Comparison of Original and (possibly) Fake Naked 2 Palette

Hi Belle :)

i wasn't expected to write a post about original and possibly fake naked palette, but i read someone's post about that and trying to help her solve her problem. So i think, why not post in on my blog either?

Naked palette by Urban Decay is sooo popular among the beauty bloggers and many woman in the world. And those popularities is continued by Naked 2, not as popular as her sister but still so tempting. Sadly, their price tag is kinda high, usd 50, and rarely reducted.

However, those price tag are followed by good quality items, and the fact that noone would empty it in short time. But that just my opinion. Theres many people disagree and choose to get cheap (fake) version of Naked palette from ebay, amazon, or if they're in Indonesia, from Kaskus (indonesian largest community forum, which allow their member to trade).

With the excitement of internet these days, it's so easy to find a good picture of Naked(s) palette and make a fake items that look really alike the original one. All shades also explained so well by some popular beauty blogger, and the fake makers are getting more succesfully doing their jobs.

today i found a very good (suspected) fake naked 2 palette. Take a look, ladies :)

the old-fashioned fake naked 2 palette came alone without the lip gloss. But now, it is!

the "naked 2" and "urban decay" font are exactly the same with the original one. Really, it's a masterpiece. I couln't even telling you if it's possibly not original if i just see the packaging, even if i have the original naked 2 i purchased at the trusted seller, Sephora.

i've zoomed the picture and i think the explanation behind the packaging is the same with mine. So still, it's probably original either.

i can't find any "wrong" shades also .. So what's wrong?

i'm telling you, the BRUSH!

let's compare it to trusted beauty blogger's picture :

this one is Temptalia's.

and this one is Xsparkage's.

• The bristle color is different. Temptalia's and Xsparkage's dual ended brush is in silver-chrome color, while the one from Kaskus is gold. I don't think Urban Decay will made 2 different bristle color for the same product. So..
• In both of Temptalia's and Xsparkage's good karma dual ended brush, the fluffy brush is in left side of "naked 2" words, and the flat brush is in right side. In the picture i took from kaskus, is the opposite. Fluffy brush in right side while flat brush in left side.

i'm not providing link of fake naked 2 palette source of picture because i dont want anyone judge her, or buying it from her without knowing if it's original or fake. As additional information, she's selling it for IDR 480.000 (about usd 50, 1 usd is about idr 9600). Don't you think it's weird since taking the product from USA or any other country need shipping cost, even if she carried it her self, she still need to get profit right?

the original naked and naked 2 palette in their website (urbandecay.com) or sephora (sephora.com) is for usd 50. It's about SGD 80 in Singapore, or RM 180 in Malaysia. So if you have the budget, it's better to get it from trusted seller, because except it's funny getting fake item for the same price with the original one, you'd never know what's inside fake items. There's might be dangerous ingredients or what. Just be careful.

think twice if you find cheap naked palette, and see the picture from trusted beauty blogger before deciding ^^

some beauty blogger might have mistake too, so do i, so dont forget to crosscheck!

thanks for reading, and if you dont mind, follow me ^^

p.s :

oh if you're the seller who sell this palette on kaskus, i'm so sorry, i never mean to ruin your business, i've just telling my reader what's on my mind. Thank you :)
