Eyeshadows...Do you prefer to keep them single or put them in pallets?

[meehpink143]

I'm a vote for the pots!! If I ever want to fill a palette form, I'll buy the e/s's in pan form because it's cheaper!!

I love the pallets, all the loose ones make me mad. I need to go pick up a 3rd 15-pan since I just hit up a CCO for about 9 shadows, heh. I think I might get some extras, and rearrange mine by color because I am now annoyed by bright pink being next to a brown next to a green, where the rest of the greens are in a different pallet

For now on I hope to buy the majority of e/s in the pans so I can just put them in the 15 palette's which would save me room in the long run, I just can't decide if I should try depotting my singles. Part of me actual likes the e/s in the single pots, I think they look cute in them..... Anyway, on to the post question, do you prefer your MAC eyeshadows in the single pots or palettes?

i like them in the pots, but they take up so much space. ive got two palettes now full with ones ive depotted and im gonna depot the rest, the only thing is im scared of ruining them when depotting but so far so good

Palettes, because I have way too many to sift through every morning when I'm getting dressed. Plus, like someone else mentioned earlier, when I can group by color, it shows me exactly what I own and reduces the chance that I'll buy colors too similar to what I already have.

I have over a hundred shadows so putting them in the pallet is just easier for me and less expensive! Also I like to coordinate my pallets by color/texture


However, LE items have their own drawer in my house, I do not depot those.

Does anyone else wish they would come up with a larger palette? 15 spaces isn't enough and all my warm colours overflow into 2 palettes because of this.

Then of course, I have my cool colour palettes, my bright colour palette...

 

[hello_kitty]

I wouldn't mind a bigger pallet actually

I have all my es in quads by colour ie: 4 blues, 4 pinks etc. and I've only bought colours that already come in the pan form as they are cheaper. I doubt I'm going to be buying any new es in the near future as 48 colours is more than enough for me right now and I'm trying to build my collection of other MAC products like blushes and lipsticks at the moment. But I'm sure down the road I'm going to go back to buying es and then I'll probably put them in the bigger pallets. I don't think I would ever keep them in the pots bc it would take up way to much space.

In case this might inspire someone to depot...

I had to find my shadows a new home once we moved b/c the room where I keep my m/u doesn't have a good wall to put up the cabinet I used to store everything in (it had mirrors for doors, I loved it!). Soooo ... I depotted whatever I hadn't yet, put them in palettes and double-sided-taped them to the keyboard tray of a little desk I bought as my vanity. Scary thing is, this isn't all of them b/c I can't fit any more palettes, so the rest are sitting in quad palettes.

Storing them this was is sooo much easier and faster in the mornings to get an overview of what I want. And fun to look at too!

I have 3 full palettes and have 3 shadows in my 4th palette. lol I love to organize them by colors, its so convenient.

 

[lovelyweapon]

I only keep shadows single if they're LE. I LOVE palettes - I feel it keeps things more organized. Whenever I am off to work I put the two or three pans I'll be using into the smaller palette. So convenient...

 

[GlamYOURUs]

O and they need to make a 30 slot palette like seriously. lol

 

[lovelyweapon]

^^ LOL seriously I was thinking the same thing!

 

[FacesbyNiki]

I would love it if LE shadows came in pallet form.

 

[bluebird08]

A few years ago I had the store depot a few for me but since I rarely get to that store I keep them in the pots...

 

[Winnie]

I love my palette! At uni, I don't have the extra storage space so it's more convenient and cheaper to have them in my palette. I find it so much easier to see what colours I have and I like that you can easily see by eye, colours that might go well together. I like using my quad palette for travel as it's better than taking the whole palette with me so I select the ones I want to use and pop them in my palette!

 

[RoCk_StAr_GiRl]

I currently only have 2 four slot pallets but am considering getting a 15 one. I don't know though. I like the idea of all the B2M i will get if I keep them seperate and I also feel it is easier to get more colour on the brush from the potted ones (because I ca hold them in my hand if you get me). I do think the pallets are really well organised though. I'd never thought about keeping my pans in a 15 and taking them out and into a smaller pallet when I go out..I may just have to try that!

 

[.:jinx:.]

i always kept my shadows in pots until a couple of weeks ago. i decided to try depotting them . depotting is easy and i love my palette! its so organized and i have so much more space

That would make me SO happy!

 

[jay0hwhy]

i love my palette, but today i b2med and got "post haste" and while i was depotting it it like, rose up, and when i tried to put it back into the pan it like, cracked!

now i'm not sure about this depotting business--- but i probably will still do it just for the cases.

but yeah, palettes rock! yay for saving space!
