European girls, Back 2 MAC?

[Koni]

European girls, is there Back 2 Mac where you live? My sister lives in Vienna and I want to send her some of my empties so she can get herself some lippies. She travels alot in Europe because of her job, so it wouldn't be a problem for her if there's no B2M in Austria.

Thanks so much for your help!

 

[ricciolineri]

Yes there is

At least in Italy

There is no B2M in Germany..
Thats sad because I have at least 4 or 5 empties here...one more and I could get a lippie...

 

[Koni]

Thanks! I wonder if it's available in the UK?

[poppy z]

In France too

 

[vickyc123]

No B2M in The Netherlands

Definitely in the UK, strange how its some countries and not others.

Ah bon?

In France is B2M?

I can go to every MAC store and bring back my empties (is it only e/s?)?

 

[MarieJ]

Yes, it's ok in France, I did it 3 days ago !

Sadly there's no B2M in Austria, I've asked an MA, and she replied with "No, that's the recycling programm isn't it?" Strangely enough Austria does recycle its waste usually

the one in selfridges if you have like 9 empties of blush you get the
10th one free

I know that we have back to mac in the UK. The only thing I wasn't sure about was if they'd take depotted e/s? The MA in nottingham seemed a bit unsure but said yes so I hope they do else its a bit of a waste of time me depotting my few shadows that are in pots!!

There is back to MAC in Switzerland, so for the girls from Germany or Austria that might be a solution.

where is back2mac in the Uk? where in London, in which store?

 

[Lalli]

^^any freestanding store? whenever i buy stuff from my local counter at selfridges they say i can take em there or to the freestanding store

No B2M here in the Netherlands and I'm guessing a lot of European countries will follow. It's a combination of things. First is the VAT issue, MAC still would have to pay the VAT on the commercial value of the product they give away for free = expensive. And then there's the European recycling law which is a b**** (know from work experience). It's not really allowed to do the recycling on your own initiative as a company.
Or so I understood when I started asking why I can't B2M...

i took my depots to the nottingham store and they were fine with it

i've only ever been offered lipstick rather than a shadow or gloss though.

For those who don't have B2M program in your country and are planning to visit Prague, you can always bring your empties with you here!

There are 3 MAC stores here, you can find the address on the MAC website or simply PM me for more details.

HTH!
