This is what literally makes me love and trust you more than most influencers. You're not afraid to tell the truth about the high-end. Brands like make up by Mario. I absolutely do not believe that all of the influencers just love the same high-end brands. Thank you so 😂!

You can replace the mattes in the Adept palette that you don’t like with ones you like better from other palettes. I have switched out lots of shades to make the palettes work better for me. I really like when palettes are magnetic.

Wow girl. You might just be the queen of indie. Subscribed!

[shawndickson]

All the swatches were so helpful! Thanks for taking the time.

This was my 1st video of yours to watch. I appreciate you giving your honest reviews about the quality without bringing in any unnecessary drama about the brands. I look forward to these palette rankings every year, but I'm sad to say yours is the only one I've enjoyed this year. It was such a welcome surprise, and I can't wait to watch more of your videos!

You have become one of my favourite YouTubers this year.

I love ranking videos! Great job. I really moved to indie the last couple of years too. I may be switching back to mainstream though. I have enough indie shimmers and colors to last a lifetime.

[cherriesandglitter]

I adore how blunt and honest you are. Great content! Thank you!

[alexandreaturcot]

Also, I bought the Kaima cosmetics Boudoir palette this past year and it is a stunner! I am glad you have a code for future purchases 😉❤

I believe the Give Me Glow Vintage Rose and Christmas Morning are the same formula and packaging as the original release, for those palettes. Because those are the same palettes I bought from Give Me Glow years ago. They still perform beautifully, buttery and stunning metallics! ❤ The "new" palettes have smaller pans and a different packaging/layout. The mystical garden is an example of a newer release. Either way, stunning shades! Some of my tried and true favorites. Unearthly Cosmetics is my #1 indie brand! The Terra Moon palette doesn't represent what the brand can do, imo. Their singles are where it's at! You can pick and choose the colors and formulas you enjoy! Great ranking! ❤😊

Love an honest reviewer 👏 These end of the year videos are my favorite. I look forward to them every year. Thanks for sharing 😃

[tonihowell]

Love your channel. Just wanted to let u know, all unearthly palettes are magnetic, if u like to rearrange like I do! Happy Holiday!

[rabbiroz]

I love your honesty. I don’t know why I keep giving poor quality shadow brands so many chances. A color story comes out that I like and I forget that I don’t like the performance of the shadows no matter what the color story. In this day and age, shadows should disintegrate or fade or rub off . . . Especially when I’m wearing powder and glitter glue . . . . Trying for a 2025 no buy. We shall see. Great video. Happy New Year!

[sofill]

Yayyy thank you for showing more indie brands. I wish more creators did that 🥰 hope you have a great 2025!!

[michellecaudill]

Thanks for an outstanding consistent honest reviews! Not to mention all of the hard work & efforts you poured into this video. Well all your videos. Thanks & happy new years eve eve💕🙏🏻💯🥰😂

Go DeDe! I did not get the Cappacino palette but I am very inspired by it. I have those shades in my collection, so I can’t wait to create a look with that color story :) I’m really excited about the brand and her unique color stories.

[RoS-e-a]

Thanks so much for your review or Kaima Skullz and Roses - it helped me decide to get it. I just used it for NYE and it was perfect! Love the rainbowy sparkles dark shimmer 🥀 💀 🌈 💖

[TheMelegence]

Vintage rose by give me glow is one of my all time fave palettes. I’m thinking of repurchasing it again since I’ve had mine for sooo long and I’m hitting pan in the copper rose

[TraXs.]

Thank you so much for providing such detailed feedback on what made you rank each palette at its position 😊

I also got the Ghost Town USA from Nomad in a recent sale, and I'm disappointed, too. The swatches and the first try I did were decent but I was expecting more with all the hype that palette got. I'm sure that they improved their formulas in their latest release but I don't even want to try another palette from the brand 🤷‍♀️

Kari,
The Spring Magic palette is magnetic you have to use a strong magnet, I just rearranged all my Unearthly eyeshadow palettes yesterday.
My packaging on my new Just a Taste is crap too! I have to be honest, not all the Unearthly shimmers are great.
The Mothman shade from the Urban Myth is one of my favorite eyeshadows, but I have removed and replaced almost all the original eyeshadows in the palette, I put other indie eyeshadows in it, but love the packaging and use it all the time now.
