The Roen palettes are special and I think you should hang on to them. Try them in the late summer with a bronzed look. If you can’t like it then, you know you’re over the textured eye. I suspect the low impact eyeshadow looks have distracted you.
I think you might be right, Catherine. The Roen palettes are really special and I’ve enjoyed them for so long. It would be a shame to declutter them just because I am going through a “phase”, especially when that phase might be over by the end of the season.
So glad to have "stumbled" upon you channel, pun totally unintended 🤣. I am with you, we should start a Lancome quint appreciation movement. That formula is SO good! I remain very curious about the creme formula from Tom Ford.
I’m so happy to meet a fellow Lancôme quint fan! The formula really is so good. The Tom Ford creme formula, although different reminds me a little of the lancôme quints. Maybe that’s why I like them so much. 😂
The first eyeshadow palette I ever bought as an adult was a lancome one. I bought it a dept. store because the MAC employees were too busy chatting to wait on me and I got annoyed. I loved it. I had it for years, more than a decade when it finally got decluttered. The only annoying thing about them is the uniform packaging. Having more than one is confusing.
Lancôme really is underrated. I agree with you though - the uniform packaging can be a bit annoying if you have more than one. Luckily the powders inside make up for it. 😉
Yes, it's better if they have a clear lid, or the box is the colour of the theme of the shadows...or the colours on top or bottom of the box...there's nothing worse than going through 8 black boxes to find the right colours!!😊
You have a great collection! And your Roen eyeshadows are beautiful! I’ve always wanted one, but then my profession does not encourage glittery lids, and my few Pat McGrath items are all the glitter I’ll ever need. I always find it hard to part with make up, especially eyeshadow.. but the recount of the collection is still useful. The closest I’ve done of a big declutter was depotting my eyeshadow quads and organising them into big palettes. Helped me be a bit more judicious with my purchases as more aware of all the colours I have. Playing with makeup is like being a child again. And that… is a story for another time ☺️
Thank you! Roen shadows are really special, but so are the ones from Pat McGrath - just in different ways. Parting with makeup is quite difficult, but it’s getting easier as I strengthen my decluttering muscles. And going through my things is definitely confirming that I don’t need to buy anymore. You’re right! Playing with it really does make me feel like a kid again! 🥳
Another very thoughtful declutter! I loved seeing all of your Tom Ford quads!! That’s one formula I would LOVE to try at some point! There are so many beautiful options!! Thank you for all of the beautiful swatches too! 🤟🏻❤️
Thanks, Kyra! Tom Ford definitely makes some nice eyeshadows that are worth a swatch session if you ever happen to be in a fancy department store. But ultimately: they are just dirt. I always have to remind myself of that. 😂
@@TheStyleStumbler i do think is more impactful and glittery but definitely the same shade and I would love to buy the Melt colour for a more daytime look but it’s available here in the EU😊
Ohhhh eyeshadows 😮Love watching decluterings , I love eyeshadows 🎉 Just started watching, im curious how is gonna go 😊 ❤❤ LOVE FROM GREECE 🇬🇷 MY BEAUTIFUL Stephanie 🎉🎉❤
I like my roen palettes, but other than most I never wear them in the summer. I would therefore think about the occasions where you did reach for them and if this is just temporary not happening like with my seasonal taste..
This is definitely a meaty part of your declutter. I think similar to having a separate makeup kit for the stage, it makes sense to have some sort of reference kit for when you make these videos that way you're not just relying on memory. But I would only suggest doing it if you have firm idea of how you want that reference kit to function and if it fits in your container/storage strategy. One of the main themes in discussing your collection is nostalgia. It's nice to have so many totems to remind you of fun shopping trips with your mom of fun holidays with family. and if that sense makes you gravitate toward using certain palettes for live in those memories that's awesome. The flip side of that nostalgia bug is keeping something just because it was a gift. In my own experience I've seen how that can lead to forced usage or lack of enjoyment because the nostalgia turns to a burden. So as long as you keep that in mind and can watch for it on the horizon, enjoy the happiness of playing in memories. Apropos of nothing, the swatches in this video are amazing. Especially with the olivey brown colors you were all excited about, the swatches and how you move your hand on camera really show the depth and movent of the color and give me the best sense yet of how makeup can look different from being in the packaging to being applied. It's like you opened a stuck door in my brain. Generally, The highlight of the video is hearing the enthusiasm and excitement in your voice as you talked about everything. It's why I'm happy to follow you on this journey. I was also thinking about all the palettes you noted you got as gifts. It seems like your family really knows how to shop for you and get you the right things that you will get max enjoyment out of. It also makes me think about the effort I put in when I gift people things in the hopes that they'll enjoy what I've given them.
Thanks for the feedback on the swatches, Zach! I’m so glad they were able to clearly show the difference between the pan and how they look applied. Yes, you’re right. There will need to be a system behind my reference box. I’m still trying to clarify the details, but I’m using a shoebox, so at least the “space” parameter has been defined. As for nostalgia, it can definitely be a double-edged sword. I think I’m finding it easier to see the tipping point - the more I declutter, the more clarity I find. So I’m hoping I’ll find it easier to say goodbye to any beautiful things that wear out their welcome. As for the gifts: I can only hope that I am as good a gift giver as some of my friends and family, because they have really been good to me. Gift giving is an amazing talent that I’ve been trying to cultivate. I have a feeling your ability to listen to others must make you a great gift giver. It was lovely to hear from you, Zach! Thanks for giving me the gift of such thoughtful responses all these years!
@@TheStyleStumbler If you've at least got a box for your reference kit, That's a good start. It's good that you've got the clarity to see the tipping point with nostalgia. I know I have a hard time seeing it with some things I have, but I'm sure it will come in time. I'd like to think I'm a good gift giver. I try to pay attention to people to pick up on hints and come up with ideas that will be appreciated. Although I worry I may have set the bar for myself too high with my sister in law. Now I feel like there's a level of expectation and I have to keep upping my game. I'm worried at some point I'll come up short. But time will tell. I can only hope my responses have paid back the enjoyment I've gotten from watching your videos. 😁😁
Great collection. Why would you even consider decluttering a quad you really like? Unless you have no room for them, I say keep them. Any time I hear someone say there’s something special about some colors, I’d keep them. I agree about the CT supernudes. It is my always take traveling with me palette as a base. Also it would be great if you always mentioned the palette color in case there’s one we want to look for. I was wondering if g about the ND mini with the pretty middle sparkly shade. Thanks
Thank you! That's a great question. If I really like something and use it often (or for specific reasons) then of course I'll keep it. But if I really like something and realize that I'm not using it anymore, I'd rather it go to someone who will get use out of it before it expires instead of it simply "rotting" in my drawer. Especially cream products, since they tend to go off much faster than powders. But I ultimately kept the Roen palettes (if this is just a brief phase I'm going through it would be a shame to declutter them prematurely). Thanks for the tip - I'll try to remember to mention the names the next time I film a declutter. The ND mini with the pretty middle sparkly shade was the Mini Star Palette.
Wow, you have a LOT of eyeshadows😂 And I'm here for it😍 I've always wanted to try eyeshadows from roen, but I can't get them here in Norway. They look stunning! I hope you decide to keep them❤❤❤
Yes - I definitely have waaaaayyyyyyyyy more eyeshadow than any one face needs. Getting Roen is also hard in Germany - I had to pick these up on my travels. I did decide to keep them. I have a feeling I’m just going through a phase right now. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It was helpful to hear so many people say that I should keep them.
Can you swatch the taupe and brown shade of the magical voyage palette? It looks exquisite in the camera. Please look for a dupe of it in your collection as well 😊
I’m traveling at the moment, but I can tell you that the Magic Voyage palette creates very similar looks to Tom Ford’s Nude Dip (the TF formula is shinier) and Lancome French Nude (more blurring than Magic Voyage, and the French nude lacks the black shade) I hope that helps!
I decluttered my Roen quads not long after I got them. It just wasn't a formula for me. But if you've loved them so far, I don't see the harm in hanging onto them a bit longer.
I don't understand when people do declutters and sort by brand. They need to be sorted by color, so you aren't keeping duplicates. You can also see holes in your collection and where you over buy.
I see your point - if avoiding duplicates had been my priority I probably would have done it that way. But considering that I’ve spent the last two years comparing and decluttering similar color stories in my “Panning for Gold” series, it made more sense to focus more on formula and texture here. And since brands often have similar formulas, it made more sense to group them that way. Everyone has different priorities for their collections and declutters, so that affects the way we each sort things.
Not to be an enabler, but I depotted the gunmetal MELT Stack with no problem. As long as you heat the bottom, the shadows pop out easily.
Ooooo - thank you for that info! Now that I know they pop out easily, I think it’s definitely worth saving that one shadow.
The Roen palettes are special and I think you should hang on to them. Try them in the late summer with a bronzed look. If you can’t like it then, you know you’re over the textured eye. I suspect the low impact eyeshadow looks have distracted you.
