Some came out easier than others though... I dont' think my "espresso' likes me very much anymore after I violated the hell out of it..

I used tweezers to hold the little plastic part w/ the pan in it... held my lighter under it for a few... then just pryed a tiny bit w/ a little jeweler's screwdriver so that I can finally take cuticle nippers and lift it up...

There's still a bunch of glue on the back... so I just left it on my bed until it cooled... and the glue wasn't so tacky - then popped them in. Oh, do they sell stickers or something to put on the lid so you can write the colors down? I saw this online somewhere, but I didn't know if there were special things.. or if they were just regular round label/stickers... and just use pencil to write em' in?

oh well... I'm off to MAC... hopefully they'll take them back w/ 2 pots not closing because I think I melted the tabs a bit too much... WHOOPS!

I'm not quite understanding why everyone is fidgiting around with these pots

Do they not have them in the Pro pallette form in the US

Yes, they do have the pots and pallettes but only regular Mac stores carry them. I go to Nordstrom because it is a lot closer than the Mac store in my area and that's why I end up depotting e/s

Thanks for the great tip on depoting eyeshadows!! I had an failed experiment with an Sonya Kashuck single-pan shadow: I had taken a heated mini-screw driver; trying to push the pan out. Nothing.... Then

I took one of the blades from my nail-scissors and was trying to push the pan out- Well,

I must have pushed too hard!! Made a hole a-l-l- the way through!! Next time, I will try melting the bottom of the thingie the pan is sitting in, and then take a mini-screwer driver and gently push the pan out. Sooner_Chick

 
My co-worker just picked up a palette for me. The eyeshadows that I have look larger than the ones in the palette. If I follow the method shown, will they fit in the palette that MAC sells, or will I have to buy another size? The one I have is called the Pro Colour Palette. It doesn't look like my shadows will fit.

 
oh wow, does this mean that if i depot them, they fill fit in the palettes? i really want them in a pallette now but i have 4 potted ones and i thought it would be odd if i started buying the non potted ones now, but i guess i can then if they fit! do they, do they??? lol

 
Some LE e/s are bigger than regular size but 99% of them are fine. CottonCandy, 50% of mine are depotted myself & 50% were bought in pan form. They look the exact same in the palette, there's no difference whatsoever except the pan form e/s has the name on the back and a magnet.

MAC's palettes are all the exact same size for e/s.
 
yay, i depotted all my shadows today using the candle method! i was so scared i'd drop them into the candle lol.
