Rock & Republic an Adventure in De-Potting

I have amassed a lovely little collection of R&R eyeshadows....


I love this picture, the way the sun is dancing off the mirrors...It makes me happy!
However it was a pain to store and choose the colors to use.I  knew if they were in a palette I would use the shadows so much more. 
So out came the handy soddering tool and voilĂ  a palette of loveliness...


Only one color did not fit into the Z-Palette...
I popped the bottom disc off by using a butter knife and then melted and "punched" through the plastic and pushed out the pan with the soddering tool. The cases all snapped back together so if I want I can return them to their original packaging. A major bonus was the pans did not need magnets!
I love my awesome "new" R&R palette and find it so much easier to reach for the eyeshadows when "doing" my face...
