How to depot mineralize products?

 

I really like to have all my products in palette form (I definitely have to check out Inglot as they sell so many products already in pan form). If something is not in pan form I tend not to use it because I forget about it.

MAC just recently released their new palette, that is deeper than the original one. Now their mineralize blush and eyeshadow fit in the palette. :-)

Mineralize products are produced by baking the powder on a clay plate. You can still put a magnet on that, just like you do with the metal pans.

I can fit 8 blush or 12 eyeshadow in one palette, which I find pretty amazing :-) It saves a lot of space and finally I'm using all my lovely products again.

The depotting process works exactly the same as the one I explained in my How to depot eyeshadow and blush post: How to depot eyeshadow/ blush.

Therefor I'm not going to bore you with a lot of pictures that show exactly the same process.

How to depot cream products?

 

I already told you in previous posts how I depot lipstick and powder products.

Here are those two posts:

How to depot Eyeshadows and Blush

 

But let's get started with depotting your cream products:

 

Here is everything that you need:
magnet tape, printable label sheets, blush/ creme colour base to depot, spatula, printer, rubbing alcohol, side cutter, syringe with needle, palette, cotton pads

When depotting a bigger product you should try to get underneath the top plastic part from the side. Normally this is more gentle than trying it from the front. It is important to get underneath the blush as far as you can and then lift it up gently. If you just lift from the side, the probability of breakage are much higher. You have to be way more gentle when depotting a blush compared to an eyeshadow.

There are two indents. I like to cut at the bigger one of them. Make two small cuts with your  side cutter. Then bend the plastic backwards (gently!!!). The cut should be wide enough that you can get your spatula in.

 

I like to use a syringe to get some of the rubbing alcohol underneath the pan as I find it the most gentle way. You could also use a Q-tips and dip the rubbing alcohol on the side. I find that it is easier to get rubbing alcohol everywhere that way. After applying the rubbing alcohol wait for some minutes so it can dissolve the glue. 

Gently slide your spatula underneath the pan and by sliding it around try to loosen the glue until the pan gets out really easily.



If there is some glue left on the pan just remove it with some rubbing alcohol and cotton pads. Go to my post about depotting eyeshadow and blush if you want to know how to put a magnet on the bottom of the pans.
