How to depot lipsticks without melting them!

Well, hello again!

I decided to depot my beautiful lipsticks from multiple brands, since I need more consolidation in my makeup kit. It was a sad night to say the least, while chopping all of those beautiful buds off and digging the remainder out;( I did them this way without melting them, because some were shimmery and a lot of times when you melt them the shimmer settles on the bottom, and I find this way of "whipping" them gives a good apply able consistency!

Here's how I did it, and what you will need.

Of course your lipsticks you will be depotting.
I got the case, I will be putting the lipsticks in from Hobby Lobby for $7.99 on sale.
ear buds, pen or marker, spatula (to cut and scoop), something to cut them on, and alcohol (I used 91 proof).

 

First you want to sanitize everything you are using. I can not stress to you enough, sanitizing is key! Not to mention it's really gross if you don't.

 

here's where the metal spatula comes in handy. wind the tube all the way up, and cut the end off.

                                     Then scoop the remainder out. ***however I am only doing the whole tube, because the containers I got are a bit to big and will fit the entire tube, maybe two****

                              Press the lipstick around, until it is pressed out with no clumps. I personally like mine a bit whipped!

 

Make sure you add labels to the bottoms, so you know what brand and color you have.

here are a few more colors I did.

 

My "pinkish" tower number 1!

                                Then I did  a tower of "nudish" colors.

 

And viola, then you will have easier access and more space :)
