Thank you so much! I love to make people smile or laugh, so it really does feel like the biggest compliment whenever anyone says I'm funny! ❤❤ I hope that you are having a good December!!
You did amazing 🎉 ❤ I completely understand about the ER "Light in your eyes" palette. Whenever I get a new palette (or even some makeup) my husband is always like, "Why don't you go ahead and open it?" But, I have to be able to sit down, open it, appreciate it, and swatch it! It's not only relaxing but it gives me a moment of peace and something for myself (I am sure busy moms get it 😉). It's good to refresh your collection too. Helps you realize what you have and like, and don't use. 😊
When you have 200 palettes, there are going to be some neglected palettes. That is just math. You do those projects where you have to use each shade & pan that palette. That takes time. You couldn’t even use each palette twice, if you rotated a different one every day. I am the same way with books. I have so many, either electronic or physical. Yet, I want more. We love what we love.❤️
Thank you for pointing this out! I have 50+ palettes, so I'm only going to be able to use each an average of 6 times a year if I rotate them. I choose not to pan because I'd rather get even use out of them all than to focus on one. That's totally fine to do either - focus on one or rotate evenly. But I hope people with a lot of makeup will always be real with themselves. If you pan, most of your stuff will sit unused. If you rotate, you'll probably never pan anything. Maybe that seems obvious, but it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that somehow, panning will facilitate getting good use out of everything.
I think I have 60 palettes and like, 600 books. With my palettes, I think I'll be happy with what I have and can live off thise palettes after I buy like seven more nomad palettes that I must have. With books, I'll never stop reading and buying. Each book means something special to me.
Eyeshadow is one of the hardest to declutter, that and blush. I have so many unused in my collection but I'm always like well I might need the light purple in this one ( I do not ever need😂) so I keep it. I have no idea what my numbers look like I haven't done inventory since mid year 😮 maybe I'll plan that soon😂. I know it is a crazy amount of makeup either way.
I've been working on being less Type A about my palettes. I even wrote the palette name and number on the back of each ND midi shadow! This video has inspired me to mix up the shades and make my palettes more me! Now I love them and look forward to using them more. Viseart is next❤ Great declutter😊
video idea: Can you give some tips on how to pick eyeshadows to best compliment your outfit. What comes first, Beauty or Fashion?? Do I match my shirt or my eyes? so many OCD manic questions in my head. Just another Manic Monday....
Great questions! I would love to do maybe a get ready with me and show/answer these! I will say for me I usually do my beauty first and then match my outfit, unless I have an event and a very specific outfit in mind! ❤❤
If you have Yucca and the Cosmic Brushes one, you don’t need Nomad O… Safari. I decluttered it. But Ghost Town, Polar Express, and Chicago are OUTSTANDING!
I always like the idea of moving shades I like to one palette and declutter the other.... but I like my palettes to be "correct" and can't do it. 😂 Okay, back to the video...
I don't disagree with that. I seriously sat there after this video and while editing, and was like... I regret the Patricka Ta thing and almost threw out the new palette I created, haha! ❤❤ But I'm going to give it a chance and see how it goes!
@itsjustStephslife In reality, we all should be doing it lol. We all have our own variations of our perfect palette. Brands are giving us the opportunity to do it. But for me... I get caught up in not wanting to change the palettes but then keep buying more and more and more LOL. I don't know.... I need to learn to be happy with what I have and stop chasing the newest "wow" palette. And make me a wow palette. 🤣🤣
I can't wait until I get to experience quality that makes me declutter my Odens eye. It is my first fancy indie purchase, and it was a mystery box. I have gotten two more mystery boxes and was and still am so excited and happy to have them.; Especially since much of my Oden's eye are holiday themed so it takes the guess work out of pulling holiday palettes. Sometimes we need not to think. lol. I am all omg better quality than oden's eye exists. hmm. Well, my last child leaves for college in the fall.... Without him to feed, perhaps, mama can finally afford the good stuff. lol😆
You mentioned not using the adept minka palette enough, I’d recommend trying it out soon! I had to declutter mine a little over a year after owning it. I guess the shimmers went bad and my eyelids got so rough and puffy that I had to declutter. It was my favorite palette at the time too, so I was devastated to throw it out 😭
You should put the Scooby Doo palette in your museum or let your daughter play with it that way you still have the lenticular cover with you for good memories ❤️
I had over-purchased eyeshadow palettes (I used to buy at least 20 palettes during Sephora sale, 8 palettes during Black Fridays and 35 Holiday/Limited Editions per year, and at least 15 drugstore palettes) and I cut this habit out in 2022 to its present day. ONE: I only buy 2 favorite brands (Natasha Denona Midi size palettes and Pat McGrath Motherships). TWO: When there's new collections I only go for purples or greens (and if the palettes got less than 50% of the colours I am after, I don't buy them, not even on a good deal). Because of the limitations I placed on myself, I literally only bought total of 9 palettes this year. Next year my goal is to set even a stricter limitations (one brand only, the colours got to be unique to my also over 200+ collection, and the maximum I can buy is 5 palettes from Jan 2025 to Dec 2025). 🎉
I want a couple of ensley reign palettes they all just look so stunning even if they are expensive I swear I will have some (or all of them who knows) of these palettes in my collection hopefully next year you’ve convinced me lol
I stirred that pot yesterday 👩🍳👩🍳👩🍳 I had sent a happy birthday text to him and he answered back! Thanks man! For thinking about me 🤣🤣 meaning he was gonna get in shit with the new head chef 😅😅
If you have Yucca and the Cosmic Brushes one, you don’t need Nomad O… Safari. I decluttered it. But Ghost Town, Polar Express, and Chicago are OUTSTANDING! And my favorite PML are the Motherships Sublime and Moonlit Seduction (I use these two together all the time), and the Interstellar Icon quad. I love cool tone neutrals and pops of blue!
Aether beauty shadows are really beautiful on the eyes. Just very flattering for every day. It’s funny I have the Supreme Nudes and never use it. It’s so pretty and I always pass it on. You really think Alter Ego is a good formula? I’m skeptical at times.
Love seeing your full collection, thanks for all the effort! This is unsolicited advice, so please ignore me if this doesn’t matter. If you want to do a tiny tweak to the word “nouveau”, it would be “noo-voh” instead of “nway-voh”. You’ve got an extensive and beautiful collection
Thank you! ❤❤ OMG I swear I get corrected on this and yet still say in wrong every time. I should right the correct way to say it on the palette somewhere for myself, haha! 😂
@itsjustStephslife I think Nueva means new in Spanish, so you were just saying new in another language. Seriously though, makeup, especially Viseart, is the only place I seem to get to use those four years of French I took in high school 😂 By the way, I love your makeup look in this video. I don't think it's too much at all. You're gorgeous always.
When you grabbed your 6 pan Nars I was all I have that...then wait I don't own anything Nars. I reached up and grabbed my LORAC PRO Matte. Goes to show that palette is repeated several times over and you made the right choice. lol. Unless Nars is the bomb diggity...
You got rid of quite a few that you had lingering and this is just my opinion but the tiny marvels is an upgraded and better version of the ABH palette with the purple. But you do you. It's fun to see what you have in your stash and honestly CP muppets and limoncello are still two that got away from me. I just purchased the earth and fire palettes from lethalxavatar since the water and air are spectacular. I am on track to finishing using all my singles 5x and that makes me happy as I culled a bunch that were redundant or I didn't like. I may also do a palette declutter and give some way to friends and family as well.
Ahh I will say I do still have my eyes on that collection from Lethal! It's so pretty! I never thought about the ABH and Tiny Marvels, but now that you point that out you are totally right! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Amanda! I am obsessed with Breaking Benj! I recently rediscovered them and they really just make me feel alive in the morning! HAHAHA ❤❤❤
Well when they get most of their palettes sent from these companies in PR for free, I guess it frees up their money to buy more! I don't like that these companies do PR for all of these youtubers! I think all people should be treated the same no matter wat n to me, it's like these youtubers mean more to them then their actual consumers do! I believe these companies think that sending these overly expensive palettes to these youtubers will make the regular consumers want to buy them but for me it's totally the opposite of that! It makes me not want to buy them! To me that shows that they think more of the youtubers than they do of us regular consumers n I don't think it's right n I do believe a lot of people feel this way but they just don't say it! I do however think that these youtubers should absolutely get things from time to time for all the work that they do but imo they should keep it to themselves! This is just how I feel about it!
I like bold eye + lip. On some people it looks much better than the old non existent lip w dramatic eyes. W your dark hair and brows it works IMO.
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
I'm 64 years old. I'm a lover of makeup since I was 13. Let me just say that I love your look. It is STUNNING. ❤❤❤
I totally agree!! I love your look..... this is sooooooo my jam!
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
OMG Thank you so much Lauren! ❤❤❤ I really appreciate that, especially because I was feeling so self conscious about this one!
I LOVE the lip and the eye . . . And HURRAY for posting every day for FIFTEEN days!
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤❤
Love your eye look
Aw, i love palette week! Love your videos, you're so enthused about makeup and funny.
Thank you so much! I love to make people smile or laugh, so it really does feel like the biggest compliment whenever anyone says I'm funny! ❤❤ I hope that you are having a good December!!
You look amazing!!! ❤❤❤
Yay a declutter!❤ I’m putting together a bedside table!
❤❤❤ I hope building it went well! I always get so mad putting furniture together haha!
@ it went very well! I was pleasantly surprised 😲
Look is good 👍
I think your look is beautiful!!❤

Great review. I’m really enjoying your channel. Thank you so much for all you do. Love from NY. ❤🦋✨
I love a declutter video❤❤❤ eyeshadow palettes are my favorite abd what i tend to buy the most lol
I couldn't agree more with this comment Danielle! ❤❤❤

Love the grey look with your blue eyes, it was mesmerising. Beautiful 😊
Thank you so much Amanda! ❤❤❤

I know I really need to! ❤❤ It is the Valentino Blush in the Shade # 3 (An upcoming purchase for me to share in my Makeup Rehab Finale 😂)
@ bought immediately 😂😍✅

First, I still love this look. Second, I’m about to post 20 things on Mercari so I appreciate the feature length video!
❤❤❤ I love it Morgan! I hope you sell through everything quickly! And I hope you had a great weekend!
I can't wait until I get to experience quality that makes me declutter my Odens eye. It is my first fancy indie purchase, and it was a mystery box. I have gotten two more mystery boxes and was and still am so excited and happy to have them.; Especially since much of my Oden's eye are holiday themed so it takes the guess work out of pulling holiday palettes.

I love the celsius can in the background. I was influenced to try them because of you and now I'm hooked!!!!
I feel bad or being the culprit of your addiction! Haha! ❤ What is your favorite flavor!?
@ the orange! Hahaha
That green shade in gloomy gardens check it against the 1 in cosmic dreamer ❤
Next year is my no buy year….Nothing! 😢😢😢😢😮😮😮
Don’t forget to tape the broken mirror in that menagerie palette💜
I stirred that pot yesterday 👩🍳👩🍳👩🍳 I had sent a happy birthday text to him and he answered back! Thanks man! For thinking about me 🤣🤣 meaning he was gonna get in shit with the new head chef 😅😅

This is unsolicited advice, so please ignore me if this doesn’t matter. If you want to do a tiny tweak to the word “nouveau”, it would be “noo-voh” instead of “nway-voh”.
You’ve got an extensive and beautiful collection
The ABH Nouveau is pronounced Noo-Voh. It means new in French
Thank you! ❤❤ OMG I swear I get corrected on this and yet still say in wrong every time. I should right the correct way to say it on the palette somewhere for myself, haha! 😂
@itsjustStephslife I think Nueva means new in Spanish, so you were just saying new in another language. Seriously though, makeup, especially Viseart, is the only place I seem to get to use those four years of French I took in high school 😂
By the way, I love your makeup look in this video. I don't think it's too much at all. You're gorgeous always.
I’m behind but I am doing a marathon to catch up
The Flower Punk palette is on Mercari and reasonably priced.
So close… First one is Subliminal, cool toned with the blue shade. Second one is Sublime, one with the green shade.
When you grabbed your 6 pan Nars I was all I have that...then wait I don't own anything Nars. I reached up and grabbed my LORAC PRO Matte. Goes to show that palette is repeated several times over and you made the right choice. lol. Unless Nars is the bomb diggity...
That is so true! It's such a basic color story! I do love NARS shadows, but this one wouldn't be what I consider my favorite

Plez giveaway for me sister
How did you afford all the ER palettes? I literally couldn’t pay my taxes if I bought all of those.
Well when they get most of their palettes sent from these companies in PR for free, I guess it frees up their money to buy more! I don't like that these companies do PR for all of these youtubers! I think all people should be treated the same no matter wat n to me, it's like these youtubers mean more to them then their actual consumers do!

PR is a simple business move, nothing more and nothing less. Also I‘m pretty sure Steph doesn‘t get Ensley Reign PR
The ABH Nouveau is pronounced NEW-VOE... it isn't new-way-vah
I was wondering what was happening! I'm like what is newayvah? What a cute flub, though.
