I love watching de clutters! 🥰 I just went through my own collection, and I managed to go from 34 palettes to 5. I even got rid of most of my Natasha Denona palettes ( I used to have all of the large palettes, I kept 3). Got rid of about half of everything else too. Even shocked my husband. 🤣 I’ve just finally come to the realization that I’m not a collector, I hate anything that feels like clutter, I’m not a youtuber, and honestly I’m in my 40’s and pretty basic in my eyeshadow choices. It felt so good!

[@isabelle123_7]

Misty L wow thats amazing ! What are the 5 palettes you decided to keep ?

[@carriekup]

Wow! Thats super impressive! I second the comment above, what are the 5 that made the cut?

[@lynseywhite8667]

What made the cut ??

[@mm-xl5cw]

@@isabelle123_7 me too, I want to know

[@stacyketner]

Yes please tell us!!! That is fantastic I have paired mine down to 3 pallets and two small z-pallets that are half full and 8 singles.

[@sonisharodriguez1216]

I have hundreds of eyeshadow palettes and I recently did a huge declutter of them. I got rid of over 150 eyeshadow palettes so far. I sold most on Mercari and I gave about two dozen away to my family. All were barely touched and lot were brand new. I still have another 100-200 I need to sell or give away. It’s an exhausting process. But there was absolutely no need to have over 500 eyeshadow palettes when I’m not a youtuber or anything. I just really enjoy makeup.

[@Lora-Lynn]

Being an artist/creative means you have no boundaries to the medium you work with... would love to see your art. Maybe an art collection tour??? I like that your blonde hair is back.

[@tiffany4324]

I'm really glad you kept the things you love instead of going into this with an "I have to declutter x amount" attitude!

[@claudiatorres9936]

I love eyeshadow palettes and anything to do with them. I also love declutters, because among so many products, we get to see what influencers (who try out so much) really like.

[@irisk934]

So here for this!!! 43 minutes of palette goodness 💖💖💖

[@lalacarroll431]

Mel, you have one of the very very best eyeshadow collections I’ve ever seen! I love how you take such great care of every single palette you have and even keep some of the packaging sleeves and boxes on some. I’m going to have to rewatch and rewatch this video because some of the palettes you showed off are so beautiful!! And why have I never tried Nabla eyeshadows? They are gorgeous! My favorite palette that you showed is the Dior cool toned palette so beautiful 😍 how did I miss that one? Amazing Amazing Video!! I’ve been really bored with my eyeshadow palettes and you have given me major inspiration! Have a great day xo 💜✨

[@melthompson2856]

Thank you so much!

[@sarahweaver7808]

Oh yeah, good job! I’d love to see you go back and revisit some of these. Like once a week a shop my stash video? I always see those videos don’t have as many views, but I love seeing new looks with old palettes, especially since I own so many of them! 😂

[@eimearmorrissey7236]

I literally own the majority of those palettes based on Mel's recommendations and awesome reviews! I second the request for more shop my stash videos! Love them!

[@katiesbeenyarnified]

Sarah Weaver I love seeing new looks with old palettes too! I often try searching specifically for those videos.

[@shantelbarnhill4222]

New looks with old palettes!!!!!!!! 🎉

[@snowwhyte__2605]

Especially that sweet peach palette! I have it but i often forget about it and feel like a kid in a candy store when i remember that I do have it

[@sarahwong4258]

A true makeup connoisseur! It's so fun seeing how excited your palletes make you ❤❤ beautiful makeup gives me this....butterfly like feeling in my stomach, and this excitement that's hard to explain! I have a feeling you know that feeling. Lol

[@carriekup]

Yes!

[@Jbal8924]

It’s so fun to see your collection! Love how attached you are to so many of these - makes me feel like my makeup obsession is okay! 😉❤️

[@paolafrias]

I’d like to see you pull out older palettes and do looks with them. Love the look!

[@jobee1]

When I’m decluttering eye palettes I will go through and depot certain colors that call to me and make a separate z palette. I’ve learned now to stop buying palettes and investing in good singles that I like and will use.

[@Me-sf2bn]

Smart

[@beautifly07]

Good idea... thanks 😊

[@meepmoopmeep1]

One reason I love your channel is because your love of makeup is so completely obvious- you are in this cause you have a passion for it and it always shows

[@user-pu9ns5op1c]

This feels so good to watch! It's quick, easy, you are not trying to find any excuse to keep one: "I love it, I keep it". To all other youtubers : you don't need to pretend being a make-up collector to keep things. Just do it and love it ♥️

[@BBWBeauty]

OMG THESE ARE MY FAVORITE VIDEOS!!!!!! I’m so excited Mel is doing one!!!!! Too bad I’m at work and will probably get in trouble for trying to watch lol

[@gigi2k326]

I love the excitement you Express when you pull out a fav. Imo, there's never a reason to explain keeping or not keeping a palette. They're yours, do what you want!

[@lacondesalatina]

yo go girl... hope to see another eyelook with Marc Jacob's Silletto.. also Dior's Amber Neutrals... BLESSINGS, Latina 💛💜💚💛💜💚💛💜

[@mutantfroggy]

Hello! Seeing all these Palettes is tempting me to buy more 🙈 I have 4 months left in my eyeshadow no-buy

[@TracyD2]

💪🏽

[@carriekup]

You are braver than I. Eyeshadow is the thing i am a sucker for. I cant imagine going on an eyeshadow No Buy, thats what my nightmares are made of. Dont get me wrong, i dont think i go crazy or anything. I do buy new palettes very selectively. But just the thought of not being able to buy Any.... for Months... it gives me anxiety to think about. Lol

[@TheMocao]

I’m curious what caused you to do a no buy?

[@mutantfroggy]

@@TheMocao I have so much good quality eyeshadow that I end up not using, so I wanted to take the time to rediscover them (which I can't do if I keep buying more 😂). Kind of comes at an appropriate time it turns out with the current situation. Hope you're safe and well wherever you are!

[@TheMocao]

mutantfroggy makes sense! I always wonder what motivates no buys 😊 I’m doing well - thanks for asking...hope you are safe and healthy too!

[@savanah1407]

Still watching & enjoying Mel’s videos. So grateful that they’re here to watch

[@AnimeGirl8792]

Wooooo finally a declutter from this channel and woooo

[@lisar4904]

Would love to see a blush/highlighter declutter!!

[@TracyD2]

Lisa R and foundations. I’m always on the hunt for good ones. I love to know in one fell swoop what worked or not.

[@TxYelowRose]

That is a lot of eye shadow. Now I have the urge to buy more palettes after watching this. 😂 I enjoy the declutters because it helps me determine what is good and what is great. If you love it I know I will as well. Thanks for another informative video Mel. By the way that shirt is beautiful! Love that color on you!

[@LyndaBullerwell]

I always enjoy your videos. You are a ray of sunshine...I especially loved this one seeing the joy you have for them and for art . Thank you!! 💜

[@romanqueen7868]

I love that I only have 5 palette! And still feel overwhelmed 😂

[@jos.4276]

Exactly. I keep wondering how old these are--ew.

[@TheMarkedGirl717]

@@jos.4276 To be fair eyeshadows and most products can last for yeeears

[@skicouture]

Mel, unless I'm counting incorrectly, I'm decluttering 32 palettes me, I always have to count more than once😊

[@melthompson2856]

LOL! There was such a mess on my table that I didn’t even want to try more than five times I counted 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dockaren76]

Girl, you are the only influencer who exerts so much energy into her declutters that she goes into full on bronchospasm - you get the win, I’m a subscriber for life! I just got that Lorac 4 pro palette. Wish I’d seen this first. 😏

[@melthompson2856]

😂😂😂 thanks, love!!! 😘😘😘

[@dzymzlzyb1268]

I’d love to see some “shop my stash” with the palettes you’re keeping but haven’t done looks with in awhile!

[@felicitygeorgiegirl5840]

Wow Mel decluttering 32 eyeshadow palette’s is amazing. I had so much trouble watching this video I kept saying oh my god I love that palette I need that palette. Then no I don’t need that palette I have enough pallets and then you pull out the next pallet and I’d say it again oh my god I love that palette I need that palette and on and on and on LOL

[@tiachantelou119]

Such a beautiful, ethereal, kind soul. You still shine bright dear Mel. ❤️

[@sarahferrari4232]

You have really become one of my favorite you tubers. I honestly feel like you give a complete honest review and give enough info for us so that we can make the best decision on what we want to purchase or pass on. Thank you so much!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Love a declutter!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@melthompson2856]

I love you!!!

[@samanthaprestley]

Love this kind of video❤️. For some reason any palettes with heart or diamond shaped pans make me angry. 👺 they gotta go BYE🤣🤣

[@Heyitskrystal]

Watching you go through and display your collection is so intensely relaxing. It’s making me want to pull a bunch of palettes from my collection to put in my rotation.

[@0389BA]

This look is everything! 😍

[@echase4790]

Isn't it? WOW!

[@morganblalock873]

Waited until I had a day off to grab some coffee and watch this bad boy! I love it! Good job Mel.

[@lanew22]

I have a box specifically for makeup I'm keeping but not using either because of memories or collecting. That way it's out of my makeup space but I still keep it because I can't stand opening up a drawer and seeing all the space taken up by makeup I'll never use again but refuse to get rid of

[@marlamann3777]

I need to declutter my life lol. love these videos-Mel you look stunning as usual!!! xx Mar

[@Feelinprettie]

As a fellow eyeshadow palette junkie. I love this declutter video as you are collector not just a person who owns a bunch of eyeshadows as there is a difference!

[@BRITCLARKE]

ok but this eye look... stunning! great declutter Mel!

[@KarrasSim]

I am obsessed with declutter vids, especially right now. I am new to your channel, and already I feel like I love your taste in makeup!!!! Sending love New Orleans 💜💚💛

[@mj45240]

This eyelook is everything! You're so beautiful and talented! I hope everyone has a good day :)

[@nonilady1577]

Oh how interesting. Really enjoyed this! Knowing what you kept is really useful Thanks Mel! Have a wonderful day 💕💕💕

[@kimberleystewart5279]

These videos are also great because I get to learn about some brands I'm not as familiar with! Thanks, Mel.❤

[@lubazak636]

I like the platinum hair!! I LOVE the Tarte Trust, Lust and Fairydust, and not just for the packaging. I even bought a backup. I get complements when I wear that pallet. I know that you weren’t thrilled with it in the first place, but we all have different coloring in our skin and different tastes. I would never de clutter PatMcgrath, Natasha Denona or Viseart either. Love that Juvia’s Place violets mini pallet. That’s the only one of the mini’s I got. Haven’t tried it yet. Love all my Sydney Grace. Thanks for telling me about them. Glad you are feeling better.

[@JJBabbles]

I'm only 5mins in & you're just making me want to shop more 😂😂😂😘 I love the look of the Nabla palette! 💕

[@mackenziepurcell]

I love your channel and I love you, but this has to be the the funniest declutter I’ve ever seen! I know you’re a collector, but Mel girl! I swear you kept at least 5 nearly identical palettes in just about every category! My husband was in the background saying “she’s keeping that...she’s keeping that...she’s keeping that...” even before you said it. He was especially confused about all of the matte palettes you were keeping considering Viseart pretty much has them all covered. I have 700 bottles of nail polish, so I think he was projecting. But you do you! You have great taste 😍😍😍!

[@loralee3232]

Love watching declutter videos but I just love seeing all your eyeshadow palettes. I would love to see more!! 😊❤️

[@madelainekurtcobain6957]

Omg I’m literally first, so excited to finish this video and see everything you’re decluttering

[@RamiaRojas]

You picking up the entire drawer to show us, I was not expecting that 😂 ... you have a lot of palettes I haven’t seen before, nice collection! 🥰

[@elliehugo9]

omg the color of ur shirt and eye makeup looks soooooo amazing !!!!

[@Quit3Cut3]

Can you do a series on your single shadows? I’m curious to see what you have even if you break it down by colors.

[@kayaxyx9]

If I had so many paletts, I could never decide which one I use 😂 great video I really enjoyed to watch

[@tammyeaton4791]

The Stilazzi cool tones are GORGEOUS!!

And THAT day has come for Mel 😜 and I'm here for it! Doing that with my Art supplies...soooo hard!

[@lindamack7184]

I even love old declutters. RIP Mel! I miss you

[@tamarasparks8065]

I love Mel's channel, and have often thought we couldn't be more different. She is luxury and I am cf and more drugstore. Then she does a declutter like I do: keeping it, keeping that, keeping this...That is me, too!!!❤

[@BrownGirlBella]

So when you say “de clutter” do you mean send to Shannon’s house? Because...

Declutters are my favorite! Partly because I am a minimalist, but also because I just like looking at eyeshadow palettes 😁

[@Andyp1192]

I like how you weren't wasting your time and pretty much knew what you wanted to keep and declutter. Also, I didn't realize that you went back to blonde until halfway through the video.

[@Mytommyj22]

[@reneearnold3580]

Oh my goodness!!! The Manny MUA Makeup Geek palette review is how I first discovered you and your channel!!! Glad you decided to keep it!! 😊❤️

[@MrAshtonone]

I am right there with you Mel, I need to do this and it is high time I get to my palettes as I have avoided them. I have given away so much already, but I do need the space and I need to get the older stuff out so I can refresh with things I really want and will use. I may have to let go of my entire old school UD collection (before they were sold). xoxo Lynn

I've stalked the Melt Gun Metal stack for years but so many reviews saying the shimmer formula is so flakey and fallout is awful keeps me from buying. I have the She's in Parties stack and the the shimmers in that are smooth and easy to work with. What are your thoughts on how difficult the Gun Metal stack is to work with? I'm not a makeup beginner so I can work with a somewhat tricky formula and I only wear cool toned shadows so the grays are right up my alley!

[@saffycatamos]

Wow, that Urban Decay Cherry Pallette is GORGEOUS. That would have stayed in my drawer!

[@laurenjohnson9865]

Lynn Briggs that’s what I thought when I got it but it’s not that great unfortunately-the pigmentation just isn’t there so a lot of shades look the same and also my guess is most of them wouldn’t work on deeper skin tones. All of this made me very sad because Beijing opera is my makeup inspiration and red shadow is my favorite
