palette? Well I got it anyway, and I'm very glad I did. 

As you can see in photo 3 the colours are identical with the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. The quality is a little less. You need much more product to create the same intense look. I bought this palette for my all day nude/smokey-eye look. I seem to use it everyday when I go to work, just because I'm too lazy to get my Urban Decay Palette. Also I mean to take it with me on holiday, I would want to drop my big palette. 

So in my opinion the Catrice Nude Palete is a good investment when you find the Urban Decay palette too expensive. Do note that you'll need much more product to create an intense look. Also the texture is not as smooth as the Urban Decay eyeshadow, but in price you still have a very good product! 

Catrice Nude Palette €4,99 (Kruidvat)

Urban Decay Naked 2 €42,30 (Beautybay)

New in: Naked 2 by Urban Decay

Guess what my mother-in-law got me for my birthday? The Naked 2! I know, I'm a slow adapter, since it has been out for ages. Nevertheless I'm so happy! The colours are so rich, the texture is great, the variety of colours is perfect. The big mirror is super handy, also the brush that comes with it works quite well. The metal box is an extra cool feature. Since I'm no beauty blogger (I seriously know nothing about beauty, even can't apply my own eyeliner without using a million of cotton tips...) I wont bore you with a product review. If your are interested in a good review let me know, cause I found quite a lot when I was choosing my new eye shadow pallette. My mother-in-law actually got it shipped in from the UK (I think...) since it's not available in The Netherlands right now.

What is your opinion? Do you like the big pallette by Urban Decay? Or rather stick to solo eye shadows from your local drugstore?
