Thank you so much for the comprehensive review. Very thorough! I came for the review but stayed for your voice. 😂 You have the a very nice voice. You could totally do commercials, voice overs, audiobooks all of that!
I’ve watched so many reviews on these palettes and yours was the most comprehensive and helpful! Amazing!! I bought 100 and 300 and love them. I was also going to go back and get a pink, but now I think I’ll go with 200. Thank you for such a detailed video! I’m subscribing right now, too!
With so many "pinkish" palettes to choose from, it's hard to choose based on just the promo pictures. So I'm very glad that I was able to help! I hope you enjoy it as much as you like 100 and 300! And thank you so much for the sub! 💛
What a wonderful and well-done review you have here. Far better than other established beauty channels out there. I hope your channel skyrockets in popularity.
What a great in-depth review! I have Gueliz Dream and I got this just for the reasons you mention. Most neutral pink of all the pinks and 3 of those lovely mattes. The glitter I completely agree, it’s a fall out “rock start” messy situation rather quickly :) I quite like it too despite that, but maybe best for more informal days.
Thank you so much! Yes, those glitters are party animals and definitely best saved for informal situations. 😂 Gueliz Dream is beautiful! Now that I've seen them in person, it's one of my favorites.
This video earned to by called a review. Very detailed but not boring. Easy to follow and as a non native speaker i appreciate the clear nit to fast voice. I liked the comparison with other brands palettes a lot. Maybe more swatches (?) but overall top video
I appreciate this review, this is my first time to your channel and I’m loving the way you present your content! I’m happy to see a fresh to me face in the luxury makeup sphere ❤. I also appreciate a review with someone who has truly hooded eyes. The looks you turned out and you are gorgeous ❤
your reviews of all this palettes was amazing, so helpful, but I might say that in the previous video that I saw of you doing another reviews, when you mentioned that eyeshadows are only dust that just help me realize that I do have so many eyeshadows that I do not need these ones. So thank you
I'm so glad that mention of "dust" helped you be more in tune with your needs. Thanks for taking a moment to let me know that you found the review helpful. ❤
What a helpful and thorough review! Thank you so much! Other reviewers have given unadulteratedly positive reviews without the details. Thank you again!
WOW! You are impressive. Outstanding review, thank you. But dang it I was going to order the Spontini Lilies and Kasbas Spices. Still going for the spices but I'm bummed about the Spontini L.
A 40-minute video from Stephanie: what a lovely treat for us! And wow, what a phenomenal review! So...these are some of the items from the mystery box, hey? My curiosity is simultaneously satisfied yet strengthened. 😉 What a shame about the glitter fallout, and "fairy dandruff" is one of the most entertaining descriptions of makeup I've heard in a long time. Gueliz Dream and Medina Glow stand out to me the most in terms of their colour story, and the packaging for all of the quads looks divine! I can definitely see what you mean in terms of those matte shades. I'm curious to swatch them in store just so I can feel that luscious texture you describe! I admire the attention you detail you presented throughout the whole video from your swatches, comparisons, editing, and concise yet detailed descriptions. Bravo! It's so lovely to watch your videos. Thank you for brightening my Thursday! 💕
Yes! Some of the items in the mystery box have now been revealed! 😂 It was so much fun to get a chance to play with them. Yes, the glitter fallout is a shame. But perhaps it's just the nature of the beast because I don't know that I've ever used a truly glittery shade without getting "fairy dandruff". Gueliz Dream might just be the overlap between the two of us: my love of neutralness, your love of color! 😂 And the packaging of these products really is something special. Whoever did the concept work deserves a raise. Thanks for brightening my day with such a kind and thoughtful comment! It's always lovely to "hang out" with you!
I am so glad that I came across your video.I heard all good things about those eyeshadow palettes and the packages are so cute.I almost bought some of them but I wanted to make sure which one to get.So much information and more than others that I watched.Thank you for making this video.❤
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thanks for taking a moment to let me know. Whichever one you choose, be careful when opening it. All of the palettes I had eventually had the same issues as the Stora Dolls colorway: the pans fell out of the package. It was easy to fix with a little bit of glue, but hopefully knowing it could happen will prevent the eyeshadows from ending up on your floor.
I have all those pallettes that you completed so,I am set no need to get one.But I was so close to get some.Your video had more depth than others that I have seen.I don't like my shadow fall out throughout the day.
Medina glow is really pretty and irresistable..on the other hand the packaging is very luxurious and fashionable..like fashion investment.thank you for your beauty tutorial..really informative 👍
Super top review👏👏👏..... my favorite n' 200 but i have natasha denona palette,tom ford palette,Charlotte tilbury palette 😅 very similar !!! Nuova iscritta dall'Italia 🙋🏻♀️ ciaooooooo
I heard that they have since fixed the production issue, so hopefully it won't be a problem. I have found a way to fix mine that makes it more flexible than ever, so I'm actually happy that it broke. I hope you had a wonderful trip to Estonia!
I think the shadows falling out might be a Stora Dolls issue, because the same thing happened to me as soon as I opened it. 😅 I tipped it over to remove the little brushes inside and just like that the shadows landed in my hand. I was sent the palette by YSL so it didn’t bother me too much, but for the price it’s definitely not something you want happening. I was thinking of purchasing the blue one in the future as I’m really enjoying this shadow formula, but this threw me off a little. 😓 Thank you for the in-depth review! ❤
I agree with you - several people have messaged me saying that the same thing happened with their Stora Dolls palette. I know it's a minor, first-world problem, but disappointing nonetheless! That blue one does look lovely! But I don't think it will be for me since it looks like the darkest shade is a sequin shadow, and I'd much prefer that beautiful matte formula instead. Thanks for taking a moment to say hello! It was lovely to hear from you.
I just stumbled on your channel and what an interesting style of reviews. Really enjoyed it. And the shadow fall pit happened to a few RUclipsrs already. Unfortunately it’s a thing with that palette
Luckily I saw your video b4 I bought one so I kind of knew what to expect I did buy 100 Stora Dolls & in fact my also feel out but I was already prepared thank god! Lol😅💜 so I think something wrong happened in manufacturing with 100 Stora Dolls in general
I‘m glad I was able to help avoid disaster with the warning about the palette falling apart - crazy that a palette at that price point has an issue like that. At least it‘s easy to solve. Are you enjoying Stora Dolls?
I was leaning toward 100, but thinking now about 300 because it only has 1 glitter. But I’m light blond and cool tone. Still not in Sephora here in Canada.
The matte formula is definitely my favorite, so I’m a fan of 300, but the following might help to inform your decision: the light cream color and the dark brown are neutral. The gold is also neutral (for a gold). But the mid-toned shade is warm. I would describe it as toasted apricot.
Violet Voss and Made by Mitchell have done "sequin" shades where the shimmer actually shows up on the lid well, look pretty and I do not get fall out. It's a very different formula than other brands, not dry. For all other Western brands it's a mess w sequins and they are kinda useless
Watching this review because it's you Stephanie, definitely not because I could be interested. On a skintone like mine, I think every palette can work, it just depends on how you were you eyeshadow. On me, for exemple, the 6 palettes you showed would be an ashy mess for the most part, with maybe z few eyeshadow looking good. My mom, though, would probably use every shadows because she pretty much doesn't find anything too light for her skintone (which I can't understand how)
Hearing your perspective on the colors and the difference between your mom’s taste and yours is great. Thanks for sharing that. It’s always great to “see” you here, Anne-Sophie! And I appreciate the view even though you’re not interested in these shadows. ❤️
What a great in depth review because I was thinking which one to get .I would like to ask (if you tried it , have it) what's the difference in your opinion from the toppers in gold mink of Tom Ford (im Greek and don't wear pinks they don't suit me and I don't like pinks in general) I'm interested in Kasbah spices 🎉Love 😍 from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉(ps very different formula wise from Dessert nudes from the big clutch palette? Thank you ❤) ❤
Hi Eleni! I'm so glad you found it helpful! I haven't tried Tom Ford Golden Mink, but based on reviews I've seen of it and my experience with other Tom Ford palettes, I think the YSL glitter topper is probably quite similar. It looks like the YSL topper might be more of a "party animal" with slightly more pronounced glitters. Both Golden Mink and Kasbah Spices would give you a sophisticated look, but I believe the YSL palette is probably a bit more impactful in general.
PS I also haven't tried the Desert Nudes in the big clutch palette, but based on reviews I've seen and the way people discussed it, it sounds like these might be a new formula with softer-pressed, creamier mattes.
In person, Babylone Roses leans more mauve than pink - if anything, it's a very dusty rose. So it almost reminds me a bit of the DIOR Backstage 002 Cool Neutrals palette. They certainly aren't dupes, but they have similar vibes. It also seems to be YSL's more monochrome version of Pat McGrath's Divine Rose I palette. Also not dupes, but similar vibes.
You're right - they seem to be selling out everywhere! It looks like they're still in stock at Sabina (go.shopmy.us/p-1984403). I've never even heard of that shop before, but they currently have a 4.3 rating on Trust Pilot.
6 YSL palettes... That's a lot of lux. From your description of the sequin eye shadows, it sounds like, at least on the formula side that it is a half measure that the company decided to go with because they couldn't find a good way to finish out the quad. To achieve a sense of balance, a good quad anything should either be designed in a strong 2+2 or 3+1 orientation. In this instance it sounds like YSL couldn't do the math. The issue of fallout and long wear with glitter seems to me to be the result of the the application versus the nature of the substance. Makeup is ideally a stay where you put it product, and glitter just inherently gets everywhere. Objectively reviewing this video, I was amazed by how informative it is. The balance between discussing formulas and color stories is well achieved. I was able to gain understanding through the context of your discussion in each segment. All the swatches showed up really well on camera and I amazed how different some of the colors are from seeing them in the pan to the swatch. The texture, depth, and movement is really something. You also did really good when prefacing some of your remarks to provide understanding and not overreach instead of trying to act as an ultimate authority, which is a pitfall well avoided. The length of the video befits the content presented as well. My sense of anticipation is sated, which is high praise considering I saw the notification for this video basically when I first woke up and could not watch it until much later in the day. I feel a hearty Bravo and Well Done is well earned. 👏👏👏👏
It really is a lot of lux! Yeah... sequin shadows just are NOT my jam. I keep waiting for someone to enlighten me in the comments, tell me how to use them. Maybe I'm missing out on the best eyeshadow experience of my life! 😂 You are so very right about glitter. It is quantum-level spooky. It is both on my eyes and on my cheeks (and on my shirt and my dinner and my car...) Thank you for always providing such great feedback! You've definitely helped me get better at making these. And yes! Isn't it weird how some colors looks so dramatically different on the skin than they do in the pan? That's why it's so easy to make a misstep when buying makeup! It's sneaky. It's always great "hanging out" with you in the comments, Zach! I hope your week is going ok and that you'll be able to take a nice break this weekend.
@TheStyleStumbler I'm happy to help. 😁 Knowing how colors can shift and look different, I would imagine it adds a challenge to buying makeup. I can imagine that from looking at photos online to seeing it in a store to getting the product home, the color can change in a big way and not always for good. It hasn't been a good week for me. Watching your video was the best time I've had. I'm not sure how much I'll get to relax, but I am going to see the new Indiana Jones movie, so that's at least a couple hours of fun.
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re having a rough week. I don’t know that it helps, but you’re not alone. 💛 I feel a little bit like I got hit by a Mack Truck, myself. I had no idea that a new Indiana Jones movie had released! You’ll have to let me know how it is.
@TheStyleStumbler I feel like the truck hit me, back over me and then dropped his cargo on top of me. 🥵🥵😥 I'll let you know how the movie is. One thing I van already say is the hat game will be on point. 🤠
One *could* argue that the hat is the most important aspect. 😉 I look forward to hearing your review! As for your truck-accident of a week: ugh. I’m so sorry. If I was a rich rockstar, I would med-evac you outta there.
Hooded oily eyelids and eyeshadow doesn't crease for 9 hours? That's a miracle. Mine creases and has bald patches whatever I use and regardless of eyeshadow quality. And not in 9 hours. By the 3 hour mark.
It is pretty miraculous. But I also always used a primer. I have heard that some people feel like you shouldn't need a primer with luxury eyeshadows. I suspect those people don't have oily eyelids though.
@@TheStyleStumbler I use primer or glitter glue. My eyeshadow always creases. I carry a small eyeshadow with me for touch-ups, in case I feel like it. But the good part about hooded lids is that nobody but me notices my eyeshadow creases.
@@roaroa5291 That is definitely an advantage of hooded lids - we're usually the only ones who notice the creasing. I am also a huge fan of glitter glue. Although I find that if I use too much, that will also cause creasing. Finding the perfect balance is the challenge for me.
That would be ideal. Unfortunately these were just broken and they don't sell refills (the adhesive residue says it all). I'll be "upgrading" mine with magnets to repair them and make them more functional.
I got the Babylone Roses quad & it is one of the best purchases i have made so fsr this year!! I haven't had any fallout with it but i do use the included sponges & press instead of swipe... it's a gorgeous color story!! 💞🩷💞🩷 Excellent in-depth review!! 🥰
That Babylone Roses is beautiful. I didn't try the sponges - maybe that would prevent the fallout. Thanks for the tip and for taking a moment to say hi! 💞

Omg I cannot wait to dive into this with you! I was so curious to see if these were any good with no desire to buy them!
They're interesting, that's for sure! Especially since the matte shades are the most intriguing shadows! (Normally I'm all about the sparklies. 😂)
I’m on a day trip to Estonia 🇪🇪 , but a I _still_ going to watch this review now? Well yea I will 😆❤

One *could* argue that the hat is the most important aspect. 😉 I look forward to hearing your review!
As for your truck-accident of a week: ugh. I’m so sorry. If I was a rich rockstar, I would med-evac you outta there.
Hooded oily eyelids and eyeshadow doesn't crease for 9 hours? That's a miracle. Mine creases and has bald patches whatever I use and regardless of eyeshadow quality. And not in 9 hours. By the 3 hour mark.
It is pretty miraculous. But I also always used a primer. I have heard that some people feel like you shouldn't need a primer with luxury eyeshadows. I suspect those people don't have oily eyelids though.
@@TheStyleStumbler I use primer or glitter glue. My eyeshadow always creases. I carry a small eyeshadow with me for touch-ups, in case I feel like it. But the good part about hooded lids is that nobody but me notices my eyeshadow creases.
@@roaroa5291 That is definitely an advantage of hooded lids - we're usually the only ones who notice the creasing.
I am also a huge fan of glitter glue. Although I find that if I use too much, that will also cause creasing. Finding the perfect balance is the challenge for me.
It opens for a refill . So you can buy a refill.
That would be ideal. Unfortunately these were just broken and they don't sell refills (the adhesive residue says it all). I'll be "upgrading" mine with magnets to repair them and make them more functional.
I got the Babylone Roses quad & it is one of the best purchases i have made so fsr this year!! I haven't had any fallout with it but i do use the included sponges & press instead of swipe... it's a gorgeous color story!! 💞🩷💞🩷
Excellent in-depth review!! 🥰
That Babylone Roses is beautiful. I didn't try the sponges - maybe that would prevent the fallout. Thanks for the tip and for taking a moment to say hi! 💞
