I bought this palette on a whim when I saw it at Dischem because I heard it was a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. Although a few of the colours look similar to the Naked palette in the pan, the quality and colour payoff certainly isn't.
There are a few shades that I use now and then (I like the lightest one to highlight my brow bone), and some of the shimmery shades apply quite nicely as they seem to be a bit creamier than the matte shades (strange, I know). I definitely don't use all the colours in the pan, and I find the deeper ones to look a bit strange on my skin, since you really have to apply quite a lot of product to get a shade similar to what it looks like in the pan ( I haven't tried this with a white primer/base, perhaps this could help?)
Apart from being disappointed in the colour payoff of some shades, there are a few rosy pinks that I do like and use together with some higher-end, darker shadows.
Although I wouldn't tell someone to rush out and buy this, I feel that the low price sort of justifies the few nice shades that I can use.
Not impressed, but not greatly disappointed either.

A few days ago, I purchased the LA Girl Nudes Eyeshadow Collection pallet. I have heard that it is a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 pallet. I paid R99.99 at Dischem for the LA Girl pallet. So I thought I would test this out and let you know what I thought.
Pros:

Wide variety of colours
Beautiful pink/ rose/ nude shades
Blend out really well
Feels ‘velvety’ on the eyelids
Mattes shades are very pigmented
Lasts all day
Vast amounts of looks to try
Good value for money
Cons:

3 very similar shades
No matte darker shades
No shimmery light shades
Shimmery shades are not very pigmented
The brush that it comes with is poor quality


In conclusion, the pros very obviously outweigh the cons. I am very happy with the pallet, and will probably go out and purchase the Smokey pallet too.
