 Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, I'm going to be ranking all of the eyeshadow palettes that I tried in the month of October from the worst to the best. So if you want to see what comes out on top, then just keep watching. I want to take a second to thank Ana Luisa for very kindly sponsoring this video. If you've never heard of Ana Luisa, I'm really excited about our partnership. I absolutely love their jewelry. I've been wearing this specific pair of earrings nonstop for the past couple of weeks and I'm really excited to finally talk about them in a video. I think so many of you guys will love Ana Luisa. Their pieces range starting at only $39. I actually have gotten messages from you guys asking me if Ana Luisa is the real deal, if their jewelry is actually quality. And yes, I have sensitive ears, you guys. And I've been wearing these earrings for four days straight, literally sleeping in them, showering in them. And my ears are not irritated at all. I would say typically I can wear jewelry for about a day before it starts to irritate my ears and nothing. Four days straight, sleeping, everything. The jewelry is still intact after the showers and my ears feel great as somebody with sensitive ears. These are good, I promise. Not only do I love their jewelry, it's very important if I'm going to partner with a brand that I actually love the brand and that it's a good company. And I 100% stand behind Ana Luisa. One of the really cool things that you might not know is they have a sustainable mission. So I'm going to read this word for word because I can't word it better. But here is what they say. We offset 100% of our carbon emissions starting with the sourcing of our raw materials all the way to the disposal of our pieces. Meaning we give back for everything we take. Think of it as fair trade with Mother Nature. So not only are the people very kind behind the company, but they also are a sustainable company as well. Let me quickly show you the pieces that I picked out this round. This necklace is also from Ana Luisa, but I've shown you guys this one before, but I want to share with you the earrings that I picked up. So we'll start off with the ones that I'm wearing right now. These are the Fritas, they are $49 and it's just a dainty little hoop with a pearl at the bottom. If you love dainty jewelry, I feel like Ana Luisa does the best with dainty jewelry. You can really mix and match all of their pieces and they're going to look good together. I've been on the hunt for really beautiful dainty earrings that aren't going to irritate my ears, so that's why I have three different earrings today. These are the Sia, these are $59 and these are adorable. They are mini paper clips in love with these. I also wore this pair a lot in my videos as well. What a cute everyday pair of earrings, love these. I also picked up this super sassy pair of pearl earrings. This is called the Joanne, it is $59 and it's like a really cute classic pearl earring with a little twist. I love the chain that hangs below the pearl, it is so cute. So those of you who are interested in picking some items up, now is the time to do it because they are having their Black Friday sale. I will be putting my affiliate link down below for you guys to check out and see what the sale is. I really do stand behind this print, so it's very hard for me to hold back and not make it sound like a giant commercial. But just check it out, they have some great dainty jewelry, I think you guys will really like it. You guys know I'm passionate about my jewelry, okay? Alrighty, so now let's get into the good stuff and talk about our palettes. So the month of October, I'm sorry this video is going to be so long because there were so many palettes that came out in the month of October or that I at least picked out and tried for the first time. I have 16 palettes here to talk about with you guys and I believe that's the most I've done so far as far as these monthly raking videos. So let's just get into it. We're going to start off with number 16 and I am so surprised that this was my least favorite palette that I tried this month. But truly, I'm just not into it, you guys. This is the Natasha Denona Zendo palette. I think I give this a pretty neutral, leaning, pretty good review and you know what? I still stand by my review. It's just these aren't colors that I really find myself liking. So there is a dodge shade in here. I really do not like this gorgeous shimmery coral shade, which honestly should be the best shade in the palette and it's not. I even used this palette earlier today to double check that I really did dislike this palette. And yes, I really do dislike is a strong word, but I don't like this palette. Okay, so this coral shade is not good. It barely shows up. I do like the matte shades that are very good quality and honestly, so are the two shimmers. So I don't think with the exception of this shade that quality is lacking here. I just really don't like this color story for me. It's not cohesive in my eyes. I know there are definitely a lot of different looks that you can create. There's a lot of ways that this palette actually is cohesive, but for me, for my eyes, for my preferences, for my taste, the looks I like to create. I really just don't feel inspired by this palette. I don't feel excited to use this color story. Like I said, this shimmery shade is gorgeous. This deep brown shade, absolutely gorgeous. You can create a gorgeous silver smoky eye, but I'm just not into this palette. Now Natasha has come out with some pretty bad quality mini palettes. This isn't one of them. This isn't bad quality. I just don't like the color story for whatever reason. Moving on to a number 15. Now this I just don't like because of the quality, but I love the colors. So this is the Urban Decay Stoned Vibes palette. I finally tried this out. This was in my collection for a long time before I got the chance to put it on my eyeballs. I was so excited because I thought the colors were absolutely stunning in this palette. But application-wise, I definitely struggled with this palette. I found that the mattes were not good at all. I couldn't get them to blend. It was a lot to work with and I didn't really like the color choices that they went with. I just didn't really feel like they were as cohesive with the shimmer shades as they could have been. Now the colors of the shimmer shades are stunning, but the quality in here is just too inconsistent for me to be able to say good things about this palette. Like this raw energy shade is one of the worst colors I've tried this year. Honestly, there isn't a good quality shimmer in here in my opinion. They're just really pretty. So oh ho, I can make work. Jade, I can make work. Opal Ara is stunning, but you really have to press these into the eye. Otherwise, they're going to be a flaky mess all over your face. The reason that this is ranking higher than the Natasha Ginona is just because I'm more tempted to reach for this, because I think the finish and the color of these shades are absolutely stunning on the eyes. But it is a whole lot of work to get there. And you know, I can't rank it higher because the quality just was not there for me. Moving on to number 13. I'm very surprised this ranked low, but I just I think I was more so disappointed by this palette. This is the Pat McGrath Labs Fleur Fantasia Quad and this is not a bad quad. The quality in here is actually quite nice. It just wasn't what I was expecting. It's a little bit too light for my preferences. And I normally do like a nice light, soft eye, but I was expecting a little bit more from Pat McGrath. I don't know. I just think the other quads that came out in this collection were way better. I just don't find myself wanting to really reach for this quad. And I think that that speaks a lot about the quad. I will be honest, I haven't used this more than twice, but I haven't been tempted to grab for it at all. And it just wasn't what I wanted it to be or expected it to be. I'm not saying it's a bad quality palette. Now, this one is actually a good quality palette. It's just not something that I want to use. And I know a lot of you do love this palette. You love how soft and pretty the eye look is. I don't know. I'm just it doesn't excite me. And I was really disappointed because that's the one that I was the most excited for just based on the promo pics. But then I got it and I was like, oh, that's it. I think I just named the Pat McGrath the wrong number. But whatever. Let's move on to number 13, which is the makeup by Mario Master Matz. Now, I love me a good all matte palette with all of these different tones because I find a palette like this just to be so useful and so versatile. And I think we're so into pretty glittery shimmery shades that sometimes we forget how great masks are and how flattering on the eyes they actually are. So I do like this, but I don't think he has the best matte formula in my opinion. I found these a little bit more difficult to blend. It just isn't the best quality that it could be. Now, unfortunately, I'm a spoiled brat and I believe I've tried some of the best of the best mats. So as somebody who has had a taste of some really great matte shadows, these just aren't on par with those. So I think to the normal average consumer, this palette is probably fine. But for me, when I use this palette, I just want to pull my busy art neutral mats out because I feel like the shades are so much more pigmented. They're much more creamy. They're more blendable. So this is more so of a matter of I just know that there's better out there. So I don't really want to reach for it because I can use better. But it is a very useful palette and obviously if you can't shell out $80 for a busy art palette, this is a great way to go because it does have a wonderful array of shades. It's just not my favorite quality. Let's move on to number 12. This is the Charlotte Tilbury, the Sophisticate luxury palette. Now I bought this because I'm a completionist and I have so many Charlotte Tilbury quads and I needed this one. So this is a beautiful formula. I really do love the Charlotte Tilbury quads. This is a way better formula than the makeup by Mario palette. It's just that these colors are bluff. This wasn't an exciting palette for me. Like I said, I really purchased it kind of to have it to complete my collection to be able to share my thoughts with you guys on this quad and it's really nice. The colors blend great. It's just there were so many exciting palettes that came out this month that like the Mario palette was more exciting than this. This is just a little quad of some basic colors, but it is very good. So if you're in need of a good quad with these shades, I do recommend this. It's just it's just not very exciting. I did actually get a question though asking if this was as good as the Desert Haze. No. So this is still a very good palette, but something about that Desert Haze matte formula is like extra, extra, extra good. Let's move on to number 11. This was quite a pleasant surprise. I ended up loving this way more than I originally anticipated. And this is the rare beauty magnetic spirit. Now this is one of two from this collection. This one is the more purple one. And I know you guys thought I would like this one more because I'm a purple gal. I don't know. I like the other one better and you'll guys will see that later. But I'm very surprised at the quality of this. This was a $25 palette and it was really phenomenal quality. If you ask me this color story isn't as I don't know. It is cohesive, but it's not as cohesive to me and my eye and just the array of colors doesn't necessarily inspire me to create really unique looks. It's a gorgeous palette. This more so just coming from the color story that I surprisingly don't really love this color story here. So that is why this is ranking where it's working, but it's a really good quality palette and definitely worth the money. Let's move on to number 10. We have the makeup by Mario Master Medals. So he came out with three palettes. This is the other one in his original launch. And this is a really cool palette. Now you're supposed to use this with a mixing medium and you put the mixing medium in the tray, which you can pull out to clean. And I actually love the quality of these shadows dry. I think they're beautiful. They have a very, very, very micro fine sparkle to them. It's a really refined formula. It's absolutely beautiful. I don't know. I just haven't reached for it. I think with a mixing medium, it also really does amp these up to have a chrome texture and finish just absolutely stunning. I don't think this is the most unique set of colors. And I think the reason why this is ranking more so in the middle while the formula is absolutely beautiful, it's really only five shades and they're not exactly anything earth shattering. I don't know. It's a cool palette, but I just the other palettes have so many shades and this one you get five. And I don't know just that's just where it fell. Moving on to number nine. This is the palette that I am wearing right now. This is the Nars Extreme Effects eyeshadow palette. I don't think a lot of people were excited about this palette because let's be honest here is not exactly the most exciting color story. I think these are great fall tones for every day. Even though these are more wearable colors, I feel like they're definitely inspired by a full color story. So they are going to give you a little bit more of a deeper smoky kind of eye. Today I ended up going for the more warm shades and I like this palette. I don't love it. I definitely wanted to like it way more because I thought this palette had so much potential even though the color story may not have been exciting. When I swatched it, I thought that the quality seemed absolutely phenomenal. I was excited. I thought I had found a gem that I could tell you guys about because nobody was really talking about this palette. The quality of this is nice, but it is nothing exceptional. So I think the mattes in here are really what makes this palette stand out. But as far as the shimmer is, when I swatched them, they're so creamy. They have so much coverage, but I find that they almost don't stick to the lid. Like you really kind of have to press the color in a little bit and some shades work better with a brush. So you do kind of have to play around to see what's the best way to use certain formulas. Like I'm wearing this hot orange shade all over my lid today and I found that it actually applied better with a brush, but I still had to go in with my finger just to kind of work those shades in to make sure that there was minimal fall out and this black is a little bit kind of a mess, honestly. But the shades themselves are gorgeous and you can most certainly get very pretty looks. I'm very happy with this. If the quality on this was just a smidge better, this ranking would be completely different. But I still recommend it. I think it is a very beautiful palette. I really, really do. I think I like the color story more than most people and I'm surprised. Moving on to number eight, we have the next Pat McGrath Quad. She came out with three. So this one is a risque rose. And I think in my original review, this is the one that I actually recommended to you guys most. But the longer that I've had it, it's not as original as I thought it was at first because you have like a shimmery pink, a chocolate brown and a hot pink. And I think you just have those shades already in the Pat McGrath line. So that's why it's ranked a little bit lower. It's just a doable palette. What makes this guy stand out, of course, is this shade lavender ring. It's definitely the saving grace of this quad because lavender ring. Honestly, you guys, it definitely does make this quad worth it. I love the lavender shade so much. So it's just not my favorite quad of all of them. The colors aren't as unique as I was hoping. There would be, of course, except lavender ring, but it's a really great quality quad. And if you're interested in the colors, I definitely do recommend it moving on to number seven. I dabbled my toes into Nabla cosmetics in the month of October. So the very first palette that I got to try was the dreamy palette. I did a whole video trying out a full face of their products. And of course, the palette that I had to go for it was the pinky purple palette. So many of you guys who know Nabla well, cringed when I actually used the shade delirium all over my eyelid because you guys said it literally is the only shadow that Nabla has that is bad. And I can now agree now that I've played around a little bit more with a few more of the formulas for some reason. This is just like the dud of the brand. Every other shade has been quite amazing. So every other shade in here is very, very creamy, pigmented. And I've really fallen in love with the Nabla formula. I can't wait to play with more of their palettes. I've lately just been dipping into the same palettes, but I do have a few more that I need to try. But I love the tones of this, very wearable colors, but still playing, you know, more with the pinks and the purples. It's an Italian formula. I keep talking about that, but I think it's a great way to get an Italian formula, not quite at a luxury price. And their color stories are beautiful. Their packaging is beautiful. Their branding is great. So definitely an indie brand that I want to bring to your guys' attention because I do have some really cool different stuff. Moving on to number six, we have the final makeup by Mario palette that came out in the month of October. And this is the Master Metallics. Now you guys did ask me if I was picking up his quads. I'm not. I have all of these other palettes from him that I'm quite content with. So I really don't feel the need to pick up the quads. But I really, really, really like this Master Metallics. I think most people weren't as in love with his palette as I was. This was my favorite palette that he came out with. I think these shimmers are beautiful. They are an Italian formula and they act as such. Like this is the Italian finish that you get when makeup brands source from Italy. I think these shimmers are quite exceptional. They're pigmented. They have very micro fine shimmers to them. They apply beautifully to the lid. And literally you just take one of these shades. You apply them all over the lid, put a little bit of bronzer in the crease and you have the most beautiful eye look. I don't know. I feel like these shadows are very special and I love it. I love the colors that he has in here. I highly recommend the Master Metallics. But I don't know. Everybody else is like, ah, this palette is something special. I swear this palette is something special. I really like it. I'm very impressed by it. Moving on to number five. This is another one that shocked me. But man, do I like it. This is the Charlotte Tilbury Dazzling Diamonds Luxury Palette of Pops. At first I was not going to pick this up. I basically boycotted the Charlotte Tilbury Palette of Pops because I found them to be hot messes. Every time I would wear these, the glitter would just end up all over my face. There was no pigmentation to the colors. All the colors literally look the same and it was a $53 quad. Uh-uh honey. I picked this up after seeing it in store and she really has improved her palette of pops formulas. These shades are more pigmented so they actually have a purpose for being in the quad. It's not four shades that are the same. I still do recommend using a glitter glue, but they're not as fally out as they were before. The only real sheer shade in here is going to be this light shade. So this one I would definitely recommend using with a glitter glue. But I just love these as an accent piece to say. An all matte palette like the Makeup by Mario or like the Sophisticate. And I just think these really give that Charlotte Tilbury glaze all over to the look. And I've been really loving finishing my looks off with this quad. I've actually used this quite a few number of times. For me, you know, I'm always testing out makeup for you guys. So if I use a product five or six times in a month, that should tell you something. So I've really been enjoying this. Just sometimes I'll just take it and I'll just go boop, boop, gorgeous. I mean, that didn't really do much, but you know what I'm saying. Let's move on to Numero Quatro. We have the rare beauty confident energy palette. I actually put this in my October favorites because it is so good. I don't know. I love this color story. This one I feel more inspired by than the purple one. These colors are so vibrant on the eyelid. I find that very, very hard to do with a lot of brands. You know, if you put a blue like this all over the lid, it just never quite translates from how it looks in the pan. This is a formula that I feel like what you see in the pan is what you get on your eyeballs. And I feel like this color story is more cohesive. In my October favorites, I actually put this all over the lid and blended this guy out in the outer corner. It was a stunning look. In my original review, I did a gradient from gold to green to blue. Absolutely stunning. I just feel like I see so many different looks that I can create with this palette and the quality is amazing and it's $25 and I've talked about this enough on my channel, but it's abuloso. Okay, so let's move on to number three. Now, I will admit this guy I haven't gotten to use more than twice now, but I just know I love it and I know it's going to be a favorite for a while. And this is the ColourPop Stone Cold Fox palette and ColourPop came out with one of their giant palettes and it is a cool tone lovers' dreams. Hi, that's me, cool tone lover. I've kind of made a little bit of a mess already with this guy, but I really like the quality of the shadows. You know, it's not a groundbreaking formula, but for the price, ColourPop always does a banging job. You know, they definitely compete with high-end quality for sure. I just love all of these tones. I don't know. I think more so the color story is why this is ranking so high. It's just perfect. If you're for loss of cool tones in your collection, this guy will do it at a really great price. Let's move on to number two. We have the Final Pat McGrath Quad that came out. We have a lot of collections here. That's why there's so many palettes this month, but this guy ended up sneaking up last second being my favorite. This is the Interstellar Icon Quad, and I just think this is going to be such a fun grungy palette for the holidays for New Year's. I'm already thinking of what palettes I want to use for New Year's Christmas and Thanksgiving, and I definitely want to incorporate this palette into one of those holidays. I'm thinking Thanksgiving because of this blue blood shade. I really love this. This is a unique palette to me. I feel like I don't have palettes that have a color story quite like this, and it inspires me, and I feel excited to use it. It makes me step out of my comfort zone because I don't normally go for darker colors like this, but this Quad is just everything. And of course, this gorgeous duo chrome shade right here just makes the palette. I really, really like this one. This is the one that I recommend the most from this holiday collection, except for my number one favorite, which surprise surprise, it's the Pat McGrath Labs Mother Mega Celestial Divinity Palettes. I have been using this like crazy. Every opportunity that I have choice to wear what I want, given all that I have, I want to go for this because literally every single look that I've created with this palette, I love. I'm so inspired by this palette. I love the tones in here. I love the quality in here. I think it's a great value. It is from the Pat McGrath Holiday Collection as well. This is what I recommend the most, but then the Quad is number two. I love the colors and I know I've had 12 of the shades before in my collection, but the fact that it's all up in one palette with the additional six shades, I just can't put this palette down. And if I didn't have the collection that I had, this would be my everyday palette, even though it's not everyday colors whatsoever. I don't care. I really like it. I feel inspired by this palette and that is what is one of the most important things to me when it comes to these rankings is what's inspiring me. What do I want to grab for more? I need to put it away. I need to hide it. Somebody hide it from me. All right, you guys. So that is all I have for today's ranking videos. A little bit longer than normal, but I hope you guys still enjoy it. Again, I want to say a big thank you to Anna Luisa for working with me on this video. So make sure you guys go check out their Black Friday sale. They have some cute stuff. All right. Anyways, if you guys aren't subscribed to my channel already, I would absolutely love it if you would consider taking the time to do so. And I will see you guys in the next one. I guess have a good one. Bye.
