hi so I made an optimistic extrapolation based on a few comments that I read about the Hourglass face palette...on the Hourglass site you can customize the packaging/palette combo (i.e. choose your design) but you can't customize the palette itself. IT'S FINE sorry for spreading false information
I mean it only makes sense if they had been customizable the way you said it, I am not gonna lie, I got super excited about that and went to hourglass website right away to get me my perfect palette… but alas 😒
I got excited too... But realistically I only want one or two shades, so it would be cheaper to just buy those. The fact that I haven't bought one yet probably means that it's not worth it for me...
My heart hurt for you as you were expressing your excitement. It was like watching a reality show contestant express their feelings of safety from elimination that week when the audience knows they're doomed.
One of my cats is a little small princess who cries like she’s having her heart ripped out of her chest when I’m late for the bedtime cuddles and brushing. Obviously it works. I tried to resist at first but I can’t. I just can’t.
I felt all of the statement! My sweet chonky Siberian will cry to be let out….then will cry to be let back in. At 3 AM. Nonsensical doesn’t even describe it🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hannah, I needed this today. My dog passed away this morning, and she was my best friend for the past 12 years. I've been sobbing for hours and needed some calm relief. Thank you for your presence. You make my life better
Hey there Hannah! I have a tip that’s working for me with regards to overspending and impulse purchases that I thought I’d share here. I’ve made a hard and fast rule that I don’t buy anything after 7 pm. For some reason my shopping behaviors ramp up in the evening and so now that I’m enforcing this rule I’m saving so much money! It’s working like a charm. Yep. Going on a no buy every night 😊
Great tip! I’ll spend a day or a week persevering about makeup that’s caught my eye, I solidly present all the reasons to not purchase, then get in bed, grab my phone and order it. Sometimes the next day I think “did I really do that?” It’s like the tension builds and I release it, then sleep soundly. The remorse hits the next day when it’s too late to cancel the order. Anyway, great tip…I’ll try to heed it.
I feel like Urban Decay needs a lesson in the art of subtle marketing. They could simply format all their palettes in the same packaging as the Naked palettes, but not have Naked written on it, and people would still buy. Regardless of the naming and concept of the palette, it’s generally the packaging which ignites the collectors mentality. The original ABH palettes weren’t a part of a cohesively named collection, but the packaging that was the same shape and size caused people to want all of them.
@@karennash2085 I thought the same thing! I also think a name like that would be disruptive in a sense and would get people talking about the palette even more than they are now. Like it would be a nod to the Naked line without proclaiming itself Naked, too.
Why is it always so refreshing to hear a beauty guru say: “I like this, but I just don’t need it - I can do this with what I already have”? Ah yes, it’s because we really are attached to the buying of the thing. Thanks for continuing to serve the red pill, Hannah. ❤
Because many of them are trying a new product on the daily and all I can envision is landfills full of makeup thanks to them. I'm beginning to feel guilty watching them.
So true! I can now appreciate a beautiful piece of clothing or make up for what it is, without wanting to buy it. That's because of Hannah! I used to have a real fear of missing out if I didn't buy something, but now I can just admire it from afar.
@@silkehuybrechts7832 yes it’s so powerful! I can now say “Wow, that is such a cool vintage piece, but I know that polyester doesn’t work for me in this climate,” admire it and WALK AWAY. It seems so simple but it feels absolutely groundbreaking.
@@chaoswitch1974 your comment made me think about the common BG defense of “I have to have all this makeup because this is my job.” And then I remembered all the times Hannah has reminded us not to buy the thing if we are on a no-buy, don’t have budget or need for, etc., even if it’s a product she likes and recommends. And I started wondering why more BGs don’t make that disclaimer. Then I remembered: Well, duh, it’s because it’s actually their job to sell us the stuff! 🤦🏻♀️🤯
Something that's super cool about the Huda palette is that she included braille on the back of the packaging for vision challenged disabled folks! I don't know if I've ever heard of that on makeup packaging before, but I think it's awesome that she's making her makeup more accessible!
I love viewing makeup as a genre of art supplies. I love art supplies of all kinds. I’m not a person who puts on makeup for the everyday very much, but I love to come home and play around with artistry and cool bold looks atleast several times a week. It’s completely for myself. I feel guilty getting makeup because I don’t weak it out, but then again I don’t do my makeup for other people. Other people rarely see it. I just love to play with it. I love to hold it in my hands. I love to organize it. I love to test formulas.
I can relate. I don’t get to get out much, but when I do, my makeup is usually very basic. But I have so much colorful, glittery makeup that I put all over my face when I’m just playing around at home. But I love it
That is how makeup should be! What is the point, if we are not doing it for ourselves? We should definitely only do it for ourselves and no one else. If others get to see our art, then fine, but they don't need to.
It's like the equivalent to someone who has their sketchbook at home. They don't take that thing into the streets and show it off to all the strangers around - it's for their own artistic expression and enjoyment. I think it's easy/natural to feel a certain level of guilt when it comes to makeup because we were traditionally socialised to think that makeup is to be worn by a woman to make her look & feel more beautiful, confident, "put together", etc. so that she could go out into the world putting her best foot forward. But that's all just silly marketing. If you think of your face as your sketchbook, that pressure goes away! 🙆🏻♀️✨🎨
I think this palette would be naked for the girls in the artwork whose skin is blue. I like that it reaches toward the people who love color and say “blue is my nude” who hate traditional nudes. It’s abandoning what Naked always meant to reach people who love to only make colorful choices and I kind of like that
the hourglass palette isn’t as customizable as they made it seem. It’s a choice of three set palettes with your choice of packaging. Made me feel better about it being out of my budget.
I feel like these videos help me train myself to think and talk (to myself) differently about beauty and my own spending habits. I've been a big overspender for a long time. And lol, I live in Norway, so half of the products haven't even been available to me without paying people to ship it to me from the States. I recently just took a long, hard look at my collection and I started crying, not because of the wasted money, but because it's the perfect illustration of my hedonistic lifestyle and mindset. And how fast I get used to and bored of the things I really, really (REALLY) want for an hour or a week or a month. I rarely buy makeup anymore, because I have so much I haven't touched yet. My new rule is to only replace items I've used up OR buy something completely new if it's something I really don't have in my collection yet. And now I'm exited to try a new conditioner when I run out, buy my favourite moisturiser when I actually finish one. Funnily enough, that gives me the same dopamine hit and satisfaction as the huge Sephora hauls I shipped overseas last year. But I can still feel the urge to spend money come back as a coping mechanism when I have a rough week or month. So thank you. For the encouragement, community, and for sharing your thoughts. You make me feel less alone, less hopeless, more in control, and more aligned with my actual values.
Perhaps you should do a “build your own face palette” to help sate your desire for a face palette! (And if a magnetic palette doesn’t work, put the products in a little bin! Or on a nice little tray, so you can lay products out and see everything!)
Not me crushed that Hannah has been withholding the Kaleidos tea from their newest collection. This girl here is ready for a dedicated video with all the DEETS on the one collection currently making me drool.😭😂💕. Maybe I’m alone though so I will take whatever I can get. But I feel, whether or not I can make this happen budget wise for myself, your review is the only one that could satisfy me either way, by knowing if it’s worth it and if I can’t get it, living vicariously through your detailed descriptions of every last delicious item.
I think my cat cries at the stairs like a homing beacon or sonar. I always respond so he knows where I am but my theory fails miserably bc he continues to cry. 😂 nice to see Sadie doing well and making an appearance.
Hannah not to be an enabler but you would LOVE Pat’s Desert Orchid blush. It’s a beautiful light terracotta with a sheen - not shimmer- throughout. It’s my favorite blush in my collection. That bronze five pan is on my wishlist! It’s so stunning - and not rosy!
I completely agree with your suggestion to edit the Huda pallette to be a 12-pan eggplant dream! Especially since orangey-browns are already present in most fall-tones palettes anyway. Huda is saving me money by failing to edit down😅
I'd love to watch you play with the Kaleidos collection. 1) for the liners ofc, but also 2) to see what you can do with these purple shades, which don't seem to be what you go for normally. A challenge, if you will: can Hannah pull off those periwinkles and indigos?🤔
You entire aesthetic is so calming and Goddess knows that I need calming today. You’re legit the functional adult beauty content creator and I am here for it. The releases recently range from hmmm interesting to who, what, where, and why the f. Thank you for editing it down to the things worth mentioning, still not buying any of it but I enjoy hearing your thoughts❤
Yesterday, I was sewing all day and every time I moved there was a cat on an adjacent surface and they just had to lie down where the pins and needles were...and they were so offended when I wouldn't let them lie down there and get stabbed...
Sometimes I think out cats would really prefer us to just lay or sit in the one place, quietly, always available to lay on and only moving to refill the biscuits. It's a dream of mine to be able to fulfill this need...
Thank you for always reminding me that being inspired and excited by a product doesn't mean I have to run out and buy it. I'm so glad you have this weird job of talking about beauty on the internet 😊
Hannah, I can't belive how big of an impact you have on my life. Because of you I discovered what I love. I have always worn makeup but I rarely liked it. Now I know that I am as pale and olive as you are and can for the first time in my life really take someone's advice. You have shown me products I may buy because I for the first time am sure they will work for me because they work for you. You have such an awesome personality I can't get over you really. What a perfect human being. I would love to be more like you. Thank you for everything you are doing. I have no words for you and you work. Wish you the best, love ❤️
I too have become a Pat McGrath lover in the past 1 1/2 years. Although, it’s been working to my advantage because, in my eyes nothing on the market compares to how much I love the motherships. I bought exactly one eyeshadow palette this year and it was the new mothership. Almost all the new releases even from my favorite brands (kaleidos and Natasha denona) just seem to pale in comparison to how much I love the motherships I have. I’ve been patiently waiting to try her blush formula as I prefer blush/cheek palettes to singles and she finally released some. That will be the one thing I pick up from this collection. I would love to hear you review her blush formula if you end up trying it one day
I don't watch IG reels or YT shorts ever, but I would 100% make an exception if you were willing to give us your takes on those low-hanging fruit items you mentioned in the beginning (in some sort of short-form format, assuming that's less effort for you) 😆
I think these hot takes were great. I feel like you've inspired me to look at palettes in their entirety to decide if I truly need it, or can just admire it from afar. Thank you.
I love that you call them "art supplies" So many of us beauty afficinados are shamed for our hobby, when it is indeed art. I mostly do nail stuff, and i get that as well, I am going to use that angle. Not to justify spending, but to inform others it is not a frivolous pursuit
I think the Urban Decay palette might be in the Naked line also because the artist they're collabing with on it does aliens with blue, pink, etc skin tones. But then again that probably is just their excuse for it to be naked
I love that you get into the nitty gritty and allure of make up but can hold back and just choose one or two things to buy. I too try to have this mindset. We just can't buy everything we want because if we do buy everything it takes away the 'treat' aspect and I think that is what we are really seeking.
I survived not purchasing the Hourglass Elephant Palette, thank goodness, but along came Mama Pat with her Holiday Collection. 😱 I ruled out the big palette immediately but the cool toned version of those smaller palettes had me scared. When those came in at $39 (I think) I was so relieved and plan to purchase it. The blush palettes are calling to me but I plan to skip those too and be happy with my one eyeshadow palette. I am already requesting a “Black Friday It is on sale” Hannah video to try to keep myself in check about the sales? That is as dangerous for me as all of the new releases? Cringe 😬 😂 Thanks Hannah! 💗
I was sorely tempted by the Hourglass palettes BUT I decided to be sensible and instead purchased a secondhand leather jacket. I am happy with my decision. 😊
in my opinion you made the right choice 1000%!!! That jacket will only get better! You'll be wearing it with joy years after the palette would have gotten dusty and forgotten
Omg. My feelings EXACTLY about the gorgeous DM palette. Also, I’m sure you have already heard this, the Hourglass isn’t fully customizable. The sets are well, set…you can just choose the package. They actually made it easier for us to stay away😂
That one gold shade in the huda palette "limitless" supposedly is full of gold flake, which should in theory make it very textured. I've actually only ever been tempted by two huda palettes, the rose quartz (didn't buy it) & this new one. I probably won't purchase, but it's very pretty!
To me the naked line represents a more “wearable” way of wearing the color that the palette represents. For example, the naked honey is a wearable palette for people that like yellow and gold. In this case the same could be said. Given all the warm neutrals that the more intense colours are paired with, this can be a more wearable way to wear these colours and so they just drifted away from the monochromatic palettes but its still a naked palette.
You could apply the same logic to the Naked Cyber and suddenly the palette makes a lot of sense. Viewed as a "colourful palette with some duochromes", ppl were very disappointed, but if you switch your perspective to consider it as a "wearable, toned down colourful palette with approachable duochromes" you end up with a much more satisfying experience, I think. I, for one, love the Naked Cyber because it allows me to get quick and easy washes of colour with minimal time or effort spent blending things out
@@palettesandpans I still want the Naked Cyber because 1. I love duochromes and those shades are amazing 2. It has that kinda 70s, Blade Runner, naked-android take on sci-fi that I have seen NOWHERE else. If I weren't worried it would be too warm-toned for me, I would honestly get it as a Christmas gift to myself
@@palettesandpans I have enough warm neutral mattes that I can't justify it 😭 I'm very cool-toned and I feel like they just look weird on me, so I barely wear them anyway
The newest Pat McGrath holiday pallet to me looks like a microcosm of her OG motherships with the golds/pinks in separate quints. Which is super smart for collectors and new folks alike. If you don’t have the big ones this is a great way to get a version of the first 3(and arguably 5) in one pallet at a lower price
@@lonewolf8667 subliminal is on my list too ❤️ my sister gave me her decadence palette and it’s beautiful but it doesn’t have any mattes so it’s definitely a companion palette you whip out to add a a statement pop. She found she didn’t reach for it much and I think it’ll be one for a night out look for me.
I'm currently in Julia's Compassion course & it's been LIFE CHANGING, HANNAH! I cannot thank you enough for the rec & the dream course sounds amazing!!!
Oh wow I would buy a bronze neutral version of the Danessa palette (maybe with some greeny bronzes) in a heartbeat. I LUSTED after the volume 3 and almost bought it used on Poshmark for over $200 twice. I didn’t. Then she came out with the edit which was actually just the shades I wanted without the highlighters no one wanted. It was EXACTLY what I’d hoped would happen when she released that. And I bought that immediately and was SO excited. I’ve worn it twice :/
UNIQUE! Anyway, I have a very unpopular opinion: I think that Pat Mcgrath palette is soooo ugly! I feel like Makeup Revolution does those color stories all the time, but when it’s Pat, suddenly everyone is interested, lol. If I hadn’t bought the ND palette, I would be considering the Huda one, because I like the color story and the quality of the Rose Quartz is amazing!
I'm so relieved she decided to do another mega palette. If it were split into 3, 6 pan palettes I'd have already ordered 2 of the green one haha. I think I'm going to save up for the cheek palette though, so I can have a Pat McGrath on the eye and cheek moment.
Your channel is so refreshing honestly Hannah you've quickly become one of my favorite people I love that you don't encourage overspending, Your personality and the chill/casual vibes your videos evoke it feels like catching up with a friend over some coffee. That being said even though I'm saving up money to go to Europe next year I couldn't resist the allure of the Celestial Nirvana Mega palette 😭😭 Why must Pat tempt us so
Thank you so much for the reminder regarding Julia's Dream Tending class! You and I were in her Compassion class together this past spring (thank you for the rec!) and I got so much out of it. XOXO
Hannah- just a big thank you for helping me recover from my RU-vid triggered make up shopping addiction. You are wonderful and a pleasure to watch. Sadie is just like my kittie 🥰
Your interaction with Sadie reminds me of a flatmate we used to have whose boyfriend at the time used to stand at the top or bottom of the stairs and repeatedly call out her name until she came to find out what he wanted - needless to say they didn’t stay together 😂 Also appreciate that the list of things that ‘we aren’t discussing’ provided the appropriate sprinkling of shade 😂
You hit the nail on the head with hourglass! I had no idea you could build your own; so glad you mentioned that! Please do it and lead the way for us!! Film selecting your colors, the thought process, purchase, and review.
Reporting back: you can't pick the individual shades. They are sold as bundles of colors, but you can choose the artwork that you match with that bundle.
I really felt you when you said we don't need a pilot with different transition shades because I'm sure everybody has their favorite one transition shade that works with their skin tone they can just have fun and put beautiful special color schemes together
I have been suffering from Pat McGrath fever since 2018 so naturally my house is infested with PML items. Since you are in doubt about the blushes, I can offer my opinion as a long time user. They are my most long-lasting blushes in my collection...lasting through full work days and mask wearing. The formula is really exceptional and the embossing doesn't fade away. I can honestly say Desert Orchid is my favorite blush ever.
I loved your take on the huda palette, I love those peachy shades but it definitely feels a bit unfinished on that side. Maybe we will get lucky and she will release an obsessions 9pan with the same color story 🤞🏼
This is totally a random take and I haven't heard it anywhere as to why, but I feel Urban Decay calls any palette Naked at this point because of the HUGE success the OG one did back in the day... So they keep extending the line, in hopes people will just buy to have a "complete collection."
Wow, when you cut off the right section of the Huda palette I fell in love. I would totally buy that. The Danessa Myricks palette is definitely tempting me. Hopefully she'll release a smaller version of it like she did with the last lightwork palette.
I definitely don't need anymore eyeshadow, especially large expensive multi-pan palettes in Autumnal color stories. I do need to find a good formula in a foundation for the Winter. I'd really like one without any spf, HA, fragrance or skincare added that is lightweight, medium coverage & slightly blurring. Sigh.
I'm using mostly the Mothership V palette every time I do my makeup for the last 6 months. I'm right there with you, late to the party but loving every minute of it. Of the new Pat Mcgrath collection, I think I would go for one of the blush palettes... but then as you went on to say how it would get pushed to the back of the drawer I thought of all the beautiful blush palettes I've done that to. Surprisingly my favorite blush palette, the one I reach for daily, which is odd for more reasons than I can even articulate, but particularly because it has a luminous sheen. It doesn't need highlighter. Also, I received it in a beauty box... It's the Seraphine Botanicals Happy Hibiscus palette. I love it so, so much and I didn't even think I'd use it. Yet, going back to matte, light coral blushes seems so boring now. This palette is so pretty I can't believe it. ♡♡♡ if you haven't tried it, I highly suggest finding it for inexpensive on Mercari or ebay from somebody who didn't use it from their box. I know you'd love it as much as I do because your preference for blush is similar to me.
So I've put myself on a no buy til Black Friday sales. It's probably a good thing, because I am suddenly so tempted to buy a ton of eyeshadow. I want the new Nomad palette but I think I will buy the ski lodge palette come black Friday. I might indulge in more than 1 palette but the Ski Lodge palette gives me winter vibes and I really and wanting a baby blue shimmer. I feel like by the time Black Friday comes around I'll be in the mood for more winter tones and it will be perfect timing. I might also buy some quads from Kaleidos come black Friday but my primary focus for Black Friday is makeup brushes. I want some sets from Sigma and I want to wait for a great sale before I make that investment.
Your makeup hot takes are def one of my fav videos to watch ever ❤ also if people didn’t know Sadie was a cat you could definitely assume a person was at the top of the stairs crying until you heard the meows 🤣🤣🤣
I bought the Hourglass elephant palette. Sadly couldn't switch to the tiger packaging as that was out of stock. I'm glad they have 3 options but would have loved to have the option to customize each shade since i can't see myself using up the highlighters.
Ya know, Pat McGrath had a vault sale a week or two ago and I snagged the Platinum Bronze palette, even though it wasn’t considered the best by a portion of her consumer base because I knew those were the colors I would use all day, everyday. The palette doesn’t even have any of her super special shades, just like you said for the newest Mothership palette, and I am still grabbing for it because the shimmers are so nice all over the lid for a simple look. Watching these videos from you has helped me to curb my impulses and really just look and buy what I’d really want and use, even though many releases are really pretty.
I want to take the dream tending course. I've always had such vivid dreams and I know they mean so much, and I can always get the basic lesson.. but there are so many details and nuances that I dont understand. I'm going to try to budget for it and hopefully take the course and some others I saw on her beautiful site with her soft soothing voice. Thank you for telling us about Julia. Can not wait to tend to my dreams.
Wow that Huda palette is lovely! It reminds me so much of Moonlit Seduction which I have and looooove. Totally agree with you about the meh peachy shades as a fellow olive
Just broke my anti haul for some Laura Mercier setting powder, some ABH cream bronzer and an orange Buxom blush. I'm going to a wedding in Florida soon that will be upscale and beautiful. The old products I am 'frankening' and mixing (like mixing older concealers into tinted moisturizers and grinding warm contour palettes into my too-light powders) are totally fine for everyday, but I want to look like I had my makeup professionally done for this wedding. :) All I've done is work, work, work for the past 14 months. WORTH IT!!!!! :D EDIT - P.S. - Love your look today!!!!!
Not sure if you know, but in the Huda palette the matte black and the dark brown in the first row are cream that could be used as a base, eyeliner, or cream shadows. Also the middle one in the second row (going virtically) is powder outside, cream on the inside, and the bottom in the 4th row is some kind of hybrid as well. Those are the reason I am even considering getting this palette, especially because I usually don't gravitate towards warm nuetral palettes, and thought you might like to know.
We are vibing, Hannah. I got a group set of the two tiny palettes and the mascaras. I’m totally eying a blush palette also. 👀 This is my holiday beauty budget blown, but oh! The new goodies feels!!!
I always play around with my pallettes when I watch your videos and I had the Urban Decay Born to Run pallette in front of me. I love the pallette it has beautiful deep grungy shimmers and some punchy mattes.
You are such a makeup analyst and I love it. I really enjoy your view on all things beauty and I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly with everything you say.
I actually owned and used up a face palette last year, the by terry beach bomb . Still as anything pre made was not perfect. The bronzer and blushes were very good, but the highlighter was just meh, not showing up on me and i never use it as undereye powder. However the size was so convenient, small beautifully designed square, that i finished the bronzer and one blush, then repressed in there another older bronzer of mine and an old dried up chanel blush mixed with the highlight shade. Then after panning again all these ( pan size is thankfully slow) . I let it rest for a bit. I wish i could buy refills for it
Your recommendation for the Huda palette was spot on! Looking at it, I was very meh. When I saw the edited version you suggested, it became something I had to have. One can only hope someone from the company sees this. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I bought the hourglass ambient ghost pallet for myself in winter 2019 and i use it EVERY DAY. It was soooo perfect for my skin tone and everything. It's lasted forever, and I only finally started to hit pan, so I feel no qualms about dropping some coin to get a new pallet from them this year.
Another note with hourglass face palettes, they’re customizable in the sense you can choose which packaging to go with which set of 6 powders. You don’t actually get to customize which powders are in it.
I would love to see what shadows you have in your collection that are close to the Kaleidos ones. Specifically the shimmers, but would be interested to see the mattes as well. I'm just wondering how special they really are. And then for the multichrome eyeliners - I am wondering if that formula would transfer (I have hooded eyes, so I drew a wing - wondering how that would go). Do they dry down budge proof? Do they show up really well in the waterline? And most importantly - are they really giving more than what I already have with my multichrome shadows? Thanks Hannah! ❤️
I could listen to you talk about makeup for hours!!! I love the hot takes and hearing your perspective. I'm always intrigued by your eye looks and how you play with eyeshadow. Loved it. The Pat McGrath 5 pans are both gorg!
