since i work at a counter and not a store, i'm not sure about the dazzleglass, but i will ask when i'm at update.

i'm gonna say a big no to the couture lipglass. they cost more to make than regular lipglasses, which is why they cost more. again, i don't work at a store so i can't be for sure, but i'm still gonna say no. anyone?

True, but they do give plushglass which is $17.50 so I guess i'll have to wait and see!

At the store I go to you can only get things that are in the $14.00 to $14.50 area. I've even asked about different glosses, and they said no due to the price. It just goes to show that every store/counter seems to have different rules, so it's probably just best to check with the one you plan on going to.

I've never done B2M before so I have a question... can I take my studio fix powder foundation compact and studio fix concealer as empties? They aren't empty...but they are "dipping". I don't want them anymore because its really breaking me out and irritating my skin (I don't get this irritation with mineral foundation). Or will MAC not accept it since theres still a lot of product left? Will I need to somehow get rid of the product left?

edit: I heard some of the rules have changed, but are mascara tubes are still being accepted? What about quads? (these count as 1 right?)

TIA!

I was able to B2M for dazzleglasses at my local MAC free standing location earlier this year with 0 problem.

they don't have to be empty, and yes, mascara and quads count as one each.

hi...i've never b2m'ed and was wondering if they will take back the blush compact minus the pan...i depotted a few blushes and put them in a palette but was wondering if the eyeshadow pan policy applied to blush pans as well??

TIA

Anyone know if the St. Louis Freestanding store is still taking empties without the plastic or metal pan? Thanks!

at stores, you get a lipstick (lipstick, slimshine, mattene), shadow (regular pot only, no MES or pans) or lipgloss (lipglass, lustreglass, plushglass, lipgelee, or chromeglass), but only if you have your information entered into the computer. if you don't, then you only get a lipstick.

at counters, you get a lipstick (lipstick, slimshine, mattene) only.

wait, what do you mean by having information entered into the computer? i'm confused...

they enter your name, address and phone number into their store computer. after that's been entered, you can choose between the 3 products as your freebie. if you refuse to give them that info, all you can get is a lipstick as your freebie.

that's all there is to it.
