I’m sorry people judge you for having “dirty” palettes. I love seeing used and abused palettes are. Shows that the user really loves the palette and uses the heck out of it. Additionally don’t apologize for being yourself and having things the way you want. There is more to life than keep all your palettes meticulously clean and pristine.

[@shadowsmoked88]

Honestly, it bothers me more than it probably should because people have called me "gross" and other fun things because my makeup has...makeup on it.

Totally understand memories being attached to makeup and beauty, I had to get rid of the perfume that I was wearing when my ex broke up with me, when I smell it on other people in passing I still cringe a little at the memory (and it’s 6 years later and I’m married)

[@daisycate]

Yes, yes, yes! Me, too!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Oh scent especially!

[@daisycate]

My husband starting wearing the same deodorant of an ex and I surreptitiously replaced it with a different brand and threw it out! Couldn't stand it.

[@OlgaSPN]

Damn, that's so true! But a sort of reverse also happens. I used to be kinda meh about coconuts, but now I'll eat, drink and smell anything coconut cuz my ex hated it. And suddenly they seem great xD

[@hirrorstories]

one of the strongest memories is smelling. i suggest you to start using that perfume again. it will a lot triggering at first. but after 2weeks or so you'll be okay. and then you won't remember your ex each time you smell it.

[@EdenBaynes]

I love seeing dirty makeup because it means you actually use it!

[@honoratagold]

I love seeing used/well-loved palettes in youtubers' collections. It not only shows you're actually using your palettes, but also shows your viewers which palettes you get a lot of use out of. My favorite palettes look the same!

[@BeautifullyWaking]

I love seeing "well-loved" makeup pallets. It shows that your makeup is not bought just for show. They're used, they're loved, and I love seeing pan. Seeing pallets showing pan means you keep them, you use them, and you play with your colors. and De-potting your pallets to make them work for you I admire because, girl! I don't have the time nor the patience. I love this vid

Sigma's eyeshadow formula has improved by giant leaps and bounds since the Warm Neutrals. I have their Enchanted and Cor de Rosa palettes, and they are so, so good! I've loved watching this video, Elle! Seeing eyeshadows that have actually been used is so much more enjoyable to me than seeing those that creators say they love but which look almost brand-new. Really loving your content lately ❤️🙂

[@minkg8178]

I had a similar problem with fading eyeshadows but it was the Zoeva Screen Queen. It was a bit old but certainly not one of my oldest palettes and they're still fine. It's almost all shimmers and I used the green one, half an hour later my eye was mauve, not green. Tried the baby pink and blue shades and again they faded in half an hour to a matching very pale gold. Never had that happen before but I'm glad I got good use out of it before it went. Now I'm side eyeing my other Zoeva palettes.

[@daisycate]

TOTALLY down for swatch love parties 🎉!’ Right in pointing out that powder eyeshadow powder is not dirt!

[@CourtneyKBeauty]

People have too much time on their hands if they're going to get mad at "dirty" palettes, which are not dirty at all! I guess they're so used to seeing these influencers with barely used makeup. You have a beautiful palette collection with lots of variety!

[@KatariinasVanity]

Omg those people complaining about dirty makeup. If you want to see brand new clean makeup, there are plenty of big influencers to watch for that. I love seeing makeup that is loved and used!

[@caramelrose819]

I am loving your collection and hearing your opinions. Elle I find my packaging can look a little dusty around the edges on well used ones too. Oh well. Gets a spray down occasionally. The Elf Retro palette and oceans palette, loving the colour story shown. This is good Drug Store makeup brand in my opinion along with LA Girl shadows. Keepers! We have the same two Huda Mini palettes. Love wearing the brown one with a red lip. It’s a classic go to look for me.

[@rhino1876]

I love seeing how well loved your palettes are!!!! It makes me feel more normal when I see them because MINE look like that. I have a really hard time when creators say they “LOVE” a palette but it clearly hasn’t been shown love??? Maybe that’s just me. I like seeing people really use things. I trust reviews more from people that really used something.

Thank you for saying it! Yes, the ND Glam palette is not really that cool-toned, that's what I think, too. But it takes a cool-toned person, imo, to be able to tell, bc when you compare it to our complexion you can def see the warm tones in the e/s.

[@shadowsmoked88]

[@irisl7817]

People judging well loved palettes is kinda silly. I love seeing use! I have memories attached to some make up too. My grandmother took me Christmas shopping one year to let me pick out my present and I got the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. I will never get rid of it. I have the worst time with the Urban Decay Ultimate basics palette. I only get use out of the top row. I'm not sure what's up with the shadows on the bottom, except the really light satin shade. They're so patchy. But the packaging is so pretty! Did I hear you say swatch party? :D

I think I've talked about this a couple times! I believe there was a "starting over" tag a year or so ago. Essentially it would be neutral shades- like ND's Biba and MAC single shadows like Kid and Soft Brown. And then golds and greens (ND Gold/Mini Gold) and colour (Viseart!) and then I'd probably look at unique shades like duochromes and fun colours!

Honestly, I was raised around antiquities and I deeply appreciate things that look used. Same with the way paint palettes. It reminds me of some refined person sitting in their boudoir getting ready with their well loved and established makeup collection. Also, I use an antique handheld mirror because for some reason I get anxiety using the mirrors from palettes. It is a physical anxiousness that is uncomfortable and uneasy feeling - like my eyes start to ache. It is weird. Also, why are you referring to some shadows as Frankenshadows? Is this alluding to Frankenstein’s Monster?

[@shadowsmoked88]

That is the reference! It's the term some people use for mixing different parts of makeup together to create something new.

My Desert Dusk has always swatched like that since the day i got it. I got it in store at Sephora. It works on the eyes fine (excluding the matte purple. That was trash from day 1) but has never swatched any different from yours and has always been super dry. I wonder if i bought an old one. I thought that was just how the formula was. Kind of like the bperfect carnival palettes. They work well on the eyes but swatch like shit.

[@shadowsmoked88]

I haven't used it on my eyes in a while, but it was VERY different when I was first bought it. Almost creamy.
