ABOUT ME:
My name is Shelly and I’m a 43-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. I’ve got dry skin, fine lines starting to form, and some sun spots that I desperately wish to get rid of or cover up! Cameo appearances by my rescue cats Daffy, Polly, Ziva, and Merlin.

I don't depot my palettes because I like them, but have been wanting to create my own palette with singles for the longest time. Now I know exactly which palette I should buy!! I will definitely support Adept Cosmetics....seeing you get so excited over their products and mission has me sold. I completely trust your opinion and recommendations as I know and appreciate the research and testing you do. Nerds are VERY cool!! And a side note...my son is going to Comic Con today in NY :-)

Shelly, I just adore you! Love your enthusiasm, and your passion for causes that are important to you. Nerds are the best! 😘💝😉💋

I have several of their palettes and I absolutely love them. I especially love the one made for travel. Great video.

[lorindachristine]

Hooray for nerds, geeks, and supporting local, women-run, indie businesses that give back!! You're singing my tune!

[asassysenior]

I am an old geek so I don’t have a ton of palettes. In my day we had to ground colored rocks together. I love the idea of getting just the eyeshadow I use into one place. So I went to Adept website and found a damaged smaller palette for 10$!! Can’t wait to figure out the depotting thing and arrange in pretty color wheel rows. (geeks love to organize!) Thank you for turning us on to this great company!

I bought Adept’s very first Zpalette when introduced to them by Bailey B here on You Tube. I love that it is double sided and can hold a majority of my single shadows. When you compare the price of a Xlarge Zpalette that only holds like 35 and this holds 100 for almost the same price, it’s a steal!!!! Omg the table top palette is going in my cart now.. how awesome is that for home or for travel! Bailey B raves about their makeup palettes too, you should check her out. I’m going to wait to order until you become an affiliate, let me know sweets because I’d love to support you and Adept! Nerds rule!!!💋

“Breaking Shadows” sounds like a great book title! 😂

[Brandi_the_Baker]

Omg I wish I would have seen this last week. I just bought a sephora palette because it was on sale for 22 bucks from 45.00. I thought I was getting a deal but then I see this and I want it but just can’t justify it. Man!! Lol.

[macaylacallebs]

I've just recently found your channel & we're the same age & truly go to all of your foundation reviews bc we're dealing with some of the same issues but I don't just watch those videos I've started watching all your videos & I really love the way you do things so just keep up doing what you're doing bc I truly need you to tell me what foundation I need & which one's I don't so thanks for all you do

[karenhenderson]

I love the large palette I have from them!!! 💕

[helpfulnatural]

Nerds Unite!! I buy my coffee beans from a local roaster whose employees are all gamer geeks into Dungeons & Dragons and even post pics on their website. :D Those palettes are gorgeous...and HUGE! I wouldn't have the space for storing one of those, let alone all 3. The first one you showed was awesome with the lucite shield in between the 2 pans of eyeshadows. What a great idea! I too love to support companies that share the wealth with charities and/or social causes. It's so nice to know that not all companies are out to become some mega wealthy behemoth corporation.

[carriemroczkowski]

Nerds! Yes, F’ing A:)) Always happy to hear of new companies, especially indie. That palette is amazing. I’m going to have to check them out, for sure.
I picked up the SkinFood Egg White Pore Mask but haven’t had a chance to try it yet. Ulta was having a buy 1 get one 40% sale on SkinFood products so I got their Brightening Rice Scrub Foam. I only used it once but really liked it. I’m new to this brand. They seem to have a lot of nice products.
Thanks for the video.
You’re definitely the coolest nerd on YouTube🍃🌸.

[Jenniferemakeup]

I’m so glad you did this review! I am looking at buying a palette from them, but I wasn’t sure which one to get. I was actually going back & forth between all 3 of the palettes you showed. I have decided to go with the black one you showed.😊
FYI, If you offset the eyeshadows by starting the 2nd row of eyeshadows in between the 1st two eyeshadows on the top row & continue this pattern all the way down the palette, you can fit more shadows.

[RinaProjektRev]

Thanks for sharing! I love my Adept palette--I have the huge monster 88 pan one, haha!

[anjeesorge]

I love that this video came up in my Watch Later feed when I was right in the middle of depotting shadows into an Adept palette. Ha!

[emmer]

Thanks for this review! I want to depot some eyeshadow of brand I don't want to support anymore and I went with the Adept Palette!! So glad you had a review!!

[misadventuresofem]

Super freakin' pumped to see you review these palettes!!!

[ginnyburley]

I wish they made some smaller ones. I store my loose shadow pans in color-related families, sort of making my own palettes. I just don’t have room for big palettes, and for some reason don’t like to look at that many colors every time I need to make a choice. They certainly look like they are excellent quality, and I hope the company does really well!

[libbywildman]

What foundation are you wearing?It looks amazing on your face

[JamieHenderson]

How deep is this palette? Some of my makeup I feel will be too thick to fit. Thanks!!!
