My Play It Proper arrived, and so did the pigments and glitters I bought over the phone from Pro Haven't had a chance to try them out yet, other than quickly swatching the pigments/glitters on the back of my hand.

I must try not to spend any more until Peacocky

Speaking of starflash shadows, I bought a Mac Trip Look in the Box set, when I was flying through Gatwick last week, because it came with Smoke and Diamonds and Grand Entrance eyeshadows! For some strange reason it says these are frost eyeshadows? It makes me wonder if Mac has actually changed the texture of these shadows or they just decided not to use the name "starflash" anymore. Since I haven't got the originals, I can't compare, and it's really bugging me. There seems to be absolutely nothing on Mac Trip 2011 collection online, besides the list of the products on Karrie's blog.
On a good note, I've got the set for just GBP 25,75, and that is for 5 products: 2 eyeshadows, a cremesheen glass, Belightful iridescent powder and a full-size zoomlash! I either was really lucky, and they've made a mistake with price, or this is a REALLY good deal for your money!

oh my word! i'm def going to be on the look out at duty free when i go on hols next month, that's insanely good value!

this could be part of the reason... you guys should have see the filthy look i got when i returned my empties last week, the girl looked at me like i'd pooped on her counter or something! if they don't like it, don't bloody offer it! *rage*

That's awful! I guess even Mac is not 100% stuck up SA proof :S

yeah that is stupid and annoying! i'd have asked her if there was a problem! luckily on the rare time when i have taken depots to a store the ma was completely fine and even commented on how clean everything was! lol!

 

[Eleentje]

Has anyone ever had any issues with depotted eyeshadows?
I am thinking of taking another chance with depotting (last time it didn't go very well :S), so I can get myself some stuff from the perm collection.

 

[Anitacska]

I haven't had any problems with B2M or depotted eyeshadows. The SAs at both my nearest counters are very nice.

 

[LMD84]

i've just been counting up my depots and i now have 10! 2 more and i can get 2 lippies. yay!

I still haven't attempted to depot my shadows - I'm scared of breaking them.

its easier than you think why dont you try doing one with a shadow that you dont like as much? honestly i have never damaged a shadow at all when depotting. the very first blush that i did i ended up chipping it - but that was only minor and because i wasn't patient enough and tried forcing it out!

 

[Anitacska]

Yeah, the key is definitely patience!

I use my hair straightener to heat the bottom of the pan up and it comes out easily. Sometimes I have to help it with a very thin knife dipped in alcohol. I have a few eyeshadows I need to depot, must find the time for it one evening.

I'm the same, I find depotting eyeshadows a breeze & have never damaged one. But the 1st time I tried depotting blush my peachykeen got a few chips, I just pressed it back down with my finger and now its fine. Thats my first and only depotting accident.

there must be something about depotting your first blush - you will always chip it! lol!

 

[Kirsty]

Yeah there must be. I returned one of the items I bought from MAC online & they refunded the original shipping cost, too. That was nice of them wasnt expecting that.

 

[Eleentje]

How long do you have to wait, until you start taking the pan out? I did my first depot using the non-heat method, and that is when I damaged the pan and chipped the eyeshadow. This discouraged me to do any more depots. I might give it another go, because you make it sound so easy!
