I've also read in another thread that one can use the Claire's boutique eyeshadows.
I like to use a clothes iron to de-pan, but it was easier with a flat iron for these. It was a little work to remove all of the plastic from the case. (I've already thrown them out, otherwise I'd show you.)
And the little plastic spatula came from a kit of an empty bottle and plastic containers I bought at ULTA.
Thanks for your interest!

I bought two 21-shadow-palettes from Claire’s for $10 as the pans are the perfect size for MAC’s 4 and 15 shadow palettes. (Claire’s had a buy 1 get 1 free sale yesterday and w/taxes, the cost of the pans came out to 25 cents each.) The pans came right out of the container w/out having to use heat or extra prying – About 3-weeks-ago I bought 5 wet ‘n wild eye shadows for $1.99 ea. and then had to do the heat thing to depot them. That was too expensive and way too much work! I bought Fix+ at a CCO and a flower press at a craft store. I’ve tried the alcohol and Fix+. The alcohol dries and sets faster than the Fix+. But I wanted to get another use out of my Fix+ and pressed azreal blue, melon and chocolate brown. Then I used the alcohol to press entremauve and kitschmas. I was amazed and pleased; they work, feel and look just like the loose ones!
Since I have a 3-day weekend (MLK Day January 15) coming up, I plan on pressing the other 35 pigments and putting them in my 4 and 15 pan palettes to get a lot more use out of them!! Organizing them in this fashion lets me see and use them more often as shadows and blushes.
Also, this procedure works for broken eye shadows, too. I had to re-press five of them.
Thanks, again mskitschmas….I love it!
