Urban Decay Foxy Mini Naked Palette Review & Swatches
Foxy
Urban Decay Foxy Naked Your Way Mini Eyeshadow Palette ($29.00 for 0.12 oz.) includes three matte shades and three shimmer shades. The quality was on the lower side here–just scraping by into the B- range–due to consistent powderiness or dryness in the textures, which resulted in sheerer coverage, more fallout, etc.
Ingredients

LELimited Edition. $29.00.

Formula Overview
$19.00/0.06 oz. - $316.67 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "high-pigment" with "ultra-smooth color payoff with maximum blendability" while being long-wearing. The brand is confusing, as they claim "up to 12 hours."
The majority of the shades I tested were pigmented--semi-opaque to opaque--with the matte finish having the most variance. The lighter matte shades tended to be thinner, more powdery, and sheerer as a result of those texture differences. The more satin-to-pearl shimmer shades tended to be thinner, too, and they sometimes applied more unevenly or had to be built up. The higher-sheen shimmer shades tended to be pigmented, lightly creamy, and blendable with good adhesion.
They wore between eight and nine hours on average, which is solid wear time but similar to a lot of other powder eyeshadows for me, so it wasn't extra long-wearing in context.
In comparison to the last iteration of the brand's eyeshadow formula, it did not feel vastly different. The mattes seemed a little thinner and a touch more powdery, while the shimmers were a touch thicker on average with some of the more pearl-like finishes having weaker coverage and felt too firmly-pressed into the pan and looked thinner on, so they weren't as flattering to wear.

I have had this little palette for several weeks, and I suppose that because I always have Smashbox 24HR Eyeshadow Primer on before any and all eye looks, this works quite well for me. Well, mostly. One shade, Hot Stuff, is the one iffy shade for me personally. Also, I like bringing in SG Spyder from Mel Thompson’s Tiny Marvels for greater definition, but I don’t fault the palette for my lack of a crease!
Urban Decay continues to disappoint. It’s a real shame, I grew up on their stuff and used to really love their shadows. I hope they’re able to turn it around…But with subpar shadows and colour stories? This ain’t gonna do it!
What can we say about Urban Decay now? A shadow of its former self… I do like Get Down and Disco the best, but I have lots of dupes for those two shades – thanks to SG that are much better quality.
Oh, dear! I sort of hoped this one would be good, but alas it’s not.
Why UD, why?
Thanks Christine for continuing to review UD. Maybe one of these days they will surprise us with a good well performing palette.
I have and like this palette, but I have not used Funky Town as anything other than a corner accent or eyeliner, so I haven’t had problems with blending it out. I’m also fairer than a lot of people, and I think what seems “powdery” or doesn’t have staying power for others actually works better on my eyes. These shadows are simple to use and blend for me, although they are not as good as my older MAC or UD shadows.
I recieved this palette yesterday by mistake, I wanted half baked. Soon as I saw it I realized it would be too light on me. I just grabbed a shade that is warmer and deeper from a different palette . It turned out okay but I don’t love this palette. It is cute for on the go !
Yikes….
