Using your B2M rejects

[manthanoelle]

Mantha Noelle Makeup TUTORIAL IS NOW UP ON MY BLOG.


So... I have a billion or at least what feels like a billion, B2M items which I can't use anymore because of the no depotting rule now

.


I wanted to try to come up with something to do with my depotted B2M rejects. And was wondering if anyone else has tried to do the same.


Also, if this is in the wrong area of the form or if there is a rule on picture size and I am breaking it, I AM SORRRRRY. Haha I am still a newbie here.




But, heres what I did with one of my blush compacts.

And yes those are sprinkles and glitter, Reflects Transparent Teal to be exact haha.

OMG! How freakin cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like candy!! YUM YUM!

 

[glamblover]

that is so awesme. i think im going to make one of those with an e/s case.

so, how did you attach the chain?

 

[ILoveMacMakeup]

OMG!! That rocks...I hope you dont mind me stealing this idea

 

[manthanoelle]

Nail glue haha. The chain was one of those that was to connect to each side of the broach that it originally came with, so it wasnt one "circular" chain it was really 2 that had opposing clasp ends on it. So I used a fast set nail glue and glued one of the chains to one side of the compact and the other chain to the other side. I don't really think I made any sense just now haha.

I am planning on making a bracelet next with all eyeshadow compacts and inside they have promo photos of my favorite collections.

UMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Can I have this?!!?! PLEASE. How freaking cool is that!

Can you do maybe a video or picture tutorial (I am a visual person, haha) on how to do this?!

 

[jjjenko]

Omg You Are A Genius!!!!!

 

[jojo_makeuplvr]

Very Creative!!!!!!

 

[Nzsallyb]

that looks awesome! how cool would that be as jewellery for the MAC MA's?

 

[Roxie]

I think you're about to regret sharing this brilliant idea here with everyone - you coulda made a killing on Ebay with all the different designs etc.!

In all seriousness, that is just freakin' genius and I can't believe no-one has thought of something like that before. I love it. And I really love the idea for the bracelet with different collection pix inside. Really awesome creative stuff there. You'll definitely have to share the photos of your next MAC project(s).

Just outta curiosity - did you glue the blush case shut once you filled it with the sprinkles?

I was considering making a video for it. I've never made a video tutorial before but maybe I'll have to change that.

Haha I considered selling them but I'd feel bad ripping people off.

Anddddddd the compact is not entirely full, it looks like it... but it's not. It's a bit tricky but I am definately going to make it a video for it so everyone can see

That would be awesome. PLEASE do and post it =D

 

[M.A.C. head.]

Omg Awesome Idea!!!

 

[HOTasFCUK]

Thats such a neat idea!

I didn't know they stopped taking depotted pots for B2M! Crap i have so many i've been waiting to bring in! Does this apply everywhere or certain locations?

 

[manthanoelle]

Some locations do from what I hear some do not. Well, most don't. I have about 4 or 5 freestanding stores in my area. The closest 2 to me I called when Starflash was going on and asked, 1 took depotteds the other did not. I called about a week ago to see if the policy for both stores were the same, and now they both don't take them. It's best to just call your store and ask.

 

[Preciouspink]

How cool!! & a video would make use love you eve more Lol!!

 

[Holy Rapture]

O wow, that is a serious MAC genius

You're so creative!
