Quick Q: Depot Eyeshadows. YAY or NAY?

It is time for Quick Question! I have been considering this for a long time, but I am never able to figure out by myself, so I need your help beauties!

I love MAC eyeshadows so much (who doesn't?) and I did not know that they also came in a pan at first. So, each eyeshadow comes either in a pot or in a pan that you can put it in your MAC palette. So, I owned so many MAC eyeshadows in a pot, but somehow I want to depot it into a palette, so that it looks more organized and professional. However, the disadvantages of putting eyeshadows in a palette is you have to label each of them, and it tends to break easily if you are traveling a lot or you put something heavy on top of it. However, one MAC palette can fit 15 eyeshadows and that saves a ton of space on your makeup drawer! In addition, it is also $3.50 cheaper than the pot eyeshadows (the pan is $11.50, the pot is $15). Twelve bucks for a MAC eyeshadow? Yes please. The MAC palette is $16 by the way.

Now move on to the pot eyeshadows. The pot eyeshadows are easier to carry around with you because you can just pick one or two colors to be put into your makeup bag, or to travel with you. It is a nice little size of pot eyeshadows that won't take too much space on your makeup bag. However, it does take a lot of space in your makeup drawer, especially if you have a lot of it. Also, it is more expensive too.

I am not gonna lie I always get so jealous when I saw someone has their all MAC eyeshadows in a palette. It looks so neat and organized, and as a perfectionist girl, I want that! Maybe you think "go ahead depot your eyeshadows Alexandra!" Well, it ain't easy to decide, Loves. I have been thinking either to depot for a few years and I have not done any of them. The reason why is I am afraid that I am going to regret depoting all the eyeshadows. Because once you take them out from the pot, you won't be able to put it back in a pot.

If you are curious on how to depot an eyeshadow, you can YouTube it. A lot of girls are using flat irons to do it. Also, I can get a free MAC lipstick for every five MAC containers including the eyeshadow's pot (Back to MAC program).

And one last thing about putting all your eyeshadows in a palette. Lets say you were creating a palette that was filled with neutral eyeshadow colors, what about if you purchased one neutral color but does not have space anymore in the palette? You might have to get a new palette, and start the neutral collection again. However, if you don't like to categorize eyeshadows in the same color range, then you can just put whatever eyeshadows' colors in the palette.

So, in a conclusion: Do you like to buy your eyeshadows in the individual pots or in the pans? Should I depot my eyeshadow pots to a pan or stay with what it is? (FYI, not only MAC does have eyeshadows in the pots or pans, but Make Up For Ever, Stila, Urban Decay and other brands also sell their versions too!)

I am really sorry this happens to be a long post, I just wanted to ask you a quick question, but I also wanted to mention the pros and the cons because I have been in this dilemma for a few years now! So please help a sister out :)

Quick Q: Do you repurchase foundation?

Hey beauties! First of all, I want to introduce you of the new category "Quick Question." We can call it "Quick Q" or "QQ" for short ;) The reason why I made this category is because I really want to interact with you all. So I am going to be posting questions (hopefully daily), and I will appreciate it so much if you can answer it in the comment below. That way you can help me or others who have the same problem by answering questions. You can also ask me questions in the comment below and I will answer it or whoever can reply to your questions too! Basically it is like an interaction and you can ask any type of questions you want! :)

So today's questions is: do you repurchase the same foundation once you run out of it? Or do you purchase a different foundation? If so, what foundation do you keep repurchasing? 

I probably owned 15 different kinds of foundation, and I love them so much. However, they are already old, probably like two to three years old, I know it's gross. I could not use them anymore because they would just make me break out due to the growth of bacteria. So I am currently in dilemma right now whether to repurchase one of those foundations or to try something new. I'd love to try a new foundation, but I don't know which one and I have fallen in love with my old ones so I know how good they are to my skin. I like a full coverage foundation, so if you have any recommendation, please leave in the comment below! And please help me out whether to try a new one or repurchase the one that I've had! Thank you so much!

So that's it for question of the day! Leave your answer below, or ask me any questions! You can contact me through Facebook and Twitter as well :)
