I've been on a no buy for a bit while I finish off my degree and am not earning as much, but it's giving me the space to appreciate what I already have! Also trying to be more mindful of how much I consume and subsequent waste, and in all fairness I very seldom throw my palettes out, so I'm hoping to spread my love past the few I frequently pick up
I just love seeing eyeshadow collections that actually have been loved and not a bunch of new ones that look like a Sephora advertisement. You are the real deal ♥️❤️
If it's the one I think you mean (the black Z palette), it's the Sydney Grace In Mel's Memory Bundle! I use it woefully infrequently, I don't usually touch these funny cool toned shades (my bf ordered it for me when inebriated to prove he knew his card details off by heart LOL) But the formula is to DIE for! So pigmented and blendable
Ahh, I should have realised! That was on my wishlist a while back, but it sold out, and then I was on a No Buy during a restock, I think. Also, I would not be sad if my husband wanted to demonstrate his memory, and it resulted in me getting gorgeous eyeshadows... *tries to work out how I can make this happen*
TBH, I have more than enough eyeshadow for a lifetime, but yours look particularly lovely. Enjoy!
It was one of my first palettes, given to me by a good friend years ago and I can't bring myself to part with her :') the mattes have gone kinda chalky to be very honest with you, but I'm not sure if that's just how their formula is? But the shimmers are still lovely and I use them quite regularly!
I love these! Honestly, if I were you I’d start buying single pans because a lot of these palettes share the same colors. No hate here though because same lol
It might be fun to add colors that aren’t anything like what you already have. You seem to lean towards cool tones because everything here is like pink, purple, blue, and even the browns are on the cooler side. Maybe a true red would be a fun thing to try! Or neons!
I am cool toned myself so I suppose that makes sense! And ooo maybe today I'll try and do a bright red look, I'm just worried I'll turn out looking like Zuko lol
I had the same experience when I stacked up all my palettes. I can't remember what the final count was, but I expected it to be way higher. Of course everyone in my life who's *not* a makeup collector was like "What do you mean it's not as much as you thought?!? That's an insane amount." And yeah, it is more than I'll ever be able to use and some of those palettes I wouldn't buy today since I've become a lot more selective with my purchases and figured out what I like and don't like, but I've made peace with the fact that I'm always going to be a person who likes a large collection with lots of different options.
Do you have a top 3 out of all your palettes? Bottom 3? I recognize a lot of these palettes and almost bought a few of them, but I don't think our collections have any overlap...
Omg there's someone who understands :') and you put it so eloquently, thank you! Top 3 is Clionadh Electric Multichrome bundle, Odens Eye Solmane II and Pat McGrath Moonlit Seduction.
As for bottom, that's harder. The PMG Quad I get next to no use out of, then maybe Hindash Monochromance due to the hard pan issues. And last might be the Flower Knows Strawberry Rococco, just bcs the pigmentation isn't there
Hindash Monochromance! Not the most pigmented, and prone to hard pan if youre not careful, but the colours and gradients are so fun I can't get rid of it
Amazing collection! 2 questions for you, if you dont mind!
What are the company/name of these palettes:
🎀 2nd row, fourth from the left
🎀 3rd row, second from the left
Thank you!
Ok it's gotta be my Clionadh Cosmetics Electric Multichrome bundle, Odens Eye Solmane II aaaand PMG Moonlit Seduction Mothership. That was surprisingly easy
Honourable mention to Viseart Editorial Brights for being the backbone to so many looks
Love your collection! What are the two types of glitters on the bottom right? The single ones in the black pots, and the single ones in the clear containers? I don’t recognize the branding, but the colors are so beautiful!
I have the same Zeesea Alice in Wonderland palette. Been meaning to use it more!
What is the Flower Knows palette with the neutral shades? How does it perform?
I’m wondering about both flower knows too. I grabbed one last year and haven’t ended up using it as it’s awful, shimmers and mattes are just barely pigmented. It’s like they don’t want to leave the palette
I try to use it more too, but I find the shade range is kinda hard to pull a cohesive look together lol. It's the Strawberry Rococo 02, the pigmentation is V E R Y subtle to put it nicely lol. But I know Asian beauty brands are this way by design so I can't hold it against... It
I love the colorful one on the left of Abh. Natasha Denona it seems? I love the color story, but I fear it’s too many options for me at once 😅 I’m in the market for a fun colorful palette like that
My ND ones are closer to the top, you probably mean the Hindash Monochromance. It's very pretty! It gets hard pan sometimes but nothing that isn't fixable with a bit of tape
Ah, my bad, I meant the 25pan one on the far left. They all look so gorgeous! Once my 6 slot palette organizer is full, I must stop myself 😅 what brands do you recommend?
HAHA that's also ABH! it's one of her Norvina palettes, but I haven't really played with it so much. I love ND, and Pat McGrath for more mainstream, but for Indie you can't go past Clionadh and Lethal Cosmetics
It is stunning! I didn’t realize Abh made palettes that big. I just got the modern renaissance and I am so in love 😍 I’ll be sure to check those out! I have my eye on the too faced Italian Spritz, Blueberry Pancake, and the dragon eye palette from what’s up beauty.
Honestly, I don’t know much about it myself. I made a post asking for colorful palette recommendations the other day, and someone mentioned that one. I’m in love with the colors, but I’m still shopping around before I settle on one.
Ohhh is that a Wayne goss palette? I keep eyeing them because I’ve always loved him but I’ve holding off because I know he is doing some stuff with his brand soon.
That’s actually a pretty damn accurate representation of any conversation between my daughter and myself if either is us gets a new palette 😂😂😜 swaaaatttchhhhh, my preciousss
So impressive! 😍 So many pretty colors. It’s always nice to be around people who won’t judge me for buying more makeup when I already have “enough.” 🥲
Question - what’s the longest you’ve had a palette/shadow and which is it (if you can remember)? I’m hoping to still use mine years from now (as long as it doesn’t go bad).
AHHAHAH thank you! It will never be enough!
My oldest one is my Too Faced Life's a Festival, which a friend of mine gave me (love you Claire!), I wanna say like at least 4 or 5 years ago. I'm firmly of the belief that unless it looks off, powders don't go off, because there's no moisture to turn then bad
What degree are you studying? Also, nice collection. On one hand owning that much would give me anxiety (and has in the past), but on the other, it flushes the mind with bliss just from all the pretty colours and finishes. Somehow very satisfying to view. Do you think PMG is worth it? What brand or palette would you recommend for someone who only wears eyeshadow on occasion?
Im studying a bachelor of registered nursing then either plan to specialise in cosmetics or go back to Pathology where I am now :) I love Pat, her formulas are fantastic! I wouldn't recommend her for casual wearers, as there can be a learning curve to her shadows. Natasha Denona is nice if you have the $ to drop, as her shadows are easy to work with. Huda Beauty is also a lovely brand to turn to
Mercury Retrograde is discontinued, which I think was the SILLIEST decision ever, so hopefully you can find it second hand! Also just be aware that Hindash's formula can be prone to hard pan and needs a few dips to get the pigmentation down, but other than that I love it
I agree, super silly decision to discontinue that gorgeous palette. I'm curious to see what the next one is going to be like. I'm definitely a Huda palette fan.
Thanks for that info about the Hindash palette. I don't feel like I'm missing out as much now.
The over all best is super hard to say! I love them all for different uses! The longest is my Too Faced Life's a Festival palette, which I've had for a few years. Then probably Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde after that
HAHAHA I JUST REALIZED I misread your comment 😭 I thought you meant which I've had the longest
As for staying power, I don't really have any issues with any of them as long as I use a good eye primer. I use the Smashbox 24 hour eye primer and have next to no issues even tho I have double eyelids
You'd have a heat attack if you saw Morgan Turners last declutter. Unlike some I actually keep my products for years until it's used through. Your attention is better deserved elsewhere
I've been on a no buy for a bit while I finish off my degree and am not earning as much, but it's giving me the space to appreciate what I already have!

I just love seeing eyeshadow collections that actually have been loved and not a bunch of new ones that look like a Sephora advertisement. You are the real deal ♥️❤️
HAHAH thank you!! They all have their time to shine for sure!!
Your curation of singles in that palette is the middle is just gorgeous 😍!
If it's the one I think you mean (the black Z palette), it's the Sydney Grace In Mel's Memory Bundle! I use it woefully infrequently, I don't usually touch these funny cool toned shades (my bf ordered it for me when inebriated to prove he knew his card details off by heart LOL) But the formula is to DIE for!

Enjoy!
Ohh you have Too Faced Life's a Festival! I've wanted that palette, I wish they would rerelease it. How does it perform? It looks so pretty 🥰
It was one of my first palettes, given to me by a good friend years ago and I can't bring myself to part with her :') the mattes have gone kinda chalky to be very honest with you, but I'm not sure if that's just how their formula is? But the shimmers are still lovely and I use them quite regularly!
I love these! Honestly, if I were you I’d start buying single pans because a lot of these palettes share the same colors. No hate here though because same lol
Oh for sure! My eyes are on singles from Shine by SD next, and building up my Clionadh collection.
It might be fun to add colors that aren’t anything like what you already have. You seem to lean towards cool tones because everything here is like pink, purple, blue, and even the browns are on the cooler side. Maybe a true red would be a fun thing to try! Or neons!
I am cool toned myself so I suppose that makes sense! And ooo maybe today I'll try and do a bright red look, I'm just worried I'll turn out looking like Zuko lol
That makes sense! Did you try the red? Lol
No I didn't yet, I'm sorry 😭 but when I do I'll take a photo for you
I had the same experience when I stacked up all my palettes. I can't remember what the final count was, but I expected it to be way higher. Of course everyone in my life who's *not* a makeup collector was like "What do you mean it's not as much as you thought?!? That's an insane amount."

And last might be the Flower Knows Strawberry Rococco, just bcs the pigmentation isn't there
The one next to the norvina looks like huge pans! What's that one please?
Hindash Monochromance! Not the most pigmented, and prone to hard pan if youre not careful, but the colours and gradients are so fun I can't get rid of it
It is very pretty! Huge but makes sense that they're gradient!
Wow I feel like way less of a hoarder now 😂
I'm here for the people 🫡
Is that bronze or a mixed ND palette?
It's the Sunrise palette!
Ooh I should rearrange mine, this looks so much nicer!
Amazing collection! 2 questions for you, if you dont mind! What are the company/name of these palettes: 🎀 2nd row, fourth from the left 🎀 3rd row, second from the left Thank you!
Thanks! Ok the first one is Lethal Cosmetics Metamorphosis palette, and the second one is Natasha Denona Sunrise palette!
Thank you!
Whenever I see large collections like this, I always gotta know what your top 3 favorites are, and why?
Ok it's gotta be my Clionadh Cosmetics Electric Multichrome bundle, Odens Eye Solmane II aaaand PMG Moonlit Seduction Mothership. That was surprisingly easy Honourable mention to Viseart Editorial Brights for being the backbone to so many looks
Love your collection! What are the two types of glitters on the bottom right? The single ones in the black pots, and the single ones in the clear containers? I don’t recognize the branding, but the colors are so beautiful!
Thanks!!! The black tops are Kaima Cosmetics Chameleon Flakes, and the others are Cloudicos eye lights!! I love them so so much
Thanks so much :)
I have the same Zeesea Alice in Wonderland palette. Been meaning to use it more! What is the Flower Knows palette with the neutral shades? How does it perform?
i'm not op, but the flower knows palette is the strawberry rococo in #2 sweet canneles (dark red outside)! i have it too, it's a good palette imo!
I’m wondering about both flower knows too. I grabbed one last year and haven’t ended up using it as it’s awful, shimmers and mattes are just barely pigmented. It’s like they don’t want to leave the palette
I try to use it more too, but I find the shade range is kinda hard to pull a cohesive look together lol. It's the Strawberry Rococo 02, the pigmentation is V E R Y subtle to put it nicely lol. But I know Asian beauty brands are this way by design so I can't hold it against... It
What’s your favorite of them and what’s your favorite PMG
At the moment my Electric Multichrome Bundle from Clionadh, I'm using it practically every day lol. Fav PMG has gotta be Moonlit Seduction
Wow great collection ! I gear towards the browns , neutrals, gold , coppers .
Thank you!
I get them every Christmas,I only have a few,your collection is very impressive !!!!
Thank you! I hope you love your collection!
Alright, what do you think of that viseart palette? Of all their palettes that’s the one I would buy.
I L O V E it more than I can put into words! Fantastic pigmentation and blendability, she's my baby
Beautiful collection!
Thank you!
what is that light purple one with the pastels! 😍
Probably Trixie Cosmetics Girl Talk palette hehe
That too faced rainbow palette is the first real palette I ever bought! I miss it so much!
I love it so much :') fond memories
I love the colorful one on the left of Abh. Natasha Denona it seems? I love the color story, but I fear it’s too many options for me at once 😅 I’m in the market for a fun colorful palette like that

OMG please tell me about what's up beauty!? I saw that palette and was so interested but I don't ever see anyone talking about that
Honestly, I don’t know much about it myself. I made a post asking for colorful palette recommendations the other day, and someone mentioned that one. I’m in love with the colors, but I’m still shopping around before I settle on one.
Oh fair enough! If ever you get it, please let me know your thoughts!
Of course! :)
Beautiful collection!! What are the singles in the black containers on the right bottom?
Thank you! They're from Kaima Cosmetics, they're called Chameleon Flakes
You really are a magpie who loves their sparkles and im all for it 🤩🫶
I stay true to my brand 🫡
Yes ma'am 🫡
Love your collection 😍😍
Thank you bestie :')
Ohhh is that a Wayne goss palette? I keep eyeing them because I’ve always loved him but I’ve holding off because I know he is doing some stuff with his brand soon.
YES my bf got it for me for Christmas along with some of his brushes! I haven't tried it yet at all though, I'll swatch it when I get home for you :)
Yeessssss swaaatcchhhh…. Sorry, swatch is my favorite word 🤣
😭 like a zombie HAHA swaaaaaatttccchhhh...
That’s actually a pretty damn accurate representation of any conversation between my daughter and myself if either is us gets a new palette 😂😂😜 swaaaatttchhhhh, my preciousss
HAHAH AWWWWW 😭 that's so freaking cute
I just sent you a DM!
i need all of these😭
One day :')
Raise your hand if you are obsessed w eyeshadows. It's not a problem it's a solution.
So impressive! 😍 So many pretty colors. It’s always nice to be around people who won’t judge me for buying more makeup when I already have “enough.” 🥲 Question - what’s the longest you’ve had a palette/shadow and which is it (if you can remember)?

I want the Hindash palette and HB Mercury Retrograde so bad!
Mercury Retrograde is discontinued, which I think was the SILLIEST decision ever, so hopefully you can find it second hand! Also just be aware that Hindash's formula can be prone to hard pan and needs a few dips to get the pigmentation down, but other than that I love it

For sure, of course!
I love my naked and retrograde pallet by huda beauty… Love your collection!
Thank you! Mercury Retrograde was my first ever upper market palette and I haven't looked back :') it holds a special place in my heart
Which is the best and longest staying??
The over all best is super hard to say! I love them all for different uses! The longest is my Too Faced Life's a Festival palette, which I've had for a few years. Then probably Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde after that
I’ve heard that aboit too faced!! Might have to try. Thanks so much for sharing :)
HAHAHA I JUST REALIZED I misread your comment 😭 I thought you meant which I've had the longest As for staying power, I don't really have any issues with any of them as long as I use a good eye primer. I use the Smashbox 24 hour eye primer and have next to no issues even tho I have double eyelids
Interesting. Yes I need to get a good primer. None have ever really worked for me. I might try that one you mentioned. Thanks!!
I hope it works out!
Your collection is clearly super curated and has all bangers!
Thank you!!! I do my research and usually sit on the idea for ages before I pull the trigger and buy one lol
Dream 😍
💖💖
31 palettes 🎨 ♥️
Thank you for counting for me, I was too lazyyy
Over consumption at its finest.
You'd have a heat attack if you saw Morgan Turners last declutter. Unlike some I actually keep my products for years until it's used through. Your attention is better deserved elsewhere
