A year or so ago, after I had accrued over 100 individual eyeshadows, I decided to depot them and put them in one place- 15-pan palettes. I felt like this was saving room (as pots take way too much room), and of course, the lure of free lipsticks was very tempting! I successfully depotted most of them (except for my special packaging e/s), and continued to depot any new additions for the next few months.
10 palettes!!
But, what I soon learned was that when they were in 15-pan palettes, I never reached for them. Instead, I found myself picking up pre-made quads or holiday palettes. Since I have depotted them, I very very rarely reach for my 15-pan palettes, unless I am recreating a look or needing specific colors. It is just harder for me to see what is inside the palettes, and because they are so big/bulky, I refuse to haul them around.
Well, anyways, here is some MAC porn(everyone loves a little MAC porn once in a while!) for you, my ten 15-pan palettes! Can you name the shadows? :P

So, I stopped depotting recently. One, because I just love the look of individual eyeshadows; Two, because there are not many lipsticks I'm interested in (and I only have counters in my state, so I can't get e/s or anything). So far, I am loving my new generation of potted eyeshadows, and find myself reaching for them a bit more often than my palettes.
Here are my individual eyeshadows. I never depotted my special packaging shadows:
And of course, my more recent shadows that I haven't depotted...

So, what about you, do you depot?

I love MAC porn! Yeah I depot but now it's getting so I have so many that it's hard to find what I want. I was thinking of pairing them down to quads instead so I can see them? I heard Z palettes are pretty good (I think they have clear covers).
I did the same thing and found that I almost never reached for them in the black palette. I have been working on a palette that's clear http://theglamshack.blogspot.com/2010/04/eyeshadow-palettes-hold-50-54-eye.html. It's a really sweet palette it holds 50-54 MAC eye shadows. I am having a problem with the glue, after so many months it falls apart. I'm going to keep working on it until it's perfect
I'm really similar, I rarely use my depotted e/s, it's so annoying! I depooted all the LE ones too, it was hard at first but once I had done one there was no looking back!
I do depot my eyeshadows that are in the regular packaging since they are the ones that I toss in my B2M pile. I don't ever depot my special packaging eyeshadows either since I adore them. I'm going to order two MAC Palettes next month since I'm going be placing a huge MAC order.
I don't depot. I just buy the pan form cause it's cheaper. Plus I'm scared I'll ruin my eye shadows!
