This is my signature makeup pallate. I get SO many compliments every day and people are always asking me what eyeshadow I use. Love it!!
More reviews by melissalovesmakeup
Love love love this palette! All of these neutral colors look beautiful on any eye. The mini primer potion that comes with it will definitely come in handy! One of my favorite colors on the palette is "sidecar!" Shadows go on like butter. Smooth shadows that glide on with ease. Love it!
** Only gave 3 lippies to the packaging cause I'm really not a big fan of the felt case, and I'm also not a big fan of the magnetic closing case. I have NAKED2 and NAKED3 and the cases on those are similar, hopefully if they make anymore of the NAKED palettes, which I'm sure they will, they will continue with the metal case. Love UDNaked! Definite Buy!

This palette was my very first UD purchase so it has a special spot in my heart. For reference I'm a NC45 in skintone. I reach for this when I'm wanting a nice bronzy or smokey eye. The colors are easy to blend and does not fade on me over the course of the day. As my primer I use MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study and I encounter zero creasing over 10 hours of wear. I haven't come to close to hitting pan just yet as I've bouncing between this one and the Lorac Pro palette. Its a worthy buy.

This was my first eyeshadow palette of any kind, and with it being UD, it had to be good. It's far exceeded my expectations and I find myself going back to it no matter how many other palettes I buy. It's probably my HG palette, if one of those can exist. It's so pigmented and the shades are so diverse almost any look can be achieved. Sure, it's pricey, but it comes out to be about $4/eyeshadow and that's in the drugstore range. I can't say enough good things about it. The only con I have is that the packaging is a bit... delicate. It's strong and durable in its construction, but the gold foil lettering is wearing off just from daily use and it's like a magnet for any kind of lint or fur and that doesn't look too pretty on the brown velvet. That's cosmetic (no pun intended) but nothing can be PERFECT. If that's the only issue I have with it, I'd say it's a pretty great palette. If you don't have it, BUY IT. Now.
I don't know how I was ever happy without this palette. I realize 3 others have come out since this one but I don't care, the first one in my opinion is the best and oh so beautiful!
-the texture of Urban Decay shadows are the best in my opinion, as well as MAC's. They're smooth and velvety, NEVER chalky or powdery. No fallout as long as you tap your brush.
-the colors are beautiful especially if you have a warm skin tone. I'm tan with a yellow or olive skintone and these shades look incredible on the skin! If you're cooler you'd probably like the Naked 2.
-the colors are mostly bronze, browns and cream colors. A few darker colors for a smoky eye but most are very natural every day shades.
-the price is expensive. 52 dollars but I would say its worth every penny. I use it every single day and I haven't purchased another eyeshadow since I got the naked palette. Everything I need is in it!
-nice velvet packaging, with a magnetic closure. HUGE mirror which I was very pleased with. Also came with a double sided eyeliner.
-Virgin: sheer, midtone highlight shade. Not too pink, not too yellow. Right in the middle. I'd call it a shimmery pearl.
-Sin: shimmer highlight as well. More on the pink side.
-Naked: just as the name suggests. A very natural mid tone brown. More of a light brown than a dark brown. Perfect transition color or to blend out any other shadows. Matte and not chalky at all.
-Sidecar: a shimmery taupe brown. I like to pair this one with Virgin. They go great together.
-Buck: a very warm matte brown. More yellow undertones than Naked.
-Half Baked: a very vibrant, shimmer gold color.
-Darkhorse: shimmery brown with gold shimmer
-Toasted: my favorite color in the palette. It's similar to All that Glitters from MAC but it's got way more depth and intensity. Almost looks multi dimensional. It has some taupe, some red, some gold, some purple. Very interesting color.
-Hustle: dark chocolate shimmer brown with some red shimmer in it.
-Creep: purple-ish black color with silver glitter. You may get some fallout with this one. Be careful!
-Gunmental: name says it all. Very intense gunmental silver color. Has a little bit of a blue tint to it as well. So pretty!
All in all I say it's worth the money for sure. You will use all of the colors and some of my favorite eyeshadows of all time come from this palette. You get your moneys worth. 12 good quality eyeshadows can never be a bad thing!

So yeah, I'm VERY late getting Naked. After having wasted money on dupes I finally just went ahead and bought the real thing. It has changed my eyeshadow life I tell ya. There is not a color in here that doesn't look good on my 52yr old NW45 self! They apply, blend, are true to color on my eyes and wear beautifully with a primer. I've used them every single day and am beyond pleased. The color Buck is the perfect shade for both a base and when I just want a wash of color. Sidecar and Darkhorse....It's just true love, I could go on and on. Ok, I'm gushing now. So I'll just end by saying that is one of my top 3 best beauty purchases this year.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This was my first palette ever, and it was the best $50 I've spent in my life. The eyeshadows are creamy and the color payoff is magnificent. It's so versatile. You can do anything from a natural no makeup look to a party glam look to a smokey eye. It's gorgeous. In my option this is the only naked palette that you'll ever need! Nothing against the others because I own them as well, but my go to palette is the Naked. The colors are browns and golds. And it also has a really pretty gunmetal color. My favorite shade is probably sidecar, which is like a muted gold gray color. It doesn't have shimmer but it looks more like crushed up gold. I really really like this palette and I hope they never discontinue it. Ever.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this, I can get almost every look I want with this palette. The colors are so smooth and pigmented. The only thing I don't like is the packaging. I've had mine for about a year and its looks so rough. The eye shadow stained the rim the velvet exterior is darkened at the corners. The eye shadow itself is wonderful. Packaging not so much.

I have had this palatte for about maybe 18+ months. I have used the hell out of it. My velvet case is tattered. Coloration is splendid, I like the variety. It has a great matte lid shade to begin. Very versatile and easy to travel with. Overall, I think this is the only naked palette you should buy.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Flood outlets could be done in three years, Pallister says
THE province could build the needed outlets to lower Lake Manitoba in less than half the time the province says it needs, Opposition Leader Brian Pallister says.
But he offered few details Wednesday on how the two outlets -- one for Lake Manitoba and the other for Lake St. Martin -- could be done in three years, saying he will explain it next week.
Flood Fight
The latest news about flooding in southern Manitoba.
"When we put our minds to it as a province to protect ourselves we do it," he said a news conference, his first public comments on this summer's flooding.
He said the Lake St. Martin emergency channel, quickly built in 2011, and the Brunkild "Z" dike, built during the 1997 Red River flood, are examples of how fast the province can move.
"The fact is we showed that we could solve a problem and prevent damage quickly and expeditiously, and I think we can do that again," he said.
"The urgency is so clear that this should be treated as an emergency situation."
The province said it believes it needs about seven years to build the two permanent outlets. It says that amount of time includes design and engineering, public and First Nations consultations, regulatory approvals, land assembly and construction. The estimated cost is about $300 million.
Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton said the clock started ticking on that seven years in early 2013 with the release of two independent reviews, one which examined water levels on Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin and the other the province's handling of the 2011 flood.
The province has also said it has six options for a new outlet for Lake Manitoba and two for neighbouring Lake St. Martin.
Victims of flooding in 2011 and this summer say the province has been too slow to build the new outlet for Lake Manitoba, and blame high flows on the Portage Diversion for flooding the lake again.
Ashton said a new Lake Manitoba outlet won't open until the Lake St. Martin channel to Lake Winnipeg is operational.
Pallister also defended himself against criticism this week of his low profile during the height of this summer's flooding on the Assiniboine River.
He said over the past month he's visited areas in the Assiniboine River basin multiple times in the past month. He is to tour the Shellmouth Dam near Russell today.
"Perhaps I've been rightly criticized for not making more of deal out of having done that, but I don't think people are interested so much in photo opportunities as they are in flood prevention, and that's what I'm focused on," he said.

I pushed open the front door, hearing Darry and Sodapop inside the house over the loud creak the screen door made. They were both home early... How am I supposed to get my homework done now, with Darry nagging me to take my time and Soda begging me to throw it off?
"Hey Ponyboy! How about we go play football?" Soda's voice asked the second I stepped in. Darry gave him a stern look. They were both sitting at the table, Darry had a newspaper in front of him but it wasn't opened. Soda had a bottle of coke opened with only a bit left in it. Neither of them had bothered to put a tablecloth, either.
"No way, little man," Darry started, sounding kind of annoyed, "Ponyboy's gotta do his homework first." I could almost hear their half-joking, half-serious argument coming up. Darry'd win it, but Soda wouldn't let it go.

Sodapop chuckled from his spot on the couch. He had been quick and conquered the bathroom before Pony so he didn't have to worry about being late. It was the same every time they were going somewhere. And Darry never learned it.
"Maybe we should change his name to Ponygirl with all that time he spends in front of the mirror," joked Sodapop.

There were always many fights with them and the 'soc's', but to be honest, you never really cared who was who or why. It seemed a bit silly to single people out because they lived on a side of town. You snapped out of your thoughts as the movie screen lit up, and bounced in your seat. The film was 'Night of the Living Dead', a horror film you had been excited to see for a while.

Johnny was stretched out on the couch both boys were lost in their thoughts and the program. Johnny turned on his side; his gaze moving towards Dally's socked soles which were facing him. Starting to get bored with the program; Johnny decided to have a little fun. Johnny slowly inched his hand closer to Dally's feet; continuously keeping an eye on Dally. Just as Johnny's fingers were about to make contact with the vulnerable sole; Dallas started shifting. He brought his left foot over his right one to scratch at an itch. Johnny held his breath as Dally replaced his feet in the same position as before. Breathing a sigh of relief, Johnny went back to the task at hand.More Like This

Glazer's completes $30 million distribution center in San Antonio
- James Aldridge
- Web Editor- San Antonio Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Glazer's Inc. is set to officially open the company's new San Antonio distribution center this month.
The new distribution center, located at 1002 S. Callaghan, spans over 518,000 square feet of space and rests on 45 acres of property. It is the company's largest facility. It will become Glazer's third major hub in Texas after Dallas and Houston.
Glazer's is one of the nation's largest distributors of wine, spirits and malt beverage products. The company built the new $30 million facility in order to consolidate all of Glazer's San Antonio wine, spirits and beer distribution businesses under one roof. The center has also been equipped with energy efficient systems, such as motion sensor lighting, a chiller water cooling system, smart charging batteries for forklifts and a Durolast Rubber roof. This roofing material deflects heat and reduces building temperatures by as much as 15 to 20 degrees.
"The new San Antonio hub completes Glazer's long-term strategy of offering the best service for our suppliers and retailers throughout the Lone Star State," says Sheldon "Shelly" Stein, Glazer's President and CEO. "In addition to the San Antonio area, this facility will also serve both West and South Texas. We want to grow new business with our customers and we are now in a perfect position to serve the state of Texas."
Once the facility officially opens on Saturday, Oct. 19, it will employ a minimum of 450 people, including 261 new hires from the San Antonio area.
In related news, the new Glazer's facility in San Antonio will host the company's National Truck Safety Rodeo that day. The winning drivers from the safety challenge will qualify for cash and prizes. The top winner will win a seven-day cruise for two.

Monotron Duo Hacked for iPad Control
In the last several years, all of Korg's little hardware synths have been built to be hacker friendly. They even go so far as to release schematics for encouraging circuit exploration, allowing the community expand and improve upon the capabilities of their hardware. MATRIXSYNTH found this example from Alessandro Fasan, who worked out how to control the non-MIDI Monotron Duo from an iPad!
Video Description:
I wanted to share how I MIDI-fied my Monotron Duo from Korg. The TeensyDuino 3.1 controls a dual DAC and a dual digital potentiometer. Many thanks to Marc Nostromo for inspiring this design. I plan to share the SW with Marc Nostromo's blog, what I came up with is based on the code that he originally posted in his blog (it was for the regular Monotron).
The challenge with the Monotron Duo is that it requires two voltage controls (one for the ribbon, one for the octave), so it required some reverse-engineering from the schematics that Korg kindly made available.

Should taxpayers fund Sun Life Stadium renovations for Super Bowl spot?
- Shaun Bevan
- Digital Producer- South Florida Business Journal
- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
Does Sun Life Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins, need renovations to compete with the San Francisco 49ers' future $1.2 billion stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. and the Houston Texans' Reliant Stadium?
That's still up for debate, but the three venues are being considered as the host of the National Football League's Super Bowl in February 2016 and 2017.
The 25-year-old South Florida stadium has been home to five Super Bowls – the most recent in 2010 – two World Series, four college football national championships and numerous big-name concerts, including U2 and Madonna.
In 2010, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the stadium needed renovations in order to compete against newer venues for future Super Bowls. Upgrades would likely include a partial roof to keep fans from the rain, closer seating to the field, and high-tech screens and lighting.
The renovations could cost more than $200 million, even though the stadium has seen about $300 million in upgrades within the last decade.
Last year, the Dolphins asked for legislation that would allow counties to increase the hotel tax maximum from 6 percent to 7 percent, only to ultimately get shot down.
Broward County commissioners called the plan "vile" and "shameful," the Sun Sentinel reported in 2011.
Broward Commissioner Chip LaMarca was quoted as saying the Dolphins should "focus more on winning more than one game at home during the season instead of trying to pilfer tax dollars from our local government."
Now that the stadium is a frontrunner for a landmark Super Bowl event, tell us if you think taxpayer dollars should go toward renovations in this week's Business Pulse poll.

Business Idea Center - Billboards
Business At A Glance
Startup Costs: $10,000 - $50,000
Franchises Available? Yes
Online Operation? No
Business Overview
Billboards are one of the most competitive segments of the advertising industry, and starting a business that installs billboards and markets billboard advertising will take a lot of research and clever planning. However, with that said, the profit potential for a business that markets billboard advertising is outstanding. The billboard advertising industry works like this. A site to install a billboard is selected based on excellent street visibility and high traffic count. The owner of the building or land where the billboard is installed receives a yearly fee; the amount of money paid to the landowner is based on a percentage of the projected advertising revenues that the billboard will generate. Advertisers wishing to advertise on the billboard pay a one-time art fee to create the ad and a fee for the amount of time the ads are featured on the billboard. One billboard can generate upwards of $10,000 or more each year.Related Business Ideas

China's Latest Hit Features Hermes, Louis Vuitton, And Dior
In the recent past, it was the policy of Chinese authorities to protect home-produced movies from competition from Hollywood blockbusters. But the success of the domestic film Tiny Times, which has become China's top box-office attraction -- it has earned $57 million since June 27, beating Man of Steel for the top spot -- is likely to result in a relaxation of that policy. The Chinese state-run Xinhua news agency also noted that the film has also stirred up a cultural controversy inasmuch as it focuses on four female college students in Shanghai who live in dorms decked out with goods from Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Dior and other high-fashion outfits. (There was no indication in the article whether the producers received product-placement remuneration from those designer labels.) The ostentatious shows of luxury goods and clothing have been criticized for distorting the values of young audiences, wrote Xinhua, presumably voicing the attitude of Communist cultural officials. However, it quoted 30-year-old director Guo Jingming as saying, It is normal for people to pursue a better life and there is nothing wrong with enjoying it. Guo said that his aim is to make films that can be unique in audience's hearts and ... [remembered]. If they think it's too ordinary, it is a failure to me.

AmericasFamed food scientist Borlaug dead US geneticist Norman Borlaug, credited with developing high-yield crops, dies aged 95. 13 Sep 2009 13:17 GMT Borlaug, left, was a central figure in the Green Revolution that boosted crop output [EPA] The revolution led to the development of crops such as wheat with higher yields than traditional strains.It is also credited with helping avert hunger that had been predicted in the developing world in the last half of the 20th century. Saving lives Experts have said Borlaug's crusade to develop high-yielding, disease-resistant crops saved the lives of millions of people worldwide who otherwise may have been doomed to starvation. In a 2006 US Congressional tribute, Borlaug was described as a scientist who had "saved more lives than any other person who has ever lived".He was also praised for likely having "saved more lives in the Islamic world than any other human being in history". In 2007, Borlaug received the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honour of the US."We all eat at least three times a day in privileged nations, and yet we take food for granted," Borlaug said in a recent interview. "There has been great progress, and food is more equitably distributed. But hunger is commonplace, and famine appears all too often."In 1944, in the capacity of geneticist and plant pathologist, he was assigned the job of organising and directing the Co-operative Wheat Research and Production Programme in Mexico.This joint undertaking of the Mexican government and the Rockefeller Foundation philanthropic organisation focused upon scientific research in genetics, plant breeding and related fields that led to the Green Revolution. Borlaug also served as a distinguished professor of international agriculture at Texas A&M University, located in College Station, Texas. Source: Agencies

It is only fitting that the 20th anniversary of the Gartner Hype Cycle has the Internet of Things right at the top of the coaster.
IoT is currently at the peak of Inflated Expectations. The Gartner Hype Cycle give organizations an assessment of the maturity, business benefit and future direction of more than 2,000 technologies.
The theme for this year's Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle is Digital Business.
As you can see, being at the top really means that there is a ton of media coverage about the technology, so much so that it starts to get a little silly. Everyone is talking about it, including this author. What you can also so is the downward trend to follow. This is the trough of disillusionment.
Gamification, Mobile Health Monitoring and Big Data all fall into this area. It means that they already hit their big hype point but doesn't necessarily mean that it's over.
The slope of enlightenment shows technologies that are finally mature enough to actually have reasonable expectations about. Each of the technologies also have a time line of when it'll mature. For IoT, it looks like 5 to 10 years.
So while we're hearing all the noise about IoT now, society probably won't be fully immersed for another decade…even though we'll see gradual steps toward it over the next few years.
Once all our people, places and things are connected, you can also get a sense of what else is coming in the Innovation Trigger area. Come the 2025 time frame, things like Smart Robots, Human Augmentation and a Brain Computer Interface could be the headlines of the day. Just imagine, instead of having to type this blog out on a keyboard, I could simply (and wirelessly) connect my brain chip to the computer and just think this.
Hey, Stop reading my mind!!

Peter Silva covers security for F5's Technical Marketing Team. After working in Professional Theatre for 10 years, Peter decided to change careers. Starting out with a small VAR selling Netopia routers and the Instant Internet box, he soon became one of the first six Internet Specialists for AT&T managing customers on the original ATT WorldNet network.
Now having his Telco background he moved to Verio to focus on access, IP security along with web hosting. After losing a deal to Exodus Communications (now Savvis) for technical reasons, the customer still wanted Peter as their local SE contact so Exodus made him an offer he couldn't refuse. As only the third person hired in the Midwest, he helped Exodus grow from an executive suite to two enormous datacenters in the Chicago land area working with such customers as Ticketmaster, Rolling Stone, uBid, Orbitz, Best Buy and others.
Bringing the slightly theatrical and fairly technical together, he covers training, writing, speaking, along with overall product evangelism for F5's security line. He's also produced over 200 F5 videos and recorded over 50 audio whitepapers. Prior to joining F5, he was the Business Development Manager with Pacific Wireless Communications. He's also been in such plays as The Glass Menagerie, All's Well That Ends Well, Cinderella and others. He earned his B.S. from Marquette University, and is a certified instructor in the Wisconsin System of Vocational, Technical & Adult Education.

Amid a renewed call for reparations to be paid to the descendants of America's black slaves, Bruce A. Dixon at the Black Agenda Report notes a crucial gap between the diagnoses and prescriptions made by socially concerned journalists.
On Thursday, the Senate adopted a resolution that apologizes for the evils of slavery on behalf of the people of the United States, and "acknowledges the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery, and Jim Crow laws." The resolution does not, however, offer any form of reparation for the descendants of slaves.

In just his second NBA season, Thunder forward Serge Ibaka is on the cusp of leading the league in total blocked shots. Ibaka had 189 entering Monday's game at Sacramento, three more than Washington's JaVale McGee. In Washington's 95-94 win against Boston on Monday, McGee finished with five blocks.
Thunder notebook: Serge Ibaka on the verge of leading league in blocks
But Ibaka actually upped his lead by swatting six shots in the Thunder's 120-112 win over the Kings. Ibaka had four rejections after halftime.
Now, all Ibaka has to do is maintain his four-block lead over McGee in Wednesday's season finale against Milwaukee. The Wizards play at Cleveland on Wednesday. Orlando's Dwight Howard is third in total blocks but now trails by 10 blocks.
Ibaka won't finish the season as the block leader in per-game blocks. Bucks center Andrew Bogut has 168 blocks through 65 games, giving him a 2.58 average. Ibaka is tied with Howard for third with a 2.4 average.
Still, Ibaka has been somewhat surprised at his success.
"I wasn't thinking about leading the league," Ibaka said. "I was thinking block shots and see what happens. Blocking shots is part of my job on this team. It's something I like to do, too. I enjoy it every time when I block shots. It just comes natural."

Albion boss Sami Hyypia has hailed the quality of Andrew Crofts.
The midfielder is expected to get more game time at Peterborough today following his comeback from six months out with cruciate knee ligament damage as a late substitute at Crawley on Wednesday.
Hyypia said: "He's a quality player and I like to have quality players in the squad who are fit."
Former Peterborough loanee Crofts has a head start on midfield rival Dale Stephens.
The January signing from Charlton has not featured in pre-season after rupturing an ankle ligament against Yeovil at the Amex in April.
Hyypia has cast doubt over Stephens' availability for the start of the season.
He said: "I'm not sure, we'll have to wait and see. It's going to take a while before he is fit."
Solly March is expected to return to action in Albion's final pre-season friendly at home to Southampton on Thursday night. The England under-21 international suffered a hip bone knock at Crawley.
