Back to MAC for Australians

A few months ago, I heard about the revised B2M policy in the states - how 6 empties could now be exchanged for lipglass & eyeshadow as well as lipstick at freestanding locations. I went to the Chapel street pro store last week and apparently the girls had never heard of this policy. Is the promise of free shadow restricted to the sweet unholy states? Does the Sydney pro store do this too?

Thanks

AFAIK Australia B2M only offers lipsticks for empties. I send mine back to Paddington and when I spoke to staff there was told only lippies as that was company policy. I am not sure US MAC offers an eyeshadow or lipglass as well as a lipstick???

It's still redeemable for lipsticks only.

Jump on the com.au site and write to the company. You'd be surprised how effective a well-placed email or two can be.

Cool! I wish they did that here - it would be GREAT to be able to pick up a gloss or e/s every now and then

I'm going to attempt depotting soon (using this websites instructions: http://www.makeupaddict.org/maceyedepot.html ) and from the looks of the finished product, the plastic insert inside the pot ends up rather melted - is this a problem for the B2M policy, or do they happily accept them as they realise they've just been depotted?

I use the iron method, so my pots don't end up nearly that melted... in fact I can usually put them back together and they look almost normal (aside from the missing pan and some melting on the base where i've gotten the label off). I've never tried the candle method.

using an iron is super easy.

I really wish they would exchange empties for e/s, I'm allergic to most lip products so I see no point B2M'ing my empties.

correct - it's the primary packaging, not the box.

Does anyone know if Myer does B2M? (Specifically Chatswood Myer?) I've got a whole bunch of depotted shadows I need to take in. Also two more questions..
Do they take empty brush cleanser bottles?
Does it have to be completley empty, like I have two Studio Fixes that are WAY to light but still have a bit left in them.

Does anyone know if the MAC counter at Myer in Parramatta will accept depotted eyeshadow pots without the metal pans in them?

Thanks in advance!

They should do I know they in Myer Chatswood and Pitt St Mall.

Also, I read on one of the NZ posts that they dont accept glass there, MAC accept glass in Australia right?
