Makeup Revolution Iconic 2 Palette Swatches- Naked 2 Dupe!

There are a lot of palettes coming out lately that remind me of Urban Decay's Naked Palettes, but none of them have been actual dupes, matching color for color. But then, I saw Makeup Revolution Iconic palettes online and thought they looked pretty much identical. So I picked up the Iconic 2 and Iconic 3 for around $6.60 each.
If you're unfamiliar with the brand, Makeup Revolution is a UK based company that offers professional, cruelty free makeup that's affordable and high quality.

Today, I'm reviewing the Iconic 2 Palette which is very much like the Naked 2 (my fave!).
It comes in a sleek black case with a window in front. It's a bit wider than a Naked palette and the shadows are longer.



This is where I was totally wowed...when I put them side by side. The shades appear to match completely. Let's see how they swatch!
I did my swatches in groups of 4 (there are 12 shades in each palette). I paired the swatches so that the first Urban Decay shade is with the first Iconic shade, and so on. They're matched up exactly as the palettes go from left to right.

Left to Right: UD Tease, Iconic #5, UD Snakebite, Iconic #6, UD Suspect, Iconic #7, UD Pistol, Iconic #8.
Iconic shades 9-12.

Left to right: UD Verve, Iconic #9, UD YDK,  Iconic #10, UD Busted, Iconic #11, UD Blackout, Iconic #12.
So what do you think?? Would you buy the Iconic 2 instead of the Naked 2?
Most of the shades are very, very close and I will say that the pigmentation on the Iconic shades is great...they are so soft and easy to work with!
I'm so impressed by this palette, I'm going to add it to my dupes board on Pinterest, because it's the closest I've ever come to finding a dupe of the Naked palettes!

To purchase, please visit Makeup Revolution . They ship worldwide and mine took about 8 days to reach me with their regular shipping option (they also have an express option that's faster).
