I am also a makeup maximalist…but I don’t like having things just lying around I don’t ever use. It just feels wasteful. I have always been so impressed with your spreadsheets of usage for your palettes. It gives so much information. Matching personal excitement with usage is a genius way to look at things rationally, but also taking emotional response into account. Maybe one day I’ll do something as detailed. I’m trying something new for me this year, though. I’m using all my eyeshadow palettes once before reusing a palette for a second time. I already know the palettes I use all the time, and I’m making myself use them last. So far it’s been fun because (and I know this sounds bad) I forget how much great eyeshadow I already have! By doing this I’m rediscovering my own shadows, and I can compare palettes that do the same thing for me. I can keep the ones I love the most and pass along the ones that I don’t want to use as much so someone else can enjoy them. (My college age daughter and her roommates love getting my decluttered items) My new project has given me an excitement around my eyeshadows again and it’s fun!
I know it's cliché, but the fact that this is the most rational declutter (and you were not kidding!!) and that you are german gives me kind of a cosmic pleasure and I am loving it 😂 Kind of "the world is working as it should" thing. I would love to be as rational and thoughtful! ❤
Love the rational approach. I also like having lots of choices but I also don’t like things being around me if I’m not going to use them. So I do my declutters on that basis most of the time.
You can still get the baked Guerlain Ombres G formula of their OG quads. They are still available in their permanent line! All of these are the baked formula: 011 Imperial Moon 214 Exotic Orchid 360 Mystic Peacock 530 Majestic Rose 555 Metal Butterfly 940 Royal Jungle There are also 2 quads that were baked and were limited edition. You might come across on the secondary market and both are also BEAUTIFUL. 518 Summer Jean 777 Golden Stars
I cannot declutter any of my collection; however, if I were pushed into making a decision, it would be all of my Colorpop palettes. Now since I’ve started collecting Asian palettes, along with my Adept, PM, Nomads, Lethal, etc., also including new to my collection: Glossgods Metal and titanium Fox Grackle chat, Colourpop is being pushed out and ignored. Sadly ❤ Great smart declutter! Brava.
I feel the same way, but with my Urban Decay… I’ve really gotten into Indie brands over the last couple of years, but I still can’t let go of my mainstream palettes…
Well done! I haven't decluttered, yet, but it's definitely coming because I have a few friends that have been getting into colourful eyeshadow lately and I think they would definitely enjoy some of the palettes I never use.
I had to get rid of my one and only truly neutral palette. I had the Sultry by ABH, I got it in my one and only Beautylish Lucky Bag. Unfortunately brown looks dreadful on me, plus the shades were dry the shimmers not shimmering. I will never understand people that still keep and use palettes after their quality goes bad. Loved your declutter today. Your so organized, I could never put things together so nicely.
Have you ever tried any Sugarock palettes? I’ve seen them and they look amazing but are so expensive. I’m wary to order not knowing the quality - would love your opinion if you used them ❤
Did you try listing the Pat McGrath palettes on Vinted as well? I once sold a PMG quad there within hours of listing it so you might have better luck (especially if you're willing to lower the price a bit)
BTW, I’m Maximalist collector too, hence this is low to no buy year. It’s insane how much I accumulated this passed year. Thank the gods hubby has no idea; otherwise, he’d send to the insane asylum.
Completely rational & I love it! As for your pmg morherships, hold onto those for dear life! There are rumors swirling that she won't be releasing anymore! I find that hard to believe... But if it's true!? 😮
I love palettes and I have somewhat curated "collection" - it is an embryo level of your collection but still I browse what I've got and I deteste monochrome palettes, shitty shimmers and all mattes. And I also ask myself "if that was my one and only palette would I wear it"? If not BYEEE

I wanna do the same this year! I wanna use every single palette at least once and bonus would be using every pan once per palette 😬

All the German people i have ever known, are all practical and sensible people. ❤
It’s funny cause when I tell other German how I organise things with excel they look at me like I am the crazy one 😂
Love the way that you did this declutter! ❤ ❤ ❤ i can watch your content all day long!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
Me too!
Thank you so much ❤️
I love how you track and share your pallete usage, and your ranking system

I take a look! 👀
Love your analysis. I need to work through my collection but too scared to. Great video. I would love to see your storage arrangements ❤

Ella you are so cute. Your personality really shines in these videos
Well done!

Fantastic! ❤
This is great. Love the way you do this!!❤❤❤

The old ABH palettes are just bad imo 😂 Everybody loves and still hypes them but I am with you - dry, crumbly, bad.
Have you ever tried any Sugarock palettes? I’ve seen them and they look amazing but are so expensive. I’m wary to order not knowing the quality - would love your opinion if you used them ❤
I haven’t yet since the Color Stories where not really interesting me. When the right one is there i will try them ❤️
The end of year has been such a challenge here, I still didn't finish my inventory or my rankings!
I likely have at least 20 palettes that could go to friends and I just have 5 away. I too am a makeup maximalist. 😊😊😊😊😊
Hi, what is the name of the palette in minute 32:59 pretty please?😊 I rewind the video multiple times, but I couldn't get the name. 😂
It's the Haggard Ragnarok palette :)
Did you try listing the Pat McGrath palettes on Vinted as well? I once sold a PMG quad there within hours of listing it so you might have better luck (especially if you're willing to lower the price a bit)
I hate vinted with a passion for their toxic community. Plus it’s not allowed to sell used stuff there.
@@EllaKinkley It's not allowed but people do it anyway haha
Sorry that you had bad experiences with Vinted! I've luckily had only positive ones so far

It would be better if they rebranded and take a new direction instead of holding up the expectations high and disappoint the people
