Usually the glue at the bottom will hold it to the CD case. If you want to be safe you can use little squares of double sided tape to hold em down.

What a great idea. I have been wanting to try depotting, but I don't have anything to put the e/s into. Thanks for the tip!

HI! I'm new around here and have been lurking for awhile. I was just wondering if anyone could lead me to depotting instructions. Also, where do you guys purchase your palettes from? What's a good price for the 15 pan palette?

TIA!

msthrope · 05-06-2005, 10:23 AM #56 (**permalink**)

you can get the palettes at free standing or pro mac stores or through the 1-800 #.

instructions are here:

THANKS so much! Can you tell me the 1800 # and the price of the palettes?

Hikaru-chan · 05-06-2005, 02:05 PM #58 (**permalink**)

They are about $12

schnebbles · 05-06-2005, 02:27 PM #59 (**permalink**)

You can find the 800 number on the MAC website

OMG! So relieved... I depotted 5 blushes last night without a mishap! I HATE depotting the MAC blushes since there is so much glue in them... Ugh!!

djd · 05-06-2005, 03:52 PM #61 (**permalink**)

Thanks so much! I've only been to the forum, I didn't know about the other parts of the site!

MxAxC-_ATTACK · 05-10-2005, 02:32 AM #63 (**permalink**)

i go by the ones that are used the most. so there all in one nice area so i don t go searching for them or need to get multiple palettes out.

Demosthenes · 05-10-2005, 02:51 AM #64 (**permalink**)

Color usually, except for when all of my palettes are full, then I did one for Veluxe Pearls and Pro colors. Right now I have some that are half empty and full of random colors. One day I'll rearrange it all.

iam · 05-10-2005, 06:11 AM #65 (**permalink**)

by stories, example of 1 of my palettes:

-salsabelle: casablanca, coral, rio de rosa, parrot and guacamole
-hipnotique: unordoxt, hipnotique, naked lunch, hepcat and deep truth
-aquadisiac: retrospeck, sweet lust, pink venus, aquadisiac and swimming

Anothers by looks, example:

-fade+tilt+stroke of midnight
-shimmermoss+plum dressing

Anothers by neutral colors for me:

expensive pink, woodwinked, amberlights......

Okay, so I've mastered the art of depotting and I've really come to enjoy it. However, I found one of my VERY old limited edition MAC 6-pallet holder (or whatever you call it) and I REALLY want to depot them so they can be with the rest of my eyeshadows but I have NO IDEA how to. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?? :?: I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I took different shots, with & without flash so you can see different angles. Sorry so messy!

i've actually already checked her site out. she does give out great information but nothing really pertaining to this speficic type of pallet. thank you though

It looks like you should be able to pry the inside of the container (the inside part of the palette) from the rest of the palette. Then you could use the heat method to get them out from there.

In the third picture you can see where the inside of the palette sits inside of the outer shell. Just pry that apart. Even if it's attached at the hinge you should be able to use the heating method.

OMG! I TOTALLY DID IT AND GOT THE PALLETS OUT. I USED YOUR ADVICE AND PRYED THE PALLET OUTSIDE OF THE SHELL AND THEN I HELD THE PALLET OVER A CANDLE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND PUSHED DOWN ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE PALLET TILL THE EYESHADOW JUST FELL OUT. IT WAS PRETTY EASY ACTUALLY! YAY! THANKS FOR ALL UR HELP. SORRY I DIDN'T EXPLAIN IT VERY WELL. THE ONLY BAD PART IS I BROKE MY EXACTO KNIFE WHILE PRYING IT OPEN, SUCKY. BUT I CAN ALWAYS BUY A NEW ONE.

I'M SO EXCITED!

Congrats

I always break my exactos...The trick is buying one with removable heads, and buying lots and lots of extra heads

Then you dont have to worry about it, but be careful of flying tips...they can hurt!!

saramwrap · 05-10-2005, 11:31 PM #72 (**permalink**)

I do them by color, too.

Here's how mine are organized.

eponine · 05-10-2005, 11:53 PM #73 (**permalink**)

i had mine by color, but i went through them last night and reorganized them by things i never wear, discontinued colors(so i know which palette not to drop on the damn bathroom floor!) and favorite colors.

All great ideas.

I may do it going forward.
