But....I told him I wanted my lipstick now so I could look at all 4 of them together. But, I ended up buying 2 more because I couldn't choose between the 6 I had narrowed it down to.

It's really, really hard for me to depott my LE eyeshadows. So far I've left them in their special packaging!!

 

[Shavwi]

I depot everything - LE or not. I really like LE packaging, but nothing will get in the way of a free lipstick for me

There's another thread about depotting LE shadows here.

I whip those suckers out as soon as I buy them. I have no interest in hoarding make-up just to sell it later, and my kit is unweildy enough eithout having a squillion little gold pots falling about in my bag. I even depan the LE quads without a second thought.

Depotting MAC blush

Hi,

I saw a mac palette for blushs. So I was wondering if it is possible to depot mac blush like the mac e/s.
If someone could help me...
I have 6 blushs so it would be perfect for the palette

Thx you!!!

 

[lara]

Absolutely you can! It's just like depotting an eyeshadow.

I depot with a clothes iron and haven't had any disasters yet. There's a link to a tutorial in my signature.

 

[ledonatella]

I depotted all of mine, I do the candle method, I find it easier for me. I also find instead of popping out the blush from the front of the pot, it's easier to jimmy it from the side, pops out in no time. I don't know why but eyeshadows do better from the front, blushes from the side.

depotted Dessert Rose yesterday, i had my first semi-casualty

a little bit of chippage on the rim, no huge chuncks lost though

 

[scrapbookromance]

what about blushcremes? or would those melt and get funky?

It's a little bit different, you'd have to take more care... though I'm speaking not from first hand exerience, but from the advice of the wonderful members here. =D I just haven't had the time to make usre I get it right the first time.

Check out lara's site, as she has a page about depotting blushcremes. You can also check out a previous discussion here, which also has a link to lara's site as she replied to this thread.

HTH!

 

[poppy z]

OK, Thx Lara. I used your method and the clothes iron is perfect!
My palette is done! And I have a new lipstick from back to mac : Vegas Volt!!!!

Depotting blushes

I just wanted to make sure that they fit into the blush palette before I do it...

 

[YvetteJeannine]

Well....yeah. The MAC blushes fit into the MAC 6-pan blush palette..that's why they make it

 

[KJam]

They fit perfectly!

 

[SARAHluvsMAC]

Cool thanks.

I'd like to add that blushes are Alot harder to depot than eyeshadows. They break easily. I've had to repress a couple of mine due to depotting accidents.
