The "J Palette"

The "J Palette"

A cheaper, slightly different alternative to the well-known "Z Palette"

      Ever have just too many eye shadows thrown all over in your makeup bag only taking up entirely too much space? Yeah, I know how you feel! Well this blog post is going to help you reduce space in your make-up kit and put a huge smile on your face.. cheesy, sorry. 

^^ Example Palette ^^

^^ The palettes that I emptied to make my 1 J Palette!! ^^

Supplies Needed For Palette:

Eye Shadow

Pure Acetone

Magnet (One that your parents won't freak out about if you ruin)

Hot glue gun

Any sharp object (I am not responsible for any lost body parts or  cuts)

Q-Tips
OLD EMPTY CD CASE (I forgot to take a picture on one... my apologies)

PS. I used magazine cut outs and tape to decorate my palette. This is an optional step.

Steps to create palette:

             Before beginning, plug in your hot glue gun so that it will be hot and ready for you to use in a little while. 

1. First, you want to make sure you remove everything from the CD case: all the papers and even the plastic piece where the CD itself goes.... (It should pop right off)
2. Next, You want to take your magnet and hot glue gun the back of it... leaving the magnetic side free from any glue.. then place the it on the inside left of the CD case. (Obviously, the magnetic side will be facing up.
3. Now, you can start depotting your eye shadows. This is a very simple step, but it does require a small amount of patience. Take your "sharp object" and VERY CAREFULLY go under the metal part of the shadow and gently pop it out of it's plastic container
4. Once you have depotted all of your eye shadows, it is now time to remove the extra glue. Dip a q-tip into the acetone and gently take all of the glue off the back of the eye shadow.
5. After all the glue is removed, you can now place the eye shadow on the magnet inside of the CD case.
