I had 8 NYX Jumbo eyeshadow pencils in which I primarily use to line my waterline using an eyeliner brush. The pencils are a little too large to line my eyes precisely, and I tend to make a mess sometimes while rubbing the brush on the pencil to get product on it. So I figured they would better serve their purpose in a pot. I depotted (or depenciled) them rather using the microwave method and 5 gram jars. Now I have my own little “paint pots”…

I used part of the barcode from the pencils to create labels for the jars. This was quick and easy to do… and not only did I make my products easier to use, I created some much needed space in my train case while doing so!

such a smart idea.. i have some too and totally agree with how painful it can be especially when ur in a hurry
… hopefully when i do this… it would turn out okay .. lol *fingerscrossed*
It is much easier to use this way 🙂
The only 1 I own is milk. I depotted it a while ago using a blow dryer. Works much better that way.
They really do work much better this way indeed
