Mac Pro Store In Sf

This is my first post.. be patience with me lol?

Girls in SF, do they accept your eyeshadow pot without the metal pan in mac pro store?

So, i called the mac pro today the one that is located in union st to make sure if they accept it or not, because i dont want to go there looking stupid b/c i dont have the metal pan in..

so a guy picked up the phone and i asked if they accept the eyeshadow pot without the metal pan and he said no.

any1 went there and the MUA accept it?

OHH.. and then i called the one in filmore one and the lady picked up the phone and i asked her.. and she asked me "you mean you depotted them?" and i said yes and she said its okai..

i think this post might be in the wrong place but it just depends on the store. i would try calling back later and asking someone else. i'd ask if they accept depotted e/s instead of "without the metal pan". it just sounds better. haha

my local FS store in san jose takes depotted containers back no problem. i'd call other stores if SF pro says they don't.

Talk to Lalee at the pro store. She is great and she really puts customer service first. She has bent rules for me before

not sure where you are but the mac store in concord takes them no question

Yes.. I have B2M a few times and on Saturday I B2M and was told by my guy that I need to have the pans in them...He let me go this time but said I needed the pans. So I will be on eBay now getting them

I know that you cannot b2m for a viva glam lipstick, but can you use an empty viva glam as one of the 6 empties for something else?

Is the tinted lipglass the only kind of lipgloss you can pick when doing a B2M?? Can you pick a plushglass/lustreglass?

I was pretty disappointed when I brought my empties to b2m for a dame edna lipglass. They told me that since the collection is very limited, the employees could not get a discount and customers could not b2m for anything in the collection. Real BUMMER!!!

For the Houston area girls-Yesterday I tried to B2M at the Houston Galleria store and was told they don't accept anything melted. Needless to say I won't be shopping at that store anymore. I've never had a problem with Saks, Dillards or Macy's.

I did a B2M yest - enough for 2 items and the Harlem store wouldn't accept my 2 MAC wipes packages saying they only take plastic. Erm ..they ARE plastic?!!
The SA threw them away, gave me a free lippie and gave me back the four remaining empties I had!

I haven't read all of these pages, but I have a really old MAC lipstick...it must have be an LE (it's called Diva)...and the tube is completely silver. I don't remember the collection but can I give this back (along with 5 other items)?

Also, do you just get a lipstick, or can you get an eyeshadow instead?

As far as i know you can take it back.
If you go to a counter you can only get the lipstick,
if you go to a MAC freestanding store or mailing in the empties you can get lipstick, lipgloss or eyeshadow.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I read the first 7 pages of this thread and the last two pages, and didn't find my answer.

I know that for holiday pigment sets you need to take back the entire set in order to count as one empty, but what about the lip sets where you get two lipsticks and a mini lipgloss? The lipstick is full-sized, so shouldn't that count as a full-sized empty? Then would the mini-lipgloss count as an empty by itself as well?

thanks!

you need all five mini pigments/glitters to count as one recycle.
you need all five mini glosses to count as one recycle.

as for the 2 lipsticks/mini gloss, each lipstick counts as one, and the gloss only counts if you have 4 other minis to equal one recycle. you can combine all the minis-3 mini glosses with two mini pigments, 2 mini glosses, 2 mini pigments, 1 mini shadestick (from a few years back).

in other words, 5 minis (of anything) count as one recycle.

xxprettyinblkxx · Jan 6, 2009

hey all, im not sure if this has been asked, but i heard that you b2m stuff if it isnt completely empty, is that true?

if so, i have a foundation that i bought a couple of summers ago when i was really tan, but havent been that shade since and theres still about 50%-ish left in the bottle, would i be able to b2m that?...TIA!

erine1881 · Jan 7, 2009

things don't have to be empty. you can b2m contains with product still in them.
