Is The Urban Decay Naked Vault Worth It?

Remember when we told you that the Urban Decay Naked Vault is being released in the UK on November 1? Ah-mazing news: it's coming to the U.S. a day earlier. (Take that, Londoners. You already get the cool accents.)

The makeup mega-kit will be available at Sephora in stores and online as well as on urbandecay.com starting October 30. There are 12 items in the set, and it'll run you $280, but the million dollar question (or, the $280 question, rather) is: is it really worth it? Here's a breakdown of what the Naked Vault includes and what the items cost indicidually:

• Naked Eye Shadow Palette: $54
• Naked2 Eye Shadow Palette: $54
• Naked3 Eye Shadow Palette: $54
• 24/7 Glide-On Double Ended Eye Pencil in Darkside/Blackheart: $16
• 24/7 Glide-On Double Ended Eye Pencil in Zero/Whiskey: $16
• 24/7 Glide-On Double Ended Eye Pencil in Perversion/Pistol: $16
• Naked Ultra Nourishing Lip Gloss in Nooner: $20
• Naked Ultra Nourishing Lip Gloss in Rule34: $20
• Naked Ultra Nourishing Lip Gloss in Streak: $20
• Naked Flushed Compact in Naked: $30
• Naked Flushed Compact in Native: $30
• Naked Flushed Compact in Streak: $30

The grand total for the 12 individual items: $360. So the Naked Vault is saving you $80, which is just over a 22 percent discount. If you are drooling over this beauty lover's dream kit, it may not be a bad idea to print this page out and conveniently leave it for the best gift-giver you know to find right before the holidays. After all, it's not what you spend, it's what you save, right? I have to admit, though, I might have a hard time shelling out $280 when I already own one of the eye shadow palettes (Naked2, obvi), even though buying the set would still save me some cash if I were going to buy the other 11 pieces.

But look how pretty! Friends, if you're reading this and you get a Naked2 palette for Christmas, well, it's still the thought that counts (even if it was a part of this set.)
