Coastal Scents Revealed Palette Sampler: Review and Swatches

I've been curious about the eyeshadows from companies like Coastal Scents, but have never purchased any as I'm in eyeshadow overload as it is.  However, I was excited to receive the Revealed palette sampler in my January Birchbox, as this particular palette is a near dupe for both the Naked 1 and 2 palettes from Urban Decay. 
Obviously, my little 4 pan sampler is just a fraction of the shadows available in the full sized 20 pan palette, but they should give me an idea as to the formula and quality.
Well, color me impressed!  The four I tested are richly pigmented, smooth, easy to blend, and wear well.   Factor in the $19.95 Revealed palette price and compare that to the $104 you would be spending for Naked 1 and 2, and I can see the appeal. 
OTOH, is there anyone on the planet who hasn't sprung for the Naked palettes yet?  I've only got Naked 1 myself, but that in and of itself will keep me from getting the full Revealed palette, as I'm not particularly hankering for the colors in Naked 2.
I do reserve the right to change my mind, however, and I'm glad I got to try these!
