The colors are very similar however all the lighter colors you have to build up the color. The light five ELF colors I had to swipe several times to get it to be dark enough to come close to the UD's Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar and Buck. The colors are very similar but again there are differences such as in Half Baked being more yellow toned than the ELF color which is more orange toned.
Smog is more rich than the ELF color and it has a better payoff than the ELF color.
Darkhorse's ELF dupe was chalky and if I took a closer pic of it you may see that it left a bit of unwanted residue from being a bit chalky.
Toasted's dupe isn't as shimmery as Toasted in one swipe but it's pretty darn close.
The last three colors - Hustle, Creep and Gunmetal - and their dupes are also pretty darn close but I think the dupe for Creep is a bit lighter while Gunmetal is a wee bit darker.
For $5 it's a fantastic dupe but be prepared to fight with the lighter colors since the color pay off in the first five are on the crappy side.

$32 per eyeshadow. Holy jeebs. Thats crazy. Thats even more than they charge here. Even after the conversion rate. They're rippin you Aussies offOriginally Posted by KeLLsTar /img/forum/go_quote.gif
To buy all those MAC dupes here in Australia it would cost $384AU ($32 per eyeshadow) so in our case it would be cheaper to just buy the UD Naked Palette from ebay or an online shop.
I'm positive that Inglot have dupes (I noticed a few when playing at the store) but I'm sorry I don't know which is which. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I love the look of that NYX palette!
awesome. ELF is keeping up with the game. It would be hard to tear myself away from my beloved UD but ELF is making a convincing argumentOriginally Posted by zadidoll /img/forum/go_quote.gif
