Few things break a makeup lover's heart like a destroyed palette. An eye shadow single might make us pout. But a PALETTE?
That's a lip tremble followed by real tears. This list is a graveyard of palettes and it *will* shatter your heart into a million pieces.
Warning: You're gonna need a bigger tissue box.
When your Jeffree Star Androgyny palette is *perfect,* but the mailman doesn't want you to live your best life.
"I was so excited to get this today and when I opened it, Swallow was broken," this Twitter user wrote.
"Child for sale," this parent jokingly shared on Instagram after her kid gave her Anastasia Subculture palette a makeover.
Hopefully she catches another one on sale at Sephora during the holidays.
Another Jeffree Star palette — Beauty Killer palette — lived up to its name in the saddest way.
Luckily, Jeffree Star Cosmetics has a fair return policy when these tragedies take place.
But the Kylie Cosmetics return policy isn't so merciful. You better hope your order doesn't ship to your house like this.
If so? Babygirl doesn't do *any* returns or exchanges.
Anastasia Glow Kit bites the dust!
But you can probably still get your glow on. Re-press this baby and clean 'er up!

Sigh. That pan doesn't even look like it can be saved.

Per her caption, this makeup lover *was* able to get a refund.
This Kat Von D Shade + Light palette became a chew toy for the owner's dog.
Tragic!
But another day, another palette turned into a Scooby snack.
Nooooooooo!
"I came home from school on Friday to find that [my dog] escaped from his crate and went straight for the bathroom," Reddit user, Matte-matician, wrote online.
"This is the first time he's ever forced his way out and also the first time I decided to leave my palette out on the counter!"
R.I.P. Alchemist palette.
Sigh. Kat Von D had higher hopes for you.
This Vice palette is going to need some serious depotting work.
I'd say throw the whole palette away but… my heart!
A makeup artist and Reddit user got this concealer palette in the mail the DAY before she was supposed to use it for a wedding gig.
WTF.
This Hourglass Blush palette is barely recognizable.
So we're clear: These things are $62 a pop.
