Depotting Colorbar Single Eyeshadow


Many months ago, I was depotting my MAC eyeshadows, and didn't stop there. I picked up the only Colorbar eyeshadow I have, and decided to evict it as well. Single eyeshadows disturb me- mentally. 
It had a mirror attached to it, which made the process seem next to impossible, but I was to curious to find out the outcome.

Eyeshadow shade ~ Proudly Purple (swatch & review here)

This is what it looked like before. The mirror is attached to the bottom of the eyeshadow


How to:

  • 1st ~ Take out/break the lid
  • 2nd ~ Break the middle section where the eyeshadow & mirror are on either side
  • 3rd ~ Take out the mirror with a sharp knife. It could break, but mine didn't! Thank goodness, coz breaking mirrors is not good, right?
  • 4th ~ Burn the part where the mirror was with a candle to loosen the glue that holds the eyeshadow on the other side (just you would MAC eyeshadows). I used a tong to hold the pan and held it on top of a burning candle.
  • 5th ~ Poke eyeshadow pan out from the burnt part to loosen the eyeshadow pan & also loosen the sides with the sharp knife. Do this gently to prevent eyeshadow from breaking. 
And you're done!

This is how the eyeshadow looks after....


Ya, it's a weakling this pan, not tough like the MAC ones. The eyeshadow also broke a little bit.

There you have it! A misshapen depotted Colorbar eyeshadow. I feel sorry for it haha.... BUT. It's no longer single! ;)

Have a great week everybody!

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3

Thank you for reading! :)
