Are the Mac pans smaller than the ones from stars makeup haven?
I'm not sure how you got them to fit in the new palette...
I'm thinking of buying these as well, have you tried the blush palette?

Re: depotting question!
nope, the pans are the same size. i flipped the mac shadow upside down and pushed the stars makeup haven pan onto it, so essentially there is a double layer of pans. then i just popped it into the palette just fine.

i know they also sell magnets on the site, so i assume you could just use those as well.
and no, i have not tried the blush palette, but the shadow palettes are great quality and i just bought three more.

ooh I've a question.
In video's on youtube I saw that when the pot is apart from the container, there should be a small round opening, where you can loose the eyeshadow pan from the pot?
Well, in my eyeshadow, there isn't that opening.
I've bought this shadow from ebay.
I do believe it's real because it's so pigmented and she can prove that she bought it straight from a MAC store.
Also, it smells really plastic when I let it sit on the iron (already after 2 minutes).
So I don't know how I can depot my shadow?
Can someone please help me!

there will not be a hole in the bottom unless you melt the bottom with a flame. the heat loosens the glue if you use an iron. you should just be able to push the pan out thru the plastic from the bottom because it will be soft from the heat.

Yeah well i tried, but it didn't came off. And now I'm stuck with a bended eyeshadow pot which is outta it's original shape.
Maybe I can try to leave it a bit longer on the iron?

hm...i'm not sure because i have only used a candle. but it would make sense that if you leave it longer the plastic gets softer so you could push out the pan more easily. try and see?

Hey everyone, I've got a MAC Paint tube in rather battered condition... not aesthetically pleasing at all!
Is this something that could be depotted? Any reccomendations? Thanks

I think I've seen people just squeeze them out into a container, but the downside to that seems to be that it dries up a whole lot quicker.

Yes, you need a magnet. You can get them at craft stores.
Some people do glue their blushes and eyeshadows into the palettes, but it's not so practical since then you can't move them around, and it will be messy to replace the pan once you run out of the product.
