Depotting Shadows/Quads/Blushes/Blushcremes etc.

Re: To depot or not to depot?!?

I only have 1 LE quad (the Fafi 1) and I didn't depote it - I figured it can be nice for times I need to carry makeup with me. I did depote LE single eyeshaodws, even if they had "special" packaging, like the Neo Sci-Fi ones. I just know I hardly use my single eyeshadows beause the pallettes are so much more convenient..

I haven't done it yet because my collection is still so small, but I foresee it happening with mine in the near future. If you have the mad skillz for it I'd say definitely give it a go, just don't start with the LE first or anything! heheh
I'm kind of a fan of the hair straightener method, just putting the little tray on paper on the hair straightener, it seems to be the least traumatic way to go.

Depotting LE eyeshadows..

Would you depot your LE eyeshadows?
I'm hesitant to depot mine and I think twice about it.
I'd rather have them all in one pallet.. but then at the same time the packaging is LE and nice. Ugh!

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

I had the same dilemma and finally just said f**k it. I'd rather have them all in one piece than risk the damage.

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

I depot everything. All special packaging, all quads. I prefer everything being in 15 palettes. It's just so much easier. But, if they do come out with a Hello Kitty collection there is no way I will touch it. I guess it all depends how special the packaging is.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too.
I'm clumsy and easily drop things.. especially little things.

That's why I started depotting all of my eyeshadow pots.
Do you keep the LE eyeshadow pots? or do you B2M them too?

Yeahhhh.. I'm hesitant on depotting my neo sci-fi eyeshadows or not cuz I really like the orange packaging.
But then if I depot them.. I'm just gonna end up throwing them in the back of my makeup case, so maybe I should just B2M them. Ugh, idk!

yeah...i think i'm gonna B2M them cuz i have one of the bronzers, 3 lipglasses and a l/s from neo sci-fi so i'll still have something in orange packaging

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

I'm still working on depotting stuff, since I don't have access to 15-pan palettes or quads (unless it's through the Clearance Bin). I guess once I've depotted all my e/s that are in the black pots, I'll see if I need any special packaging ones to round out for B2M.

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

i depot them all.

i find e/s that stay in separate pots get forgotten about (in my case anyway).

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

even when I only had about 6 MAC eyeshadows, I hated rummaging to find what I wanted. So I depot almost everything. I don't depot quads or trios. But Neo Scifi and Starflash were immediately depotted.

This is true, at least for me. I still can't bring myself to depot things that are in the pretty LE packaging though.

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

if I totally adore the packaging (Heatherette trio) I won't depot, but if it's just meh, like Fafi, I will depot and back2mac!

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

I wouldn't depot an LE quad that was all nicely designed (e.g. Heatherette). But I depot all single shadows really regardless of the packaging. Mind you the only special LE packaging on single pots that I ever had were from Moonbathe and although that was pretty, I thought all the shadows in palettes together was prettier.

Not to mention I like using the pots for B2M!

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

i depot everything.. although i adored the lovely teal packaging of the Lure collection.. but i just dont have enough space for pots!

 

[kristakamikaze]

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

i depotted my Heatherette trio
and kept the cute case to have in my purse as a mirror

 

[purplerinne]

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

so I take it the McQueen collection is just blah so I can depot those right?!

 

[damsel]

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

if it's a LE pot e/s in special packaging i won't depot it [i.e. neo sci-fi], if it's LE in reg. packaging i depot.

i depotted my warm eyes holiday 07' palette [because i hated the e/s] and kept the compact because i adored it.

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..

I don't depot LE quads, but I do depot the single LE eyeshadows. Otherwise, I just won't use them. That's why I stopped buying non-MAC eyeshadows - whatever's not in the 15-pallettes is just ignored...
