How I depot my eyeshadows


Someone had asked me how I depot my Body Shop eyeshadows into the Elf quads; so now that I had an extra empty palette from my last Elf order, I thought of taking some pics to show you how it's done!

     List of products used: 4 eyeshadows, an empty palette and a crooked
     hair pin ;)

     First off, I removed the sticker from the back of the eyeshadows... 

     Notice the little holes that reveal part of the eyeshadow metal pan?

     Then I popped all eyeshadows in the oven at around 100°C for 10',
     so that the glue that holds the metal pan together with the plastic
     container gets loosed up...

     Then I just take the hair pin and poke the metal pan through the
     tiny hole, and...

     ...ta-da! Eyeshadow pan removed from the plastic pot!

     There was some left over glue at the back of the pans so they
     sticked nicely into the quad.

Dead-simple, right?

Apart from the Body Shop, these palettes hold eyeshadows by Mac, l'Oreal, Urban Decay, etc. Also, the plastic divider can be removed so that you can pop in eyeshadow pans of any size! Although I have to point out that the metal base is not magnetised but still, for 1,70E I'm more than contempt with my purchase! Made my eyeshadow stash A LOT more organised- so thank you Elf!

  5. OMG TBS eyeshadows are sooosooo easy to depot! I just depotted the eyeshadow in 08 and put in in my mac palette. they're a tad smaller but it's unnoticeable.

    mac eyeshadows are much harder to depot and you have to follow a specific, 4 minite procedure, this was a piece of cake! THANKS DOLL! :) xx

  7. Oh I'm so glad this helped you out huni!
    Hmm, so TBS pans are smaller than the Mac ones, noted that! I can imagine the #08 eyeshadow must really bring out your eye colour, sadly I can't make it work with my brown eyes :(
