How to De-Pot Drugstore Eyeshadows (without heat) & Make a Custom Palette!

Description

I was inspired by EmilyNoel83 and one of her recent videos about underrated products. It made me want to start using my drugstore eyeshadows again, but I needed a way to remind myself. So I decided to make a palette of my favorites to leave out with my other palettes in hopes that I would remember to use them every once in a while. And it worked! At least 2-3 times a week I have been reaching for that palette and getting some use out of them!

At least 2-3 times a week I have been reaching for that palette and getting some use out of them!

The de-potting process is actually pretty simple, but I just wanted to show you basically how it's done. Get creative- you can use anything as a palette! Below are links to the ones I mentioned but a quick google or youtube search about making your own palettes will give you lots of inexpensive and creative ideas!

For higher end eyeshadows, like I mention in the video, this may or may not work. It wont work for MAC, for example. And in looking at my other higher end eyeshadows, I don't think it would for those either. Only because the packaging is more hearty and the glue is a lot stronger. So do a youtube search on "how to depot _____ eyeshadows" and you'll probably find the best way to do it!

Mac Pro Palette: $14.00 available at http://www.maccosmetics.com *you'll need to take a little knife and run around the edges of the insert and pop that out for this purpose*
