Last week, I posted a review and swatches of the new L'Oreal La Palette Nude 1 (see my review here) and I loved it so much, I couldn't wait to show you guys La Palette Nude 2! It has much cooler shades than Nude 1, which was mostly warmer bronze-based nudes. Let's take a look...
Just like Nude 1, this has a guide on the back of the palette with four different looks you can create.
I was surprised that this palette has mostly matte shades in it, because Nude 1 had 5 shimmer and 5 matte. Nude 2 has 3 satiny shades and 7 matte. At first glance, I was thinking that these cooler, rosy-toned nudes could make this a dupe for the Naked 3, but that has a lot of shimmer and glitter going on...and then I realized that this palette really reminds me of the Tartelette palette. More on that below...
There are 10 shades total and #1, #2, and #6 are satin/shimmers while the rest are matte.
Here are the close-ups and swatches:

Here it is next to the Naked 3...I didn't really see any dupes here. I even swatched several of the shades next to each other and a few were similar, but I didn't find any exact dupes.
Then I decided to try it next to the Tartelette palette and I could see quite a few shades that looked like dupes, especially those purple shades!
So I swatched both palettes...this is L'oreal Nude 2 in the top row and the Tartelette palette on the bottom. There were a few shades that were very close, but no exact dupes, not even the purples!
Like the Nude 1 palette, these shades are very pigmented and soft and rival any high-end palette. I'm actually glad that it's not a dupe for anything that I already have because that means I have 10 new shades to play with! This is totally worth the $15.84 I paid, so definitely check your local Walmart store (or find this on their website and use the store locator to find out which ones are carrying it). If you love cooler eyeshadow shades, especially mattes, you'll love this one! If you're into warmer shades, I recommend checking out the Nude 1!
