Wanna hear a silly thought? The main reasons I like declutters is for the fact that if they get rid of something I never owned, I can justify never getting it. 😅As far as your giveaway question. I think it's nicer to have more winners than one big winner, although for the person winning I'm sure they'd prefer a big jackpot LOL But yeah, I think more winners makes more people happy. :)

Thanks, Chris! I also prefer the idea of having more than one winner. I have at least three palettes to giveaway (4 if I get Cold Brew from Kaleidos) and I'm excited to see who wins them!

I could listen to you talk about eyeshadow palettes forever

This is the very first video of yours i have watched. I know its old, but i love declutters lol. I just want to tell you that i appreciate you sharing your palettes with your son as well as your daughter. I have a little 4 year old boy who has to do his make up with mama all the time . Its so fun to watch him express himself through color. Although it can be hard to keep his grubby little fingers away from mama's good palettes 🤣

If a shades to dark for transition I use a bigger fluffier brush and it works on my light skin tone.

New subscriber. I just found your channel looking for types/ brands of eyeshadow pallettes. I love the way you work out keeping them or letting go. I had to laugh, you and I have the same vocabulary 😉😉😉 Thank you for sharing all of these with us. 😊

This was so enjoyable to watch, not only for seeing your palettes, but your lovely voice and manner! I'm a Pat McGrath and Clionadh fan! I will say the Motherships are where it's at for me.

Smaller giveaway, I agree! I have bought so much less eyeshadow this year than the last 2 years. I am proud of myself but there are still palettes I wish I had! Trying to use and love my collection too it can be tough since things are so beautiful now!

Totally love your thought process during this declutter! Full of sense, haha! Nice video!

I totally forgot I had Stones and Rocks until you pulled them out! Lolololol. Love that one!

I’m with you on ABH, I won’t be purchasing anything in the future but I’ll be keeping the palettes I have until they are panned or unusable! Xx

I bought the LEAST LIKED palette NOT KNOWING it was AND it is all shimmers! I may have swatched each color once or twice :(. In the meantime I bought a ton of Jeffree Stars and then catapulted into Glamlite, Ace Beaute, Odens Eye as well as Ensley Reign.

Anastasia Beverly Hills/Jackie Aina pallete is a favorite of mine. Credit and lituation are amazing together....I do an ombre look😊

I still have my love in London, Hangin’ in Hawaii, lost in Los Angeles & avocado toast love & use them

I absolutely love that I found your channel! Your honesty is absolutely wonderful!

I love watching a declutters so much! I’ve been filming mine recently and having so much fun doing them ❤

I did a hard declutter a while back. There are a few stores (Walmart & smaller drug stores) that take the packaging to recycle. I take all my containers (dry, not 100% clean) to those bins. Check your area. I’d depotted quite a few palettes (Lorac, Tarte, Urban Decay) thinking I’d use them more if they were in one place 😜 🙄 but I made myself use them since the summer and have used up a bunch of the shades. I like more smaller give-aways vs one big one. I enjoy your ‘week of makeup’ videos. It’s like we’re having a coffee & a catch up! #notastalker 😂

I feel the same way about doing giveaways on my channel. I never announce it because I want someone who actually wants to be there to win.

Try a dense natural hair stippling brush for the ND cream to powder formulas. I love love my Rephr brushes. #4,5,17,31 for face. I use #12 to lay Down eyeshadow or my singe brushes I watched Angie NyQuest how she used her brushes for he cream to powder just suggesting. I prefer my Mel’s memory bundle from Sydney Grace over retro Glam.

Oh my! Didn't want to purchase anything in the near future, but then I saw that green Odens Eye Palette... I had to get it - it looks like the perfect green palette I'm looking for for years now. And I think the smaller giveaways would be nicer.

I'd like more, and smaller, giveaways. I use the Danessa Myrics Groundworks putty shades with my fingers. They work well as bases for drier shimmers. It compliments the DM Lightworks palette quite well. The formulas mix better than when I use, say, a high-content shea butter Adept palette with DM Groundworks. They also work for the face using fingers with a light hand.

Dear Kara, may I suggest you try that BH november palette with the yellows and the brown? I know that exact color combination is going to be perfect for/on you! Also, the two Oden's Eye palettes you haven't used yet - I would try and combine them - cool toned grey and that bright warm green should make a great contrast to each other and also compliment your eyes, BUT I know it sounds like too much :D I would not blend them together, just some packing at the outer corner and all over the lid kinda thing.

Yeah this is true but when it comes to the special shades you still have to know how to use them. I was so annoyed the first few/ or more times I used them. You have to use glitter glue or pat intensify sticks otherwise an hour later there won’t be shadow on your lids.

Keep those last two Oden’s Eye Palettes (Jewels and Gems and Stone and Rock). They were, imho, the best Oden’s Eye release!

They're so beautiful. I've worn Jewels and Gems so far and am kicking myself for not even realizing I had such pretty palettes in the drawer!

Oh man I LOVE the Groundwork palette!! No, I never use my fingers. I use any brush. I don’t have any real expensive brushes. I usually use ones that came in palettes. Nothing special, some Sigma which I like. I apply the cream and then go over it with the powder. If you tightline or put liner in your water line try lining with the cream there. You can even add powder there. You’ll be amazed by the wear time. I color correct with it. It’s a very forgiving formula. I was very skeptical since I’m so fair and cool toned and it works great! Don’t be afraid to put the green or orange on your face. If you have dark circles buff in the orange shade. If you have red splotches put the green shade on it. It looks dark in the pan but it’s a beautiful formula that can blend out and you can put foundation over it if you want but it’s not necessary.

I totally agree about Natasha Denona; I love her colorstories and quality, but the cream to powder formula is not my favorite.

Pat McGrath's first 6 Motherships are honestly great. I don't know if they are worth the price tag, but that's for the consumer to decide. Since she took on investors, the eye shadow palettes have declined, both in quality of the shadows, and even more in packaging. Honestly, so cheap now. I have stopped buying from PML. As for giveaways, I like smaller and many over one big win!
