I'm going to de-pot!!
So I was at the mall today, not intending to go to MAC (had to go to the OTHER Mac store to get an ipod fixed)... but I decided to just stop in and look at the NE stuff in person in case there was something I absolutely needed (which there wasn't-- is it just me or does Inventive e/s look EXACTLY like Trax just with gold instead of copper glitter). Anyway I'm incapable of leaving that store empty-handed so I decided to finally get Bitter. But they only had it in pan form...
So I left with that and 3 15-pan palletes! I love the shadows in pot form and I swore I'd never de-pot them, but it was a sign. Bitter only in pan form and it's my 45th shadow... so I'll fill those three palletes exactly.
I'm still a little unsure about it (the pots look so damn cute), but honestly I was going to have to give in at some point if I'm going to keep buying shadows at this rate (and of course, I fully intend to keep buying shadows)-- I'll have SO much more room in my train case.
My first de-potting experiment went smoothly. I tried it with Girlie, my least favorite shade. I popped out the insert, laid it on a towel and blasted it with my hair-dryer on high for a minute or so. The pan came right out when I stuck my exacto-knife in there. I'm starting to feel better about this. But I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow to do the rest because I need to get a bunch of magnets.
Which brings me to the point of this post (other than asking everyone to send happy little non-eye-shadow-breaking good-luck-depotting vibes my way): Where's a good place to get those little stick-on round magnets that everyone seems to use? Would they have them at like a Michael's? What section? Are those type of magnets really thin?-- because I noticed the magnet on the back of my Bitter is like... REALLY thin... (and I don't want all my shadows to stick up at different hights.) And how much are they?
