Have you removed individual eyeshadows from packaging?
I have often wished that I could remove individual eye shadows from the packaging so that I can store it in a palette to save space but when I try, I have damaged the shadow. Has anyone done this sucessfully and if so can you share how?

Yea, been there done that too. I goofed a few times and wound up putting products in pill boxes.. lol. Hey these work really well -- better than the individual pots imo. I have the hang of it now, but if they break I just get out the pill boxes

Re: Have you removed individual eyeshadows from packaging?
Well, I tried it with the hair dryer method. I'm still finding that I'm cracking my shadows more than I'd like to. Seems like some of the metal pots are just to close to the edge to get out without affecting the shadow.

Re: Have you removed individual eyeshadows from packaging?
I have found the using a flat iron has worked really well for me. I have only ever had one accident where I tried to pop a pan out too soon and the shadow started to crack a bit but I was able to press it down. I used to be sooooo scared of depotting but once you start and see how easy depotting is it is hard to stop!

Enkore also has a really great tutorial that doesn't use any heat. It's great if you're likely to burn yourself like me lol.

Re: Have you removed individual eyeshadows from packaging?
I was once scared to depot my e/s out of the pots and told myself that I would never depot my e/s until I purchased my first eyehsadow palette and used the flat iron (my mom has the CHI flat iron and it gets hot really fast!) so I had fun doing it and I will love to do it again when I purchase another palette.
