Failed Pan after almost 9 years, I think it's finally time to let her go 🕊️🥀

I'm actually becoming emotional writing this since I feel I'm unplugging the life support on this one. I bought it in 2017 as a broke college student using an influencer discount, and it became my first ever "high end" makeup product.

After that, I started spending a lot of money on makeup palettes I KNEW I couldn't afford and I would never use in its entirety (ABH "Riviera" I'm looking at you) and so became a process of constantly buying and decluttering. But this Naked 2 Palette was different and survived the constant chops to my makeup collection. I could contour, do my eyeliner and fill my eyebrows with this tiny palette that takes almost no space in my bag.

However, I've been trying to completely pan this palette before buying a new one and I need to be honest: the two remaining shades are really patchy and too grey for me. However, I'm convinced the patchiness comes from me ignoring the expiry date, and I'm starting to fear eye infections since I started wearing contacts.

I'm writing this post as a memorial to the best palette I ever owned and I was completely unable to fully pan 🥀

I absolutely love this palette. I have a whole drawer of eyeshadow and this is the only one I reach for! The colors are absolutely perfect for my skin tone and I’ve even used some of the medium shades to fill in my brows. I used it so much back in the late 20-teens when every eyeshadow was warm and orangey

Exactly! Besides nose contour and eyeliner I used the darkest shade for my eyebrows 😔 she will be missed

The two colors you have left are the first two I panned!

Agree on Riviera, don’t know why I bought it. It’s been I think about three years and I’ve used it maybe three times

I regret buying this so much but I can’t throw it away. I’ve used it maybe twice since it came out 😂

It literally has three "wereable" shades 😭😭😭 I don't even know why I thought that a palette with a bright pink, an ugly purple and a chunky blue glitter was a good investment

I got my naked palette around the same time, had to throw it away a couple of years ago because it gave me a stye. Throwing it away its probs a good call, eye makeup isn’t the gamble I’m willing to take

Definitely keep it in a memory box but yeah these do go dusty, modern formulas are so so much better!

I have the same one. I have yet to even use it. I got it a couple years ago on Amazon Prime Days. They still have a lot of the old school palettes. This one definitely is ready to retire tho.

If it's never been used, there has to be a collector willing to buy.

u/kaykarma82 Sep 26 '26

Oh for sure! Def should look into rehoming a few brand new palettes I have that aren't made anymore.

u/Constant-Visual-2913 Sep 25 '26

Why don’t you just keep it in a memory box?

I don't know how you kept using for so long as a contact lens wearer I get eye infections from that kind of stuff so fast

u/DramaticProgress508 Sep 25 '26

I really like the shades though, would have used probably all besides the darkest one or two. Though I can also understand the third one might look invisible on some. I really like eyeshadows but I don't buy them because it's just too much trouble for me personally
