New Wet N' Wild Melrose Palettes are a Naked 3 Dupe!

Last week, I posted some photos on Facebook and Instagram of a few new palettes that have just landed at Walgreens from Wet N' Wild.  I bought two of them (they were only $2 each!) and when I got them home, I realized that these rose-toned neutrals reminded me of my Naked 3 palette.  So of course I had to get my Naked 3 out and do some comparisons.  Here's what I found...

There are definitely some huge similarities!  I've posted some swatches of the closest matches below...there was one plum colored shade in one of the Wet N' Wild Palettes I couldn't find a dupe for in the Naked 3, but all the other colors had a pretty close dupe!

In the swatch photos below, the Urban Decay shades are on top with their name, and the matching Wet N' Wild shade is swatched below it.  Since the Wet N' Wild palettes don't have named shades, I've labeled them to their corresponding Urban Decay shade in the photo above.

One downside to the Wet N' Wild shadows is that it took multiple swipes to reach the same level of pigmentation as the Naked 3 swatches.  The Urban Decay shadows only needed to be swatched once, while the Wet N' Wild ones had to be built up a bit...but they are soft shadows and are easy to work with, and honestly, they were $2 for a 5-shade palette so that is a total steal! 

If you're looking for similar shades to the Naked 3 palette, I highly recommend you check these out at Walgreens before they're gone!  I took the last ones at my local store and they might be limited editions, so there's no guarantee they'll be restocked.

I'll be posting this to my Dupes Board on Pinterest also!
