Heaven & earth vs undressed

Friday, 13 July 2012

Ever since I bought my heaven and earth palette I have been in love with the quality, price and pigment of the eye shadows. When I started to see little reviews of a newbie in town, the undressed palette, I just knew I had to get it!

Both palettes costs the same price at just a tiny £4, contain twelve eye shadows and are both neutral nude palettes. However there are some differences between the two.


heaven and earth                                                                     undressed

The heaven and earth palette is a much more warmer palette, whereas undressed is much more cooler toned. Undressed consists of 9 shimmer shades and 3 matt shades, whereas heaven and earth is purely all shimmer shades.

What stood out to me the most about the undressed palette is the two blue toned shadows which compliment each other really well. Another thing which made me see these two palettes as completely different is the rosey gold toned shadows in the undressed palette.

As you can see from the swatches all of the heaven and earth palette is super pigmented. However, I've found with undressed that the matt shades (shades 1, 3 and 5) aren't that pigmented, especially shade 1. However, the shimmer shades are really pigmented 


Overall I think both palettes contain some similarities but mainly are quite different from each other. I guess it's up to you what you think about the two palettes, but I love them equally and shades from each palette can be mixed and matched however you choose!

    1. they are really similar, especially the undressed palette! but it's great if you can't afford them, id end up hitting the pan too quickly so these are great cheap alternatives :)

      aww thank you lovely :)

  6. I own both, and I love both of them. I also notice that MUA palettes have longer staying power than UD Naked palettes, not sure why is that. They don't crease on my eyes as badly as the UD one during summer.

    I'm actually going to Poland, nothing exciting as I go there every year, but I can't wait. xx
