Depotting Virginity *gone*

[Wattage]

In response to all this depotting business, I decided to take the plunge and try it for myself (I have been too scared up until this point).

Well let me tell you - I cannot believe how easy it is! I used the hair dryer method with a eye glasses screw driver and wow - they came out so easy! I am hooked. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner.

I depotted enough for 2 B2M's!

Yippee Skippy!!

You're a woman now...

Ha ha.

You'll be truly addicted after your first B2M!

it is so easy! i tried it out for the first time last week. got my magnets off ebay and used the straightening iron method. so so easy! i even took the labels from the pots and stuck them on the bottom of the pan over the magnets. just need 1 more and its b2m for me too!

I just recently started dopotting too, and it is WAY easier than I thought. I did 12 and got to l/s - X-pose and Gleam. I love them both. Now I just need to buy more e/s!

FYI, I got little magent squares at Michaels Craft Store. They are the prefect size and work great!

I have deppoted 20 e/s with the candle method. But I don't theinside plastic insert that holds the metal pan e/s anymore because it burns. I have always the outside pot. Is it possible to do B2M with this only?

This is probably a really dumb question, but why do you want to depot all of your makeup?

I have done my personal palette, that's why I depotted all my e/s!
It's really practice for travels!

Oh I guess I never thought of that. I am surprised it doesn't ruin the makeup when you do it.

I have recently depotted too with the hairdryer. I can't believe how easy it is. I always thought people were exagerating when they said it was easier but they weren't. I used a thumbtack with the little plastic thing at the end to pry it out. So easy.

I didn't depot all of mine, just my eye shadows and blushes (anything that can fit in a pro pallet).

I decided to depot because it's getting to the point where I like to group my e/s's and blushes. This way, I put all my neutrals in one pallet and the "exciting" colours in another. Furthermore, I am really into recycling. The ability to be able to choose to by a product with minimal packaging is of huge importance to recycling nuts like myself. I appreciate that MAC allows us the option as well.

But of special importance is the ability to get free lipstick! What could be better!

Great to hear! I will definitely have to stop by Michaels some time soon! I am very excited to B2M my stuff!

[Chelly]

im depotting shadows as i write this lol - doing the candle method good times all around

 

[poppy z]

I am very happy because my depotting pot are accepted for B2M (I haven't the theinside plastic insert that holds the metal pan e/s, because it burnt with the candle).
So tomorrow I will have 3 new lipsticks!!!! I will take X-Pose but for the rest, i am hesitating. I would like a red metallic effect which is easy to put on the lips (an amplified creme or frost). Could you help me? Please.... Thxx
