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

[TDoll]

Palettes for sure! It would take me forever to do my makeup if I had to dig to find certain colors... Plus, you can see them all so much better in the palette! When I had them in the individual containers, there were so many colors I would forget about because I couldn't see them at the bottom of my bag or in the back of my drawer!

Luckily, I've still got a MAC store and counter that still accepts the depotted shadows for B2M. I'll cry when they finally turn me down!

Call me crazy, I would never depot-I would not risk wrecking my shadow. I've considered starting a palette and getting some pro pans, but I would rather spend the cash on the new collections. It'll be something to think about when there is a collection that I'm not as invested in...that will probably be never.

Until I get a massive collection I will keep them separate, eventually I will put them in pallets but once i have to depot I will be devastated

You can order a palette from MAC Pro over the phone if you don't have a pro card, which is what I just did the other day.

I depoted my non-LE shadows today and it was supremely easy. Also, when I bought my laptop there was a thin foam-like piece of material between the screen and the keyboard. I always save everything so I still have all the packing material in the box my laptop came in and I just cut that material to size and put it in my palette. I think that will give me some cushion if I ever do drop it (knock on wood).

I don't know if I described the material well, but it kinda looks like this:

I guess there is a *little* truth to when I say "you never know, I might need it later" when I'm being a packrat

i put my e/s in quads. i like it because it's small (easy to store in my traincase, less of a loss if i drop it) and i can see what's inside.

I depot my eyeshadows. It is so much easier to have them in their palettes. I don't depot LE ones like Moonbathe or Lurce. I have way too many to keep in their pots. When I first depotted my e/s, I messed about 10 of them. I was so pissed but by then end, I got the hang of it. I don't need them to look pretty but as long as I can use them.

I prefer the palettes, saves more room and more time (spent looking for them!)

 

[jin1022000]

I dont have good eyes, if I put them in a pallete, I wouldn't knoe which one is which ... XDDDDDDD... so yes, I WILL LEAVE THEM IN THEIR LIL POTS!!!

 

[pat]

I like both... Pallets take up less space and come in handy when traveling.. I have a good amount of singles, but I have not, and never will depot. hahaha.. my thinking is that I spent an extra $3/4, might as well keep you the way you are. Plus, I'm scared to depot, I might mess up the e/s.

 

[Mac_Wendy]

ive depotted all mine in the last few weeks,i used to love them in the containers, but my case was getting too full, and now i think it looks better in the palette, easier to put the colours into order and shades xxx i dont depot the l/e ones though

Most of my colors I depotted myself, and it's just easier to have most of my colors together.

Wouldn't you just love to have a larger palette than a 15?

I keep telling the MAs to suggest it to the higher-ups. Or am I the only one who could really use a few 25-30 palettes?

That would be the best!

 

[xtinemelanie]

I'm beginning to like them more in pots. I've busted a few e/s in the pallets and they got all over the other colors. Some of them I have no idea how they broke??

it's weird.. i think it all depends on how you organize your makeup collection. my pallets are on the bottom while pots are on top. i've noticed pots bounce when i drop them! plus for me, it'll just be one color vs. risking 4-15 in one pallet.

besides, i kinda like the way the pots looked all lined up inside my traincase. yeah, i'm a bit ocd like that lol!

 

[nai]

call me crazy but i hate palettes. i have 2 from the antiquitease and 2 from fafi and thats it. i always forget about them because they are in the palettes. i pay extra just to have single pots. i like to pick thru the singles and compare them to each other to see what would look best together. plus it's so much cuter in their pots! =p

 

[Fearnotsomuch]

Once I get a hold of a 15 pan palette, I'm depotting my remaining e/s. The are only 5 or 6 left that I need to depot because I generally buy them as pans. I don't depot anything in special packaging though!

 

[LMD84]

i like to keep them in the pots - however i have quite alot of space in my dresser for them so guess that's the main reason why i don't bother with pallets. When i go on holiday i have a quad pallet that i made with my 4 fave eyeshadows and then take mini jars of my pigments.

 

[aznbaby4ever94]

i like to put them in my palette (actually i already filled one up, and i gotta go out an buy another 15 pallete!!)

its easier for me esp. when you have to use different colors for different looks instead of fumbling around with little pots

(and i like to B2M the pots)

 

[ApropoMakeup]

i prefer palettes, i think this is much more comfortable than searching among the e/s in your makeup bag or case

 

[iluffyew769769]

I have half in palletts and half still single.

 

[HoneyLicious]

i prefer them in pots, in palettes the shadows dust will be on top on one another and will ruin the shade.
