How much I’ve spent so far? + Lessons Learned from my 2024 Makeup Purchases! 

😇 Better to be ignorant sometimes

It’s in my plans! I may do one for eyes and one for face products

Ok! I put it on the list of videos to record

I skipped the Byredo primarily because it was out of stock when I desired it. Now I decided to skip it for the same reasons your mentioned: it’s a palette of one and done shades. Also, I own already the mid row. I swatched it in person a few days ago and it’s too metallic for me. So I think I can save that money. I like the old meteorites that I have purchased during last holidays. The fragrance seems more delicate. It may be the same concentration as the new ones but it’s definitely lighter. Lesson learned: no added fragrance is the way to go for me

Let me know how you like the Byredo one. I’m also still thinking about it. But right now I have things higher in my wishlist and I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the purchases I did. I need to slow down more 😘🤗

@@bobmindset I got it today. I went right for the blues, the only matt grey blue, the sky blue and the dark blue. I only worn these for about three hours, no crease yet, but it's still early to say how well they are wearing. They were easy to put on which is what I expect. I haven't collected palettes for very long, I bought some dirt cheap ones in 2018. In 2019 I got my first high end palette which was Anastasia Beverly Hills' Subculture, which is very pigmented, after that I mostly bought from Jeffree Star, some more Anastasia and Lime Crime (which seem to have less pigmentation). I probably started buying luxury in 2022, Isamaya's two Industrial palettes. Some early Pat McGrath palettes, and Natasha Denona. Not as a big luxury collection as yours. JSC and Anastasia have been my reference to how I judge other brands palettes. They don't need a extremely sticky primer or glitter glue, Smachbox 24 hour photo finish primer or Urban Decay Anti-aging eyeshadow potion have been good enough. If a shimmer shadow need glitter glue, then that is a big minus from me. I bought Ensley Reign's Cold Moon palette (lux price), it was the reason I thought I should skip the Byredo one. The shimmers from the Cold Moon palette don't sit well on my lids, they are also difficult to put on. I should have bought the Mineralscape palette right away instead, even though it's not high shine. I'll be using the palette through the week until I have tried them all. This is my first Byredo palette, so I don't know how it's compared to their other palettes.

Thank you so much for such a detailed response ❤️

I have a video about it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G7rpknrvv8g.htmlsi=gEgqEWfnSOtevlR8 Makeup starts at min 10

Thanks!

Thanks dear! ❤️ I decluttered my Lunar Nightshade for the same reason: that teal looked horrible on me. But it was a 2023 purchase so it didn’t belong to this video.

Thank you so much Lisa! Great that you love your purchases. Makeup is meant to give us joy! Hugs! 🥰

Will do!

Grazie cara! Xoxo
