Hey guys welcome back.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Courtney.
Today I'm bringing you my anti haul number
13.
You guys have been asking me to do another
anti haul.
You're like, "Where's your next anti haul?
I thought you were doing one a month."
Here I am and hopefully you'll love it.
Number one on my list is the Anastasia Beverly
Hills Soft Glam Palette.
Now if you've seen this palette, I mean, it
looks like such a snooze fest to me.
You have all of these super soft shades that
I feel like I've seen before, like lots of
soft peaches, which I do like peach, don't
get me wrong.
Lots of soft browns.
It just looks really tame, and boring, and
like we've seen it all before.
I feel like it's a recycled palette.
I feel like you can take pieces of the last
three or four Anastasia Beverly Hills palette,
put it together, and you end up with the Soft
Glam Palette.
Clearly I am not the target audience for this
palette.
I'm guessing this palette is probably for
bridal makeup artists.
I don't think it's for even your average consumer.
I think it's for bridal makeup artists who
are doing very conservative bridal makeup
all day.
I have friends who do bridal makeup and they're
like, "Oh yeah, this would be a great palette
except that it doesn't have enough shades
for deeper complexions for me."
I think it's basically meant for light-medium
skin, but I could be wrong.
Next up is the Too Faced Chocolate Gold Eyeshadow
Palette.
Now when I saw this palette I was initially
like, "Oh that kind of looks cool," but then
when I started looking at it more, I didn't
really feel like the colors were put together
in such a way that it looked very cohesive.
The hot pink and purple are not impressive.
I don't think the formula or pigmentation
looks good on those colors.
It's got a lot of warm, golden repeat shadows.
I don't really see how it would add anything
to my collection since I already own a lot
of quality metallic shadows.
I love my Urban Decay Heavy Metals palette,
so this is one that I'm going to skip.
I would say that if you haven't seen it yet,
you should go watch Makeup Struggles.
She did this amazing video on how she would
recreate palettes, or how she would make palettes
better.
I would buy every single palette she put out.
She's awesome.
I'm going to put a link up here so you can
go check out her channel and I'll put a link
in the description box directly to that video
that I'm talking about.
Her eye for color is amazing so please go
check her out.
She rocks.
Next up is the Violet Voss Hashtag Palette.
When I saw Violet Voss teasing a palette,
I kind of joked, "Oh look it's going to be
another like all brown palette," and this
isn't all brown.
It's really not.
It has one entire row that's all purples,
that I was looking at, that I'm like, "Oh
my god, I love purple, I need this palette."
Then I stopped myself and I went, "Nope, nope,
wait a minute.
Don't buy a palette if you're only going to
use one row of colors."
There will be three rows of colors that are
just sitting there that you're not going to
touch.
I do really feel like those three colors have
been done to death and that they are in so
many different palettes, it's just kind of
repetitive and boring.
I basically feel if you bought colors at all
during 2016 and 2017, you will have all of
those oranges and browns.
You may already have them in duplicate or
triplicate, so I'm not really sure why they
are there.
It's just not worth it to me, personally,
to buy a palette for one row of eyeshadow.
If it had been an all purple palette, I would
have bought.
You better believe I would have bought it.
I would have been like, "Hell yes, give me
that palette."
Especially if it's the same quality as the
Violet Voss Drenched Metals Palette, because
I love that palette.
I think it's a great palette.
I was so sad that Violet Voss discontinued
it, because it was like their only colorful
palette.
Next up is the Colour Pop Give It to Me Straight
Palette.
Now, initially I was excited because somebody
said, "Hey look Colour Pop is coming out with
a berries palette."
Then I saw the swatches and it's completely
a yawn, because basically it's a bunch of
browns, and then you have a brownish berry,
and a plum brown.
You don't really have any, what I would consider,
true berries.
If you haven't seen it yet, you should check
out my eyeshadow collection video, because
I have a Saucebox Forbidden Fruits Palette,
which has true berries.
You got a red, you got a pink, you got a purples,
it's gorgeous.
That's berries.
Berries are not just brown.
If you look at berries in nature, you got
strawberries, which are kind of red.
You've got raspberries, you know, you got
like real color, it's not just brown, or brownish
red, or brownish purple.
They had so much potential but it sucks.
Then I was looking at the Tarte Goal Getters
Brush Set, and that's because it's glittery,
and I do really like glitter.
I did recently just buy the Real Techniques
Purple ... I can't remember what this is called.
Insta Glam or something, but I really, really
love this.
This is sealed, the purple glitter doesn't
come off.
Unfortunately, Tarte skimped out on their
Goal Getters Brush Set, because the glitter
comes off in your hands, which is pretty gross.
It should have been sealed.
That's a complete skip for me.
On that note, I'm pretty much thinking that
I am done with Tarte, at least for now.
The fact that they came out with their shape
tape foundation, and hydrating, and matte,
and it's like 24 shades of beige, and then
all the rest are orange.
No, no thank you.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous that they
don't have shades for deeper complexions.
I watched Jackie Aina's video and Alissa Ashley's
video, and the foundation looked straight
up orange on them.
No, that is not what foundation should look
like on deep skin.
It should not be ashy and it should not be
orange.
That needs to be fixed.
Plus there was a huge jump like in you have
all of these light-medium shades and then
you jump down to deep, but the deep shades
don't even work.
So sad.
Get it together Tarte, fix it.
Next up is theBalm Meet Matte Shmaker Palette.
I actually thought this palette might be cute,
but I don't own any of theBalm eyeshadow palettes.
This is probably why.
Once I saw the swatches I was bored.
Initially I really liked the idea of theBalm
Meet Matte Shmaker Palette, it's the idea
of mattes paired with perfectly coordinated
shimmers, and then I saw the swatches.
No.
I only really like the olive green, the emerald
green, the plum, and the pink.
That's really not enough for me to buy a palette.
I feel like the rest of the shades were just
too boring for me to even want to touch.
Next up would be the OPV Beauty Oshun Palette.
I was really excited to discover a brand new
cruelty free brand, and then I saw the palette
they put out.
I'm like, "Why?"
This new palette is launching soon, but it's
like all browns and oranges.
These colors have been done to death.
I'm sure at this point every makeup lover
has enough browns and orange that we could
paint an entire army.
Now I know the Lucky Mystery Bag already happened,
but I wanted to touch on this.
Basically any mystery bag, I don't like them.
I think that they are a waste of money.
I've never not been disapointed when I've
done it.
I've done it a couple times, I did with Pure,
I couldn't use anything.
Basically their mystery bag was like, "Pick
your skin tone.
Fair, light, medium, deep," whatever.
Everything I picked was too dark for me, so
I was like, "This is really sucky.
I just wasted money on this bag and I couldn't
even return it."
I've seen a lot of people who got their Lucky
Bags complaining about what they got too,
so I just feel like it's a really high price
tag for a mystery bag filled with what may
be great, or may be shit, so it's not worth
it, to me, to spend money on it.
Okay, next up is the Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle
Lipsticks.
Now I was disappointed with every single Fenty
Beauty purchase that I made last year except
for my highlighter brush.
I love this brush.
I skipped the lipstick for two reasons, although
I did end up getting up free samples from
Sephora, which is completely different, because
at least then I can try them without buying
them.
The reason I didn't want to purchase anything
was that I didn't see any unique shades.
I pretty much wear my Urban Decay lipstick
all the time.
If there's not a unique shade that I don't
already own, I don't really want to pick it
up.
The freebies I did end up with were Mademoiselle
and I feel like there was another one in my
Sephora Gimme Lip Kit, I'll have to check
and see what it is, but I haven't tried them
yet.
At least I'll be able to try them.
I just figured if I was already disappointed
with the formula of so many other products
of theirs, because I was disappointed with
their foundation, I was disappointed with
their Match Stick Concealer, I was disappointed
with their highlighter, that I just shouldn't
even ... disappointed with their contour,
I just, I shouldn't even bother with the lipsticks.
I really wanted to love everything from the
brand, and so far other than my highlighter
brush, I haven't.
It hasn't worked.
Nothing has worked for me, which sucks.
Next up is the Coloured Raine Cheers to the
Beauty Palette.
Now this palette really legit confused me.
I thought the Queen of Hearts Palette and
the Very Cute Palette were pretty good quality.
I really liked them.
I didn't like the weird ass orange shade that
ended up being in the Very Cute Palette.
I felt like it was a little out of place,
but overall I felt like they were good quality
palettes, they had good colors.
Especially the Queen of Hearts Palette, the
formula feels very buttery.
When I went to go look at this new Cheers
to the Beauty Palette I feel like half, almost
half, the colors in it were repeats for the
Queen of Hearts.
Why would you buy it?
Unless you missed out on the Queen of Hearts
the first time.
I mean, I love silver and blues, don't get
me wrong, those are my kind of colors, I like
cooler tones, but I don't want to buy another
palette with a bunch of shades that I already
own.
It just isn't appealing to me.
Last but not least is the Beauty Bakerie Do
it for the Graham Palette.
Now I really like Beauty Bakerie.
I love the fact that they have their little
ice cream eyeshadows, because I've bought
a couple of those, and they work really well
for me.
They're really nice crème eyeshadow formula.
They make really inclusive products with their
concealers, and their brows, so I feel like
they do a really good job at being an inclusive
beauty brand, but looking at this palette
just made me sad.
Yes, it has a couple pretty duochromes, which
you know, I am a sucker for duochromes, I
love duochromes.
The rest of the palette was so just overwhelmingly
brown and orange.
I hate those colors.
I really do.
I just didn't feel like it was worth it for
me to buy this palette for just three colors.
On a personal note, I really do find colors
like warm brown, orange, and yellow, very
difficult to wear.
I think it's because I'm neutral, or neutral
cool yellow skin tone, and those colors just
don't look good on me.
They go muddy.
They're very difficult to wear.
I find it much easier to put on purples, or
pinks, or duochromes, or silvers.
Those colors I think look really nice on me,
but brown, orange, and yellow, no.
They're like my nightmare colors.
Anyway, that wraps up my anti haul number
13.
