I only own 3 of Adept’s palettes; The Heather Austin, The Ninhydrin and The House of El, which are so divine…but to be honest I feel you should buy from Adept if you have your own mattes. I buy from them for the multi chrome, duochromes, and sparkly shades 😜

[@Ari_Kle]

I had to get the Minka as it looked so beautiful. I saw Patty Alonso use that first silvery shade and it was insane - not like the others in palette. I also have the Plain Jane palette. They are things of beauty.

[@veronicahayes2635]

Back when adept first came on the scene they sold magnetic palettes and single shadows. I bought the entire collection and they are beautiful. A few years after they came out with their first palette and people went wild over it. Meanwhile I had been enjoying the shadows for years

[@MartinaLily]

Oh yes I wish they still sold their singles! 💗💗

[@tigermilkkkk2199]

I REALLY wish they still sold their singles!!!!!!! seeing people play with their old, super sparkly, textured adept singles makes my heart cry😢😢

[@jenniferf8161]

Palette restocked 🎉heard it’s the final run. 😢amazing palette

[@gabrielanoll9078]

Both looks are gorgeous 🔥 Could you maybe do a pinned comment about how both of them wore for you. That would be really useful

[@aylalavigne5045]

Martina that green eye look was EVERYTHING GIRL! Loved it

[@MartinaLily]

Aw thank you! 💗💗

[@adeptcosmetics]

We can't decide which look is our favorite, they're both so beautiful. Thank you for trying our palettes out.

[@jessicarauch1525]

Super pretty looks!! I agree with you about Minka. It’s almost a little too sparkly!! The Heather Austin palette is just perfect! It’s a great mix of the color and neutrals. Only a few extra sparkly shades.

[@makeup561]

You looked phenomenal ❤❤ The look you created with Minka palette is my favorite!, I hope you do more looks with both palettes 💓💓

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you lovely 💗💗

[@TheTopNote]

Both looked beautiful but I have to say that neutral/gold look was 👌

[@mamabear8373]

This brand was a frustrating miss for me. The highs where so high but the lows where so low. The packaging is lovely. It felt high end. I purchased Plain Jane and some of the duo chomes in it where positively breathtaking, some of the very best. But half of the sparkle shadows had an odd texture to me. It was so odd I speculated that it would hard pan on me and it sure did. I had two shades that hard paned. It's not worth the money.

[@MartinaLily]

I can understand all of this for sure. It's definitely been an interesting brand to try out as the formulas are very different 💗💗

[@nallya9018]

Beautiful looks! I got the Minka and also don't like the texture that much. It's definitely not an everyday palette for me. I love the colors, but it's just too "glittery" and chunky. Selina and Linda on the bottom row of Minka are smoother and beautiful.

[@andreamarksberry345]

I LOVE Adept’s Multichromes! They’re honestly really great quality for a decent price, especially compared to other Indie multichromes. That green look you did is just lovely on you!!❤

[@coleoftheball]

I’m so intrigued by this brand but I’m with you in regards to shipping xx

[@starrgirl1429]

New subscriber. Love your channel, and I’m obsessed with adept, I have all of the palettes, 😘😘

[@jennifersmith6747]

Inspired is in stock now!

[@donnareed73]

Hi Martina I love Adept from the two palettes you have I like the inspired palette better only because I’m in love with their smooth shimmer formula. The Minka palette came out for the holidays so I think that’s the when and where they had in mind, the last two shimmer shades are that smooth formula that’s in the inspired.

[@MartinaLily]

Oh twins! I agree with you. When I think of Minka i think of the holidays so that makes sense to me 💗💗

[@ShaunnaBeauty]

I picked up the Arrow inspired pallet as I’m a huge Arrow fan so finally bit the bullet, but I hear you on Adept’s shipping, I live in Canada and it more than doubled the price of the pallet. Not to mention the exchange rate or customs fees.

[@MartinaLily]

Oh wow! That hurts and you are so close to America. I really want them to bring their shipping down 💗💗

[@Shivs628]

I have the Heather Austin collab and I absolutely adore it 💥

[@angeliarossett5934]

I got minka as soon as it arrived I got her 4 sisters straight away! Arrow was one of them. I just lucked out with another in the mail 🤪

[@emilycrowell4524]

Both looks are beautiful! I’ve yet to take the plunge on adept but they’ve been on my radar for a while! Good to know about the formulas bc I don’t think I would enjoy minkha formula as much as I do like the color story. But I’m a basic b as well and just want my neutrals with rose/mauves and greens mixed in!

[@MartinaLily]

Haha i feel you! 💗💗

[@ninac3779]

both beautiful, first one amazing

[@melina_m_makeup]

What gorgeous looks !!! Both are absolutely stunning and green is definitely your color! That grungy mustard greenish color is sooo nice! I love the nuetral look as well! Thank you so much for the shout out!! 🥰🥰🥰I've had so much fun creating looks with the Adept inspired palette! I agree, the Minka is chunky but I'm still glad I picked it up because either will most likely use for holiday looks or special occasions and I don't really have anything like it in my collection! I can't wait for their next release of the Seahorse palette and I think it will be the formula like the one in Inspired palette! Supposed to be released late spring early summer!

[@MartinaLily]

The mustard shade is sooo good! And I agree that Minka is perfect for special occasions. Thank you for helping me try them! 💗💗

[@melina_m_makeup]

@@MartinaLily your welcome!! Anytime!!!! 🥰

[@crystalmcmullin8118]

1st look is giving saint Patrick’s day & I’m loving it

[@mrs_moore]

I tried Adept for the first time last year with the Heather Austin palette and fell in love. Now I’m obsessed lol. That really sucks about the shipping for you but if you decide to try any others, I would definitely recommend Heathers palette and Ninhydrin palette!! You would LOVE!!

[@MartinaLily]

I definitely would like to try heathers palette as well 💗💗

[@LisaF_]

I haven’t gotten anything from Adept yet, but I had no idea they had such different formulas palette to palette. Such a good thing to know! It sounds like the Arrow inspired out of stock/discontinued one would be the one for me although the neutral look you created is undeniably gorgeous. With my hooded eyes, I’m sure I’d be a creasy mess in a few hours with the Minka palette, though. I’ve been super close to buying their Plain Jane palette several times, I’ve just never actually done it. The Plain Jane looks like it would have shimmers closer to the Arrow inspired palette-I think.

[@MartinaLily]

Its such a shame about the arrow palette cos the shades are so gorgeous! I do love the Minka but just for certain occasions 💗💗

[@kymmie1st]

Love the first palette look and yes for us in Oz that shipping is insane and make it a hard miss for me sadly 😥

[@DolceSuono9]

The Arrow palette is back! Probably the last release of it. I couldn’t help myself…! I found with the Star Trek palette that nyx glitter glue worked better than the intensifies.

[@vietus1040]

Trying Adept Cosmetics For The First Time!. Video has attractive content and attractive form. Watched the video March 15, 2023 . Thank you

[@jennifersmith6747]

As the palette is Arrow inspired the names are from the main character’s hit list . People who are evil and destroyed/destroying his city and had a hand in his fathers death.

[@laurenb859]

I love Melina. Beautiful looks. I asked if she could do photos to show the process of how the eyes look when applying the shadows. It's just the best. Love your videos Martina. ❤❤

[@MartinaLily]

Melina is amazing, completely agree! Thank you Lauren 💗💗

[@shawndickson2390]

I have got to have that pukey green brown yellow color! It’s incredible!!!!!

[@MartinaLily]

Love a pukey brown green! haha 💗💗

[@Anniilein1990]

Hi Martina 😊 i am completly with you on your comment: minka is kind of thick and not that easy to use. I have that Palette and what i found on everyday i do not like to have those shades on their own as metallics on my Lids. It is just a little bit too much. However what works for me is using a metallic shade that is a Little Bit too dull and ever soooo slightly use minka over the top. Then it is stunning

[@MartinaLily]

Oh thats a great tip, thank you Anna! 💗💗

[@notaninfluencer4882]

Drop dead gorgeous 😵

[@vaniacalveri9002]

I really hoped that you would express yourself on Adept Arrow Inspired

[@tiffnyskots1084]

You should try the Róen quads girl

[@MartinaLily]

Oh i want to but I heard they are not hooded eye friendly? 💗💗

[@nicolefraley7404]

I’m with you on the Minka pallet, I was sooo disappointed by how chunky the formula of all but 2 of the shimmers was… I thought it was going to be my dream neutral shimmer pallet. Is there some pallets you could recommend that are for neutral lovers (more warm than cool) that has a beautiful formula of shimmer duochromes?

[@MartinaLily]

I'm with you, its definitely my dream color story but not formula. I actually don't, not with duo chromes. Ill need to have a look round for one 💗💗

[@cccsssish]

Did you end up doing that Pat Mcgrath vs high shine indie video? I would really love to see it!

[@MartinaLily]

I didn't yet but it's defs still on my list xx

[@LocMaiden]

🖤

[@jsmith3021]

The owner is so rude she told me that she would refund me after that horrible mystery box. Then her customer service wouldn't send a prepaid return form and charged me a 20$ restocking after I was told they wouldn't. She also talked crap and had her followers go after me on Instagram.

[@MartinaLily]

Oh my god that is so horrible :( I really do not like hearing that and I'm sorry that happened to you 💗💗

[@QueerBones]

I’ve yet to try them because their constant discontinue/reformulation thing was annoying to me and feels unfair to the consumer base. I also have a lot of iffy feelings on brands making unlicensed IP palettes. I’ve also heard their shadows aren’t the best on oily lids and then minka had shea butter added making that even worse so it’s been easy to pass.

[@stefaniemezigian414]

The owner is also incredibly ableist and told disabled customers if her website wasn’t accessible, we can shop other brands and it’s not for us. She semi backtracked after outrage, but never gave a true apology to the customers she lashed out at. I’ll never purchase from this brand

[@blove9199]

I hate glitter too it just ruins your looks and is so messy.

[@melissapuppe4104]

Pat mcgrath has nothing on adept cosmetics. They’re special shades are out of this world.

[@amynoonan4236]

You had me until "pukey, brownie, greeny color! 😲

[@MartinaLily]

😂😂😂 in a good way! haha 💗💗
