  • $5 off $20 purchase
  • 2 free eyeshadow singles with $25 purchase

I bought:

  • Mile High – $12.50

Free gifts:

  • Party of Five – Free
  • High Five – Free
  • Lippie Stix – Free(Sorry, we are late)

My total: $36.5 – $5 discount = $31.5 + tax + free shipping

It took almost 2 weeks to receive this order. ColourPop knew and felt sorry about it so they give me a free lipstick. A bright color I usually don’t buy but like to have it for free!

My de-potting tools

I use 3 de-potting tools:

  • Disney Minnie Mouse Mug Warmer, you can find it on Amazon, highly recommend!
  • Knife, just to make sure the edge of the tip is very thin
  • A piece of paper

depotting tools.JPG

How I do it:

  1. After mug warmer is hot enough, add a piece of paper on top of the mug warmer to prevent plastic meltdown to the mug warmer
  2. then place the powder product on top of the paper
  3. wait a minute or two
  4. take the product off the mug warmer, use the knife to test to see if the metal pan is loose enough
  5. if it’s hard to take the pan out, put it back to warmer, wait a bit longer
  6. then try to remove the metal pan from the container gently
  7. you can use rubbing alcohol or makeup remover to remove the glue residue. But often time I use my nails or the knife to scrape it off.
  8. if the pan is aluminum, then thin magnet tape is needed.

Take a look youtuber MissJessicaHarlow’s video. We are de-potting in a similar way but she is using a flat iron!
