Jen, your content is just above and beyond. For example, going through the trouble to show us the Elf palette and what the topper can do to change the colors. Absolutely nobody else does this sort of thing for us in their declutters. You're truly always thinking about your viewers instead of just speeding through things to get it over with as quickly as possible. We truly appreciate your content, and your hard work on this and every video ❤
Aw thank you Tiffany! It's funny because when I was editing I looked back to see if the Earth and Ocean palette was still available and it's not. I felt bad because I hyped it up so much in the video, haha!
I would love videos of using older products! I think it's great when we appreciate what we already have, and sometimes I see people use something in a way I hadn't thought of, and it helps me appreciate my things all over again!
Thanks for doing this!! Each time you tell about your husband buying you the palette at the beginning of your career, it just melts my heart. You need to tell it every declutter! I'm so very grateful you're here with us !
You should always tell the story about the UD Vice palette. I could hear it a million times. It is so sweet and it gives us single girls hope for actually finding a man like your husband!!! Plus anyone who hasn't heard it, needs to!!! 💖
Wow it absolutely blows me away how you can use a palette a couple of times, and remember the formula of it and how it preformed, you were obviously destined to do this as a job, you are so talented at it, thank you for sharing your talent with us 🥰
I love that you don’t throw out tons just to say you did a declutter. I like that you keep what you want. It’s your money. I think it’s so wasteful when they just toss almost their entire collection. ( plus it is your job!)
I was GLUED to the screen this entire video. It was great to hear about palettes I’ve never even seen before. This made me want to put eyeshadow on my eyes so bad haha
Whew! I learn so much in your declutters. I buy lots and barely wear any! Going to try to use what I have this year. There are so many repeat shades in all palettes. The cost has gotten ridiculous for tiny amounts of colored powder!
It amazes me how thorough Jen is, even decluttering, we get mini reviews, comparisons, swatches, recommendations, and not only that, she remembers all those details about the palettes, the formula, the pigmentation (or lack thereof), how they blend, etc., it blows my mind 🤯... I love your long videos, thnx for all your hard work Jen 🤗 your're the best! 💯... hugzzz 💜
I’m taking a quick break 2.35 hours in to get a snack. Part 2 is even better than part 1. My blood pressure is 110/70 and I’ve learned a ton more about eyeshadow. Jen I love your special demonstrations and swatches and the fact you still show us palettes you already know you are keeping or decluttering. Face it. You love us!!!! 😂❤❤
This is just fantastic. I'm not sure what it is about this video but it's making me emotional in a good way. I think it's your purity, your honesty, your love for your subscribers and for beauty. Thank you for being you and I pray that you never change.
That was FUN! Thanks Jen. I loved it all- comparisons, reviews, swatches- I appreciated the massive work you put into this. I saw old favourites I decluttered over the years and new favourites I love. It was very satisfying to see them and hear your thoughts!
Why don’t you have more subscribers?! I don’t get it! ☺️ you put in so much work and I really appreciate it! I don’t think there’s been a single video I’ve missed since i found your channel a couple years back. Thank you Jen!! Ok..now I’m gonna make some tea, fold laundry and spend the next 3hrs watching this 😉❤
These 2 declutter videos were awesome, how in the heck do you remember them all is just amazing. You’re the only person I would watch a 3 hour video, thank you for all your hard work, it’s so appreciated.🥰🥰
Let's give Jen some love let's share her channel ... A lot of my fav you tubers do more sponsorships and are turning to more and more tik tok and short videos but for me I still love long content and reviews and love for make up. Jen you are amazing ❤ . Sydney grace single swatches would be a video I would watch ❤
Jenn, I always love your declutters and it doesn’t matter how long they run because eventually I’ll watch the entire thing- usually all at once. It is a bonus that you say a little bit about each palette. Very helpful, informative and interesting.
Yes and yes more declutter time, miss Jen!! I’ll update a comment after finishing the video! Updated at UD part, such heartwarming story of the last UD palette! Update from Monday morning, I had to watch this in three parts I just couldn’t sit in one go, so I watched one hours every few hours! Good job Miss Jen for decluttering your eyeshadow palette! a good amount were nostalgia feeling when everyone had the time for them palettes!
I’m grateful to you for doing this-showing us what they are, why you like or don’t like them, and giving us feedback on formulas. This is the most comprehensive eyeshadow palette declutter that I’ve ever seen. And it helped me immensely. What struck me the most is how few of the expensive ones tempted me. I guess I’m thoroughly middle class with tastes to match, which works for me. What also became clear is that I don’t like the way many of the palettes were curated. There appear to be too many similar colors in many palettes and odd token cool or warm colors thrown into palettes for a reason that I can’t fathom. I was surprised, too, by how little originality there is in the expensive palettes. Even though ColourPop is guilty of reusing colors more than any other brand, from what I’ve heard on YT, they have some unique and affordable palettes that have made me regret purchases from other brands. Live and learn, right?
Wow, this reminds me of how a majority of palletes have shades that i will never ever use! I have mature (55yo) hooded eyes and warm tan skin. I dont use bold colors or glitters (only satins) , so I would say only about 20% of shades in a palette I would ever wear. The only palette i use 100% of is the 5-pan Bobbi Brown Bare Nudes Eyeshadow Palette. Beautiful formula and flattering tones to the shadow colors.
Woo hoo! Right on time! I just made a cup of coffee. Thank you SO MUCH for all your hard work ❤❤❤ edited to add, I save so many of your videos in my Favorites playlist. This is one of them💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
This is the kind of video I not only love relaxing to the first time I watch it, but that I pull up when I'm cleaning or doing some household task I don't like! ❤
❤your in depth de- clutters. You should do videos each week using a palette each day for a week, high end drawers an drugstore!! That would be fun to watch!! (Just an idea)
I’m so excited to watch this ! I just ordered and received the Colourpop Fame palette from Mercari after watching your last declutter video. It is so pretty!! I might find another gem to purchase in this one. AND this is a super long video!! YAY !!! ♥️♥️♥️
What an incredible collection you have, Jen! Thank you for going through each one and discussing pros and cons. You are right about some of the shimmers not looking anything like what they swatch. Good to know. I will bet you are glad to declutter some of these and open up some room for MORE palettes! grin.
You will have to pry those Milani soft&sultry and pure passion palettes out of my cold, dead hands. Why milani ever decided to discontinue those and change the formula is mindboggling.
Btw, I love, and I mean looooove seeing what u have in your collection! And the way u speak of each, a memory in time ya know. I adore these. Not only to see what u have but to hear your makeup story. 💜
wow 515 eyeshadow palettes...it means you can use a different palette each day and in year and 5 months you would get to use the first eyeshadow palette again :) That must be over 6000 single pans of shadow if we count the average palette as having 12 eyeshadows. Wow....mindblowing! It is cool to see all those shadows in one place.
I’ve found some of my best pallets from watching declutter videos. I learn about brands that I’ve never heard of before. And I thought I had a lot of eyeshadow pallets. 😲
I have wanted the UD Naked 3 since it came out. I have discovered that the ELF Rose Gold Nude is basically a dupe (just 2 less shades) which I didn't realize when I bought it (just thought it was pretty), so I will probably never get the UD now. I always love hearing about your husband getting the Vice palette for you. It is so sweet.
I myself have quite a lot older palettes and I do find that they stay good and well performing much much longer than most formulas today!! ABH was on of first brands where quality seriously declines after a few years but before shadow was fine performing for years and years. Which might not be relevant for people who don't use palettes that regularly or constantly throw away and buy new ones but I still find it interesting. It's nice in my opinion that things didn't go bad as quickly especially if you really like a palette. And companies really do that to force you to buy new stuff
Perfectly done! I like how you still have SO many palettes. Your videos are legitimately the best when it comes to duping new palettes with shadows you already have.
A Beauty RU-vidr after my own heart. I have a huge collection too (500+) and its so rare to find others with a nice sized collection. I enjoy this video & seeing someone who have some makeup history in common with me. ❤
These were the first videos of yours I watched, and I did watch all of both!! I am so happy to see someone with a collection even bigger than mine!!! I just got number 616 and am still buying, just not as many as I used to! I have yet to do a declutter, like at all, but I feel like it's time. I am such a collector, I have a really hard time getting rid of things that aren't doing me any harm, they don't take up valuable space in my home, and haven't caused me to go into debt. My collection is all contained in my sunporch that I converted into a beauty room with my vanity and my Stranger Things collection of various items. It is my happy place and no one can take that away from me!!!
Watching this one in segments, but enjoying every minute of it. I bought a Catrice 5-in-a-box pretty recently for a full face of Catrice, so they are still available, and I thought it was really good. Thank you for being so incredibly thorough with what you are keeping and decluttering and why. I love the Vice Palette story. I think I remember you putting the old Comfort Zone in your Makeup Archives. Do you have that in a special place? You're doing so well clearing out the old and unused and making room for new favorites!
Jen you inspired me to do a declutter of my entire makeup collection, thank you. As far as "keeping palettes for the sake of comparison", there really is no need to hang onto any palettes that have been discontinued. Understandable to want to keep certain palettes for sentimental or nostalgic reasons, totally get that. Have you heard of Project Beauty Share? They take partially used makeup and toiletries. There is a woman's shelter not too far from where I live and they do the same. I would recommend donating your decluttered makeup items instead of just throwing them away, unless they have gone bad.
Pretty Grunge is great for people who thought the Empowered palette was beautiful but knew they’d rarely wear it because of how warm it is. I don’t remember who said it, but they called Pretty Grunge the Empowered palette’s cooler toned sister. I was tempted by Empowered and ND My Dream Palette, but held off for that reason, so Pretty Grunge kinda fills that slot for me. It’s warm, but not so warm that I wouldn’t use it much.
People responded so well to the UD Born to Run palette, how have they not launched a second one like “Born to Fly” or something?? Seems like a no brainer but they prob missed the window now.
Definitely do "Shop my stash!" Yesss Girl, please. Its been a long time since you have talked abt Profusion. And Girl, I'd watch your videos no matter what. I really enjoy your videos.
OH my God I saw my name in the 1st Sydney Grace palette! WHAT?! I'm seriously flipping over the moon, right now. Yes, my name is Deanna. I usually go by Dee, tho.
You are so right Jen, this is super relaxing! One thing for sure Jen, I own six Moira new bigger palettes, few came with greeting cards insides, they are so beautiful and the formulas are as good if not better, IMHO, as high end. I don’t think I could ever part with them! Thanks a million for helping we wind down after a hectic day! I’m still praying for you Jen! Complete remission and healing! Love, Cathy ❤🙏🏻
I absolutely love Sydney Grace as well! Since you love green eyeshadows, you should try out their Heaven on Earth palette! Also, their Loves Journey palette is a must pick up!!😍😍💕
I'm watching and adding to the wishlist 😂 Thank you Jen, I watch you for a few years now, I remember when you hit 40k! I absolutely love your channel and your love for the drugstore. You're one of the last true RU-vidrs! ❤
Wow. Finally through both vids!! Man, you did a great job!! I had to laugh at the end with your sage walls and peach curtains. That had to be in the 80s. I remember those colors so well. ❤❤ great videos!!
Jen, you have no idea how much I've been waiting for this video. I love love love love eyeshadow palettes. You have some amazing ones too. I see a lot of dupes that you may not recognize. I also see a lot of repeated color stories as well. There's some I wish you would have kept too. Idk I am just enjoying this video.
I love the story about the palette your husband bought for you when you were first dating and beginning your beauty blog. That’s beautiful 🌹 My husband did similar for me when we were first together. He wouldn’t let me pay any of our bills, because I was a new hairstylist and buying all my own products and paying rent for work. We got some good dudes ❤️
I couldn't handle having that many pallets! Theyre all beautiful, but I'd get overwhelmed! I used to be an Urban Decay fanatic! I still swear by their All Nighter setting spray. Its the only one I'll use. So good.
Hi Jen, this was a good declutter I was putting so of the eyeshadow palettes on my wish list and both of the those Laura Gellers I went straight to Amazon and put them on my want list. Thank you for the series declutter !
This is such a pleasure to watch. Such a great de-stressing video. Your voice is soooo soothing. And listening to the details of each palette is really fun. Thanks for all of your hard work, Jen. You’re really the BEST! ❤
Wow such a great job!! Thank you so much for sharing this video with us! Thank you for your hard work on this video and all of your videos! This was seriously such a treat!!💖🥰
