Depotting Shadows/Quads/Blushes/Blushcremes etc.

[Oonie]

45 e/s later I am done!!!

(2) 15-pan palettes, and (4) 4-pan palettes. Only one near casualty and that was Intoxicate, near the end. I was thinking about an ex-boyfriend who for some reason called me today. But anyway I left the e/s over the candle toooo long.

ops:

The tutorial here on Specktra is G-R-E-A-T.

Nice! Glad it went well, my first few times where not 100% as great as I wanted, but I also didn't have the tutorial here to help me.

Palettes are so much fun. <3

I depotted about six pots the other day (thanks to the instructions on this site!) and it worked out beautifully. I'm so happy to not have to deal with pots anymore! Now I can trade 6 of them in for a NEW LIPSTICK OR GLOSS! Woo-hoo! Can't wait.

Only lipstick not gloss...sorry to say.

i was talking talking to britta that just started at mac downtown
she gave me an idea for those of who want to depot but don't have a pallete.you can take an old cd case and put them in the circular part the cd would sit in.she said they hold up to about 12 shadows

i thought that was a great idea

 

[Demosthenes]

What a cute idea.

We would have to tape them down in that case, right?

Usually the glue at the bottom will hold it to the CD case. If you want to be safe you can use little squares of double sided tape to hold em down.

What a great idea. I have been wanting to try depotting, but I don't have anything to put the e/s into. Thanks for the tip!

 

[mac_obsession]

Thats a really cute idea. Gotta love creative people

i think the adhesive on it will make it stick

New here and question about depoting!

HI! I'm new around here and have been lurking for awhile. I was just wondering if anyone could lead me to depotting instructions. Also, where do you guys purchase your palettes from? What's a good price for the 15 pan palette?

TIA!

 

[msthrope]

you can get the palettes at free standing or pro mac stores or through the 1-800 #.

THANKS so much! Can you tell me the 1800 # and the price of the palettes?

 

[Hikaru-chan]

They are about $12

 

[schnebbles]

You can find the 800 number on the MAC website

OMG! So relieved... I depotted 5 blushes last night without a mishap! I HATE depotting the MAC blushes since there is so much glue in them... Ugh!!
