Depotting Blot Powder?
Is it possible to depot your blot powder and change it into the Catherine version of the blot powder case? Or can you just take out the plastic part that holds the pan in and change it that way? I want to be able to use that case over and over again.... the case is so pretty lol. For all you the girls and boys out there that are not medium toned, I hope this makes it easier for you.

That's a good idea if it works! It's so annoying that they have only catered to people who can use medium toned Blot Powder. Does everyone else not want a pretty case?

I already tried to take out the plastic part that holds the pan in and it really does come out. I just hope that both Catherine and the regular blot powders are the same size.

Good news everyone... you really can change the powder from one container to another. I just bought the Catherine version today and I put my powder I was I already using in it and I am saving the one that came with the CD version for when I use up all the one from the old container. So I have two mediums lol... using one now and the other for backup.

It is actually really easy. You just need two Blot Powders, one being the Catherine case and the other the color that you are using. I just used my driver's license to take the plastic part that holds the pan in. Take the license and start at the back or front (whichever is easier), slip the license in between the plastic and the actual case and slide it around to the side (9 o'clock or 3 o'clock depending on which way you are going). It should snap out from the case. Do the same with the other. Once you got both of them out of the case, you just switch them and snap them back in. It is very similiar to depotting e/s, except you don't need a candle.
I hope this was enough help. Let me know if you don't understand what I am saying.

Depotting LE shadows
I am having my first depotting experience (thanks to everyone who has ever posted tutorials about depotting - I read 'em all and they were so helpful). Now that I know how easy this process is; I want to depot everything! I have a few LE shadows (lucky green, leisuretime, slip pink, flirty number, taupeless) - is there any reason why I should keep them in their original pots? If anyone out there depots their LE shadows, do you depot them if they have special packaging (like the pretty bronze ones in which lucky green and leisuretime came)?

I would keep them in the original pots. What if you decide to sell it? It would be worth more in the pot, and plus you can have proof that it is what it is.

Okay - I depotted everything except for these:
lucky green
leisuretime
silly goose
taupeless
slip pink
flirty number
I might depot the last four soon, but what I did depot filled my palette and what is left to depot won't fill my other empty palette. I'm going to wait until I have fifteen and then depot everything but the belle azure packaging. At least that's the plan for now...

I'm gradually working my way through my collection, depotting everything. The only exceptions are the shadows in special edition pots, (i.e. Belle Azure and Tantress).
Initially I was cautious about depotting my LE shadows, but now I am more confident, I've decided to do them because a) palettes take up less space and b) it's much easier to find what I am looking for.

Am I the only one??
I can not bring myself to depot my e/s. I like them much better in the pots than in a palette.
I know they use up a bunch of space but I just can't do it.
I might change my mind once I have nowhere to store them LOL
