Some people do, but some stores aren't picky about that. If I got rejected, then I would invest in some empty pans... but then again, my pots are a bit bent up

Ugh, I hope my local Counter will take my depots =[ Otherwise Ill just probably have to throw them out. I'm too lazy and cheap to go through the whole process of ordering empty pans online + s&h for them and having to go glue them back in the pots. If I want the l/s that bad, I'll just buy it.
It's been so long since I've done my last B2M which was back in August when I got Fast Thrill l/s. I don't really want to ask or bring it up to the MA's at my counter or any counter in case they get curious and ask HQ about it and get the heads up that they're not allowed to take depots in.

Yes and yes for the first two, and you'll have to check with your local counter/store in regards to collection lipsticks. Most stores and counters accept B2M for any lipsticks in regular black casing (Viva Glam excluded) but it can't hurt to ring first.

Do you need to have the outside packaging as well as the 5 vials or 5 lipglass tubes? I was keeping mine in case and have misplaced them (or they got tossed), so now I am not sure if I can B2M the mini's.

nope. that packaging doesn't count, so no need to have it. just the vials/tubes.

I happened to stop in MAC the other night and asked about it (as I hadn't seen the response here yet) and I was told that they have no changed the policy on the mini's from the holiday sets and *each one* counts as an empty towards B2M!! So if you have all 5, there is your 5 of 6! I was thrilled to hear this!!

Any word if this is just in Canada or the US also?
It'll take me forever to go through a whole vial of pigment unless I dump all of the product out into a separate container which I might do, just so I can B2M soon again!
I just was at the counter in Macy's just when sugar sweet came out and did a b2m consisting of all depotted empty e/s pots. The MA just dumped them into a bin which I'm assuming is used to store all the B2m empties. She didn't even count to check how many empties I had or anything. No comment about them being depotted or anything either. I then was allowed to choose which l/s I wanted to get.

Ernie or Adina! Are you around here? I wonder if you will know this... which of the Mac stores in nyc is the best with B2M'ing depots without pans? Maybe I should just order some pans and be done with it.

I'm not too sure.. I would give your local store a call. I think I may also pour out my vials since I can't get a brush in those silly little things anyways. But they are just soooo darn cute. I am a sucker for little glass containers of anything
