If you like this idea, certainly don't limit yourself to just eyeshadows.įINAL VERDICT: For under $5, I think this is a great jumping-off point when it comes to the world of depotting. One more thing: if you're new to the world of depotting, I should probably mention that you can also use palettes like this for blushes, highlighters, and basically any powders that come in metal pans. You don't get that firm, reassuring "click" when you close it it's a softer click that sort of tells me that I better be careful and not carelessly toss this into tote bag. I'm not sure how well this would travel though because, as I stated earlier in this review, the latch isn't super strong. Other than that, I find this case sturdy enough for day to day use, and that's great for me. So yeah.I had to use double-sided tape to ensure that these pans did not slide around. But whatever the case, one of the reasons why I purchased this particular case was because I didn't want to have to fuss with double-sided tape or cutting pieces of magnetic strips. Now, according to my boyfriend, that has more to do with the fact that the metal used in the WnW pans probably doesn't contain enough iron to make them stick to magnets. What I don't like is that the magnetic sheet on the bottom did not work with any of my WnW pans. I find that I'm prone to use palettes a bit more when I can see what's inside them before I even open them, and I can imagine that if I had several of these types of palettes, the transparent lids would really help cut down on search time. On the one hand, I love that it's pink (duh), and transparent. I think the effort is absolutely worth the reward, since I'm now happily "shopping my stash" and using shadows that would have just continued collecting dust had I not depotted them.Īs for how I like THIS specific ArtBin case, well I have some mixed emotions there. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I plan to depot a lot more of my older drugstore eyeshadows in the future, based on this experiment. I found myself really excited to use this palette every day, and I even came up with new combinations and ways of wearing these shadows that I had never thought about before. Having them all spread out like this (as opposed to tucked away in their original compacts) made me actually fall back in love with several of these eyeshadows, as if I were seeing them for the first time.


You really do end up using your eyeshadows a lot more when you depot. After using this palette for a couple of weeks, I can tell you that what they say is absolutely true.
