Product Rave: Urban Decay Naked Palette

I'm a big fan of make-up even though I only really wear it when I'm going out (which I haven't been doing much of lately, lol). I've been reading about Urban Decay's Naked Palette on The Nest's Fashion & Beauty board for over a month & after dozens of posts about how awesome it is, I decided to splurge. I never thought I'd have the guts to spend $44 on a eyeshadow palette but the Naked palette has 12 neutrals & one Urban Decay eyeshadow runs for $18. I read that the palette is sold out almost everywhere so when I found the LAST one at ULTA yesterday, I had to have it.

I'm SO glad I did! It truly is as AMAZING as the ladies on the Fashion & Beauty boards have mentioned. The colors are hyper-pigmented so it doesn't take much to get the colors to pop. Not only is there a mix of neutrals but they vary from matte to shimmer to glitter AND it comes with a duo eyeliner pencil AND Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion to keep the shadows from smudging or creasing. A-MA-ZING.

So far, I've tried two different looks from YouTube tutorials (YouTube has changed my life when it comes to make up!)
I used this one last night when I went out for drinks with some girlfriends:

And then this one today for brunch. I've NEVER worn this much make up during the day but Serg assured me it looked fine:

Not going to lie, the options with this palette are motivating me to go out more often in this freezing cold weather! Where do you get your make up inspiration?
