How to NEATLY De-pot MAC Eyeshadows, and still be able to BACK-to MAC it

This is a tutorial on how to remove the eyeshadow pans from the MAC containers to put into an eyeshadow palette. With this method, you don't warp the plastic the pan it comes out of so you can replace the metal pan with one from Coastal Scents or eBay and still be able to return the empty container for the back-to-MAC program. These are the tools you'll need:

- Hair flat iron
- Dull knife (can use scissors or metal nail file)
- Scissors
- Pin (can use thumb tack, paper clip or safety pin)
- Pen
- Craft Magnet with adhesive backing
- Piece of aluminum foil
- Old (but clean!) towel or papertowel
- Alcohol swabs or cotton balls and rubbing alcohol
- MAC eyeshadow in a container
- MAC Pro Palette

The palettes can be bought at MAC stores, they are not available at MAC counters, such as the ones in Macy's or the ones in Malls that are free-standing but still say Macy's. If you don't have a MAC store near you, you can buy them on eBay.
