I stopped buying the large oversized pallets. I never used all the colors and it was a waste of money. I much prefer a small 4-6 color pallet. My last “big “ pallet purchase was the Mac neutral one ,it has 9 colors and all are being used.
I am so right there with you! I love to look at pretty palettes and swatch them but when it comes down to it I just love a neutral palette for every day or that I can smoke out for evening. I also love a good one and done. So I also need to declutter. Thankfully my nieces love getting my decluttered makeup to play with. Also I keep trying and trying to really love the PM motherships. But honestly, I just end up looking at them and I keep them just because they look pretty in the palette. I never touch them.
Tip about Moonlit Seduction, it needs a stiff brush to blend the mattes. I was going in with a soft brush for the longest time and it was always so patchy till I changed my brushes.
Hi Blair. I bought the Kosas pallet and I like it. For a fast go out the door look, it’s good. As you know, some things just don’t work for some people. Hope you are feeling better. You should be proud of yourself. You decluttered what you are not using and kept what is your vibe.
You are classy and thorough in terms of make up selection. I have bought many items after you since I found your channel, I what I bought are proven really good products. I am looking forward to your best products of the year. Besides the way you do your make up suits you and always looks nice which kinda proved that quality of the products plus your skill of doing make up. Want to see more. Merry Christmas!🎄 ❤
Wow, this was really good! It's I have been getting some new makeup and was wondering if it's worth purchasing a larger palette, but you're like me, a neutrals lover, and other colors keep disappointing me... I definitely give the Patrick Ta ones and Tom Ford quads a look, but I think once again this year I will stick with my Wet N Wild My Glamor Squad and the original Naked Basics 😂😂😂
I do really love the pat mcgrath astral shades but not a fan of the ones that are chunky-the older ones seem to be more smooth. Bought a few of smaller ones from holiday collection which work great. Trying to minimize my eyeshadow collection too. Love the sigma colors in the palettes but noticed hate all the topper shades that are very dry so ended up getting rid of the ones i bought.
I’ve been debating on decluttering the Tarte Full Bloom. I don’t use large palettes anymore either, but it’s so pretty. I think if I don’t reach for it in the next few months, I’ll let it go.
I’ve fallen off the Pat McGrath train, as well. I love her quads, but the Motherships are not worth it, IMO. I wish she would sell her astral blitz shades as singles. Have a great Christmas and enjoy your New Year 🙂
I just had to have the Profusion Casper mirror from Halloween bc I loved that movie, and when it got marked down to $5, I caved. I actually do use it to see the back of my hair though!
Hi pretty! I also have narrowed down my collection Big time. And have been using Poshmark too. And I just don’t buy pallets anymore, unless I like every shade. ❤
I don’t think you should have to apologise for the things you like and want to keep :-) we’re all different and have our own preferences. Besides, I remember Mel Thompson also loved that Aspen Ovard collection - that palette specifically (apologies if I spelt that wrong).
I'm new to your channel (this is my first video) but I was just wondering what brushes you use with Pat McGrath? When I finally got one a couple years ago I was not impressed with the mattes either. Someone told me to use natural hair brushes (Sonia G, Rephr, Chikuhodo) and now I love the Pat palettes. I'm not super knowledgeable about brushes, but I do know I went from not liking the mattes to loving them just by switching brushes. (You may already use them, just thought I'd share what worked for me.)
Divine Rose is my favorite I got the coolest gold holiday look for Christmas the bronze quint bronze V mothership and X I love too 🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎 they are confusing to use tho lol

I feel the same way! I used to like bigger palettes, but now I always gravitate toward quads & smaller ones ❤️

You’ve done a thoughtful and thorough declutter to make your collection one that you love and get so much use from

That is good to know! Thank you for sharing! 😊
You did a great job! Nothing like going into the new year with a more curated collection!
Yes! Such a good feeling 😊
Totally agree with you. I love face makeup & don't focus on eyes as much. Happy with a simple eye look/one n done & a bit of mascara
Lizzy Maguire brings you joy. Keep it ❤
I love neutrals! Love watching you do what you do so well! ❤

I agree.
Blair is very thorough and explains everything.👍🏻🎄
That is so nice! Thank you ❤️
Sipping coffee from my Simply Blair mug while watching this! 😊
I love it!! 🥰❤️
I am in love with SIGMA!!!! Got my first pallet Black Friday sale Ambiance!!! Then I ordered New Mod 🤣🤣🤣 incredible!!!! Instant favorites
Nars has the best eyeshadow formula. It's so underrated
I agree! I wish they’d make palettes that aren’t limited edition
I do love Nars eyeshadow formula, I think people sleep on it.
But my favorite is Natasha Denona.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas ❤
Why did HUDA discontinue Mercury Retrograde? Why did ABH discontinue Sultry? Why did MELT discontinue Muerte? Who knows!?!

Great job!
Keep those Dior palmettes for sure. Old formula is so much better imho

It’s so hard because I love the shades in that palette, but it’s just too much so I always end up choosing something else to use 🤷🏻♀️
I need to go through my collection and do the same.
Do you still habe the retrograde Palette and the gemstone mini? Im searching this for long time?
I’ve fallen off the Pat McGrath train, as well. I love her quads, but the Motherships are not worth it, IMO. I wish she would sell her astral blitz shades as singles. Have a great Christmas and enjoy your New Year 🙂
Same, but mainly because she hasn’t released anything interesting in the past year and a half.
I just had to have the Profusion Casper mirror from Halloween bc I loved that movie, and when it got marked down to $5, I caved. I actually do use it to see the back of my hair though!
Well at least you use it! 😂 I have a habit of buying nostalgic things and then not using them lol
Hi pretty! I also have narrowed down my collection Big time. And have been using Poshmark too. And I just don’t buy pallets anymore, unless I like every shade. ❤
Do you have anything posted right now?? Send me a link please if you do! 💜

Whew. Im exhausted. Good job!
I would have made some different choices.....😅😅😅.
Merry Christmas Blair 💚❤
I would be interested in a couple of them if you do post on Poshmark. Mercury Retrograde is a palette I have FOMO about.
I plan to put a few of them on my Poshmark! I’ll update in the community tab when I do ❤️
What's ur poshmark?I'd love to follow u!!❤
I did the same with y the ario and Patrick Ta, I kept the PT, love the Mario but the square on the palette was just too small

I still want the tarte aspyn ovard. We never got it in Canada. 😢
Please review the youthforia date night foundation!
Glam is my all time favorite pallet I cannot believe you lol 😮
lol in all honesty I’m considering changing my kind and keeping that one 😂
You did a great job. You should pat your back. I feel you I would let go of items I’m not using or don’t have a memory attached to them.
I would love to purchase the Natasha Glam pallet from you
❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Divine Rose is my favorite I got the coolest gold holiday look for Christmas the bronze quint bronze V mothership and X I love too 🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎 they are confusing to use tho lol
I’ve often wondered if I would like the original Divine Rose palette!
@@simplyblair I love it and I don’t usually like rose tones lol it’s more neutral and then warm on the browns and bronzes
