Ever wondered what a Mineralize Blush would look like --depotted?

Here you go...

[h=4](M·A·C Mineralize Blush "Warmth of Coral" --DEPOTED)[/h]



NO PAN HERE, FOLKS!...and not at all what I expected to see whence viewing it belly-side up. That stain in the middle is the glue residue.
--and to answer the question that I saw somebody post on this forum recently:
No. Mineralize Blushes do not fit in the pro palettes. Although, if you are determined to get one in there, you could always just shave the top of the dome off and --Voila!

Kind of neat lol.

this is what I work with all the time.. lol. they look like flattened donuts without the hole or fillings.. the glue is usually wet silicone that dries up and sometimes cracks off thus causing the cake to crack too.

if you shave off the dome, you might get a lot of crumbling of product and loss of mass.

My thoughts exactly

Now that I'm able to see the whole naked blush (sans-pot) it appears to be twice the size (maybe even more?) of a regular MAC blush. That's a lot of blush!

It's a damn shame that the Mineralize products (blushes, eye shadows & skinfinishes alike... ugh, especially skinfinishes) are grossly inferior to just about every other product, in powder form, that's ever been on the market to date.

that's so cool! I never would have thought to depot a mineralize blush!

yeah, I automatically depot every blush / eyeshadow that I get from MAC so that they can be immediately put into their respective pro-palettes. I despise the entire mica-saturated baked Mineralize fad. I wish people would just forget the hype already and realize that it's worse quality than the cheap drugstore crap that was sold in the 80's. Then MAC would quit making so much of it and go back to formulating quality makeup again. I digress...

This one fell into my lap by random, and it wasn't the worst offender of the Mineralize lot so naturally I proceeded to depot it. Turned out that it didn't fit in the pro-palette due to it's massive dome-like figure, so I wound up shaving the upper-most part of the dome until I could close the lid of the palette over it. So, it can be done ...with a little determination.

I have depotted MES, if you all want to see what they look like, I can take some pics and post them.

Out of curiousity, why do you dislike the mineralize products so much?

If you used the MUFE tin palettes, you wouldn't have to shave the top done since these palettes are deeper.

Perty nifty ..where do you store these if they don't fit in the blush palette?

I'm still to nervous to even attempt a e/s depot :X I have so many potted e/s that don't get used. What method is the easiest?

Yes I am curious about this too. Do they fit in Z palettes/Mac Palettes or are the domes too high?

woops..that answers my question haha. The stila baked illuminating powders look like this as well.

The MES eyeshadows don't even fit in the Z Palettes. I have mine in the metal MUFE palettes. I am not sure if the blushes will fit in there but I know the MES eyeshadows do. Maybe the mineralize blushes will too? I'm not sure though because I haven't tried it...

 

[m0rg3nst3rn]

Here is what my MES look like in the MUFE metal palette:


This is more convenient for me then having them in the pots, it drives me crazy searching for them in the pots and this is better organized for me.

 

[Busttamuv3]

Oh it looks so beautiful, although the products themselves remind me of big vitamins ahhaha. Do you attach magnets on the back of them? Whats your labeling system =)

I do attach magnets to them and I also use the original labels from the pots and attach them to the magnet. I need to label the cover of the palette, but I wait until I can fill it to capacity (which is the same thing I do for me eyeshadow palettes) because I will move them around most likely until then.

That is really cool. You have skills, cause I know if I tried to depot any of those items, they would shatter as soon as I start the process.

 

[SmashCakes]

Woah, thats a really nice palette!

Hah. I definitely know what you mean, I tried depotting a MES, and it just shattered and crumbled everywhere
