Hmmm... That may just be the "official line". I know that there have been instances where they've let me B2M for products they weren't supposed to , but it's basically a question of what the individual store is willing to do. I'd suggest bringing your goods to a store and at least seeing if they'll bend the rules for you a little. What's the worst that could happen? I do think that the rule is that you can only B2M for items in "normal" packaging, but you might get lucky.
How can we B2M for oversized/more expensive eyeshadows? That's not allowed, is it? I have so many empties, I don't know what to do with them all - I would love to B2M for a shadow or two! What's the official word? :)

From what I can see the quality of these shadows are superior to TT. You should try at least one and see how you like the formula.
I will definitely buy one or two - I just don't want them lost and floating around in my drawers. I love my de-potted palettes! All 7 of them. :)

Not harmonized here, but 15% combined... Actually, I think it's 15.5% now, since it went up on Jan. 1. It's getting more and more tempting to go try out/ swatch everything in the store and then order on line. Save half the taxes.


^^ ooh, lucky you..ours is 13%. I know it's 1% but every difference counts. Boo to HST!

Peacocky is up online now on the regular website. Looks like they are barely putting it up because items are selling for $0.00 (I wish, right) So they must be tweaking it still.

I called a free standing MAC store yesterday and the girl said no..BUT I have, in the past, B2M @ a pro store and the guy helping me actually suggested that I go for the bigger shadow (better value). Just try?

I saw the collection today and I love love love Unflappable!!! It's funny 'cause it wasn't even on my list and I found it kinda boring in swatches. In person, it instantly caught my eye and it's a very unique smoky neutral that will get tons of use from me. It doesn't look brown on me at all, it leans more dark plummy grey. I am NC 15 and this shadow will prolly vary on different skintones. Suprisingly being a teal lover, I felt very bored by Odalisque. It looked like a common teal and not like birds and berries on me at all.
Prance isn't anything like Hypnotizing but they would go together. Prance and Dalliance are both very frosty light colors. I use these types of colors on the inner lid and tear duct quite often with looks. Top of the posh was a very pretty petal pink color but's gold sheen wasn't as noticable as I would have liked. To be honest, I am not overly impressed at the collection as a whole, I feel like alot of the shadows are just your standard colors instead of being interesting/unique. Unflappable is my favourite piece and I also got Dalliance and Prance but didn't test them out in eye-looks yet. I kinda wanted to wear Top of the Posh on my cheeks haha.

I really have to resist the urge to order. If I order I can have my stuff by Thursday, but I love idea of having them in my hand instantly tomorrow.

I bought some Tartan Tale eyeshadows (A Wish Come True and and Golden Crown etc) in the bigger pots and never use thm because I can't find them in my drawers... I forget I have them because they are not de-potted into my palettes.

Won't I have the same problem with these new shadows? If we can't de-pot them because they don't fit in a regular MAC palette, they'll just be floating in my drawer somewhere. What does everyone else think? Still get some no matter what?

I was reading on this thread that the shadows may fit MAC blush palettes. check and see. you can also pop off the divider of the MAC palettes and put them in there. I think you can fit 8 blushes/large shadows instead of 6 if you remove the dividers. google or you-tube that to be sure. you can ask a MAC artist, but they probably don't condone that practice, who knows. bottom line, you can find a way to depot them and store in in a palette

I'm a mess, you guys. I won't feel like going to pro tomorrow. So I ordered from Mickey and then did a separate, spur of the moment order for Peacocky.

I got:
Super
Peacocky
Exxxhibitionist
Flaunting It
Dalliance
Centre Stage
