Depotting Shadows/Quads/Blushes/Blushcremes etc.

[Turbokittykat]

no, never. I collect quads so it's important to me to keep them as they are. It does tend to mean I use them less though.

 

[LadyLaundale]

Not me, I collect the Quads as well. So, depotting them kind of defeats the purpose of that. But, I do find I use them less. I wish I used them more since White Wheat is one of my favourite colors.

So true! You couldn't have said it better! So far I've depanned one quad, inventive eyes and I plan to depan a few more so I can put them into regular rotation and use those colors more.

Yep but imo its better to just keep it and use it again! Better value

Does anyone have a depanning tutorial link?

 

[asnbrb]

i depan mine. i was getting frustrated and not using my palettes as much (and i love smut!!), so i just depanned them last night.

krista, there's a depanning thread somewhere that i found yesterday. do a search for it and it should pop up.

eta: depan, depot. is it still depotting when there's no pot?

 

[xxmissjennyxx]

nope! theyre meant to be together!

 

[Nycutie182]

I keep them together. I love they way they look like that lol

 

[ladybugz07]

It never fails that there's always 1 color in a quad that I just don't care for... So, I always depot them. Plus, I really like keeping all my shadows color coordinated and together...

 

[Pimptress]

To depot or not to depot, that is the question

Pros and cons? I am considering doing it so I can make quad palettes of my favorite color combos, but I am afraid of taking them out of their cute little flip top cases; they'll be naked. Other than the simplicity of quads, I can't think of any other reason to do it. I don't want to put them in 15 pan palettes; that'd be too confusing for me and messy... and I don't really care about getting free lipsticks, cause I don't wear it much... so tell me... why does everyone love to depot so much?

 

[Chelly]

i just depotted all my es.. i am notorious for loosing things.. so now its alll in one .. well two palattes

 

[beebeegun]

Pimptress, I"m just like you tooo. I haven't depotted any of my mac e/s. I actually lke the little flip containers, so I left them the way they are. The only reason I will depot in the future is if I have so many e/s, then it's probably more convenient to have all of them in palettes, by colour or texture, etc! But for now, I"m happy with my little flippie thing!

 

[ladybugz07]

Personally, it's just more convenient for me to have my shadows paletted. I love opening all of my palettes to see the lovely colors. Haha, each one is a little rainbow of eyeshadow!!! Plus, I dig free lipstick... If it weren't for B2M, I probably wouldn't have any lipstick.

 

[amillion]

I like to group mine es colors according to different looks or a variety of looks. I would never remember what goes with what if it wasn't for those four quads. I am still a newbie when it comes to es so the easier it is for me the better.

 

[Alexandra]

I'm afraid to depot my eyeshadows. I'm not the most... graceful person, so I'm terrified of dropping it before I can get it into the palette.

I'm thinkin' I may have to get over that, though. It'd make my make-up case so much lighter and more organized. Searching through all of the little containers can be SUCH a pain sometimes, haha.

The biggest reasons I can think of for depotting is to make things more organized, and keeping certain colors together, like mentioned above.

 

[M]

I only depot for the empties. I actually like them in their little pots.

 

[jmdulock]

I have depotted yet either but I'm thinking about it just for the free l/s.

 

[angela]

i depotted recently and i'm sooo glad i did it! My traincase was getting real crowded and it seemed practical to convert 60 pots of e/s into 4 e/s palettes. Oh and free lipstick! Can't be that- so i say DEPOT 'em girl!!

 

[professionaltart]

i did it for space!
