MAKEUP DECLUTTER: EYESHADOW PALETTES Small & Large || Tania B Wells

Hello guys and welcome today. I am continuing my declutter series and we're going to go through eyeshadows. Now. I have to clutter a lot of eyeshadows. I'm going to say six months ago seven months ago and I've kept the ones that I kind of felt attached to and the small palettes. I love small palettes and I have a feeling that I'm not going to declutter a ton of those but I can see myself decluttering quite a bit of the bigger ones. So grab something to drink hang out with me and let's get started. Here are all my big eyeshadow palettes and I am thinking that I'm going to do sections. So I'm going to do the Natasha Denon palettes the Pat McGrath the smaller ones and kind of organize it that way and declutter it because if I just pull things I think it'd be hard for me to decide what I want to keep and what I don't. Now, I don't reach for big eyeshadow palettes anymore. I love my small little palettes. I see a couple that are small here, but you'll see how the clutter things that I actually really love but I just don't reach for them and I have a lot of people that I think would enjoy and appreciate them. So let me organize this real quick. I've decided to torture myself and start with my Pat McGrath palettes and I was really debating if I want to get rid of any should I just keep them collect them but some of these it's been years since I've touched them and it just feels wrong. So I want to get rid of some these are special palettes. I mean, it's pretty much art as you can see here, but at the same time most of these were kept in a drawer and I think a lot of other people could enjoy them. So let's start with a Mothership 10. I think this is my favorite one and the one I'm a hundred percent going to keep. Yeah, this is my favorite one. I'm keeping even this is a lot of color for me and a lot of sparkle, but I do love this one. Let's see here. We have Mothership 3. I don't remember the names anymore. So let's see. Oh, I actually really like this one as well. I love this color right here. I love that it has the black. I love the brown as well. The only one I don't like is this color right here. But what I do I usually put it on top of another color. So let's say we have the black all like sprinkle a little bit of this color on top or if I have the lavender or purple, you know, you can even add a little bit on top and it makes it a little bit more gray as you can see right here. So I do like this one again. I think that that one can be used and I'm thinking I want to keep this one. I'm going to put it right here though to see all the other ones here. We have Mothership 7 or Divine Rose. I think this was a classic pretty much everybody had it and it is a beautiful palette, but I have not reached for it in a long time and I'm actually thinking of decluttering it. I love this one right here, but I do have it in another palette, which I love more. You'll see. Yeah, I think I'm decluttering this one. I think with these I'm actually going to be intentional to who I'm going to give these palettes because they are so expensive. They're so beautiful and I do I don't know. I want them to go to a good home to somebody that would really appreciate them. This is Mothership 8 Divine Rose 2. This is going to go away. There's just too many colors. It's beautiful packaging though, and I do need that insert. I actually just saw it around here. Here it is. Goes right in there. I think people may be confused why I'm going to get rid of the Simple Divine Rose and that is because I have a lot of palettes that look very similar to this that are just smaller and I can carry them and travel with them easier and I just haven't gotten used out of this one. When I worked as a makeup artist that was probably one of my most used palettes from Pat McGrath. So it is a great one. It's just not one that I reach for. This is Mothership 9 Utopian Dream and this was a fun one. Look at these colors. Oh my gosh, that looks beautiful. Actually that sucks. I don't like that one. But besides that I think they're all really pretty and I want to swatch this one. Oh my gosh, look at that. That one's very crumbly, but the rest are nice, but I'm going to get rid of I'm not going to use it and I think some people would love it. This one is the Midnight Sun. I am a hundred percent keeping this one. It is one of my favorites from them. The Mothership 10 is my number one. But the Midnight Sun is so good. These colors are so wearable for me. I love this one, which is also in Divine Rose 1 and that's why I'm letting go of that one because this color was my favorite from there and I have it here. My hand is wet. So I feel very comfortable keeping this and letting go of the other one. Also, I really like the mattes in this one. This is a beautiful palette. Next we have my first ever Pat McGrath. This is Mothership 5 Bronze Seduction. Packaging is kind of destroyed, but I will tape it. The only packaging that I kept in my entire makeup collection is this one from Pat McGrath because I think it's again art and you can also distinguish the palettes a little bit better. But let's look at this one. Oh man, I use this one so much. I love this color right here. It's this beautiful rose gold color. Look at that one. Let's swatch this one as well. That's very red. I don't reach for that one. But I think I've used this one probably the most because I've had it the longest. I'm not sure what to do with this one. I kind of feel like I could declutter it. Maybe I'm emotionally attached to this one. This color is very interesting, but it does hard pan. But it is a really interesting beautiful color. I do like the mattes in this one as well. This one's a maybe. Let me put it here with the other one that I'm not sure and we'll see how many I keep at the end. Let's go for Mothership 2 Sublime. This one has a really pretty green in it. Yeah, this one's really pretty as well. More wearable and this has the old formula from Pat McGrath. The one that was really special. That is such a smooth color. I also really do like the simple ones and this feels so much creamier than her other formulas like the newer ones. This feels like a better palette. Let me put this one here and open this one. And let's see what I think about it. Oh my gosh. I love this one. I'm keeping this one and I'm going to get rid of this one. I think this is a stunning palette super unique. This blue here is absolutely heavenly. Look at that. Yeah, I'm keeping this looking at these palettes side by side. I don't want to keep both and I think I'm going to go for this one. I think I pretty much could use every single color. This one is the only one that I don't love but I can make it work and then I don't use a red. This one's just a little harder to work with. It's not super special. This one is hard pan. I do love the toppers, but you'll see Natasha Denona. I do have some topper that does very similar things as these maybe that one that one's quite special, but I do think that I have something like that from Natasha Denona. And the reason I loved this palette so much is this shade right here. This is the most beautiful shade in my opinion from Pat McGrath, but I don't want to keep a whole palette just for one shade. So yeah, I think I'm decluttering this and keeping this one. These are the four that I am keeping honestly, even this seems excessive these two. I'm probably never going to get rid of these are my two favorite ones. I do love the blue and the cool tones in this one. And this is just fun. So I feel good about this, but I am decluttering five of them keeping four. Let's move on to these we have Danessa Myricks. I absolutely love these palettes, but I will declutter this one. It's not that I don't love it. It's just I don't use it enough and these are creams and they will go bad and my sister started makeup school. So I think this would be perfect for her. It's a great palette for makeup artists and not only but especially for makeup artists. So I'm declaring this. I will keep this one. I love this palette so much and I've got quite a lot of use out of it. But if she comes over and she's in need of a palette like this, I will give it to her but I do love this palette and I feel like I can use it so many different ways. So I am keeping this one. These YSL palettes. They are amazing quality and I think for a makeup artist, these are some of the best palettes out there. The quality is amazing. You have different formulas and tones and you can mix and match. So I am decluttering them because they're going to go to my sister. These are amazing. I have here four Hang Van Go and I actually have more of them. They're just brand new in a box. I didn't even touch them. They're very colorful. So I'm not even going to open them. I'm just going to give them to whoever wants them. So let's open these and see what we got here. I already know that I'm keeping the mom not this one, but maybe that one too. That looks beautiful. This one this I'm a hundred percent keeping this is the neutral new neutral beautiful color story. I love the formula. It's amazing. It's something that I reach for. I'm going to get rid of these color stories just because I don't reach for them. And then this one actually debating keeping this. What do I have enough? It swatches really nice, but I think I'm going to get rid of it. I have so many palettes that look very similar to this. So I'm just going to keep the new neutral. We have one mob palette here. And the reason I'm keeping this is for this shade right here. I may just take it out and put it in a smaller palette or a palette that I already have from mob. I do love all the shades, but this is magical right here. So I just want this shade not necessarily everything else. I'll see if I have any other mob palettes that I could insert this one in but yeah, I love that color next. We have a palette that I am a hundred percent keeping this is side by side by Nabla. This is one of the best palettes out there. You have so many options here. They're still very neutral. This is very loved. Yeah, I absolutely love this palette and it's what I reach for then we have for Patrick Ta palettes and you guys know I've been obsessed with the smaller eyeshadow palettes from Patrick Ta. I think they are absolutely amazing. It's all I've been reaching for and I would like to say that this is brand new. Okay, this one hasn't been swatched at all. So I'm not going to swatch it. I'm going to gift it to somebody. I'm keeping the mattes. I love a good matte palette and I think I'm decluttering this one. It's been used a lot. It's probably expired honestly by now. Yeah, I'm keeping the mattes getting rid of the other two. I do have here a small collection of the Huda Beauty. Let's start with a grunge palette. I'm decluttering this one. It's just very intense and I don't reach for it. Then we have the Icy Nude. That's actually beautiful pretty much brand new though. Let's see the Rose Quartz who actually loved this palette. I think I'm going to get rid of the Icy Nude and keep the Rose Quartz. There's just so many beautiful interesting colors in here that maybe I don't have maybe I have now. I really like that. Last one is this Charlotte Tilbury palette. These mattes right here are the best mattes I've ever tried. They are so good. They're almost like a cream formula to powder. Absolutely amazing. I want these by themselves. I don't need all these other colors. They are pretty don't get me wrong, but it was limited edition. It's not like I can use it on camera. It can get a little frustrating for you. So I may declutter this one even though I love the mattes so much. This is what we have left besides the Natasha Denona palettes. Makeup by Mario and Tati Beauty. This is going away. It's just been a long time. It's discontinued. It was fun while it lasted but I don't reach for it. Now. I love the Makeup by Mario palettes. This one's my favorite. It's the original one ethereal eyes and I really do like the new one. So I'm going to keep both of these but I will declutter the cool tone. This is just not my color story. They're quite cool tone and I haven't reached for it. I remember doing a couple looks that I truly loved but I just don't reach for it. So this is a declutter and these are the other two matte colors from him and I'm keeping them both. These are just a staple and now the hardest part my Natasha Denona palettes and I have the vanity makeup here, but there's a couple palettes under each. I just wanted to do them all at the same time. So let's get into it. We have vanity makeup first. This is such a good palette. I've had it for quite some time and I'm thinking of decluttering. Let's swatch it and see how it feels. Man. He feels so good. This is an amazing palette and I do like the toppers as well. Just feel like I have so many. This is a maybe I kind of want to keep it but I'm going to put it right here and see how many I keep from Natasha Denona. Let's start with the star palette which has been my prized possession for a very long time and I've been attached to this palette since I bought it. I remember saving my money for it. I have loved this palette so much, but I think it's time for it to retire. I've had it for a long time and I just don't reach for it. But wow, this made me fall in love with Natasha Denona. Then we have the new eyesculpt texture palettes. These are actually amazing and I think I'm going to keep both. There's one that's more cool tone and just lighter and then deeper colors. Think I'm going to keep I'm definitely keeping the dark one this one. I'm going to put it aside right here with my vanity makeup, but I love this one so much. So this is staying next. We have the glam face palette man. I love this palette so much, but I'm going to declutter it. I have these colors over and over again. This color right here is just amazing. What a beautiful color. But again, I've had it for a while and I have so many other palettes. Another one is the Natasha Denona bronze palette. I thought I already decluttered this one. Maybe it slipped back in but I will declutter this one. It's not that I don't like it. I actually like it and it works really well with my color story, but I just have not reached for it. Natasha Denona Biba. I'm keeping this one. I still love it after all these years. I feel like it's an amazing palette. Mine is absolutely destroyed as you can see, but I don't care. I love it. Another one that has been a love in my collection is the gold palette. And this is where I have a lot of different texture that I had in my Pat McGrath palette. And dare I say, I like these even more. Like the colors are just better in my opinion. And I'm definitely keeping this. This is my favorite. Actually my number two from Natasha Denona. I love the Biba first and then this one second. I think it's so good. I do see myself keeping more of the Natasha Denona ones rather than the Pat McGrath just because they're more neutral and a little bit more wearable. Let's spread these out just to see what we have left. Okay, this is the rest. I'm going to start with this one because it's so shiny. I think it's going to reflect on camera. This is the golden palette and I love this one so much. Very similar to the bigger one, just more muted. And I think the colors are amazing. You get beautiful kind of topper shades. Yeah, this is a great, great palette. Next we have my dream palette. Man, I used to love this palette so much. But I'm going to declutter it. I haven't reached for it in at least a year. Then we have, let's look at this retro palette. Remember this being quite fun. Yeah, look at these colors. Do I reach for these colors? Absolutely not. Man, the quality is so good in these. I'm actually quite loving these swatches. And I also feel like I don't have these colors. So I'm keeping this one palette that I think will shock you guys that I'm going to keep is the pastel palette and I'm only keeping this one for my kids because they're going to have times when they want to play with some color or they want to wear something bright and pink or pastel or blue. So I'm keeping this for them, not for me. So yeah, I already have this. I wouldn't spend my money on it again, but I will keep this for the kids. Now we have I think some pretty hard choices here. We have the I need a warm and I need a nude here and then the glam palette. Actually, let's open this one as well because I feel like we have quite similar colors here. I'm just looking at the different textures from different palettes. Wow, that's beautiful. I do remember loving this palette. I'm absolutely keeping that one. The swatches there look amazing. Let me test these out and see this color right here. It's so beautiful. It's that one right there. Like how stunning is that color all over the lid? I actually think I'm going to keep all of these. I think they're so stunning. I will get rid of the vanity makeup just because I have everything I need in these Natasha Denon palettes and I kind of had a feeling I would keep quite a few of the the Natasha Denon palettes. They're just so beautiful. The colors are amazing and the formula is just top-notch and that is it. I actually think I have to clutter quite a bit. Let me get it all together. These are all the big palettes that I kept and I feel very happy with this. I think eventually I will declutter some more Natasha Denona palettes. I just have so many and I know I won't go through them, but I already have them. I think the quality is amazing. The colors are perfect for me and I want to keep them. But yeah, I really think I decluttered maybe 60% of my big palettes and I feel very happy about that. These are all my smaller eyeshadow palettes and this is where my love is. This and the single shadows which we're going to do in a different video that would take forever and I'm attached to 90% of this. I was able to get rid of quite a lot of my big palettes because I'm just not reaching for them that much but these I actually reached for and yeah, let's see what what we can do. Let's start with my Chanel palettes. Most of these I think they're limited edition, but let's just see. Let's start with the ones that I'm for sure keeping this one right here. I think it's still available. It is perfect everyday palette. I reach for these kinds of shades all the time boring. Yes, useful and wearable. Absolutely. So keeping this for sure. I also really like this one. I think this was from last year. Let me wipe my hand real quick. I found that the duochrome in this was just beautiful and it was very wearable. I also love that color. This is really pretty. This is kind of similar to this one and I'm actually having a really hard time decluttering these. This is a huge fail because I'm going to keep them all. I was trying to justify getting rid of them, but I love the Chanel ones. I almost collect them and it's not like the big palettes where I don't reach for them actually reach for these and I just want to keep them. What a fail. Let's take these Tom Ford ones and I remember last time I decluttered some but then my kids came in here and like started reorganizing my makeup and put them back in. So I think there's some in here that I already decluttered, but let's just see. I know I love this one so much. It was limited edition. I have used this palette so much. I love it. Keeping this. It is the tropical dusk and then this is my most beloved Tom Ford palette. Absolutely keeping this. We have here. Oh, yes again. These are palettes that I reach for all the time. I love them. This is honeymoon. Then we have okay. I could get rid of this one. This is Violette Satine. I just don't remember reaching for this one. Wow, that swatch is so beautiful. Let's see what else we have here. Okay, this is pretty baby. I think I decluttered this one last time and like I mentioned my kids put it back and so it's been here but I don't reach for it. I will declutter that one. I'm debating keeping this one. This looks prettier than I thought it would. Violette Satine. Then we have here. Oh, this is suspicion. This one may be a declutter. Let's look at the colors. Yeah, that's a declutter. I just don't need these colors all in one palette. If they were kind of individual, I would keep it but yeah, I just don't need it and you'll see I have so many YSL ones. Okay, this is body heat, right? Yeah, I'm keeping this one a favorite. I swatched it for you right under here. This is a little bit more wearable for me than that. Next we have this one. This is seductive Rose. This has beautiful toppers. And this is why I kept this one for so long because of the toppers my hands a little wet. Wow, that is so pretty. Let's see which one this is here. Disco dusk. I think I'm going to keep the seductive Rose and declutter disco dusk. I just think those toppers are stunning and I do have some similar toppers from disco dust. These are the ones I'm keeping not great but not awful. Here's the next batch of palettes. Oops, that was backwards. Let's start with Pat McGrath. I have a feeling that I will declutter most of these just because they're so intense. Colors are so punchy. Yeah, I'm decluttering this one. I won't reach for much. Ooh, I actually really like this one may keep this one. I think I like every single color in here and that's important for me. I'm going to keep something. I want to like pretty much every color. Oh, that one's kind of intense. Let's see. What about this one? Okay. This is my favorite one. It's quite intense but in a different way. I also really like that. It has that matte shockingly. I will get rid of this one. It is called Venus in Fleur, maybe. And the reason I'm decluttering is this color is so intense that I don't know if I want to reach for it. So I will declutter this one. I think I'm going to keep this one. I'm actually surprised. I think it's really pretty. Next we have the Charlotte Tilbury palettes. I think I'm going to keep them all. These are stunning. It's what I like, honestly. Yeah, I'm definitely keeping all of these. I think these are my only four Charlotte Tilbury palettes and I think they're perfect. Next we have these Chantecaille palettes. These were limited edition if I'm not mistaken and they're so good. All of these colors are perfect for every day. So stunning. And this one right here is just like a taupe-y brown. So good. And these were surprisingly beautiful when they sent them over. This one was sent over. I was like, ah, it's okay. But then when I put them on I thought that they gave the most beautiful and elegant look to my eyes. So I really like these. Keeping both. Then we have this Dior palette. This is the old formula and it was reformulated and it's not as good anymore. I will declutter it and give it to somebody that loves it. I think the formula, the old formula is so good. But since it's been reformulated, I don't want to use it on camera and you guys get excited or it's just confusing to me. So I will declutter that one. And the last ones we have the Lisa Eldridge and these, I have a love-hate relationship with these. I just don't think that they're that unique. But I do love some of them. So I don't know. I know I'm getting rid of this one. This is Muse. I just don't reach for it. I think this is super unique and it's small enough where it doesn't take a lot of space in my collection. So I think I'm going to keep this one. I do love this one as well. This is Myth. This does have like unique textures and just pretty colors. I really like this one. Like that one, swatched really bad, but it's just softer. And then you have, which one's this one? Vega. I really liked this shade and this shade from here. I thought they were pretty but I don't know guys. I think I'm going to declutter Vega. I will definitely keep Sorcery. I think this is my favorite one and I did really like this one. Let me swatch it again. I actually think I'm going to declutter this one as well. It's pretty but I already have these and I don't think it's exceptional. This one right here is exceptional. I think the colors are so stunning. The formula is just amazing and I don't have anything like this. So I feel very justifiable to keep that this one but the rest, they're just okay. So I'm going to get rid of it. I think we have this pile and probably one more. Okay, let's start with the Dior ones. I actually love this formula so much. It's such a basic classic formula. I'm keeping them. My favorite is this one, but I do love all of them. I want to keep them stunning and they don't take a lot of space. The only one that I'm deciding if I want to keep is this one. I swatched this one right here, kind of random spots and actually really liked this palette when it came out. I think it's discontinued so you can't get it anymore and I kind of want to keep it because I don't think I have greens in any other palette and I think this is nice and small. It's not too much, but I do know I have one green in here in Victoria Beckham. That one, not that one, not that one. Oh my gosh, fourth time. Okay, so I have these greens right here. So I'm thinking maybe just keep this one and declutter that one because again, these are colors that I don't reach for often, so I don't think it's worth keeping that many. Yeah, I think I'm going to declutter this one and keep the Victoria Beckham one. Talking about Victoria Beckham. Let's just open them. I have four of the new formula right here. This is without a doubt my favorite. I think this is my next one. This is just so deep. So, you know, it just doesn't get as much use out of. My all-time favorite is still this one. I'm keeping it. I love it. Yeah, I think I'm going to keep all my Victoria Beckham ones. They're kind of like not necessarily a collection. I just really enjoy them and I think they're so beautiful. Maybe in a year when I declutter again, if I don't reach for some of these colors, I'll declutter them. But for now, I still reach for them here and there. Then we have these right here. This is a NARS palette. Well, they're both NARS palettes. I actually really like this formula from NARS. I think they're just great palettes in general. They have interesting colors, toppers. I think I want to keep them both. I think this is last year's palette which got so much use out of and then this is this year's. I kind of like it, keeping these. Next, we have a palette that I have not opened yet. It's still brand new. I think this is Guerlain's collection, this year's collection. Should I just gift it to somebody else? I just received the collection, did not do a review on it. I'm just going to gift it to somebody. I don't want to ruin it. There's also a highlighter that I received and this powder which I actually use a lot, but I'm just going to get rid of this one. And then the last one is a must, Natasha Denona matte palette. Of course, I'm keeping this. Last chunk of small palettes and we're done. That's all I got and these are loved, so I can tell you most of these I'm going to keep. I'm keeping all of these. They're just so good. These have been pretty much my go-to palettes. Next, we have these Hourglass palettes which are also kind of new to me and I think I'm going to keep them all. I like the size of them. I think the quality is good, way overpriced. You don't need them, but I have them, why not? Next, we have all the Prada ones and I'm pretty sure I'm keeping all of them. I love these so much. Yeah, I'm keeping all of them. These have been very much loved. Actually, I have this one. I'm going to get rid of one from Charlotte Tilbury. These are the ones that I have from Prada and this is the one that I'm going to get rid of from Charlotte Tilbury. The colors pull quite, almost red on me and I like this better, so I'll get rid of this one, but these have been so loved. I knew going in to the smaller palettes that there's not going to be a ton of the clutters, but it is what it is. Let's open all of these up, look how pretty these are. Here are all the colors that I have from the YSL, keeping all of them. I absolutely love these. Seeing all of these makes me want to get rid of some other stuff, so let me look through everything and I'll tell you if I declutter any other ones because I do have so many beautiful colors in this that I may be able to get rid of some other smaller palettes. I looked through all my other palettes and I'm very happy to keep the rest. The only one I will declutter is this Pat McGrath, haven't reached it for a while and the colors are beautiful, just a little bit too intense and I already have the big one that has this pretty sparkly shade, so I will declutter this one and here are all the small palettes that I kept. Have I done great? Not really. I feel like I've kept quite a lot, but you know what? I love these. These are the palettes that I mainly reach for and I'm okay with it throughout the year. If I feel like, you know, I really haven't reached for these NARS ones much or some of the Tom Ford. I am happy to declutter, but for now, I feel like I kept the ones that I really like and that I reach for, so I'm good with this. Okay, that was interesting. To be honest, I was expecting to get rid of more smaller palettes, but it is what it is. I want to keep them. I love small palettes. I have, you know, them right here, all the smaller ones and I see a couple that I'm like, I could probably eventually get rid of it. I'm going to try some of the Tom Ford, like the Violet or Violet Satin, the Seductive Rose Body Heat and kind of compare them with my YSL ones and just try them on my eyes and then decide if I want to keep both formulas or just one because even though these are palettes that I absolutely love, I don't want to have so many dupes and honestly, I should have done that in the video, kind of swatched them side by side, but I have to leave. I don't have much time and I actually want to try them on my eyes because they're going to look different on the eyes than when you swatch them, but I'm happy with the big palettes going through the little ones. I can see myself getting rid of a couple. Natasha Denona big palettes. I again will try them on my eyes throughout this next few months and figure out if I want to keep them or not. I know myself. So if I have dupes in a smaller palette with a bigger palette, I'm more likely to use the smaller one. So that's going to come in the future. Make sure you stay tuned. Next, I think we have the single shadows and I don't even know what else. Mascaras, things like that. I am a sucker for small palettes and single shadows and I feel like that's where I get attached a little bit, but hope you guys enjoyed it. Leave me your thoughts down below and I will see you in my next video.
