Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..
I think limited edition packaging is too nice to depot. I'm a bit of a mac geek though, I tend to 'collect' it rather than use it soley to wear! I am also having trouble depotting my regular eyeshadows just because they all looks so bubbely and lovely in there little pots. I guess it depends on how much fuss you can take. It's easier to get to the colour in palletts but I think the products look better in pots! xx

Does anyone else have a problem depotting Carbon?
I've tried depotting two carbons now, and both have first chipped and then broke. I haven't had a problem depotting any other of my eyeshadows. Has anyone else had this problem with carbon? Has it to do with the texture of it somehow, or have I just had a lot of bad luck? I can't get it in a pro pan either, because we don't have pro stores in Sweden

I am with Shimmer...I have problems depotting mattes. Many of mine have chipped or cracked, if not at first then weeks or months down the road.

Re: Does anyone else have a problem depotting Carbon?
I didn't have any trouble with my Carbon.
In fact, it was a perfect depot. I use the flat-iron method personally, and it usually works well with all my shadows.
If I lose any, it's my own fault (like dropping it on my tile floor cause I got burned, booo!).
I just got a few more mattes, and I plan to depot them as soon as I get another 15-pan. I hope I don't have any trouble with them.

Re: Does anyone else have a problem depotting Carbon?
I haven't had any problems at all depotting any other mattes, I depotted brule and espresso and some pro mattes that a friend got for me in the us... I use the heat method though, I will probably use enkore's method the next time I try with carbon, don't want to risk breaking another one! Or i'll see if I can get anyone to cp a pro pan for me. Thanks for all the replies!

Re: Does anyone else have a problem depotting Carbon?
I took apart a Gentle Fume quad and all colors were fine except Carbon, which shattered. =( I don't remember which way I used, but I'm sure it had something to do with a candle.

Re: Does anyone else have a problem depotting Carbon?
I did all my shadows (over a hundred) by using the candle method. A hand towel always prevents any of my shadows from breaking if one of them falls. I've done carbon and lots of matte shadows... never had a chip. Yeah, this totally means that next time I depot I'm going to have trouble.

Re: Does anyone else have a problem depotting Carbon?
My carbon chipped when I pryed it out of the plastic, and then broke when I layed it down gently on the table
is the eyeshadow extra vurnerable when it's hot?
I probably just had bad luck with it, because I depotted 24 others at the same time as the first one broke and all of them came out perfectly (including mattes as brulé, espresso, canary yellow, lime, vibrant grape and indian ink), and the second time I tried it I was a bit stressed... Will get a new one today and try again, if it fails I will try to get ahold of a pro pan

Re: Does anyone else have a problem depotting Carbon?
my carbon was fine using the iron method (like, clothes iron).
i've had a matte chip pretty badly on me though - meet the fleet. they do seem to be a bit more fragile.

Re: Depotting LE eyeshadows..
I like to depot, but i do feel a twinge of guilt when they come in LE colored pots and cute packaging!

Same. The trick is to leave it on the flat iron a really long time....the plastic just slides right off. I depot while surfing online...so I don't get impatient waiting for it to melt.
