Hey everyone i have a quick question before i head out shopping today! I depotted some eyeshadows last night (first time ever!) and now i'm going to pick up some palettes at MAC. Stupid me, i tried popping the eyeshadows in a palette i have to see how it will look & i realized they have no magnets on the bottom! Yah i know LOL i feel like an idiot but where do you guys get the magnets? I guess at a dollar store or something? Please let me know!!! Thanks!!!!

I don't like cutting from a magnet-sheet, so I bought round ones online - http://www.stainedglassoriginals.com...cessories.html

I got the 1" ones. The 1/2" ones are okay, too.

HTH

You can also try eBay - I got two large sheets from a UK seller but I'm sure there are sellers in other countries too.

Micahel's, the craft section at Wal-mart, any place where they have crafty type of stuff. They really aren't hard to find

I bought mine from Michaels ... ran around the entire store looking for them and finally found them on the way bottom shelf in a corner.

But the ones I bought were kind of thick, so the pans don't sit quite flush with the edges of the palette. So if you buy magnets, try to go for the thinner ones so your pans don't pop up too much.

I just get the magnets that junk mailers leave in my mailbox, put them to soak in hot soapy water for 10 minutes and peel off the plastic and paper coating. An unending supply of free magnets, and they're nice and thin too.
