De-potting

So after much "research" on how to depot the Mac eyeshadows so that #1..I could redeem the pots for a free lipstick and #2 so that I could have all my shades in one convenient palette! I decided to take some shots so that you could visualize how I did it...maybe you want to do the same.

Things you will need to de-pot your shadows:
1. Knife to pry off the plastic top of the shadow case
2. Candle to melt the plastic
3. Tweezers to hold the plastic plate top with the eyeshadow over the flame
4. Hair pin that I bent out straight

So pry off the top part/plate of the shadow (look to my first picture...be gentle so you dont crack your shadow).
Then hold it over the flame of the candle a little tilted until you see a little hole begin to form or just until the plastic is soft enought to poke a hole through (second picture).
Then poke through the bottom with the bent out hairpin and the shadow should pop out. Be careful..! Its freakin' hot...
Clean off the glue and you are good to go! You can now add it to your Pro-palette..

Thanks for your all your tips on brushes..I checked out the coastalscents site and unfortunately it is not worth it for me..shipping is double the cost of the product to Canada! I found this great limited edition set of smashbox brushes at Shoppers Drug Mart (last one!) and it comes with EVERYTHING I need and to top it off, a pretty satin pink case =). Now onto experimenting....AND as Anonymous noted in my last post...this months issue of FASHION is fabulous! It really is....the Spring collections are stunning..Im partial to animal prints so when I came across that section I died a little ;) ..not to mention MK on the cover..how many times must I mention that (2nd last pic)!...swoons* ..and im all tired out....me in the bottom picture...taken before my hardcore de-potting session wearing my DIY Camille tank and fave sweater....haha...that should have been after :P...it was actually fun..I swear...de-stressing ...
