This happened to me with Cliniques eyeshadow in Desert Sun, and I’ve been helplessly looking for that shade ever since…I think it’s discounted in Europe, because I can’t find it anywhere…sigh, I know how you feel.
I think it looks prettier when it’s broken! I remember reading on bellasugar.com how to solve a problem like this — just take a quarter (or a nickel, to press the eyeshadow back into the pan), a tissue and some rubbing alcohol. In fact, I think you might have posted the link to it on here a while ago…but if not, just search it on bellasugar.com :).
Hi Karen love your blog keep up the good work. I know exactly how you feel. My mom and I were leaving for a trip to Vegas recently and on the day we were leaving she accidently dropped my Barbie all doll’d up palette. I literally went numb. Thank God only one of the eyeshadows shattered, I was speechless 🙂
The same thing happened to me yesterday with my pan of Mac Satellite Dreams. I droped it in the bathroom though, not in the kitchen.. My condolences.. i share your pain.
I opened a bag that I keep my third-string make up in and lo and behold I open a black urban decay shadow that I have not touched in years and it explodes all over my makeup drawer…grrr. eff the shadow, but the mess!

That’s my worst nightmare.. I only put my makeup in my room where there is carpet..( i also put a towel over the area where I put my makeup on so it doesnt get everywhere) I feel your pain sister!!
My husband dropped Petticoat MSF on the floor. It was before we got married. I cried and he bought me a new one – so I married him even still <3

Pictures like this make me teary.
Aww, what a tragedy! I dropped a pan of pressed powder foundation once and… yeah. It’s like looking at a car wreck 🙁
Hi Jen,
Oh no! That would’ve made me super cranky!
Ahhhhhhhhh NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Oh no!!! *moment of silence* Have you tried repressing/reforming it yet??

Hi Maggie,
Seriously! That’s what I get for walking around with a pan of shadow in my hand before I’ve had any coffee…
Crunch up real good and make it into a pigment! I bet it’d be awesome!

Hi Katie,
Yeah… my heart broke a little when it happened. I was happy that it didn’t end up all over the kitchen floor. Now that would’ve been devastating!
Awww that is so sad! You can still put it in a box and use it though… haha.

Hi Sheila,
I know! I was so bummed when it happened, sigh.
I feel your pain… Though, that is such an artsy pic. Perhaps you could sell and then buy back your beloved Blue Sorcery! 🙂
Hi SammyJ,
Good idea! Does anybody want a picture of a broken pan of MAC eyeshadow? LOL!
Oh that is too bad but I think you might be able to push it back together with either alcohol or face and body mixing medium.

Hi CC,
Yah, it’s probably re-pressable. I dunno if I have the patience to do it though, LOL. I’m tempted to just break into it!
what a start to a day:(
Ohhh no! But on the bright side that’s one amazing cam you have! 🙂

I dropped my Midnight Madness today. It landed on the top and I had to make myself turn it over to see how bad it is. Lucky me, the e/s is ok 😉
Oh no!
I remember almost dropping “Parrot” once and while trying to catch it, my speech went in slow motion “nooooooo”
