I'm so sick and tired of depotting! That's why next time I'm just going to order the refill pans over the phone. What's great is that it's a flat rate of $7 (and something cents) shipping and 7% tax (as oppose to 14%). If I spend over $110, I end up saving money

As for the lippie, I'll just buy it from the money I saved. It's not worth the effort going through the icky smell of burnt plastic

($$ is low! lol) But I do like the free lippies, and it does make carrying it around much easier! (Usually because I'm too lazy to do my eyes in the morning & usually do it on lunch! lol) Here are my palettes... please don't laugh TOO hard at the cd case... LMAO! (They hold pretty good w/ the leftover glue!) And the hack job on Brill & Meadowland was where I gouged (sp?) my tweezers into them before I found a way to depot them flawlessly! (Go figure!) I now use a lighter, & an X-Acto hobby knife - heat up the pan plastic... push the knife right through the center on the bottom and pan lifts right out. Totally unharmed, and the plastic only gets a little slash in it - instead of a huge one from a reg. screwdriver.

Janelle!!! That 15 pan palette is gorgeous! I love all those shades. Would you by chance be able to tell me that those shades are?
 
ok, this is probably a stupid question, but i can't remember the answer.

do mac freestanding stores carry the 15 pan palettes and the little pans?

or is it just at pro stores?

I was worried about what they would think too, but they didn't even care! LOL I just put my 6 in a old MAC bag from a past haul & they took it and just told me to pick out my lipstick! Some of my lids wouldn't even close! LOL

I was at the store today & I remembered that I needed the little round labels for my palette - unfortunatly, they didn't have just plain white, they had the neon pack! LOL so I have yellow, green and orange dots! LOL I'll take a pic for ya! LOL

No laughing at my dots! Luckily they are removable. lol Although dumb me puts on the dots BEFORE writing down the names... so I'm sitting there w/ my wrist twisted around trying to write somewhat legible. LOL

they don't care about that lol i have brought in melted stuff it's not a big deal lolglad you got them done.

 
ooh! i need those circle tags to put on the bottom of the palette or something! i just don't want the ones that stay stuck to things. that would not be good since i buy shadows adn would have to rearrange the palettes all the time. lol

too bad they don't count the pot and the pan thing that holds the eyeshadow pan seperately
frown.gif
that way it would only be 3 pots and 3 pans = 1 free lippie! i'd have all the lippies if they did that! lol.

 
Way to go Liz! I am glad that you were able to depot so many of them. Told you that it would be a breeze. Did your bf end up helping you?

Love the palette Janelle. I may have to go and get some of those round stickies.

Yeah.. that would be nice!!! LoL!

And the labels I got aren't the kind that rip or get REALLY stuck... you can lift them off fairly easy - but they stay in place nicely.

lol. no he didn't help me with anymore. he's the one that messed up my first shadow. he doesn't like listening to directions. i did all of the other ones today while he was asleep though. i sat outside for 3 hours and it was kind of windy/cold. the burning plastic smell is not pleasant, so i didn't want to wake him up with that.
