[@elisepeachey1633]

Woo! What a mammoth effort! Well done Sam!

[@StaciLeaBeauty]

You did such a great job at getting through them quickly yet still giving good info on each. I feel like I have a better idea of how each palette performs.

Giiirrrrllll that’s like trying a new palette every 5 days! 🤯

[@sarahroot3650]

Haha I haven't heard anyone use the word "bonehead" in forever, I'm going to call my husband one later.. Great video!!

[@claudial4141]

I like how you don’t doubt there will be an opportunity! 😂

[@Zxyi12345bhhu]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@cynthiafisher3392]

Outstanding video!! We need to all hound Natasha to get you on her PR list!!

[@naruhina912]

I just told myself no more eye shadow palettes, why does this video make me want to buy so many? Good thing I have a birthday next month :) Great video Samantha!

[@veez8832]

Lol. I was soooo surprised by how low you ranked the mini retro! 🙀 It‘s my fav in my whole collection. I hope she comes out with a midi retro in 2021.

[@SymphonicPoem]

The 2019 version of this video was the first of yours that I saw and what made me subscribe, so this one is even more special. Happy "anniversary" to us lol 🥂

[@dbcakes]

I found a lot of smaller creators this year... Tho can't really put you on that shelf anymore (that's a yay moment, don't be shy abt that growth and that number!! 🎉🎉🎉)... And finding you and all of your gracious shares of other channels and other REALLY REALLY GOOD PEOPLE, really expanded my "guru" horizons this year which was so appreciated in light of quarantine days... I've really enjoyed your expansion and growth and I DO enjoy you going outta that box and comfort zone, girl!! Thank you for a great year! Now, sidenote... Can't choose a fave palette per se... But I did find Kaleidos this year and purchased from JDGlow for the first time... My absolute fave brands of the year right there!! ❤️😍🥰😁

[@jeanylowe399]

Okay everyone, let’s make 100,000 views for Samantha once again. Also, how many of you out there were counting to see just how many of Samantha’s palettes that she mentioned that you actually had and were surprised by the number? My favorite palettes were Too Faced Pumpkin Spice and BH Cosmetics Naughty and Nice palettes.

[@sandybowers5085]

Love the Naughty by BH❣️❣️❣️

[@brendadawson4912]

Whew! That was A LOT of work Sam!! And you had to do it twice? Omg!! Thank you for your input girl! Much love and Happy New Year!! Hugs, Brenda💄😂

[@kathrynrady8028]

Mercury Retrograde was a palette that I picked up this year and probably was my favorite of the year!

[@swatchsea]

So glad I tried Natasha Denona in 2020, no regrets!

[@showtiehawj133]

Thank you for taking the time to rank so many!

[@emilyrae6479]

Wow full-circle moment for me as I found your channel last year through your "Ranking All the Palettes I Tried in 2019" Now I watch every video you come out with and find you so genuine and entertaining to watch!

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

thank you emily!

[@shawnaburke8946]

You did such a great job ranking them!!! Loved hearing why you ranked them where you did! I just got my first Sigma order today and I can’t wait to play with my new palettes today!!!

[@ebbazeke91]

Sigma is definitely on my need to try- list for 2021 😍

[@SuperStarr817]

Colourpop wise, agreed on That's Taupe being high, it was the first palette of theirs this year that got me back in. Plus The Child was super cute. My favourite palettes this year overall were my Melt palettes (Rust, She's in Parties, and The Waiting Room), Give Me Glow Grunge (not new, but new to me), and Ace Beaute Flair (older but best grungey rainbow).

[@abidavies154]

I'm so tempted by the flair palette but I hear such mixed reviews on their formula!

[@javig688]

Natasha should put you in the PR list for sure Sam 🤣🤣 I’ve been in your channel just for a few months, and I already knew the Love palette was going to rank in your top 3 🤭 I want to try out her formula so bad!! Also the RBK At forest sight palette!! 😆

[@megancoady3081]

Loveeeed this video and thank you so much for taking the time to do it. Can’t imagine the work involved in the whole thing. I’m team “add Sam to ND PR list”! 😂🥰

[@nicolelevine1121]

Outstanding video !!!! Enjoyed every second of it!!! Great way to start 2021💜❤️❤️❤️

[@pwrpuffgrrl36]

Hope this one goes viral for you !! I can’t wait to watch this !!!

[@LisaShankk]

I love the fact that you mentioned Heather Austin a smaller channel that for sure deserves way more subscribers than she has. I just love Heather I watch every video she puts out and her love for makeup definitely shows through in every video especially eyeshadow! Thanks for all the info so glad you reached over a hundred K this year you deserved it.

[@courtneycullen6289]

YAY! I've been waiting for this one! I think I've watched last year's twice. Possibly three times. Don't come for me (clearly also watching a lot of Angelica).

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

hehe!!

[@angiesmith6782]

I knew the love palette would be your #1👏👏Your excitement always shows so much! I’m gonna have the hubby grab this one for me ASAP, I’m worried I’m gonna miss out!! The ELF palettes are just amazing, they get me every time I use them😂😂Happy 2021 Sam #SamSquad

[@connieluo7437]

I really like when creaters include all the palettes of the year and not just the top 10, because it helps with my purchasing decisions and I wouldn't mind listening to you longer Sam!

[@Jennifer_Ann]

I’ve watched this more than one time. I just love eyeshadow rankings 😍

[@brennagriggs7402]

Absolutely LOVE you look today!! It’s so stunning on you! 💕💕💕

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

thank you!

[@DeboraWaller]

I've only just recently received the Colourpop the Child palette (in the restock) but I already love it 💚 Other faves are That's Taupe, Natasha Denona Glam and the Persona Identity palette - the restock with the new packaging - I hadn't heard of it until this year and it's sooo good! I'm curious to try Sigma Beauty and Pat McGrath this year ☺️

[@TaraInman2023]

Amazing video girl you powered through! 🎉🎉

[@mollykelly1631]

Awww...my first Samantha March video was your ranking of your 2019 palettes. Love you!!!

[@Finding.lifes.beauty]

DAMN GIRL!!! how you did this is amazing!! haha well done!! and filmed TWICE!!???!! I want the love palette SO much!! its been on my list forever it feels like!!

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

it was a feat 😬

[@LauraCristinax]

You have convinced me that I need the ND love palette! I love these types of videos. This makes me want to make a ranking video myself!

[@LC-jc3vg]

I discovered your channel from your ranking video last year. You've definitely made 2020 better, happy new year🥳

[@sairalee8916]

Loved seeing your selection of palettes from 2020! I can't believe there were so many eyeshadow palette releases last year. I got quite a few which I absolutely love - the Natasha Denona Glam and Love Palettes, the Makeup Geek Matrix Palettes, the Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette and the BPerfect Carnival III Love Tahiti Palette.

[@ashleykelly7805]

Great video!! Ugh I’ve been thinking about the Love palette since it released! Hoping she comes out with a mini this Valentine’s Day! 😊 my fav palette this year turned into my all time fav, the CT Easy Eye Darling palette. 😊

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

thank you Ashley!

[@ashleybeimford7177]

I appreciate the pace you’re going through these! I’m not all the way through the video yet, but your comments are succinct but helpful. Your content is always so informative! Happy new year!

[@tanyarolfe2507]

Wow! There were so many great options this year. Thank you for making sense of it all! I did love the BH Naughty pallet, and have so many of the options you mentioned as well. 2021 goal is to finally splurge on ND.

[@JSapproved]

my favourite eyeshadow palette of the year is definitely the “wild nothing” palette from colourpop!! 🌵 excited to see yours!

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

🥰🥰🥰

[@fluteteachermarcie6283]

It’s one of mine too! I wish that one or two of the shimmers had been replaced by another matte, but the shades are totally my jam!

[@maggie_maeve]

I love it too, but it doesn’t seem to get the best reviews.

[@courtneysmith3322]

Loved this video! Surprised by some, others were right were I thought they would be But I NEED a tutorial on your gorgeous hair!!! Seriously, too cute, Sam Love you girl 💚💚💚 Be safe 😷

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

thank you Courtney!

[@shaynaleann1054]

Dang how long did this take lol, So awesome!😊😍 Ur ranking videos are the best!😀💗

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

about 3 hours filming.... around 6 for editing 😅

[@janelles5444]

Loved this video. Thanks for all the time and work you put into it. Here’s hoping it does BETTER than last years because you deserve all the love!

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

thank you!

[@EnglishProfStyle]

These ranking videos are my favorite! I don't know why, but they are so satisfying!

[@andreabelec7852]

You look beautiful! Your skin looks great. I adore these ranking videos. It’s fun to see where the palettes I own fall in the ranking.

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

thank you!

[@annaugcit]

This was such a great video 😍😍😍 i would like to try Kaleidos palettes 😬😬❤❤❤❤❤

[@aliciabrodie3494]

Wow! What a chore! I SUPER appreciate this video because ranking videos are my FAVORITE!

[@SrhLun]

The 2019 eyeshadow-palettes ranking video was how I found your channel. I was so impressed with how thorough you were in ranking the palettes that I became a subscriber from that video !

[@lanastanberry9914]

I absolutely adore the look you created for this video.I love my ofra glitch 2000 palette.so pretty

[@sandracox9287]

Wow! You are phenomenal to get so many palettes reviewed!! Loved seeing a year of palettes of a comprehensive show of mix of brands! Yay!!

[@esthertschwartz]

Wow! Surprised by your top pick. I have it and love it too. Picked up the Sultry in the recent holiday season since I was skeptical about the Glam and thought I would get the looks with Sultry. Also have Colourpop Taupes. Looking forward to 'seeing' you in 2021

[@emilyeffervescent_]

My favourite was the Natasha denona bronze🤩 I also picked up the Natasha denona gold this year so I have been playing with that one with the bronze palette. I am shocked the love palette was your #1, but it does look like a great colour story. Happy new year Samantha!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@annenilsen2665]

GREAT JOB! Your top 5 is almost identical to mine! But I was surprised by Sigma Untamed and the Ofra Signature pals. I’m going to have to circle back and grab those sometime soon. 😍

[@anh7807]

I guess I am just on edge about sigma because nobody ever mentions it unless they are sponsored.

[@vm-dv81m]

Finally catching up ...Yes I was surprised with some of your choices, but I was guessing the whole video, of what’d be next. Really loved the video and eye shadow choices. P.S the blend is purfect 😻

[@ruthl07]

Loved watching!! We don’t have too many in common though! 🙈 Biba, glam and especially retro are my favorites! I totally regret purchasing the mini gold palette. 😅

[@giselet.siegmund7237]

I enjoyed your ranking. I also really like the CP Taupe pallet release. I was thinking of getting the Raw Beauty collaboration with CO, but it was sold out, and also reminds me of the ABH Subculture (which I already have). Thanks for the video! I love your energy and enthusiasm🙂

[@MaggieKrol]

Information overload!!! So good 😊 I need to step up my pallet game. Your collection is insane!!

[@louisebystrup1635]

Love your makeup so much in this video 🥰 hair is sooo good on you too

[@bridgetschaeffer2551]

My favorite is the tarte clay play. I love all matte palettes! I found you last year from your eye shadow palette ranking video!

[@PujaWahi]

Such a fun video! What hard work trying and ranking so many palettes!

[@TeeshaKeen]

Whew girl that was a mental workout! I agree with lots of your tippy top rankings:) thanks for a great video💕

[@dianaborra7649]

Wow 🤩 now you make me want to try the love palette even if the colour story looks to bold for my neutral lover eyes! I loved the glam!

[@susanyoungsusiesmakeuptoolcart]

Some great rankings!!!!!! Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆

[@ejk3534]

Whoa! So many pallettes!!! Love hearing all your thoughts..Thanks for doing this video!

[@sara.fernandes]

Amazing video!! I can't imagine how long it took for you to prepare and film this video, girl your hard work is inspiring ❤️ and it's about time your girlfriend Natasha starts sending you PR, should you send her one of your girls night sweaters? 😆

[@alissawhite8772]

This was an AMAZING ranking video, Sam!!! Now I know what you TRULY mean when you say that you only have two eyes...lol! Thank you for all of your hard work to bring us such amazing content!!!! Just signed up to be a member of the #samsquad and couldn’t be more excited!! You are involved in SO much, girl, I don’t know when you sleep! Happy New Year 🥳🥳🥳🥳

thank you so much alissa!

[@mariar3715]

Im so impressed you got through this ranking so quickly. I love the look you’re wearing, very chic.

[@nadiazanchetta1388]

WoW Samantha you did it 🎉🎉🎉 ranking your pallets was amazing to watch . Congratulations on filming this video 💄💖🥰

[@alfromtheblock9656]

ilysm 🥰 your videos make me so happy ❤️ (My favorite palette {purchases} in 2020 were Natasha Denona Gold and Pat McGrath Mothership Bronze or the Rose II... I can’t decide between those two)

[@yasothar5895]

You made me buy Sigma palettes this year. Seriously. I bought the Premium Eyeshadow set based on your reviews on the shadows alone! 😅🤣Still waiting for the delivery though, so I hope I like them all. And now I really want that ND bronze palette and mini gold. My favourite palettes for this year were the Persona Identity palette and the Sydney Grace Enduring Love palette. I am head over heels for the Sydney Grace eyeshadow formula! Happy New Year! You look great

[@lindaswitzer8044]

Woohoo I’m unpacking so I needed this to watch to keep me sane!!!

[@daniyaj438]

The 1st video i saw of urs is eyeshadow ranking video...and got hooked to ur channel... similarly I bought cor de rosa palette from sigma in November..had been eyeing it since released..just waiting for sale...and hooked😍 feels like best decision i ever made in makeup buying history😜😜.. soo glad to see ur ranking preferences 😜😜😜

[@debbiebubblescunico8042]

Good morning Samantha!! So dang excited for this video!!! Woohoo!!! 👏❤️

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

im excited too!!

[@Mina77pink]

This video was so fun and you’re the cutest! Love the ranking and I’ll have to grab some Sigma palettes and kaleidos ones :)))

[@ashleywhisman9716]

I loved when you did this last year so glad you did it again this year.

[@aundrealauzon]

That was fantastic!! My favorite palette of 2020 was the Biba palette!

[@farrahmcclarity]

Love Ranking Videos! Some of these palettes I totally forgot came out shows how fast 2020 went. Ur Eyeshadow looks Beautiful💕

[@Sarahphases]

So that Colourpop palette fell all aura the floor, and out of the pans? I’m glad it holds to its name at least!

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

😅😅😅😅

[@LishaMaria2009]

Hahaha ha such a good pun..

[@erinmcgurk399]

those eyebrows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u are gorgeous sam xx

[@NatalieYTFoster]

I have been loving all of the ranking palette videos. You did so well to try all these palettes in 2020 and rank that many palettes in a 30 minute video. I am only ranking 20 and mine is longer than that 🙈

[@dylanmerema7121]

great job at giving a thorough explanation about each palette while keeping it short. i always love seeing your input!

[@hazelt9953]

A brilliant video..thank you xx

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

This was amazing!! So many palettes! Your poor eye lids...Ha ha! Thank you for putting so much work into this video. It was really helpful. Have a Wonderful 2021!

[@Mannfamdhb03]

Loved watching! My favorite palette is the lawless baby. I can't stop wearing it, so stunning and easy to work with! I'm having so serious fomo over the ND love. Maybe one day! #Samsquad

[@gigi2k326]

My favorite of the year definitely is the That's Taupe palette. I keep thinking I want the Stone Cold Fox, but I definitely dont need any more palettes. But if the ND Glam fell in my lap, I wouldn't send it packing, lol 75 palettes, dang, you did the thing this year

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

love it!

[@becm963]

It is funny how make up so personal. I love my ND Glam palette and it is one of my favorite palettes of the year. I didn’t care for the color story of the love palette, but many people love it. I purchased the ND Biba during the Black Friday sale. I adore that palette, too. I do like the Bronze palette during late Fall and Summer when I have a tan.

[@samanthahernandez6286]

If you love the Mini Gold palette, you should check out the full size one. It is one of her $129 palettes but it is beautiful. That is the one I would buy if I were going to drop that kind of money on eyeshadow. 💚💛

[@Kstar327]

you are so right the ND love pallet is the best pallet ever because of this video I bought it got it at a discount since I bought it brand new on Poshmark, and haven't used a different pallet since I bought it. now I have the ND bronze pallet in my Sephora cart along with one of her lip liners and a ct lipliner just waiting for the Sephora sale to buy it thanks so much for your recommendations Samatha your always spot on

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

🥰🥰💕

[@annalafleur6135]

I really like the way you did your eye makeup in this video. It looks great! I am shocked that the glam palette wasn't ranked closer to number one. I respectfully disagree with your ranking. This doesn't mean I will stop watching I just have different opinions about these palettes. Still, fun video. Us midwestern girls should stick together. ;)

[@anyonecancookwithhannah]

I think that's important to remember--we can all have different opinions about makeup and its all ok! There is something for everyone ☺️

[@kelseynelson3705]

Yay, I have been looking forward to this video 😁

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

whoo hoo!

[@pattifrey8323]

I really enjoy when you do these rankings and very much value your opinion on the formulas. Thank you.

[@allisonn9036]

This year I was obsessed with the Sigma Untamed and Nabla Side by Side. Can you do more looks with those? 😍 thanks for excellent content, as usual!

[@sarahb5531]

The ND mini gold is my favorite of 2020. I can’t stop using it since it arrived.

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

❤❤

[@ReaganPlaysWithMakeup]

yaaaas I have been totally waiting for this video haha! I tried 85 palettes this year so I definitely feel your pain.. It was so hard to rank them hahaha!!

[@tammyrobinson7040]

This must have been SO much work. Thanks for putting in all the effort in this one! So worth it! ❤️ I got Sigma warn neutrals for Christmas, and I've got the colourpop That's Taupe palette on the way. Might be here tomorrow! 😟😂

[@e.poff3432]

You look good in this video! I love the cool toned look and your natural hair color gets more focus with that hairstyle. I'm into it
