The Urban Decay Naked 3 palette ($52)! I was so incredibly excited to get this, and it was the only eyeshadow palette I brought with me on my week long trip to Vegas. I was actually really surprised to see at the beginning of my trip that the Vegas strip Sephoras still had several of these palettes out to sell, but by the middle of my trip, they were all gone!
This entire palette runs pinkish in tone. It is basically divided into half light pinkish colors and half darker browns. There aren't a lot of mid-toned colors here, but I actually don't miss it all that much. I feel like the other Naked palettes cover these colors already, so if you own the other palettes, then this is a great addition. Even if you don't own the other Naked palettes, this is a wonderful palette to own!
Long story short, this is my new fave! All the shadows were very pigmented, had great staying power, and were beautiful! I only have Naked 1 on top of this one but definitely think this is a completely different palette from 1 or 2. All my swatches are done with 2 swipes on the pan, because I feel like that way the swatches are very similar in pigmentation to how I would actually wear the shadows on my eyes.

Strange
A matte white. No complaints here.
Dust
A glittery pale pink. I had heard quite a bit of criticism about the fallout from this
color. I does feel really grainy in the pan and drier too, which is
different from all the other shadows in this palette that are smooth and
silky. You can see in the swatch little balls of what looks like grit. I
think that's glitter snowballed up with shadow. Do expect glitter
fallout from this! I did also get some glitter in my eye when I put this
in the inner corners of my eyes. That being said, this is a really
pretty shadow, and I don't think it's bad enough to be a palette deal
breaker. I still use it pretty much every application.
Burnout
This is a nice satin beige-y pink.
Limit
Matte beige-y pink. This is a great base color.
Buzz
A
sparkly rose-pink. It looks just as glittery as Dust in the pan, but it
doesn't have all the glitter fallout. This is one of my favorite colors
in the palette.
Trick
This
is the token gold in the set. It's so beautiful! This seemed the least
pigmented of the bunch when I swatched it, but I haven't had a problem
when using it on my eyes. Like Buzz, this looks as glittery as Dust in
the pan, but there isn't any fallout, and the texture is silky like the
other shadows.
Nooner
The
last matte shade! It's a darker brown than Limit. I like using this for
blending the darker crease colors. This is the border in the palette
between the light and dark colors.
Liar
A satiny milk chocolate brown. It's so beautiful, isn't it? To be really honest, this and the next few shades up until Blackheart look really similar, but there are some differences.
Factory
A satin dark chocolate brown.
Mugshot
Another satiny dark brown. There actually is a difference between Mugshot and Factory. Factory is more of a reddish brown compared to Mugshot.
Darkside
The darkest brown yet.
Blackheart
This is my absolute favorite in the whole palette! It's a really dark brown that is almost black. What I really like about this color is the sparkle. As you can see in the swatch, it is a purplish sparkle, which gives this color almost a plum look. It is amazing!
I think this is a palette worth getting! I usually feel hesitant about getting palettes that go over $50, but this is definitely worth the hype. It's great for day and night looks! I brought it to Vegas and definitely brought it from day to night. I cannot say enough good things about this palette!
If you've tried this, let me know what you think as well!
Hope you enjoyed this review :D. Thanks for reading!
