Depotting Lipsticks: Z Palette

Recently I bought a Z Palette abroad and had it shipped here in the Philippines because it is more expensive in the Philippines  (and we also bought some other items abroad so they'd just be in one package). I also bought tiny magnetic pans for it. Z Palettes are magnetic cases with a clear cover. They are used to store make-up products. I chose to use Z palette for depotting my lipsticks instead of the Japonesque empty lipstick palette (which can store a bigger volume of the lipstick) because I didn't want to empty out the lipstick. In my Z palette, I can choose how much of the lipsticks I will depot. The magnetic pans, used to store makeup or in this case lipstick, have many sizes you can choose from.


You can search facebook or instagram shops that sell Z Palettes. Pure Beauty stores carry them too (they have branches in serendra, trinoma, alabang).


What you will need:




magnetic pans

spatula

tissue

lipsticks

pen & paper (or stickers)
 Steps:

1. First step is to take note of the name of the lipstick. List down the brand and the color in paper or better yet, write it on a sticker label and place it on the back of the pan.


2. Scoop out a small amount of the lipstick using your spatula. If you do not own one, you can use a butter knife or anything of similar use.


3. Push the product onto the pan and spread. 



 4. Clean your spatula. And repeat all the steps.

Alternative:

You can also melt your lipsticks onto the pan but I didn't see the sense of making it pretty because it will look messy if you use it anyway. You can also opt to buy a similar-looking palette from Props Tools and Cosmetics. I think I saw one in their stall during a bazaar. Happy depotting!
