I was going through my rapidly overcrowded drawer with my makeup (I'm like playing tetris everytime I put things away) and I noticed that half of my palettes were limited edition.
I have 12 palettes (17 if you count the duos, trios and quad). And I realized that the 8 of the 17 are limited edition palettes. 2 of them have limited edition shades and 5 of them have permanent shades in limited edition sizing (mini sizes, oh I love mini sizes) and 1 I'm not sure about I bought it second hand but I can't find it on the website so I think it's limited edition.
What about you are you a major collector of limited edition palettes?

How Many of Your Makeup Palettes are Limited Edition?
16 posts, 8 members
so many palettes are so similar. I was a bit horrified by the recent BR article about the 'top ten palettes' and most of them looked the same. I know there will have been mattes and shimmers and things in there but I was like...... would NOT buy any of those.
LE is only worth it if you will use it IMO... and palettes are only worthwhile if it works out cheaper that way than buying the shadows you would use.
The Metal Matte palette I actually LOVE but probably, in hindsight, given how often i use it, didn't NEED. The UD one I use constantly and I use enough of the shades that the price works out a bargain, esp as I only paid $19.50 USD for it, (and it's about $70 here)

I agree I often look at a palette and check how many of the shadows or face products I'm actually drawn too. I do happen to have 8 eyeshadow palettes and 1 all in one palette with eyeshadows and complexion products. The other 8 palettes are complexion products.
I don't have very many fullsizes of blush, bronzer and highlighter most of what I have is mini sizes or in a palette. But honestly I'd rather have it in smaller sizes and have more variety. I recently had to talk myself out of major bronzer purchase and caculated that I have over 10g of bronzer that was cool toned enough to use a contour powder split amongst my palettes and deluxe singles.

That was a very good lucky steal Trudi. Definitely value for money since it gets used everyday. I saw that one and wasn't drawn to the shades since I prefer different shades of brown to purple matte shadows with some gold. Sometimes I do a drop liner with my colorful EOH pencils.
I'm more into a bright lip than a bright eye look, probably because I don't think my eyes are my best feature. But if I did have your eyes I would be dressing them up in color, shimmer and metalic sheen.

I dont think many of my palettes are LE. I do have two Hourglass ones - a Nordstrom exclusive edition one and another was a Christmas Holiday palette that was LE, but then they released all the blushes as permanent and available individually.
Theres an ABH Glow Kit palette that I havent seen for sale since so I guess its LE, but it'll take me forever to get through all four highlights! And I have a Tarte Energy Noir palette with eyeshadows, blush and highlight, but that was a gift and I keep it for the rare occasion I want a purple eyeshadow look.
(And I'd rather have handbags....)

I think I've only got 1 limited edition one: the Lorac Mint edition palette. I'm not really that into limited edition eyeshadow, since I can't really try it out in store and there usually aren't heaps of reviews on it when they first come out. I'm the type that likes to guarantee I'll like something before I buy it, especially a big buy like an eyeshadow palette.
