DIY: Save Storage Space / How to Depot for Beginners

Spontaneously I depoted some of my cosmetics. And if you are someone like me who hasn't done it before (well.. technically I am not one of them anymore) then go on reading.

As a beginner I have been thinking of doing this for a while. I wanted to depot some lip products and a creme blush. I just wasn't in the mood to do something about it until now. 

To start off you need
  • your product you want to depot
  • new container for your product
  • some wooden toothpicks
  • a microwave
  • paper to clean off with

Conditioning Lip Balm


With the lip product I have are the ELF Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in Natural and in Peaceful Pink. They have been taking a lot of my storage space.

What I did was I took the product out and into the new container with two wooden toothpicks. After that I put it in the microwave for about 1 min and 10 sec. Since I hadn't done it before I check all the time my product smelting (because I didn't want it to explode in front of my face xD ).  After that I took it out, let it cool for a bit and then clean the edges with the paper. I did the same thing with the other.

New container with product and the old container with no product.

Blush


With the creme blush in Flirt also from the same brand I took the product out the same way as before. Then I pressed the product into the new container with some paper.

See how much space you save! :O

The result


That's it!

Hope you found it useful.
