I think they sometimes try to discourage people returning depots, but nowhere in the B2M policy outlined on there website does it actually forbid it. It just says you can return 6 primary packaging containers for a free lipstick. Hand them over in a bag and they'll be less likely to look. I must have B2M'd well over a dozen times before and only been told once I couldn't do depots. (I just held onto them and went back to the counter when that person wasn't there.. and they took them).
yeah i always hand mine over in a bag. but on the times where i have sent my empties actually to mac hq there have been depots included and never have they said anything about it not being ok to do!

guys i thought i would post a link to my specktra july faves video here so you can see what was in my glossy box this month! turns out it was a bargain! - Lou’s July favourites

I'm a bit nervous about B2Ming my depotted eyeshadows as well, as I have a lot and it is going to be the first time I'll be doing this.
I think I'm just going to try to go to a different store, if they will refuse to take mine.

i was worried about this too at first, but ive never been questioned about it... one girl asked me if i had mac palettes cos it works out cheaper to get them with out the pots, and i said yeah, and she then realised i'd depotted and she asked me how i did it, cos she tried with a lighter and it was messy, so i actually taught her how to do it!
if you are really bothered you can buy some empty metal pans from some where like the coastal scents website and stick them into the pots, which i did my first time, but she didnt even look @ them so i havent bothered after that.. i use the pans for pressing pigments now

yeah I have so many, and I only have one store I can get to

I might just buy some cheap pans off of ebay

I went to London today and had such a good time! :) Went to the Mac pro store and got a water based mixing medium and the eyeliner gel one, plus 5 pigments/glitters. (Got Pink Pearl finally that Lou made me fall in love with, all her fault, lol.) There were all these gorgeous 3D glitters, gold and silver with all sorts of coloured glitter, so gorgeous, if they didn't cost £15.50 each I would've bought them all! But I wouldn't actually use them, so sadly, I had to leave them behind. Has anyone got Steel Blue pigment? It is so gorgeous!

I also picked up Kelly Green, but they were out of Chartreuse which was the other one I wanted. Never mind.

I also went to Selfridges to see if they still had anything left from the Byzance collection and to my surprise the MA said they had loads left, so I got the eyeshadow quad, the lipstick and the red blush (they didn't have the gold one, but I didn't want that anyway), plus this new 3 colour shimmery trio, supposedly for the eyes, sorry I forgot its name, but it's gorgeous!
heart.gif
I'm sure it's a new limited edition product and it's not on the website yet, so don't know if it's Selfridges exclusive or not. (I read about it on Cafe Makeup ages ago, but can't seem to find it, I'll try to take a picture of it later/tomorrow.)

I also picked up some Andrea Fullerton nail polishes and a couple of glittery Nails Inc ones. So much for not buying more make up... ;)

Sounds like you had a great time! Engoy your goodies! Wow I'm surprised most of the Byzance collection was still in stock except Or JC! I thought Topkapi would have sold out ages ago!

Yeah, me too! I guess if it had been online it would've sold a lot better, but maybe people just couldn't be bothered to phone up. I did in fact phone to order, but they never called me back, so I ended up not bothering again. At least I saved on the postage, lol (although my travel card cost £11.80, but we'll ignore that little detail).

Oh it sounds like you had a fantastic time!! And yay for finally getting Pink Pearl! You won't regret it at all because it really is lovely! Use it over a dark base too for a really different look! I too love all the 3d glitters and you made some great choices with pigments! I have steel blue and it is fabulous!! And that is great you got hold of some of the Byznace collection! I too am shocked at how much they had left! And please let me know what the shimmer thing was... if it was the thing that can be used on eyes or cheeks i want that too!!

Correct me if I'mwrong but I think the shimmer thing is the £44 highlighter/eyeshadow trio thingy from the Les Aquarelles collection. I want it soooo badly but I've told myself that if I get it I can't buy anything from the Cinematics collection!

Yes, it's definitely £44! I know, I know, but I'm a sucker for these shimmery powders.

Here are the pictures:





It is even more shimmery in RL, looks like Swarovsky diamonds. Really pretty. But that's just an overspray, the actual product underneath isn't that shimmery. It is iridescent, but not glitterfest. (I haven't touched mine yet, but I did swatch the tester in Selfridges.)

I also got Reflects Gold and Reflects Transparent Pink. They also had this two tone blue-purple glitter that I didn't get, but might just go back in August for it, it wasn't as chunky as some other glitter, so might actually use it.

oh all the reflects ones are great! and was it purple duo glitter? it's a fine purple with pink duo chrome - i bought it a few years ago and love it! :) because it's so fine you can pat it on your lids for subtle sparkle!

Has anyone tried the Stila one step correct? Would it be cheeky of me to take a sample jar into boots with me to fill up? Haha! £24 is a lot for me to spend on a product without being able to test it thoroughly first

Colourizations and Cinematics have gone up on the mac website

It wasn't busy when I went in yesterday so I did a couple of pumps into a sample jar :)

I know, I'd have been all over them if we got to pick and choose, but none of these duos are doing anything for me :(
