in our pro store-yes!
but they don't accept any special size items or pot without pans in them .

a lipstick or gloss retails for about 14$ .
It doesn't make sense to buy pots for recycling as they are 4$ more than pans,hence 6x4= 26...you could buy almost two lipsticks!!! don't waste your money on pots

promotional sized items don't count for b2m!

I asked again today about the pencils, this time at Bloomingdales and was told that the regular pencils are a no go, but....the lip or eye pencils that you don't have to sharpen (Technakohl Liner Eye Pencil/Cremestick Liner Lip Pencil) in the hard plastic cases are good for B2M.

While intoxicated once, I lost the top of my Myth lipstick, lol, and could NOT find it.. The remains of the tube is empty, but without a cap, Will they still take that? and with 5 other containers would this count for 1 lipstick?

I went into the free-standing MAC store today in Fashion Valley (San Diego) with 36 empties and they gave me back the containers of blush that I had depotted. They said that they were no longer accepting containers of blush and/or eyeshadow WITHOUT the pan IN it! Anyone heard anything about this? She told me I could bring back the containers once I used up all the blush and had the pans with them.

What a rip! What difference does it make whether it has the pan or not? Point is, I bought the stuff and I'm bring the containers back to recycle them.

So my question is, is this happening just at this particular store, or is this a new rule?

Do the tubes that lip stains and lip gelees come in count? I would assume so but I wanted to check first.

Yo, here's my chat yesterday... was wondering about the B2M and depotted shadows:

Welcome to MAC Cosmetics Online. One of our Artists will be with you shortly.
Hello. Thank you for your interest in MAC Cosmetics. My name is Sara. How may I assist you?
Evey: Hi, I have a question about back 2 mac
Evey: If I have removed the eyeshadow pans from the plastic containers, are they still elidgable for return for back 2 mac?
Sara: Hi Evey! If it is a Pro Palette refill (it will have a magnet and sticker on the bottom), you can use it towards Back to MAC. If it's a shadow from regular packaging that you "depotted", you cannot use both the plastic container and the refill.
Evey: Okay, thank you!
Sara: No problem! Save all of your Pro Palette refills for recycling!

now you can B@M for not only a lipstick but also eyeshadows and lipglosses!

M.A.C. stores are the only place that you can get a lipglass,lipstick,or eyeshadow for your recyclable. At partnered locations they can only get a lipstick.

I had no idea that you could use the PRO pan refill?!!? I'm excited and sad at the same time. Now I can return them in the future, but now I lost out on the 4 I threw away last week due to being an idiot!! UGH!
