When L'Oreal released their'La Palette Nude' the budget nude game was instantly on and since then a few brands have followed with their nude offerings... Everyone loves a good nude palette and the more the merrier I say! The L'Oreal palette isn't cheap though at around £15 so it's nice to see some under £10 options.
Model's Own and Collection have both brought out some new palettes that I think will go down really well. Model's Own, the pricier option is £8 and is the 'nude' to it's 'smokey' sister. Inside you get six shades, one matte highlight, one light shimmer, a medium taupe, a gorgeous copper shimmer and two quite deep smokey browns. The shadows are great quality, really intense and the packaging is substantial using airtight pots to keep the shadows in creamy condition.
Collection have three new palettes out, a nude, a nude bronze and a grey - my favourite being the Nude Bronze. These palettes are just £3.99 (!!!) and also come with six shades. The packaging is not as good in it's lightweight cardboard but the product inside is brilliant. There's only one too light to use shade and all the others are really wearable. This palette reminds me of the Naked 1, especially the half baked dupe in the middle. The shadows are so pigmented that I actually have to take some product off on the back of my hand before applying.
My favourite out of the two is the one by Collection, I think they've done an amazing job for such an affordable price. So if you're after a neutral palette try your local 'drugstore' first - you may be surprised!
