I still had a half full Z.Palette which I bought at IMATS, an empty Unii Palette which I received in the Cork meet up goodie bag and the lovely Paula gave me a mini Z.Palette yesterday so a little depotting was in order.
I began with the Sustainable palette. I nearly didn't depot this palette. It was the first Urban Decay product I owned. My dad bought it for me in the duty free when I was moving home from the UK. It was a "I know you don't want to move back, I'm sorry your mother and I guilted you into doing so" present.
It was so easy to depot this palette. The shadows where surrounded by cardboard so no heat was needed. Just something with a sharp edge and a gentle wedge.
The second palette I depotted was the Midnight Emergency kit. I have to admit I have owned this palette for six months and have only swatched it. Hopefully now that the shadows are out of the packaging I will use them more.
This anniversary palette was a complete bitch to depot. I managed to get the first out the same way I did the other two, with some gentle movements. I had to use heat for the rest. I rested the shadows onto my hair straighteners to melt the glue and that made it easier to pop them out.
I want to do a review on the Z.Palette at some stage. Now that it is full I can do a proper review on it after a while. I also have my MUA shadows in this palette.
Two shadows where harmed in the making of this blog post.

Would you think about depotting your Urban Decay palettes?
Love,

Lol two shadow were harmed! It's an awful pity there's not a back to urban decay scheme. At least you can use the anniversary palette as a jewelry box now :)
ReplyDeleteI remember when I depotted my Alice in Wonderland UD palette! I nearly broke one of the shadows!
ReplyDeleteI find when you have them all in the one place you use them more often!!
Great post :)
Well done Sarah, I will fully admit I gave a little aw when I saw the carcasses of the palettes ;P I keep meaning to depot my MAC shadows, need to get the finger out, am all inspired now :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do it even though it makes sense to do so!
ReplyDeleteYou can fix the damaged shades with a bit of rubbing alcohol - there're youtube vids on it. I'm on a depotting kick. Sucks cause I love their packaging - but it's just too cumbersome.... want to try to salvage the midnight emergency for a wallet. Wish me luck!
