Coastal Scents Haul & UD Naked Dupes!

My dear friend (yes, the same one for whom I was the Bride of Honour here, here and here), recently returned from USA and I'm so happy! Well, I am happy that she's back here.... And I'm also happy on what she got me from there... 

You might have seen my Wishlist and one among it is the Coastal Scents 88 shimmer palette. Sadly, the shipping cost to India was costlier than the palette itself, so when my friend went to US for a few months, I ordered it to be delivered to her address and she got it for me back to India!!! Yippee, I'm so so happy!!!!! So what all did I order? 

I wanted to buy the 88 shimmer palette, but they had come up with the 252 Ultimate palette recently, so I got that instead.

Yeah, the UD Naked Palette has been in my wish list for long and as a dupe, I got the Mirage palette. Well, the Warm Palette is considered more as a dupe of UD Naked, but more than half the colors of Warm Palette were too pale for my skintone. So I opted for the Mirage Palette, which also has similar colors, with lesser pale tones.

But the Mirage Palette did miss a few golds present in the UD Naked, so I opted to buy 2 hotpots - one is the Golden Buttercup and another is Pure Bronze. Now, I don't miss the Naked Palette much!!! :)

Since I got the Mirage palette for the browns and n*des, I opted to choose the pinks in the Go Palette. Here's Go Palette Beijing. 
All the palettes were in sturdy black plastic cases.  The Go Palette has a back that stands on its own while the other 2 don't. The Mirage Palette has 2 sponge applicators while the rest 2 don't. The Go Palette and Mirage Palette have a mirror. So, that's my haul!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!

 

With that said, here's some dupes for UD Naked Palette. All these dupes have a perfect mix of mattes and shimmers similar to the original... If you're very fair, you can opt for CS Warm Palette. If you're wheatish or darker, I'd suggest what I did. Another option is the CS Go Palette in Cairo. Closest I've even seen of UD Naked is MUA Palette in Undressed (Priced at 4 GBP). 

  

Next best is Born Pretty 18 color palette. This Born Pretty Store palette is $14.40. But you can get it for $12.9 (10% off) using the code EML91 and you get worldwide free shipping too!!! And there's more, there's the Valentine's Day offer going on right now at bornpretty store and you get a crystal ring as free gift with all orders!!!
