Make Your Own Palette

I recently re-arranged my makeup drawer and noticed I have so many singles flying around, but I have no ready empty palette to depot them into. What I do have is a lot of CD and DVD cases hahahaha I'm serious, I'm a movie addict and my BF is a game freak so imagine how many dvd cases we both own from my movies & his Playstation games.

So after depotting the eyeshadows, I took one unused DVD case, snipped the two paper/instruction holders inside (to make more room for eyeshadows to stick in), glued some magnets, metal sheets, and stick in the eyeshadows. It's cost effective!!!!

Here are the pictures, it's still funny looking because I haven't filled in everything, haven't named nor decorated it =P

First row (big pans) are mostly Jordana eye shadow singles.
The yellow one is my pressed pigment EG Minerals Artic Thaw
and the middle one is Stila Kitten.
Some of my NYXs sit comfortably too =)

I'm believe I'm doing good thing to the environment hehehe

Press My Pigments

Abbreviation
EG: Earthen Glow Minerals

TMM: Taylor Made Minerals

TSS: The She Space

MAC: .........I have no idea.......... LOL

I need a masseuse !!!!!

I spent the whole day pressing my pigments, it's definitely harder and more time consuming than I thought it would be...*rub neck & back*.

Everything started with the arrival of my 15 empty palette I bought from Wuzzyangel who is having a sale, she's a doll & kindly included some freebies too ^_^ THANKS hon!!!

So I prepared stuffs I needed like pigments, alcohol, paper towel, a quarter, fabric (I cut an old thin jeans), q-tip, mixing jar, spatula, liquid binder (I used Biosilk because I don't own EZ Press) and flat iron.

I recently received these MAC pigment in swap, so I did 2 different ways of pressing,

• Alcohol & Flat Iron for MAC Pigments
  
• Biosilk + Alcohol for mineral pigments (flat iron is optional)

It's super messy, I'm telling you....plus I'm a clutz so my hands seriously looked like a 3 year old's playing watercolor UNATTENDED. These two pics were only some mess I captured, I had to wash my hands like gazillion times today...thank God for moisturizer!!!

Here is the picture of this palette with decoration...
I used most of my Dragon Paisley stickers =)

I'm still drying them at the moment, so if anyone would want a swatch, just let me know ^_^

GOSH MY THUMB HURTS!!!!

Haul: Sticko Stickers

Found these on Ebay when I was looking for stickers to decorate my 96 Eyeshadow Palette, I have another palette coming (empty, plan to press my pigments). They're Sticko Vellum stickers, flat and fun!! This is the seller I bought from, she has one of the best deal out there.
