I prefer them in the pots because it makes it look like I have more.
Eyeshadows...Do you prefer to keep them single or put them in pallets?

I've read all of the depotting threads and right through this one, and I still *so* can't decide. I'm up to 22 eyeshadows, with 4 of those are pro refills and are in a small pro quad palette.
I tend to think if I went for depotting, I'd want to go a lot of quad palettes because of the clear lid rather than the 15 palette. A quad is also much more convenient for carrying around when travelling.
I do love my little pots though, they're so cute all lined up together...

Palettes, hands down. I like to keep things simple and streamlined. I *hate* having clutter and having to dig for something.

I keep all my shadows in the pot. I have a whole draw full of MAC shadows. I think it keeps them fresh & clean.
Although, I did press my pigments & put them in a 15 pan pallate. I find pressed piggies are easier to work with.

I like the pots. I've always found palettes messy.
I have a huge tool chest to store my makeup and put like colors in their own drawers, so it's easy to find my colors. I also use Bare Escentuals, so I can put all the green BE pots with the green MAC pots, and so on. That helps keep me from inadvertently buying dupe colors in either brand.

I prefer pots. I don't like it when shadow dust from one color touches another.
(I also don't like when different foods touch each other on my plate! Weird- I know!)

I depot everything. Shadows, duos, blushes.
It's just easier for me because everything is organized and right there in front of me. Even when they were organized as singles, it was still difficult because I have to keep everything in order all the time and things can get misplaced.
De-potting a shadow only takes me around 30 seconds and I haven't anything damaged so it's just the best option for me.
Oh yeah, the counters I go to have no issues with accepting de-potted B2M so getting the free stuff is awesome.

I prefer keeping my shadows depotted, but only in the quads.
I have about 6 quads, and I know it'd save me even more space if I got a 15-pan but I just really like the convenience of having the see through top.
Also, they're much easier to store and bring out. If I brought out a 15 pan to do my make up, I think I'd get some crazy stares.

Palettes for sure.
They take up too much space otherwise!
Sometimes I do wish that I could have them seperate if im just going away for a weekend, and since my collection has grown and i've forgotten to put labels inside the palettes, sometimes I forget the names of the ones ive depoted!

Hi Georgi, I peel the label off the bottom of the pot & stick it to the bottom of the pan so that I can keep track of which is which.
& I definately agree that pallets are best - I love co-ordinating different e/s combinations in my pallets!

I have some OCD tendencies, especially when it comes to my makeup! I absolutely hate clutter. As soon as I get a new shadow I depot it and put it in its proper palette. I organize mine by color spectrum so that it is easier for me to come up with different color combos. I put the lighter ones or hilight colors in the top row, mediums in the middle and deeper ones on the bottom row.
Having my e/s in palettes not only helps with organization and declutters but is awesome for travel. It also doesn't hurt to get FREE products with the empties. My local freestanding store has no problem taking back the empty pots. Plus, at the freestanding stores you are not confined to trading for a lippie, you can also get an e/s.
