So I have decided to do the skinny wallet summer challenge! *crowd goes wild*
I am challenging myself to post creative things to do over the summer that can be done with a very skinny wallet or very tight budget. Hopefully it can give you some ideas to make your summer fun and your wallets fat! this first post will be a DIY!
Are you sick of having too many eyeshadow quads? Sick of that huge bulky eyeshadow palette?
 |
| do you want to turn this... |
 |
| into THIS! |
-all these things i already had except the new palette case and mod podge ($8 at Michaels)
 |
| flat headed sharp tool |
 |
| super glue |
 |
| small container with attached lid i got this "lint a hand" from francesca's for $4.95 |
...and all the eye shadow palettes, quads, trios, duos, etc... you want to make more convenient for use!
step one: depot old eyeshadows
 |
| Use your tool to gently pry the shadows from the palette. -if you squish down the case, it is easier to wedge underneath of the pan |
step two: prep new palette caseI created a new cover to my palette using scrapbooking paper and mod podge!You can see my eyeshadows laid out in order that I took them out of the old palette so I can remember the names of each of the eyeshadows. I thought about labeling them on the inside lid of the new case, but i decided not to in the end.
step three: fill new palette with shadows
I was able to fit the whole UD Book of Shadows and two Revlon
trios in this box and it fit perfectly snug!
*I used super glue because I know I won't use up these eyeshadows for years. If you want to make it a more versatile palette, you could line the bottom of the new case with magnetic tape. That way you could swap out eyeshadows whenever you feel like it!
Have a blast creating your own eyeshadow palette!

YAY!!! I love what you did. To be honest I had no idea what you meant when you tried to explain this to me, but now it totally makes sense!
