I excitedly, ordered the new (Sun-Dipped) Glow Kit by ABH with my 20% off, being Platinum at Ulta. I also ordered her new Modern Renaissance palette. I was eagerly awaiting my new beautiful pieces. My husband texted me that an Ulta box had arrived for me. I still had 4 hours left of work! UGH. I just wanted to get home and play!
So, skipping 4 1/2 hours ahead, I arrive hope and upon up the box. DISASTER! There is powder everywhere and not a light color, dark brown. My ABH eye palette had the dark brown shade completely busted. I mean there was powder everywhere. The palette itself was just a mess. The outside too. The beautiful purple cover. So, I decided to clean it up the best I could. Ulta decided to replace my Glow Kit, which they should. The ABH palette could not be because it was out of stock, so they refunded me. I remembered the alcohol trick and decided to use it for these. See what I could salvage!

I think I did a pretty good job with what I had to work with! The alcohol trick really works!
What you need:
-Spray bottle
-Rubbing Alcohol
-Item to press the powder
-I used a fork to break up the rest of the pan
What to do:
-Crush up the rest of the pan to make it all a powder. I used a fork to do this because it was most sanitary, in my opinion. Make sure that it's a powder consistency. Once that is finished, you are ready for the next step.
-Put some alcohol into a spray bottle and spray the powder. Try not to get it in any of the other pans. I put some paper towels over everything but the pan I was working with. Also, try to do a small spray because it can spray powder everywhere. This was the hardest part. Once you spray it and it's wet but not too wet, it's time for the next step.
-I found some various things around my house that would fit inside the pan. I used a small stamp for the square in the eyeshadow palette and a dollar coin for the glow kit. I wrapped it in a paper towel, so you weren't putting un-sanitary items in your eyeshadow. Then you just press everywhere and the powder kind of just sticks together. Once you are satisfied with the "re-pressing", you are ready to let it dry!
-I let it dry over night and it works perfectly! No difference in quality and I was able to make something out of nothing!
