Depotting MAC Eyeshadows

I recently purchased two limited edition MAC eyeshadows that I wanted to depot as I prefer my eyeshaodws in a palette. Depotting means taking the eyeshaodw and removing it from the plastic container so that is is just in pan form. You can buy eyeshadow in pan form from MAC but not typically when it is a limited edition eyeshadow. I was extremely nervous about depotting these as this was only my second time depotting MAC eyeshadows and also because they are limited edition I couldn't buy them again if they broke. Everything luckily worked out and I am going to explain in this post how I depotted them and what you will need.

Beauty Recycling Programs

I've decided to share with you what I know about skincare or makeup recycling programs at a few stores that I am aware of. I think that this is a great idea and wish that more stores would offer this. I certainly shop more at these stores because they offer this. Also important to be aware of is a lot of stores offer specials on Earth Day. For example, Sephora was running a special this year if you brought back any empty container (didn't have to be from Sephora) they gave you a free Origins moisturizer that was 1.7 oz. I believe Origins was running the same special in their stores as well. I really hope that more stores start offering these types of programs as most consumers appreciate it and it helps the environment.
