INTENSE EYESHADOW PALETTE DECLUTTER 2022 IN WHICH I AM REBORN AS A PALETTE MINIMALIST (PART TWO)

[@lysrobinsdaughter6599]

One thing that is really helpful about these declutters is that I see youtubers decluttering things I used to covet at some point. It helps me remember that what ever non-eternal thing I want right now, there will come a day where it is less important to me, and probably a day where I no longer want it.

[@HannahLouisePoston]

I think about this a lot too

[@carissachristy9364]

This!!!

[@anh7807]

Yes. I wanted that hela palette so bad I couldn't stop thinking about it for months. I've had it almost a year now and have only use it (for the yellow) a few times. I don't really need more, even if I want more...I have at least 60 palettes already. The fact that Hannah is able to make so much content and really enjoy what she has with so few palettes really makes me think.

[@cneer17]

Yes but there’s also a line between living in the moment and getting carried away. Don’t be afraid of splurging on something you’ll make great use of & truly enjoy just because you might not feel the same way later. None of us will want/need any of this stuff when we’re 104years old so know your limits & catch your impulses but don’t live a life of missed opportunities (:

[@heatherc3852]

If you cannot dupe the vibes, you can always just get one or two singles instead of a palette. That has helped me keep my collection simple

[@CatMcCloud]

I’ve started doing that and it helps a lot! And a lot of times the quality of singles is so much better than palettes!

[@sarac8076]

I do the same!

[@paulachristie7807]

Omg Hannah 😭 “beautiful things come and beautiful things go and you don’t have to hold onto them forever” 😭

[@VeganEmerald]

I got EMOTIONAL about the gold palette which I have because of your channel 😂 I had to whisper to mine “no it’s ok bb it’s not your time” 😅🥺

[@beckyhegland7902]

Perhaps my favorite thing about you is that you say things that we really don't hear anywhere else. Part of what makes any given space feel 'oversaturated' is that all the content in that space is relatively homogeneous; in the beauty space, almost all declutters feel the same, almost all reviews feel the same, etc. You manage to say things that are different *and* that possess meaning, and I appreciate that so much. You articulate the most well-thought-out reasons for keeping and letting go, and it's so refreshing to hear that it's not always about use value, or about loving a thing. Please keep doing what you do, in the HLP way. And thank you.

[@kellygreengables3936]

What beautiful palletes! Loving the "ruthless" nature of these declutters. Also, does anyone else feel like this just reinforced them that single shadows and/or smaller palettes (like 6 pans, quads, trios) are the way to go? I feel like we all have that moment where we hit pan in our favorite shade in a palette and then we panic lol.

[@The.Violet.1]

I followed HLP & I started buying singles . Although Angelica Nyqvist was my inspiration, HLP made me do it freely & I enjoyed it so much , I saved so much money , I've been more creative than ever , and I just stopped buying palettes & I kept decluttering them until this moment in life where I have (collectables) aka Collabs/limited editions palettes!!! My collection is divided into 3 chuncks (1) LE chunk : Red dragon, Club nebula, moonspell, freaking bats & BH cosmetics Citrine palette ( I can't declutter any of them because they so unique & I use them a lot and I can be content with them. (2) Permanent chunck : LH cosmetics spectral & Infinity deep palettes , nabla cutie analouge, Jason wu prickly pear (mini bronze palette to me ). (Mostly neutral) (3) Depotted chunck : ace beauty Falling Paradise , Tokyo Harajuku by Nomad , the tribe & the mini by Juvia's place & cutie coral palette, 5 colorful palettes turned & edited into singles . I could downsize my singles, though 🤔

[@thesavvyblackbird]

I have a few larger palettes only because they were cheaper than the individuals-looking at you Urban Decay. I got the UD Wild West palette and the Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Second Slice palettes for Black Friday/Cyber Monday when they were 50% off. I do like the bigger palettes because they have multiple shades in the same hue range so I can make quite a few combinations instead of just having one. Plus the two palettes have similar color stories that work together. I tend to stick with certain colors for my eyeshadow looks. Kinda like a capsule wardrobe where everything works together. I do have cream singles that I love, but the palettes also work with them. I love the Supergoop! Shimmershade SPF 30 cream eyeshadows, and they work well with powders and gels (I don’t have liquid eyeliner, but I think it would work too.) What frustrates me the most about single eyeshadows is finding a shade I really love then finding out that shade was discontinued. Then you have to find a dupe. The Too Faced Pumpkin Spice palette is talc free so it’s gonna be difficult to find a good dupe.

[@thesavvyblackbird]

I have some palettes I absolutely love for sentimental reasons. I think I might just frame them so I can keep them around. Except 😮original Urban Decay Naked Palette because that velvet case did not hold up well. Icky. That Gucci palette would be gorgeous in a shadow box with something vintage like a vintage metal mesh purse and decorative vintage compacts.

[@daniellezadora7637]

I think it's really cool that brands sent you so much stuff as well as you purchasing you're own to help you along your eye shadow journey makes me think as a consumer of how much money I've wasted trying to figure out my own makeup esthetic blindly shopping to emulate what I see not realizing sometimes that that's their esthetic and not my own

[@AmandaBabyyyyy]

YES! Makeup, clothing, home decor…it took me so many years and an embarrassing amount of wasted money before I actually learned what my own aesthetic is. I can appreciate and adore a look for someone else without needing to own it 🖤

[@KendraMorgan]

I think k not enough people talk about how much stuff you'll buy before really finding your style whether it be home decor, makeup, clothes, home goods, etc!!!

[@BethaneyLilly]

Yes! No one talks about the journey of finding ones aesthetic. It took me years of trying, buying & testing before nailing down exactly what I prefer. So much money wasted on impractical purchases 😂… buying for some fantasy version of myself that just doesn’t exist! Realistically I’m nowhere near as exciting, fancy or colorful.

[@sarahhsmiles42]

you were right when you said this was going to be a surprising declutter! i have many many palettes, i definitely collect them in a library-type way, but at the same time i daydream of having an edited collection of precious palettes. my mom has expressed a dilemma i relate to, where she will carry a big bag so she knows she always has anything she might need, but it becomes so full and overwhelming to root through, that she will then switch to a small bag. and predictably, she loves being able to find everything in her new small bag, but misses being able to carry two types of pain meds, pads and tampons, whole journals and books etc so she goes back to the big bag. i'm just in my big palette collection epoch like my mom goes through her big bag phases lol

[@aartijhoke1768]

for the jungle lights palette you could try the cookie cutter method to depot the pink shadow because it’s so big and creamy! Basically just squish your empty pan face down into the palette and it should hopefully stay intact. I’ve seen another person do it on KZbin and it seemed to work :)

[@reavenlove]

Cool trick! I will have to remember that!

[@DoubleMD11]

I love so much how your eloquent way of discussing makeup and framing your thoughts is then juxtaposed so starkly against a random "slayyyyyy" XD

[@Instaraxx]

I would LOVE the packaging from the Gucci palette. I don’t care about the eyeshadow but I’d turn it into a watercolor palette, it’s so beautiful.

[@angiec8784]

I LOVE your declutters. Brave, practical and appreciative when you let go of gold. Things age. You used it a TON! So inspiring. I’ve been watching your videos since the first no buy year. Love your poetry, bravery and appreciation. 💕

[@abeautyproject]

I scraped the shadows i loved out of the flower beauty into a small 26mm pan and repressed it back down with a paper towel without even having to use alcohol. Worked really really well.

[@theprousteffect9717]

Powder eyeshadow is so difficult for me to declutter for various reasons, even though it's a category I almost never use anymore since I've switched to mainly one and done cream eyeshadow looks. I hate having items that just sit there most of the time, but I do use them every once in a blue moon, so can't bring myself to part with them. It sometimes feels like a weird codependent friendship where we only speak twice a year, I feel pressured when we do so, we no longer have much in common, but I can't bare to cut them out of my life because they've been a friend for so long and I kind of like knowing they're there.

[@Lynnonymous]

Oh my goodness, you were ruthless!! I was holding my breath and saying "no no no don't do it!" with the Hela and Club Nebula palettes... I could never never LOL! I'd drop the Nars palette and keep them both. It just shows how we can have different styles and loves, and I'm here for it. I love watching good declutters for this reason. Great video!

[@kimzeyite5564]

I never was so sad after a declutter, but I respect your choices 😢 RIP Gold

[@LexiLadonna]

Depotting palettes has really helped me declutter in the past. There were so many palettes that I was keeping just because there were a couple shades in them that were useful to me. Once I gave myself permission to spoil the palette and rip it apart, it felt so freeing to just take what I wanted out of them. I still enjoy having some palettes, but it’s really let me focus on having palettes that I enjoy as a whole instead of keeping a bunch of palettes just for a couple shades

[@CharlotteV3D]

THIS! I am going through a phase where I wonder if I should just repress some eyeshadows because I do keep some palettes just for that exact purpose...

[@SimpleTides]

Just now realizing I get to enjoy 3 parts to this eyeshadow declutter.

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

The more I watch your channel the more I understand you. I honestly think you are a single eyeshadow personality. Personally, I don’t have singles and I can’t even imagine using singles. Thank you for sharing your collection with us. I enjoy your videos.

I actually just teared up a little, when you thanked your ND gold palette.. the memories 😂 you are doing so well! And i LIVE for all the declutters❤️

[@carriekennedy5903]

I’m trying to limit palettes to seven. Then, I use each once a week. Now, that being said, that’s the goal. Lol. Not so much in reality. Palettes are the toughest declutter for a lot of us.

[@paulachristie7807]

I have six small pallets. I try to rotate them on a weekly basis.

[@laurasince1986]

As someone who loves to collect eyeshadow palettes and who loves having an abundance of choice when it comes to colours and textures in my palettes .. this one stressed me out!!!

[@kelliwalters1728]

Whenever people mention makeup packaging that is hard to discern the contents of (such as the mothership palettes) I really want to suggest that you get a coordinating nail polish shade and paint a stripe across an edge or the back of that item’s packaging. That way you can quickly grab a mothership palette and flip it over to see if the polish stripe/dot is red or green or whatever without having to find the text and read the name of the item. And you can do it quickly and with one hand, unlike opening said palette. If you’re hesitant to paint right onto the packaging you can put down a piece of tape and paint over that.

[@ellelee8760]

Yes! Or even just those little colorful dot stickers could help label them

[@supernouveaux]

There was a listing on mercari where someone was selling the DRII palette and had cut the bigger flap of the box off and glued it on the top of the palette and it looks so satisfying. I want to do it, but like eek!! I'm such a purist with her palettes and keeping them in their little home and having them all lined up in their boxes and _sigh_

[@elysianpeace178]

😂 I have nail polish dots on my camera batteries to distinguish mine from fellow camera havers in my family so we dont accidentally have them collect with one person. Nail polish is a surprisingly useful organization tool. ❤

I stopped buying makeup last year because of all the over-shopping I did during COVID. Thanks for all the inspiration. Love yah!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@heatherlee2047]

Good luck on your journey! Thank you for sharing with us

[@nuchithoj]

For my PMG palettes, I actually labeled them on the side with some washi tape and their names so that when they’re stacked up on top/next to each other, I can easily see which is which! But I actually just depotted all of my Motherships because as much as I love how hefty they feel in my hands, I hateeeee how bulky they are and how sharp the edges/corners are. My perfect packaging is stuff like VBB - sleek, hefty, rounded corners, compact 🧡🧡🧡 but yeah! Easy way to differentiate between the two instead of keeping them in their packaging. 😊

[@Lovelyasdfghjkl]

Would you be willing to do a video on your experience depotting a PMG pallet as well as what survived and didn’t survive that?

[@susannatuttapanna2010]

I don't like her packaging either, it's so wasteful.

[@alinam8854]

Hannah, have you ever talked about your rings? How you acquired them, the brands, the history behind? If not, that’d be fun. I got curious about them enjoying your declutter series :)

[@SarahJo]

Man this video really got me thinking about where I fall in the "collect eyeshadow palettes like books" to "only having a small amount I use constantly" spectrum, and I think why I haven't found my place is because I've been thinking of it as a dichotomy instead of a spectrum. I love having an abundance of eyeshadow palettes, I love looking at all of them and feeling like "wow I just have so much beautiful eyeshadow to choose from", but I also love feeling like I can use all of my palettes regularly, that I can give them each attention. I think maybe around 30 is my ideal, that way I could theoretically use each one every month, so it doesn't feel like "I have so much I literally don't have the time to use them all" and yet it still feels like that amazing abundance, with just SO MANY beautiful options to choose from. Thank you for helping me figure that out!

[@eleanorchan872]

I depotted 10 eyeshadow palettes over the past couple weeks and reorganised them into cohesive colour stories. I was amazed at just how many similar shimmery pink's and shimmery light golds/champagnes and bronzes I had overall. At some point in the next couple weeks, I'm going to do a "reckoning" and swatch to choose only 1 or 2 of each kind. Then I will make a Project Pan palette of eyeshadows to use up over the year. I will also do this for my blushes too. I don't need 8 pans of pink blush. I love you Tarte but I've got just too many blushes to realistically use and I've had these blushes for much too long.

[@florag9998]

The PMG palette and the Gucci right next to it look so similar. I hope you don't regret getting rid of the diversity the other palettes offered, cause those are all rosy toned leaning.

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Your declutters are the BEST! I adore the Flower Beauty Jungle palette...I love touching it and looking at it...however the metallics are more for my fantasy self...unfortunately not that workable on my 63 year old eyes LOL...My daughter is rocking it though! And I so agree on the Alter Ego Palettes...I did find the Shadow Kiss is MUCH closer to the Glam than the Harmony is to Retro. I didn't get ND last two palettes...the color stories didn't really wow me...but if Alter Ego dupes them may just give them a try out of curiosity. It's nice there are some affordable options out there. ♥

This and the single eyeshadow declutter are the videos I’ve been eagerly awaiting in this declutter series! I love hearing your thought process, and it definitely inspires me to be okay with my makeup style and interests changing. I used to wear crazy colored lipsticks all the time, and now I don’t and they’re just collecting dust in my drawer. I haven’t gotten rid of them because I keep thinking, well maybe I’ll want to wear something like that again, but has that happened yet? No. Watching you get rid of the gold palette reminds me that I can have loved something and also now thank it and move to objects I foresee myself really truly using.

[@sarac8076]

It's never easy to "declutter" makeup you love, but this video feels like multiple sentimental breakups. Like, "you are lovely, we had such a great time, but I'm moving on. You'll find someone who can appreciate you more than I do at this point in my life." I am a little heartbroken. Pure delight.

[@MaisZuuuuut]

This video was everything I expected it to be and more ! I really like how passionate you are about makeup. I love the way you talk about it, the way you describe colors or the way you genuinely enjoy playing with your products. You are an inspiration and you help me so much to reconnect with the part of me that loves playing with makeup and to get rid of the part of me that just loves buying makeup. I made a small declutter after watching this video and I am currently at 10 palettes. I am happy with this number, I have a lot of choice but it's also quite manageable. My goal for the next year is to remember that I already have so much great products, I don't need anything more. I like watching your older videos about no-buy, they are still so helpful !

[@questionsfromthebeyond]

I greatly admire your eloquence-- it speaks to your unique spark as a person, and it inspires me to use more particular words to get across a richer meaning with my own speech. I think the word I'm thinking of is "fresh." Also, your declutters and reviews are inspiring me to assess my own (relatively small) collection to fully appreciate my own "precious" pieces.

It caused me physical pain when you decluttered Club Nebula but I respect your reasons for doing so. Another awesome declutter, well done, Hannah!

I think every once in a while you have a video that puts our different styles and what we value in a palette in stark contrast. I do appreciate the reminder that as much as I enjoy your perspective and ideas around makeup it can only lead me so far. It’s good to see that what a good selection for you looks like absolutely doesn’t have to be what mine does. Congrats on the declutter and moving on from old loves to new constants. 🎉

The Flower shadow in Jungle Lights(?) palette looked on my screen like one of my Sydney Grace singles. It is great that you follow your path and don't go to the typical beauty youtuber route of keeping stuff just for the sake of having every color that excist or just because it is new.

[@laurahodgson6531]

There is something about eyeshadow palettes that make them so hard to throw away. I don't even wear eyeshadow anymore with the exception of some contour powder.

As a person who project pans, highlighter and blush take way longer to use up than an eyeshadow palette. I can usually finish an eyeshadow palette in a year but it takes me a year and a half or two years depending on the blush. Your mileage may vary depending on how heavy a hand you have but I find that to be true for most people.

I feel like arguing online about eye shadow palettes is the makeup lovers equivalent of ranking albums-- like the palettes I have kept are part of my personality at this point. It's a bit embarassing how passionately I feel about the OG Limecrime palette for example.

I absolutely loved this entire video. I've been feeling a similar pull to deeply declutter my collection, to make some decisions regarding color stories and packaging and what I enjoy using and holding. This was so cathartic. Well done, Hannah!! If you hear someone applauding you in the distance, it's me. ❤️

Compared to many I have very few palletes. 7 I think. And a glisten eyeliner pallette. Funnily enough i immediately had to go play with the two of mine that you just decluttered- the flower punk and It’s a mood. despite us both being pale, I don’t suit the same colours as you and it makes sense I get excited by different colours to you. I got the same effect from this video as I do your “dupe the vibes” which is that I immediately went to my collection and started playing with it despite it being night over here.

Seeing the Natasha denona palettes go really felt like the end of an era. Loving your final edit though ❤ esp when remembering in the overall scheme of things that you still own a lot of eyeshadow. There is a bunch of cream singles and small palette survivors from part 1 and also upcoming all those gorgeous free floating singles in upcoming in part 3. There is such a suspense if there are any casualties from your adept and clionadh collection in your part 3 video.

[@LEbackstage]

This was an interesting declutter and I even had a little laugh at the end. 🤣 the palettes you kept were a little predictable, if you look at the color stories. All of these have this grungy, oil slicked quality that you covet. I too realized that I have a type, when it comes to palettes - I too love the oil slick, but mattes need to be really pigmented also and the more sparkle a shadow has the better. The book analogy was really fitting. I'm an avid reader with a good collection, where some are 20 years old. But palettes won't hold this long. So I rather use them while they're good and enjoy them.

Stunning, by stunning I mean, so satisfying, final shot of the five survivors~~ like a breath of cohesive aesthetic fresh air. I possess 3 of the 5 ( ....and a whole heck of a lot more to boot.) I am more of the eye shadow palette librarian/historian ilk ~~ and user, I do also use, love and abuse those shadows, but the more you have, the less love and attention each one can get, the more your focus is distracted. All of my palettes are in sight, at arms reach on a mahogany mini "book" shelf designed for CD's that sits atop my great Aunt Benny's mahogany vanity or in the drawers that flank either side of me when I sit at the helm ~~~ kind of arrayed like a perfumer's organ~~~~ the perfumes are stage left. I adore watching thoughtful, insightful, fraught with meaning declutters ~~it helps me clarify my Why and encourages my own reckonings, the ones that bring peace to my heart, mind and soul. Thank you Hannah for stating, trying to make abundantly clear, that everyone's declutter is their journey, everyone's precious is their own specific precious. ♥

I feel about Tarte how you describe feeling about Nars. When I first got into makeup I could not afford high end makeup almost at all, but every time I went into Sephora I always spent so much time at the Tarte display swatching and coveting, and now that I can spend more on beauty they just haven't grabbed me until recently I got one of their new palettes and I ADORE IT and it feels so good to have a piece of Tarte makeup in my collection. Not the exact same situation, but I know the feeling of how lovely it can be to have a piece from a brand like that.

Flower Punk is still available for purchase. Edit: I didn't realise it says to wishlist it 😱 I've lusted after that palette since it launched. Waiting 21 days for shipping is bananas to me though. Also, you mentioned once that if we love something we likely have something like it. I definitely can closely dupe the vibes in my collection. Seeing your collection down to 5 is so satisfying. Maybe I'll be there in a few years when my palettes expire. I love so many of my palettes too much to get down to that point now. The smallest I can see myself going is 21 of the 27 I own. For now though, I'm keeping them around. I think I'm going to challenge myself this coming year to only buy makeup during Black Friday sales. The only thing that is unlikely to be around still if I want it is a Colourpop palette. There may be some limited edition palettes that break my heart a bit, but it will be okay. I noticed that at least 3/5 palettes you kept have very similar vibes. As you said though, we like what we like. I was thinking, if you're as brutal with your single shadow collection declutter. Maybe it would be a good idea to depot the palettes Angie collabed on. That way you have the variety in a formula you love. Looking at the Hela palette I kind of wish I had gone for it. That duochrome on the bottom looks to die for. Over all the color story just felt too dupable, or vibe dupable, to me. And I am not that big of a fan of Oden Eye's formula. A lot of the shimmers get packed down too tight and hard pan and the mattes are almost too pigmented for my taste. Maybe that was just what Annette and Tina were going for. I don't have as much of an issue with the mattes in Judy's palette. I've considered decluttering the 3 Odens Eye palettes I own, but with my Pastel Dreams palette or a shimmer bronzer / blush or a highlighter I can make the shadows work. I just don't love that I have to go work so hard to like the shadows.

"The membrane of reluctance" - what a perfect description of the first few minutes of any simplifying sort.

I truly admire your outlook, I truly enjoyed your declutter videos. I am trying to change my mindset with makeup, I go back and forth with my collection. Sometimes I want to let it all go, then I sit and swatch and feel like I wanna keep everything. I'm going to focus next year on curating a collection I love,I want and brings value to my makeup journey. I could listen to you talk about makeup for hours, so soothing and inspirational.

I received Lisa Eldridge’s Liquid Lurex in Titania today, put it on, and immediately thought ooooh I’m HLP. It’s the most gorgeous blackened antique gold, which is the only bronzey tone that doesn’t go too yellow/orange/red on my olive skin. I wish I could send it to you xXx

[@cassiedeehoo]

I would’ve preferred That you keep the pallets and singles and make more customized Hannah Louise palettes. I find that really fun and maybe it’s just me. Sorry about the voice to text errors I just don’t feel like fixing them.

I have 15 eyeshadow palettes, and I love all of them, use them😊 I have 5 ND palettes and others are 4 pans Chanel and 5 pans Dior, so not huge palettes, I can use all I have and it is very convenient to keep😍BTW ND Gold is my fav, will never let it go ❤

The end of an era... Looking forward to this new one :)

[@rebeccajordan4491]

Ooooo, do I watch this now as a welcome distraction at work, or save it for this evening to enjoy with homemade Christmas cookies… hard call, but I don’t want to waste my precious HLP time on this dingy office. I’ll watch it later, but definitely here for it in spirit ❤

[@sashaminium]

This declutter was so inspiring! You’re so thoughtful about what you keep and why, and now it makes me want to really scrutinize what palettes in my collection are truly my preciouses!

[@revenge0lobster]

I really appreciate how you distinguish between your business and personal purchases.

The era of Queen Natasha Denoa has been handed over to another Queen Pat McGrath. Hooray! God save the queen!

It's so satisfying to say I was right about Midnight Sun. I just knew you'd go to town on astral solstice, it's like Danessa's Milky Way but more practical. Ironically, I'm still waiting for my Hela palette to arrive from black friday. I've used all of club nebula at least twice & I'm halfway through Gravity! Angie is a genius. Fingers crossed she gets offered another collab soon 🦄🥂🥦

[@lbeard7661]

I used to collect them, and I finally had to stop. I haven’t bought one in a couple of years now, and I still have probably my weight in them to declutter. I just recently decided to purchase the Pat McGarth x Star Wars Mothership one, and once it comes in I’ll be doing a massive declutter.

[@rachelstauffer1326]

You put into words everything I’ve been feeling about my flower punk palette. I wish I used it more :’)

[@CharlotteV3D]

I literally liked this video before the first minute mark. I just listen to your intro Hannah and I know I am up for some great quality content ^^ There is something that I have noticed when I declutter, is that I do four sorts of piles: the maybe pile of palettes or shadows that I will try again and see, the expired makeup that goes in the bin, the give it away because it is recent and I don't use it and didn't use much, and the repressing pile. The repressing pile is these type of palettes I know I would use more if they were singles. Typically I did that for all my Juvia's Place palettes. I love their colors and the formula but the color stories weren't as inspiring, so I repressed them and put them with my other singles. And I do use them so much more. The repressing pile is also super useful when you have those 2-3 shadows that are still good and that you love out of a palette, then you can repress and pop them with your singles, and throw away the rest. I thought about that when you talked about the Jungle Lights palette and the palettes from Angelica. I always repress dry, meaning I don't add alcohol etc. so it doesn't disturb the formula - unless it's a raw, pure, loose pigment that have no binders in them. Anyway, my two cents on how I do my declutters :D It was such a great video Hannah.

[@blendofdays]

Ooof, I'd be lying if I said this one didn't hurt! As a collector of (especially) eyeshadow palettes, this was hard for me to stomach! 🤭😵‍💫 I completely understand getting rid of items that have lost their use value by way of getting old. However, when that happens, I merely keep them as keepsakes. Maybe in the future I'll be brave enough to wittle my collection down more than I have over the past few years, but definitely not now. I'm scared to see the singles declutter! Singles are my second love & building customs is probably my favorite past time to date. 🤗💜

[@EvaLoVerde]

When you said this is gonna be vicious I knew that the Gold palette was about to go. I got it right before it got discontinued and it's serving the same purpose it did for you for years: keeping me focus on what I really love. Ended up loving some shades you never cared for and I think it's funny. Can't wait to see how you keep growing!
