Yes, because it is a lipstick and not a lipglass.

Re: MAC FAQ: Back2MAC (B2M)
B2M is so confusing! I have atleast 24 empties at the moment, most of which are e/s depots. I was saving them up to take to Florida with me in 4 months - as I love the Orlando Pro Store there and wanted the option to get e/s and l/g, as we can't do that in the UK.

Reading back this thread it seems like they're tightening up on what is and what isn't acceptable. Has anyone B2M before at the Orlando Pro Store, good or bad experience? And do you think in 4 months time they will accept depots?

I would call a head and ask if they accept depotted eyeshadows.

Re: MAC FAQ: Back2MAC (B2M)
Does anyone know if the MAC counter in castle court Belfast takes eyeshadow pots that have been depotted and have the stickers removed as B2M?

Would go down and ask myself but have mobility problems at times and it would be so disapointing to make it all the way down there when i'm not feeling well just to find out I can't.

Thanks for any help.

Re: MAC FAQ: Back2MAC (B2M)
Hey, I asked about this last time I was in Castleccourt and the girl said it would be fine for me to bring them in even if they'd been depotted. I doubt the stickers would matter... I mean when I did my B2M last time, the girl didn't even look inside the bag to check if I'd even included 6 items. Hope this helps.

Re: MAC FAQ: Back2MAC (B2M)
Hey, only bad thing is our counter doesn't get Heatherette. It's a Selfridges and online exclusive, so we can't B2M for the lippes in it.

Re: MAC FAQ: Back2MAC (B2M)
Just respondong to what astronaut asked about slimshines. I went to my local MAC counter today and they couldn't give me a slimeshine for B2M. It might depend on different counters, but my one in Belfast said it was just the regular lipsticks (limited edition ones included).

all locations got a memo stating that slimshines were included in b2m, effective immediately upon the collection going up. so, your artists were wrong in not giving it to you.

Re: MAC FAQ: Back2MAC (B2M)
Will they give you a lip pencil if you want for your 6 containers?

Re: MAC FAQ: Back2MAC (B2M)
no lip pencil.

If you go to a counter: Just lipstick
If you go to a freestanding mac store: lipstick, lipgloss, or eyeshadow

Re: MAC FAQ: Back2MAC (B2M)
I did Back2MAC today (counter in Macy's), got Heatherette l/s. MU offered me any regular l/s, slimshine or Heatherette.

Re: MAC FAQ: Back2MAC (B2M)
Can you only get lipsticks from mailing B2M, or is it like the freestanding stores where you can get shadows too?
