Yesterday, I brought my laptops to BestBuy to get them fixed. I've been putting-off this errand for WEEKS, mostly b/c I really dislike going to places like BestBuy. ARGH! That's all I have to say about that experience.
To sweeten my sour mood, I drove to MAC (the store) / the MAC counter at Nordstrom - both in the same mall (another huge dislike) and practically next door to each other - and turned in some of my Back2MAC empties, which I've kept in my car for years "just-in-case"...and this was definitely THAT kind of day. I scored a total of seven (yes, 7) lipsticks! That's a total of forty-two (yes, 42) B2M empties!
ASIDE: I sent my li'l sis in S.F. 3 sets of B2M empties (e/s pots w/out pans) a couple years ago or so, right after all MAC stores/counters across-the-board stopped accepting depots. OMG, I still can't believe this: she let Nordstrom San Francisco Centre trash the B2M empties after they told her to be acceptable they needed the pans. "PANS?", I said incredulously. "PANS, that's it?" Dammit, I certainly had AT LEAST 18 empty e/s pans lying around...plus they'd be extremely light to ship AND they were already included in the empty Coastal Scents palettes I had bought for the depotted shadows! ARGH!
ANYWAYS...I traded-in ALL my empty pots WITH pans (well, almost; I have 3 left). The Cream Colour Base pots that didn't have pans (21), I kept. I have a lot of empty pans, but only for MAC-size blush & e/s, so I ordered a set of twenty-five (25) tin pans from tkbtrading to fit the CCB pots. Now, I'll be able to get four (yes, 4!) more lipsticks/lip glosses/eyeshadows (probably lipsticks - I'm old-school MAC like that)! Woohoo...
...oh yeah, I bought a couple matte blushes for contouring: Blunt and Harmony...
