I took back 36 empties the first (and only so far) time that I did it and they gave me the 6 lippies with no problem. They also accepted my empty wipes package. I really think it does vary alot depending on location.

So far I have not had a problem and I am hoping to get 2-3 of the l/s from the Belle Azure collection with my empties.

B2M Question!!

Do the products have to be emptied out from the container? For example, I have a couple shadows that I haven't touched from 2 1/2 years ago... definetely ready to trade them in. Should I take them out or bring it in as is? Also, I have 4 lipsticks... same story... they've been sitting in moving boxes from a couple years ago.. How do I go about this??

Hey!
I have turned in lipglasses that were not empty (old half full gunky ones lol) and even studio fix compacts with product left.
I think I asked the very first time I did B2M and they said I didn't need to empty or clean the containers. HTH!

No need to empty them out... I've taken back practically new l/s...
However, for the e/s I'd suggest you take out the little inserts and swap them. You can still take back the e/s pot without the inserts... Just a thought!

Back2 Mac question

Hey guys and gals, I know there are several B2M questions but I could not find this one in particular. When you depot shadows, first you take out the smaller pan, then there is the larger shadow 'case' so to speak. When you return the depotted shadow case thing to MAC, do they want both parts of it, or just the larger one? I know this is silly but thanks in advance.

I think if you have most of the outer pot, you're fine.

I usually take back the whole thing though - no matter how mutilated it is.

I asked this at the free-standing counter last week and was told they want everything except the metal part - doesn't matter how mangled the plastic is.

I have always taken the whole thing back, not sure if this is helpful, but they did not check to see if the plastic insert was intact (I always hand them to them in a baggy), and not one MA has ever opened it and then opened each pot to see if the inserts were there.

I believe they do work. But they must have the original magnet and lable attached. The silver pans that have been depotted do not count.

This reminds me I have to go depot, I have about 8 to do plus 4 or 5 other things I have been saving. WooHoo I think I can go get 2 new lipsticks!

Back 2 MAC in every country?

Does every counter/store in every country participate or only North American stores? I was just wondering cause I live in Austria, where every Color Story comes out a month later than in the US...

Thanx and sorry if there's a similar topic, I couldn't find any with the search function...

No I think that's just limited to Northern America! There is no B2M here in Germany...

--_-- what did the german MA's say about B2M? Did they know about it at all?

Maybe it's limited to English speaking countries ö_Ö

Singapore has B2M and so does Japan. But in Japan, you need 10 empties to get the free lipstick, which is stupid IMO.

You can always email MAC to double check their recycling program (B2M) policies in your country.
