Two things, first, your only 34. You cannot be feeling older yet. Give it another ten years, then allow yourself to feel a bit older. Secondly, we go through these two trends every few years, everyone loved neutrals, then everyone loved colors, now everyone loves neutrals again. The only difference is for some reason when we are in the neutral phase, Influencers seem to get rid of all their colorful palettes. Until a few more years pass and then it’s back to buying colorful eyeshadow’s again. Thirdly, where and how often is everyone traveling that they need to save so many palettes to do so? One or 2 I understand but some Influencers save like 10 palettes for traveling. Someone tell me, where is everyone going so many times a year? 😂. Thanks for sharing your collection and declutter with us. 😊

@@purpleivy9174 neutral palettes have always been my number 1. Always!!!! Being boring with my makeup is the most honest version of myself. But, as a working, divorced mum to a toddler and a pup…. Im not pulling out my color palettes to do a cut crease. I don’t party. I feel tired. My skin has changed since I turned 32. I see it in the skincare items that work for me now and the base makeup. It’s not the same anymore. My old products don’t wear the way the used to. And especially filming and putting myself on camera I notice it in High Definition! 😩 I could have easily decluttered more, but palettes can be a sentimental thing! I’m a hobbyist and makeup lover first and foremost! Influencer…. I dunno I’m still a micro channel but I would consider it a part time gig hahaha. I love having choices still and trying new formulas. As long as you don’t bankrupt yourself, it’s ok if you want a large collection or a small one. I’d rather have 100 neutral palettes than 20 colorful ones. But having the freedom to choose is what’s most important. And maybe it’s the case that when colorful palettes are trending, the market and customers follow?! But that’s ok. My makeup collection grows and downsizes depending on my preferences. My collection often reflects me as a person. After my divorce I stopped wearing makeup. My hair kept falling out. So skincare and hair care are currently important to me. I barely use my palettes and that makes me sad. I rather see them go to makeup lovers that will use them and adore them. I’m happy people like my declutter though! I think it won’t be my last palette declutter for 2024. I know it can be upsetting to see the palettes go. But I truly believe they are going to makeup loving homes ❤️ better than collecting dust in my drawer.

Great review. I totally want to try this foundation but I have so...many....foundations. I'd have to actually use something up. Probably the Westman Atelier stick foundation. I really am craving a full face of Dior for some reason. I've been loving the two eyeshadow palettes I have, and I have that same blush that you tried today. I didn't pick up any of the recent palettes...waiting for something unique! Anyway, thanks as always Sonia.

Ugh I know that feeling of just having too much. I was going to repurchase my WA foundation. But I decided I will play with this one first. I like that this can be sheer like a Tint and a concealer like the WA. I also think I own enough to make a full face of dior and I totally agree. Dior has fun products, some really enjoyable! I'm the perfect customer for these products!

Hi ! Thanks for the review, I have watching some about this new launch from CD since I am quite interested in 😉 In the face palette do you find that the highlighter is a little bit on the glittery side ( it is the main complain) ? And also do you think that the formula on the contour and foundation stick are the same ? If so maybe it could be interesting to just pick up a darker shade in the foundation stick to use as the contour/bronzer since the shade range is quite limited in the contour stick 🤔
@sonia.butler8 күн бұрын
Yeh I find the formulas very similar. Acted the same as well. The contour swatch was harder to come off though so I do think it will be higher in pigment. The highlighter was not glittery at all. Seriously the type of highlighter I enjoy. I love this launch as well btw. I'm impressed with the Forever line in general

Love Victoria Beckham beauty, but I was shocked when I saw the packaging, seems very flimsy compared to her other lipsticks, tint, and glosses? Also, hate you can't retract the balm down & quite pricey for the amount given its a balm. I will still probably try at some point as I am a sucker for a purple undertone like Cassis, especially for the fall/winter. Thanks for reviewing!

Nooo packaging is heavy and not flimsy. It's the same material as her vast lash mascara, her brow gel. It's heavy! Especially coz I was used to the plastic by Mac or MBM. I do agree... I don't like the ones that you can't retract down. This formula seems quite stiff so I am not sure if it is necessary. It's also pricey per gram indeed. I let it slide coz I know that's VBB in a nutshell. Pricey but often good!

Yes thinner in texture. Candy glaze is a bit thicker. But it's too soon to tell a favorite. Candy glaze I have been using for weeks. The VBB I own for 1 day.
