Ask Liz! > Cheapest, best Naked Basics-ish eyeshadow palette?
Hi Amanda! Before getting the Naked 1 palette, I bought NYX Nude on Nude. I got mine from thepinkshoppe.com. For just over 1000 pesos (not more than 1300 if I remember correctly), you get 20 eye shadows plus 10 lip glosses (which are actually wearable). Packaging is sturdy and it comes with a big mirror. People have been comparing it to UD Naked 1 palette and now that I have both, I can say they're very close, good dupe even, because the looks you can do with these two are very similar. The only catch is that a couple of eye shadows from NYX are not as pigmented as the UD (2 or 3 light matte ones). Nothing a primer cannot help though. So sulit pa din.
It also comes in a smaller palette, I think 9 eyeshadows and two lip colors. I actually ordered this one initially but they didn't have it in stock so I went for the one with 20 shadows instead. I've checked and Stuff in Style has the smaller Nude on Nude for only 500 pesos.

Hey Amanda! It's P1,600 na lang pala, Stuff in Style lowered the price. ;)
Anyway, I always recommend the Wet n Wild Color Icon Palette in Vanity. Its P500 in drugstores locally but I'm sure you can find resellers online with a cheaper price!

You can further check Yani's suggestion Nyx Nude and Nude palette comparison with UD Naked 1 here: http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/product-reviews/get-naked-for-less-with-the-nyx-nude-on-nude-palette/
and the Nyx nude on Nude natural look Kit comparison with the UD Naked here:

They are both available also at nyxwholesaleph and as stuff in style ( as mentioned by yani).
But if you are looking for really good quality inexpensive neutral eyeshadow palette, wet n wild eyeshadows are your best bet. Try the 8 pan Color Icon eyeshadow in COMFORT ZONE.
Check here the 3 dupes from this palette:

And also comfort zone, not just because it is getting hype for having dupes for UD Naked 1, on its own merit it had gotten a lot of good reviews. Just google wet n wild comfort zone and a lot of good reviews will pop out. There's a good reason why this palette is getting a lot of love from bloggers.
Its about 500+ in wet n wild stand in SM department stores or P320 on nyxwholesaleph.

Hi! In your opinion, what is the cheapest, best, neutral eyeshadow palette out there? My peg is like your latest post about the Naked Basics one. Though I refuse to spend 1,800 on a 6-color palette. Please answer! Thanks a lot! :)
