My UK ladies, has anyone ever managed to b2m for an l.e. Lipstick? I know in America they can so long as it's not in special packaging. I said that when I was in Selfridges Manchester for heavenly creature but the sa said it was permanents only.

I have but they weren't very keen. I argued for a while and got it though.
It wasn't LE packaging.

thanks, that gives me hope!I have but they weren't very keen. I argued for a while and got it though.
i did live chat just then:
kerry: you know you can b2m for a lipstick, can you b2m for a 'limited edition' lipstick that's part of a collection?
Danni: Let me just double check this please??
kerry: i know that they can do that in america so long as the limited edition lipstick doesnt have special packaging, but i didnt know the policyin the UK?
kerry: Sure
Danni: Yes you can exchange for any lipstick except a VIVA GLAM LIPSTICK
kerry: oh thats great
kerry: so i'll be able to exchange for the lipsticks in teh upcoming fantasy of flowers collection?
Danni: in a store yes
kerry: so this policy doesnt apply at a mac concession?
Danni: yes sorry any MAC outlet, department store, airport or free standing store
kerry: ok that's great thank you
so i'll be printing that off!
i have some things to take back 2 mac but none of the permanent lipsticks are jumping out at me,
i think i like the look of snapdragon in the FOF collection so hopefully i can swap for that, go lowbuy!
i'll probably ring selfridges before i go anyway just to make my intentions known!

I managed to b2m for Sensual Sparks (my perfect nude!) from the nude collection a few weeks ago, the lady at first said no but when I told her that we can as long as the l/s is in regular packaging she rang someone to confirm and let me have it
Most MA's aren't educated on this unfortunately :/

yeah i get the feeling i'll still initially be told no, even if i ring ahead and take the live chat transcript.I managed to b2m for Sensual Sparks (my perfect nude!) from the nude collection a few weeks ago, the lady at first said no but when I told her that we can as long as the l/s is in regular packaging she rang someone to confirm and let me have it
most mac SAs on the concessions seem to be fresh out of college with no brand knowledge, shame really it puts me off wanting to spend any time at the counters.
the best SAs seem to be in the freestanding stores, the store in liverpool seem to be really good at making good personalised suggestions

Hello Lovely UK ladies Do any of you Beauts know when the elusive Heroine will hit the Uk Mac Site? All the blogs give the international website release as either the 14th or the 16th and yet it is still to appear!

Perfect Topping is looking very beige /brown in that picture. I'll see if I can handpick a nice purple one for myself. If not, I won't buy it, I already have one without much purple.

It doesn't look much like my Perfect Topping, if I remember rightly. I'll have to dig mine out and have a look.

Thanks. Do you know when HoF will get it? I still have a £20 voucher I'm dying to spend. Was going to get Naked 3 in the Oxford Street HoF, but they didn't have it.

Did they let you do it in the end? I've only ever b2m for LE l/s twice, once in harvey nichols and recently in the free standing store - they where both clueless but let me do it without too much troubleyeah i get the feeling i'll still initially be told no, even if i ring ahead and take the live chat transcript.

Saving my empties for the Fof collection!Did they let you do it in the end? I've only ever b2m for LE l/s twice, once in harvey nichols and recently in the free standing store - they where both clueless but let me do it without too much trouble
I still need to find thin magnets for the bottom of my depotted shadows so I can take the name stickers off the empties, cant find magnetic tape thin enough, and the pre cut circle magnets on ebay seem really expensive for so few?

I got mine from eBay - these ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A4-Sheet-...UK_Crafts_Other_Crafts_EH&hash=item33714ffbc3
They are quite expensive, but honestly that's as many as I'll ever need, and it's less than the price of a shadow pan. There are cheaper ones available but they're smaller circles, and I thought they might be too small, these ones are just the right size for the pans. The smaller ones will probably be fine, not as though they have to hold a lot, but I just felt like they'd be able to wobble around more.
