N3.  I thought I saw one with the pencil, but now I'm having browser issues, so I can't pull up any pictures.  Maybe it just looked like N3 because I was on my phone on the bus with its weird  evening lighting.

I really don't understand the hype with these.  They're a pretty good deal for the price, BUT they actually aren't that great with a variety of shades. Don't get me wrong, I have the 1st 2. But I 100% won't be getting the 3rd, I hardly even touch my Naked Palette 1. I love Naked 2, but the 3rd just seems like a lot of pinky shades and ones that are similar to the 1st 2 palettes.  I understand that their Naked palettes are exciting and whatnot, but I think it's more about brand name than it is about an actually good product /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Anyone agree? PS. I'm saying this mainly to try to persuade MYSELF to not buy the palette haha. I know I don't want it, but I also know I will when it comes out because everyone else is getting it. haha

I disagree. I'm not trying to persuade you to buy it, if you don't like the pinks and don't think you'll use it much, then save your money. As for variety of shades, they are supposed to be similar. UD makes some really nice eye makeup and I think they've earned that loyalty based on quality. I know how you feel though because that's how I feel about Mac, much hype for an underperforming product.

UD just retweeted a fan pic of the palette colours up close and personal next to the Naked 2 palette about 3 hours ago, if I can find it I'll post it. Having a hard time figuring out how pink is a neutral shade tho.

Wow I feel like I've started all kinds of discussions /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I also love Urban Decay. The quality of their shadows wasn't being questioned (they're awesome) but they aren't worth $52 to me for really basic colors that a billion companies have dupes of and make just as good quality. No hate though! I can't wait to see what everyone does with the naked 3!!

I feel you. I have a ton of neutral shadows too. I got Vice 2 last month and still hoping some new color palettes will come out.

Well, for me the brand name is only a selling point, because their eye shadows are so consistently high quality.  I'm excited, because I wear neutrals almost exclusively, and because pinks and rosey nudes/browns make me look really healthy. Also, the other two palettes are too dark to really be as useful to me, as they would otherwise be. I love that the lightest color is super-pigmented and matte, which will make it perfect for a brow highlight. And several of the shades will look good by themselves as an eyelid color.

I get that some people want more adventurous colors, but for me, it is about what actually looks best on me. I try really hard to find colors like this in a high end brand, and other brands just fall short, or discontinue their good colors, too often.

I agree with everything!  I am excited to purchase this one, whereas I never bought the other two because I felt like the shades wouldn't work as well for me.

Okay okay, after seeing this and reading the review on Temptalia I might have been totally wrong about the colors not being different enough.  I have a feeling I'll end up with this in my makeup stash sooner or later /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet in the thread, but on Musings of a Muse's blog she wrote that the Naked 3 Palette will be released this month on urbandecay.com, and will be available through other retailers in December!

Considering my favorite UD shadow right now is Bordello, there's no question - I will get a lot of use out of Naked 3. I love pink shadows!

 

[luckyme502]

Okay so my friend said she doesn't know when Ulta will start carrying them. Which means that Ulta's corporate hasn't even told their store managers yet, if corporate even knows. As soon as I hear a date I will post it!

 

[JC327]

This palette is definitely on my need list!

 

[bluelion]

I'm definitely interested, but I'll probably wait a few months till the frenzy dies down before buying one, and check out the display sample in the meantime to make sure I'll get good use out of it. Glad these are not LE.

I'm also going to wait for the frenzy to die- because we know there is no way they won't have them in stock again at some point after the original sell-out. I *REALLY* like this palette, especially after seeing the extremely detailed swatching and review (AND 3 LOOKS) here: http://www.temptalia.com/urban-decay-naked3-eyeshadow-palette-review-photos-swatches

I am definitely getting it (probably online at Sephora), but I think I'll wait until January so I can get free shipping and my birthday gift, and by then I'll have lots of Beauty Insider points at Sephora.

I wonder if there will be any primer or other little extra included in the palette besides the brush. ETA: Sorry, I forgot it came with a sample of each of their eye primers... except the anti-aging one, I believe.

BTW, how good of quality are the UD brushes that come with the Naked palettes? Do you get much shedding? Are they synthetic (I guess so since technically UD is against animal cruelty despite the ownage by L'Oreal/Nestle).

I JUST purchased the LORAC PRO palette at Ulta to get the freebies that come with it this month (free eyeliner, CC cream, and face primer in addition to the eye primer). I'm debating whether or not to take it back and just wait on the UD N3, because it's my first palette purchase and I really don't need many eyeshadows (since my eye are kind of protruding a bit and I have a lot of natural shadow). What would you gals do?

ETA again: I think I'm keeping my LORAC PRO palette and will also be getting the UD Naked 3- guys, the more  I look at this, the prettier it seems, especially in this video:

I want this palette and was planning on getting the Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral Matte/Shimmer Holiday Palette and then also saw the Coastal Scents Revealed Palette before I saw this one...trying not to get those now since this is supposed to release soon. Thoughts?

 

[eastofthesun]

Why the @#%& don't they just have the ability to preorder, like in new video game releases? Is it to hype it up even more and make sure people jump on it for fear of not getting it? I guess that would be the case. They should really, really consider looking into preorders, though. It never scares the video game market about getting profit.

I would totally jump on a pre-order!! I think pre-orders are a great idea. I'm sure tons of people would jump on it as well.

When Naked 1 came out I preordered it from Macy's.  When we picked it up they gave us a free Kabuki brush as they were phasing out the purple white brushes to how the brushes look now.

  Why the @#%

I tried to preorder Naked 2 from Macy's and was told that only a Macy's store with an Urban Decay division could do a preorder! I live in LA around a whole bunch of Macy's stores and the closest one with an, "Urban Decay Division" as they called it was in Orange County! So just a heads up that only some Macy's do preorders (or at least that was the case during Naked 2's debut). I just caught up on the last 100 posts and this is actually quite a bit more different from Naked and Naked 2 than I initially realized. I don't know how much I love pinks and purples but I still have to get it just to play with it and see.
