Depotting Wet n Wild Shadows

Happy Saturday lovelies! I decided to share my first attempts at depotting eyeshadows with you all. I will show you what I created and give you some background on how I did it. The above photo is a wallet that I converted into a makeup palette. I bought it for $2 at Rue21. You can buy these wallets that snap closed pretty much anywhere. I went to Rue21 because I was able to buy them 2 for $10 and that one was on clearance. 

Here is the inside of the palette from up above. I depotted my Wet n Wild shadows using the method below.

Steps to depot: 

1. Heat your oven to approximately 215-220 degrees Fahrenheit. 

2. Put down aluminum foil onto a baking pan

3. Place your eyeshadow palettes OPEN on top of the aluminum foil

4. Bake in your oven for about 5 minutes (you may need more for the larger Wet n Wild palettes)

5. Remove from oven

6. Take a knife and try to pry the shadows out from the corner where the pan connects to the palette. *If it does not come loose, put back into oven for a few more minutes*

7. Be patient

8. Continue Process until all shadows are dislodged from their original palettes

9. Gut your wallet by ripping out the inside pockets.

10. Buy magnet strips or some type of magnet and super glue them to the bottom of the wallet.

11. Attach magnets with super glue to the back of each pan to ensure that they will not come loose.

12. Arrange how you want in your palette.

13. Enjoy and be happy!

Here's what some of the shadows look like once they were popped out of their original pans.

I do recommend grieving the loss of any shadows that were destroyed during the process. As you can tell, some of my shadows were damaged during the process. 

Here is the second palette that I created. I put the more damaged shadows into this one.  

 Let me know what you think about this post and if you have ever tried depotting before!
