I am taking small but crucial steps on an antiracist journey to reflect on my personal biases, (re)educate myself, and listen to the BIPoC community. This begins with acknowledging my white-adjacent privilege and by stating that I am an ally. I hear you, I see you, I am with you.

I find it difficult to suss out moral, ethical, quality, and sustainability standards with products made in China. It's from a labor + Earth perspective, nothing against Chinese people or brands who can guarantee certain standards. Until the Chinese government can ensure better labor laws for its people, I feel comfortable calling it out. I'm not hyper-vigilant (my bad about the Huda large palette that's made in Italy! I'll be more careful next time) and there are so many new things I'm continually learning. Best of luck on your own research journey. Thanks for your kind understanding! xoxo Diana

I love how thoughtful you are in this declutter and realizing what you truly want and need versus what you want to keep out of guilt or for your fantasy self.

[laurenskubish]

Most thorough declutter realistic I have ever seen

[mariana]

I think we are evolving to a mindset where we realize we dont need so much! I always look for declutter videos and lately i am seeing a trend, before it was a thing to collect make up non stop and now we are more conscious and aware. I celebrate that! And of course it is a journey, not something that will happen from one day to the other. Anyways, this was a great declutter!! Congratulations for this big step! Sorry if the english is not perfect i am a spanish speaker. Hugs from Uruguay ♥️

I have about 12 palettes right now and started a no-buy. I’m pretty content with my collection but I still am looking for specific colors and formulas to pad out the color options. I love how thoughtful you were in decluttering! I would loved to see them all laid out once you were done and seen the number comparisons :)

[violet_saint]

If it hasn't been said, the PUR raw beauty Kristi palette she said that one side has like a rose gold varnish and the other side the text is silver to help u tell the difference between the sides. To me it's a subtle difference but that's what she explained.

[almac.]

New subbie, love your commentary on brands that deliver eyeshadows palettes to only lighter people instead of delivering to people of all colors! As a Mexican american with medium to dark skintone gal, i can tell you that not every eyeshadow palette that comes out delivers a transition shade for me neither a dark enough color for the outer corner ! And i agree with you in the made on China palettes! 🥰🥰Keep it up 💪🏽

[KellyBean]

Your cast-off ND colors made a beautiful palette! Haha... i was like, woah- she should make that 😋

[harajukuyuyu]

I also did a ruthless declutter of my skincare & makeup a while ago! My previously maximalist ways really conflicted with my more minimalist ideals of, like you, having a curated arsenal of products. I felt so overwhelmed by the idea of having so many options. I went through a period of blindly buying products but always feeling disappointed with how they looked. I then realised my real issue was with my skin - I wasn't happy with it & nothing looks as pretty as skin that you've embraced. I also realised the best way to achieve the ~effortless look~ for myself, is to literally be effortless i.e. not feel as though I have to do the whole she'bang of bronzer contour highlight blush etc... So i quite literally Marie Kondo'ed everything & started new.

For makeup now I have

- 2 products from manasi7: skin enhancer and manketti all over colour which gives the chicest non-colour to the face (beautiful brand btw, I think you may like its image & aesthetics)

- mac shadow duo I've put together & a few lipsticks for different occassions (which btw mac is ??so good??still?? Has all the shades of brown shadows and browny lipsticks I crave)

- essence mascara(!!!! Crazy cheap and the best mascara I've ever used for my asian lashes)

I enjoyed this declutter process. I am trying to cut down my collection, too. I am purchasing only smaller palettes in the future. I do enjoy the variety, but not the volume.

[callioscope]

So thoughtful and thorough! Gray, cool mauves and taupes, and blue undertoned purples are my downfalls. Fewer of those are sold but still I have too much. That Rock Chick is calling my name, but I have three small Bobbi Brown palettes just like it and love them all! I can’t be as cutthroat as you, but your analytical sensibility is great. Stay safe. 🙏

[rosegarza]

I’m glad I found a channel and I appreciate your honesty and I can relate to you because I do not like pinks I’m more into blues and yellows and I don’t really use black and I also do a budget when it comes to eyeshadows pallets and I’m working on because I do love glasses and lipsticks.💕💕

[anitria]

Love decluttering eyeshadow palettes! Makes me feel like I’ve really accomplished something.

The Huda beauty palettes almost ALWAYS have that chemical smell. I thought it was just me because I’ve never heard anybody else say that.

[moonflower]

I own 4 of the mothership PM 5, 6, 7, 8
3 of ABH - soft glam, norvina and sultry and 2 of ND - glam and bronze. That’s a total of 9 🙌🏼
The monthly boxes is a definitely NO for me, I like to watch declutters because are relaxing and makes me feel so good about my collection.

[domoloveswaffles]

Your voice is so calming, can't wait for how this video will turn out!

[dialishious]

You gained a sub.
I love seeing someone think in the same way i do. For me it was made clear when i was working at sephora and i just didnt get excited about all the releases. I wanted to tell people about the awesome. Eyeshadow i already couldnt not have. It got to a point where i disnt buy one new product for a year. And i realized just what i like.

[palomgia]

Yay! Excited to watch this, been watching the whole series!

[Diana-lxxl]

🤭 my name is Diana too so when she said “Diana we learn from this video !” I’m like yes yes ! That’s my name ! she’s talking to me! 😂🤣🤣 hahaha gave me a shock

[laurenstaines]

I loved watching your declutter! Made it all the way to the end! Every year when I declutter my own eyeshadow palettes I always group together based on colour not brand. Every time I see other youtubers keeping so many of the same colour story it literally kills me hahaha

[leraever]

Hi. Great job. Huda’s big palettes are usually made in Europe, the small ones in China.
