I’m glad that you decided to rank your smaller amount of new palettes. I like that you’re only buying what you love instead of everything affordable, like many creators.
What I love about yours videos is the passion that you have for eyeshadows. You have true feelings when you talk about palettes or specific colours. Nothing against the big youtuber but I can feel your passion. It is the same for me here. ;-)
I like your approach to palettes purchases a lot. I need to tone it down in 2022. And I appreciate your honesty about PMG, it's clear you are a true fan but you can also be critical and the fact that you decluttered her quad says a lot to me. I don't enjoy these quads too. But for some reason I'm afraid to start decluttering PMG !
Thank you! It has taken me a while to get to this point with my makeup collection. Honestly, I feel it's sad for the product to sit in my drawers unused and unloved when it could be appreciated by someone else.
Yay, I love your ramblings, thank you for doing this video. My fave palette was the Nars one, but of course I only bought that, Interstellar Icon and Mini Star 🖤
Hellooooo! I am extremely happy alongside you to celebrate you honing in on what you like and sticking to this when making purchases!!! We know how overly bombarded the beauty world is with merchandise. It is utterly ridiculous. No one can keep up with all of the new releases. We would need numerous clones and swatch 24/7! : D So good for you, Mari!!!! It feels amazing to be content. HUGS HUGS HUGS! Happy New Year! And I need to catch up on viewing your other videos! PS: That was fun seeing you comment on a comment I made mention of you. This community is fabulous! Blessings. Denise
Thank you! I feel more at peace with a smaller collection than a bigger one these days. I have the impression that I control IT and not IT me. Noone should try to keep up, it is insane. Even if you are in a "small" niche such as only indie, or only luxury makeup...the amounts of makeup released daily are ridiculous. You too my dear!!! Yet another year that we wish each other happy new year! Love that! haha inception 😂
I think maybe the spring/summer season will help us to decide how much we like Huetopian Dream as I feel that's when it will really shine! What did you pick up from the Bridgerton collection in the end? Or is it a surprise for us? 😶I managed to pass on it all despite ample opportunity to purchase. I was a bit confused on the sudden sell out of the whole collection when earlier the same day everything was still in stock 🤔followed by the "sign up to restock alerts"..
I agree, in hindsight I also use DRII moslty in the summer. And HD is definitely a summer/spring palette. I got the palette, no surprises...mostly because I am highly intrigued by the presence, allegedly, of an astral in there. Yeah that was weird...way to create fomo.
@@mariam.a. I picked the Bridgerton palette too, because of Alice and her look with the dupes… I wanted that blue astral. And I picked the palette because there was an astral shade. I would have skipped it otherwise. I immediately went to purchase the palette after seeing Alice’s story…
Wow! Love your eyeshadow look today! So pretty! :) You make me want to buy Celestial Odyssey palette :) I agree with you on everything you said about Pat McGrath and her brand. She's a genius! Happy holidays to you and your family! Your channel is my favourite one makeup/beauty-wise.
My top 3 palettes were everything I bought from PMG, but if I need to choose I'd go with Midnight sun, next roen 11:11 quad and Tom Ford Pretty baby :)
A friend of mine says that I have a superpower xD, because I’m good of telling if something is pigmented and good quality when I look at it. When I saw the new holiday quads I was like nah , they don’t look good to me and I hate that they are smaller and now that you said it, I’m glad I didn’t get them :)
Same for this year on the knowing my preferences, cutting way back, and using my collection. I also bought about ten palettes, a few of which were mostly for my daughter, and the bulk of that towards the end of the year...My fave for sure is the Natasha Denona Retro!
Natasha really did something there with Retro, she is being chosen as the top palette left and right. I just really don't like mauves and mauve purples much.
Huetopian dream is the first and only PML pallete I have! I have used it almost every day for at least 5 weeks now, and got a variety of looks, it brings me so much joy every time I use it. I agree with you though about the multichrome shade, while I love how the color shifts upon application, this shade just doesn't last on my more hooded eyelid at all, even with a primer (the best longevity I got was with the PML wand primer). The purple glitter is my favourite one, and I also love using the skinshow nude color for a cheek highlighter, and the pinks as blushes. Thanks for the NARS recommendation, the colours look stunning 😊
I really liked your ranking and the fact that you don't have a huge amount of palettes, it's nice to see a more curated collection. I have just received Celestial Odyssey today, I was looking forward to it so much. To my great disappointment one shadow came completely shattered, and ironically, it is Bronze Nova 😓 I know it's only makeup but I was so upset, as this was limited edition too.
You mean refreshing….refreshments are snacks! It was such a cute mistake. Agree with your impressions. I am waiting for Celestial Odyssey to arrive….💙💝
hi Mariam, I like to listen to your chatter, so even if it takes longer, great :) (I do my nails once a week and then it's wonderful to listen to you) I pretty much bought the same palettes, with the exception of the last luxury quads, which I also found so boring .. In the end I took the blue one from you. With the Black Friday sale I was still hesitating to buy some blushes from Pat but didn't... I bought a very nice quad from Linda Hallberg, which is green I can safely say just as beautiful as Blitz Emerald, slightly brighter green and the other colors are also beautiful and of very good quality. I also love the astrals from Utiopian Dream, I often use them as topper, especially Astral Venusian Orchid as a topper on Blitz Emerald...to die for. For Celestial Odyssey is also number 1 Diana
I am so relieved that you do enjoy Deep Space. I love when makeup that does not work for someone, works for someone else. I know which shade from LH you mean, I always thought it looks so similar to Blitz Emerald. And it is probably a similar texture too. I can't wait to pass the Enchanted Secrets quad to you. I think you will enjoy that one too. Fijne jaarwisseling Diana!!! 😘
@@mariam.a., natuurlijk was de week zo voorbij, met vriendinnen en familie afgesproken...maar we gaan zeker bij elkaar komen voor the Enchanted Secrets quad, dan neem ik die 'nieuwe' ook mee, kunnen we vergelijken. Jij ook een heel goed 2022!
I prefer less stuff and higher quality too, it makes want to use my makeup more , enjoy it and be creative. :D What about a new Pat McGrath ranking Mariam ? :) The Odyssey palette is stunning , I find myself wanting to use it everyday :D , it is sooo good :3. On the other hand I didn’t love the special shades on the Huetopian Dream palette as much as my other Motherships and that’s because they are chunkier , they are more impactful but I found out I can’t layer them as easy as my other blitz and astral shades as I need her wand or glitter glue , I like it when I want to do a more special look but I don’t know , I prefer her “normal “ blitz and astral formulas, but also I have to wait in spring and summer to use it more xD I don’t know it is a spring palette to me .
1. Pat McGrath celestial odyssey palette 2. Sydney Grace coffee talk palette (deep) 2. Sydney Grace Summer days palette (light) Happy holidays & joyful new year Mariam! ✨️
@@clidrevandijk ahh sorry! Waterproof formulas are never the exact counterpart of the non-waterproof ones. I think Meg said she didn't like the waterproof extra sculpt.
Your description of Bronze Nova almost always convinces me to buy Celestial Odyssey, but I think it is too big for my taste. I love shades like that and the plummy bottom right shade of Eternal Eden. My top 3 palettes would be Huetopian Dream, ND Retro and Eternal Eden quad but I have to put Voyeuristic Vixen in there too...so tied with Eternal Eden maybe?
You know if you have Vixen the you have the more amped up version of Bronze Nova as it is. Not 100% the same but in the vicinity. A tie, judge call..I’ll allow it 😉
The Nars climax palette reallllly shocked me too, its extremely good and gives me hope for future Nars eyeshadow releases! I do find it confusing how they’ve finally managed to get the formula right yet it’s limited edition! Who makes these decisions?… Celestial odyssey & Natasha Denona Retro round out my top 3. Celestial odyssey is a holiday palette done right, Usually large palettes without a set theme/color story throw me but this one just works So damn well! I love her metallics and more satin shades, so smooth and reflective! Retro is a burgundy/mauve palette but the tones are different, it’s more muted and “neutral” not as noticeably warm/cool as most pallets with these shades, something about it just works with the oliveness in my skin much better…or maybe I’m just delusional …lol
Hehe good things come in limited quantities 🤣. I completely understand what you mean with CO. Usually I dislike large jumbled color stories too but this one is so inspiring and everything is so beautiful and great quality. I’m glad Retro works for you! That’s awesome!
Heb je PMG Bridgerton nog gekocht? (ik heb de palette en highlighter gekocht...maar nog geen bevestiging...10% werkte ook niet, maar daar heb ik een bericht over gestuurd)
Jep heb de palette gekocht, verder niks. Ik weet misschien wat het probleem met de 10% is. Heb je de link via je email gevolgd? Volgende keer gewoon via je browser de website van Pat openen en dan pas de early access vip code gebruiken en dat moet de 10% die niet werkt oplossen. Heb ik deze keer gedaan en ging heel soepel.
@@mariam.a. , ik heb al antwoord gekregen van pmg, ze gaan het verrekenen. (ik had bij diezelfde aankoop ook nog de couture lipkit gekocht en de 'oudere' flesh 3 uit de opulence collectie)
I need to follow your lead on buying less and that I really love and use. I do have some items for collectible value (e.g., PML Stars Wars collection). It is very I that you hated the holiday palettes…and yet I really like them, especially deep space divinity. It definitely has to do with the undertones. I much prefer cooler shades and the burgundy. Dawn fantasia is so beautiful on me as a one and done. And alien moon is great on the lid with rose nocturne to blend the edges. But I would have loved the makeup geek shadow you showed. It is hard to pick my top three right now because everything is getting packed and it is back I their boxes. Off the top, I have to say that I have been loving Natasha Denona more for my every day looks…Rétro is so beautiful! Victoria Beckham Tuxedo…but I think that you would not like it…but is cool toned grey/brown, all matte, it is beautiful on me. And the packaging is perfection. Very beautiful tortoiseshell color, so small, yet nice weight and the solid pans are great. The next would be Viseart’s Violette Étendu. It is such a spectacular purple palette…and the shadow work on me so well. Two of these choices may be biased because they were more recent additions but I think they will stand the test of time. I like a little less texture on my shadows because my aging lids don’t do well with too much texture especially because with my hooded eyes. So much of this is preference. Also, I prefer cooler tones because I have a neutral cool color and very much graying hair. Great to have this video from you! Love the eye look.
I am sure it is partly taste especially for Deep Space, but for sure we can agree that these quads didn't have the oomph factor that would qualify them as luxe 😉. I am very intrigued by VB's brand but I am jsut waiting on a release that is more up my style. Posh knows what she is doing, smart woman. I love that we have such different tastes and I completely understand your points. 💙💙💙
I’m glad that you decided to rank your smaller amount of new palettes. I like that you’re only buying what you love instead of everything affordable, like many creators.

Good for you!!! And all are stellar choices!
Our top three palettes are the same! Although I would rank the nars palette first, it’s just the most elegant palette ever imo.
That NARS palette is a gem!
I’m glad I got it , it looks so good on the eyes :3

Metropolis is still not a super colorful one though. It has more color but it’s rich and fall. That palette I would have loved too.
1. Pat McGrath celestial odyssey palette
2. Sydney Grace coffee talk palette (deep)
2. Sydney Grace Summer days palette (light)
Happy holidays & joyful new year Mariam! ✨️

Hope you have a fantastic NYE and a fabulous 2022!!!
