Coastal Scents Revealed 2 | Urban Decay Naked 3 Dupe!

Hey everyone! I'm pretty excited for today's post because it can end up saving you TONS of money. When the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette came out, I thought it was just ok. Because, honestly, who would want pinkish shadows? (At least I didn't!)  So I happily passed up the whole 'hype' around the eyeshadow palette. But, after seeing SO many tutorials and realizing that my collection was missing pink and rosy toned shadows, I wanted the palette.

However, I could not justify spending $54 on an eyeshadow palette that in reality I didn't need. I began to look for dupes for the Naked 3, but the ones I found were not really dupes or still seemed pretty expensive. When I thought I gave up all hope, I randomly went on to coastalscents.com to see what was new. Lo and behold, the first thing that popped up was the Coastal Scents Revealed 2 palette! I have the first Revealed palette and they are pretty much exact dupes for Urban Decay Naked 1 and Naked 2. Not only did the colors from Revealed 2 palette seem very similar to Naked 3, but it was on sale for $9.95! That is a steal! Unfortunately, it is no longer at that price, but it does sell for $19.95 when on sale.

Coastal Scents Revealed 2 comes with 20 shadows that are shimmer, matte, and some glittery. The palette is very thin, which makes it storage effective, but has no mirror. The packaging is made out of cardboard and has a magnetic closing to keep it shut.

Below are the Revealed 2 swatches. The first 10 shadows are on top, and the second row on the bottom.

Revealed 2 Swatches

The shadows are highly pigmented and smooth. Lasting power of the shadows is excellent and stay on all day for me with an eyelid primer.

I took the liberty to number the shadows so you can see which ones correspond to the Naked 3 palette. I went to my local Ulta to swatch the Naked 3 palette as I do not own it. After swatching Naked 3 and Revealed 2, both palettes have similar textures and are both equally pigmented. There are a few shadows from Revealed 2 that are actually more pigmented then Naked 3.

Although some of the Revealed 2 shadows are not precisely the same shade as the Naked 3 ones, they are very close and I would definitely call them dupes! I definitely recommend checking out the Coastal Scents Revealed 2 before purchasing Urban Decay Naked 3. Not only are the shadows very similar, but you get to save $34. I am highly satisfied and no longer desire to have Naked 3 since these are pretty much the same.
