i got Microfine Refinisher in a swap, without a box. So im not sure if it count for B2M or not

anyone know?

Secondary packaging is not eligible for B2M, so your microfine refinisher without the box is fine as you only need to product itself for recycling.

Mascara works for B2M, correct?

Too many pages to read so.....
Paints.. are those a part of B2M?

I'm emptying my paint into a container cause I've dropped and stepped it too many time to count in the last 10 days.

the old nail polish bottles DO count!

any glass, metal or plastic MAC container counts. the only lip or eye liners that count are the retractable liners. all trial sizes (the ones that come in the holiday sets or the skincare try-on pacs) must be returned together and only count as one of the six recycles. boxes are not needed nor do they count. hope that helps.

Yeah, any PRIMARY packaging counts as currency for Back2MAC.

Tools and accessories do not count. (ie; pencil sharpeners, spoonges). The palette refil shadows do not count (the primary packaging would be the palette itself).

Janice-make sure the container you're empting your paint into is completely airtight.

Hope this helps.

pencil sharpeners do count, since they are plastic. and eyeshadow pans count as well, since they are metal. we accept them all the time at my counter. the only things that don't count are brushes, lip and eye pencils that you sharpen, and secondary packaging.

and things don't have to be empty either. if you don't use the color anymore, recycle it!

blot film packaging does not count. it is cardboard.

I forgot all about the B2M until I read this post, I depotted about 20 e/s this week I had already thrown them all away but luckily I was able to save 9 of them, does the FluidLine empties and the brush cleaner containers work the same.

erine1881 · 06-30-2007, 09:24 PM #**162** (**permalink**)

they sure do.

Ereka! I have found a way!

Does anyone know exactly how this works? If I want to mail 18 empties b2m, would I send 3 seperate packages of 6 empties? Or put all 18 in one package, with 3 seperate forms?

any help is appreciated! thanks!

when i do it, i just put them all in one package with one form and instead of listing my first choice with two backups, i list my first choices and then several backup options. for instance, i mailed back 18 last week and put my first three choices and then added another 4 or 5 shades below that just in case.
