Hey guys it's Courtney from Phyrra.net.
Welcome back for another Anti-Haul video.
This is another What I'm Not Gonna Buy!
This is inspired by Kimberly Clark's Anti-Haul Series.
If you haven't checked out her series, be sure to hop over to her channel.
I'll put a card up to it in the corner somewhere over here.
Now I do have a disclaimer to make.
I'm not making this video to bash any brands or to bash anyone or anything like that or
to put anybody down.
Or any people who want to buy these items that I'm talking about.
I'm telling you why I am not buying these items and why I think you may not need these
items.
Now I'm obviously not you.
We both have different tastes.
And if something that I say I won't buy is something that you absolutely would love,
you should do what's best for you.
I'm just talking about what's best for me.
I'm not saying that you're an idiot or anything if you decide you want to buy one of these
things that I don't want to buy.
I'm just trying to give you another perspective rather than the constant push of Oh My God,
BUY ALL THE THINGS!
I'm not being judgmental, I'm not that way at all.
If you want to know what I'm really like, come hang out with us in our Facebook Group
PhyrraNyx, I'll put a link in the description box.
I'm definitely not a judgmental person.
So I feel strongly that you should do what you feel is best for you but I just want to
make this as entertainment.
With this video I'm definitely trying to get you to think more about your purchases.
I'm trying to become more of a fan of shopping my stash.
And making use of what I already own because I have a huge makeup stash.
I want to be spending my money more wisely, rather than just buying every SHINY NEW THING
that comes out.
I know, in the past, I've been caught up in the 'Oh my god, it's brand new, I must have
it!'
And so now I'm trying to go the opposite way and be like, well, I already have like 50
purple eyeshadows, maybe I don't need just that.
I really am trying to promote making more careful, thought out purchases so that you
can expand your makeup collection and have more unique things aka buy cool unique stuff
rather than buy 4 dupes for things you already own.
Phaedra is dying for more attention, she's not getting enough attention.
The first thing I'm not going to buy is the KyShadow palette.
This is the Kylie Jenner (Kardashian).
I haven't bought a single thing from Kylie or the Kardashians and I'm not going to start
now.
Here's why, this palette looks like it's a 9 pan warm neutral palette.
This is a palette that EVERYONE owns.
It is a basic palette.
I don't want to use the term basic *** because I think that's really insulting and that's
not really what I'm saying with this.
What I'm saying is, you already have these staple shades in your collection.
You probably have 4 or 5 of some of these colors.
You've got a basic black, a cream, a warm brown, a neutral brown, an orangey brown,
a beige, you've seen all of these colors before.
You have them in triplicate.
They are not something that's gonna expand your collection.
You don't need them again.
I don't need them again!
I'm guessing that this palette is going to be overpriced just like the Kylie lip kits
are. and I'm not even sure that the quality's going to be there.
From my understanding, the Kylie lip kits are not even as good quality as the Colour
Pop, which comes from the same company.
So my suggestion is, if you're interested in this, I would actually look at Colour Pop
because it's likely to be a better formula and it's going to be a lot cheaper!
Next up is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Master Palette by Mario.
I was really excited when I heard about this palette initially, until I saw it.
And the swatches I've seen of it is that it's going to be 12 eyeshadows, 11 of which we've
seen before and one olive green.
I don't need yet another neutral palette of all of these colors that I just talked about
with the Kylie palette, that I already have in duplicate, triplicate, 4, 5, whatever,
10 of!
I don't need those colors all over again.
So I was really excited about this.
I bought almost every single Anastasia Beverly Hills palette that has been released.
You can check my blog http://phyrra.net/tag/anastasia.
I've bought almost every single *** palette.
But I'm not going to buy this one because it's just neutrals.
Boring neutrals!
With 1 unique olive green color.
On that note, don't buy a palette for just 1 color.
If there's a color that you really really must have, check the indie makeup community
for dupes!
Because you can more than likely find the same color or a better color that you can
get for much cheaper.
Basically for a fraction of the price you can buy 1 eyeshadow or you can spend like
$40 on a palette that you're only going to use the one color.
That would suck.
That would be a waste of money.
So save your money, do not buy that palette.
Unless something drastically changes, and it's not another neutral palette, it is not
worth it.
Instead, if you want to buy a unique palette to expand your collection maybe look at the
Anastasia Modern Renaissance palette.
I bought that one, it's a beautiful palette.
I'm wearing it on my eyes right now.
It's all of these unique reds and then it does have a lot of neutral shades but I even
played with some of the neutral shades.
I'm wearing Antique Bronze on my lower lid.
My lower lid color is a freakin' brown!
I'm making use of the palette when I wasn't sure that I would use that color.
Next up is the It Cosmetics Super Hero palette.
Guess what it is!
Do you know what I'm going to say?
Of course you do!
It's another neutral palette.
It is not a palette that's going to expand your collection.
It has nothing new or revolutionary to offer.
It's not anything exciting.
The It Cosmetics eyeshadow palette formula that I've tried in the past because I've tried
2 of their palettes was okay.
They were on the less pigmented side.
My friends who are afraid eyeshadow actually like the less pigmented eyeshadows from the
It Cosmetics palettes because they find them easier to apply and blend.
But for me I'm just like eh, no, it's not for me.
It's a little too boring.
Looking at this palette I'm like, there's nothing new here.
It's all neutrals, browns, greys, and a black.
And I'm over that.
I've got so much of that, I don't need it.
And I bet you do too.
I bet you have tons of neutral colors.
These companies keep coming out with all of these neutral palettes and I just don't understand
it because we are all so sick of them.
We don't need 10 million neutral palettes.
We need some fun palettes.
Duochrome palettes.
Something more exciting than 12 browns.
So no, I don't think that you need this palette.
I know I don't need this palette.
I don't even know what I would do with it.
Next up would be the Too Faced Holiday 2016 Palettes, Merry Macarons palette.
I just saw this palette and it was like it was a flashback to last year with, I don't
remember what the name of the palette was, but it's the same formatting, the same box
and mini mascara for the set.
And I'm just like, they keep regurgitating the same holiday palettes and collaboration
palettes over and over again.
I don't understand the regurgitation.
It's like, if we bought it last year, why would we buy it this year?
If we bought it 2 years ago, why would we buy it this year?
It's the same palette, it looks like the same colors.
there's 1 purple in it that looks pretty but I already know it's going to suck because
that's what Sweet Peach palette was like.
The purples in it sucked so bad!
And as somebody who loves purple, if it's not clear from my bed, I am a huge purple
person.
I love purple.
I'm wearing a purple shirt, my nails are purple (Orly Saturated), my hair is purple half the
time, so I really love purple.
I've got a *** tonne of purple eyeshadow.
And to look at that palette and go Oh there's a really pretty purple in it, no!
No!
I don't need that palette!
That is not a unique purple!
I already have probably 50 purple eyeshadows, sometime I'm going to make myself count and
swatch all of them.
Oh my god that's going to be an ordeal.
But there's no reason for me to buy an eyeshadow palette for just one purple.
Especially if it's probably not even going to be a good performing purple!
Because so many of the Too Faced purples have sucked.
(shakes head no) So yeah, I'm not going to buy this palette.
You probably shouldn't buy this palette and if you have the palette from last year, why
would you even need it this year?
Just, I don't get it!
Last, but not least.
And this is probably going to make a bunch of you hate me, but let's talk about the Melt
Cosmetics Rust Stack.
Now I love Melt Cosmetics, I bought their first 3 eyeshadow stacks.
The Radioactive, which was unique with 4 neon colors, Love Sick and Dark Matter.
Dark Matter has your basics, Love Sick has more unusual colors, like a really pretty
red that is very very close to Makeup Geek Mars, it has a really gorgeous peachy gold
Amelie, so those stacks are really great.
I actually really love their packaging, the innovative magnetic singles that stack on
each other.
Really cool.
I looked at the Rust palette and I'm like, why did they even release it?
Half the shades are very very similar to the ones you already have in the Dark Matter stack.
I mean, I was looking at it and once again, you have another basic warm neutral palette
that's really expensive for only 5 colors.
You've got a dark brown, a rusty brown, a yellow-toned brown, a peachy shade and a creamy
vanilla.
So those are 5 colors we all have, in multiple palettes.
we don't need this.
And while I will say that I love the fact that Melt Cosmetics puts a *** ton of product
in their stacks, I don't know what the pan size is for this one but in the past they
were huge.
A really great value for the price.
It's $58 for those 5 eyeshadows.
Your $58 is better spent elsewhere if you're looking to expand your collection rather than
just have more of the same neutral shades over and over again.
So I hope you enjoyed my second Anti-Haul video.
In short, I'm really *** tired of neutral palettes.
I'm really really tired of seeing the same colors I already own over and over again.
And that's why all of these products are not for me.
Now if any of these products are for you, you should totally do what's best for you.
And if you want to buy them, buy them.
If not, I would look at your stash and see, hey, do I already own these colors?
Do I want to go ahead and buy them again in duplicate or triplicate?
Just think about it a little bit.
I personally would rather save my money for more unique things that I don't already own.
Rather than buying the same things over and over again.
Because I just, when I realized just how many neutral shades I have, I'm like, I don't need
any more.
Unless it's something super unique, like a really cool, cool-toned palette or a neutral
duochrome palette, I probably don't need anymore neutrals.
Anyway, let me know what you think in the comments below.
