Thoughts: When I first saw this on my Facebook news feed, I knew I wanted to get it. I have almost all the Naked palettes, as well as, I tend to reach for golds and brows. It was calling my name.

Here's a closer look inside.

It comes with 12 eyeshadows and a double-ended brush. Eyeshadows from left to right; Flyby, Sweet, Swarm, Amber, Keeper, Golden, Honey, Queen, Hive, Drip, Hbic, and Sting.

Here's a closer look at one of the eyeshadow, Honey.

Here's a closer look at the double-ended brush.

Here's a closer look at the smudger side.

Here's a closer look at the tapered crease side.

Here's a swatch of the first four colors on my hand from left to right; Flyby, Sweet, Swarm, and Amber.

Here's a swatch of the middle four colors on my hand from left to right; Keeper, Golden, Honey, and Queen.

Here's a swatch of the last four colors on my hand from left to right; Hive, Drip, Hbic, and Sting.

Now for looks I have done...
Look #1:

I applied Amber on the lid, and blended the crease and outer v with Keeper. I darkened the outer v with Drip.

Here's the same look at a different angle.

Here's an overall look with NARS Lipstick in Dolce Vita on the lips.

Look #2:

I applied Golden on the lid, and blended the crease and outer v with Keeper. I darkened the outer v with Drip.

Here's the same look at a different angle.

Here's an overall look with Patrick Ta Monochrome Moment Silky Lip Creme in She's Independent on the lips.

Look #3:

I applied Honey on the lids, and blended the crease and outer v with Hive. I darkened the outer v with Sting.

Here's the same look at a different angle.

Here's an overall look with Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Cocoa Bite on the lips.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the product and there's no scent whatsoever. Secondly, the packaging is nice. To be honest, it's not my favorite from the Naked palettes but it's a decent one. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick plastic. I hardly see any finger prints on the top of the palette. I do see finger prints on the bottom though. Since I barely see the bottom, it doesn't bother me. The top is also sturdy. There's a magnetic pull, as well as, a clicking noise when you open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse and bag. It's also easy to hold with one hand. It comes with a mirror and takes the inner, top half. I like that it's the full-size instead of part of it. It makes it easier to use instead of getting closer to see the eye makeup. It also comes with a double-ended brush. I cannot say much about the brush since I did not use it. From the looks and feel, it looks like a decent brush. Third, the consistency is buttery soft. I have to say the mattes are softer than the metallic. It feel smooth in-between the fingers. The metallic you can feel so grit but it's on the soft side. Even though it's soft, it's compacted. I barely see any loose powder inside the palette. With that said, it's easy to use. I just use my brushes to apply onto the eyes. It's easy to grab with the brushes and apply onto the skin. It blends well and doesn't look like one color on the lids. You can see the transition of colors from one to next. I love that the palette comes with both matte and metallic. I love shiny eyeshadows on the lids and blending it out with mattes. This has everything you can ask for in one palette. You have metallic to apply onto the lid, matte to blend, and a highlight color under the brow. The highlight color is bright and it stands out. It's a good color and probably one of the best I have seen. Fourth, the colors are pretty. It's on the warm side which is what I tend to reach for. I like my neutral colors but this is mostly orange to gold side. It makes sense with the name Honey. Even though I like the colors, it's not something I would reach for in daily basis. With that said, would I say the colors are unique? Not really. I think you can find similar colors in other brands. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. I wouldn't say it's the most pigmented. One layer is good enough for my skin tone. Lastly, it lasts all day. I did not see any smudging or fading. It looked good at the end of the day as I applied. Then again I have dry skin. Most product lasts all day on me. I'm glad I got this product. It's pretty and something I can see myself use. It just wouldn't be in daily basis, but I think I could live without this palette. It just did not blow me away.

Pros:
* No scent whatsoever.
* Nice packaging.
* Well-made and sturdy packaging.
