So I really wanted an Urban Decay palette, the Naked 2 to be exact, and I remember that Rubybox had the originals for about R650 some time back. so when i saw this on bidorbuy, I am ashamed to say, I thought it was the real deal.. I'm not familiar with U.D so please bear with me here.

So I paid R400 + and additional R50 for shipping the seller was really convincing that it was the real deal and all, But only after I had paid, I did a little digging, and then very sadly discovered I had pretty much been scammed.

BUT, I guess every cloud has a silver lining. When my parcel arrived, I immediately swatched it. Surprisingly the shadows are highly pigmented and are buttery soft. It picks up well on the brush, applies like a dream and is easily blendable.

The problem with fakes is that it's not regulated so I have no idea what ingredients it contains, but lucky for me I have had no reaction. I have since stopped using it and saving my pennies for the real deal - currently R1399 on 27pinkx.

The brush itself it useless, cheap quality with shedding hairs. light as a feather and belongs in the bin - Just my opinion here.

All in all, a lesson learnt, and R450 later.. at least i have a nice palette of colours for my face charts :)
