MAC Enchanted Eve / Magic Of The Night / Irresistibly Charming Holiday Collection (Oct 18, 2015)

[MRV]

Yes, the bags are to my knowledge (they have been in the past).

Here you guys go. Let me know if it's too hard to read?

One line got cut off at the bottom. It just said that the program is available in North America but not in all markets.



Thanks! Hmm, I think I have B2Med a travel size Fix+. Also, there used to be these Travel collections (I have several palettes). It would be odd if I could not B2M them (there have been similar 'normal' palettes).

No problem doing that at all. All full size items can be recycled. Even tho it says "not for individual sale" on the bottom, all that means is that someone can't buy just that one item from the set, nor can they return just that one item from the set. It's all or none. It has nothing to do with B2Ming the item. The only thing that affects B2M with regards to the holiday sets are the minis, and those, while listed as excluded items, have always been accepted if, and only if, you have all the minis that came in the set (all 5 glosses, all 5 pigments, etc.).

Yes, as iShadow precised, it's the mini sets you need to have all in order to B2M. I remember some MUA telling me years ago that you need to have the whole set for B2M and the packaging. The packaging would actually make sense because the MUAs I talk with here usually have no idea of Mac history/past releases that happened only a few years ago. So I could just grab a selection of minis without the packaging and say "hey, it's a mini set from 200X!"

It does not say in the above pic, but I've heard before that those plastic roll-up pencil liners, like Technakohls, would not be accepted. It this (still) true?

I'm a fair-ish redhead, too. Just buff the product into the skin (and use a little amount), so it's fine!

Can someone refresh my memory...I know the holiday stuff comes out in parts. One part features new lipsticks, eye shdows like any other collection. How about the other parts? One part will be the lipgloss sets and pigments set? How about the sets that come out in bags? I guess we all have to wait for more info and release dates but can someone describe how the holiday stuff usually comes out

do you guys think that shaft of gold will be similar to glorify?

I don't think so. Glorify looks more copper in comparison.

The SAs on the Mac stores that I go always check the B2M items before accepting them and the only things that can be exchanged are either an eye shadow, lipgloss, or lipstick from the permanent section. LE lipsticks and eye shadows in regular packaging don't count.

On the B2M train, I always thought any items that said B2M on the flap of the cardboard box would apply?

 

[iqaganda]

So does that mean we can't B2M for limited edition regular packaging items? I just did it a few weeks ago (for Silly from Mac Is Beauty) but it seems like that's what it implies?

I think it depends.. Here in hkg it's only applicable for permanent lipsticks

I'm not so sure about that... I've B2M many LE lipsticks, glosses and eyeshadows. My MAC counter accepts any empty packaging for B2M and they let me get LE lipsticks no problem as long as they're in regular packaging. It's very frustrating that the 'rules' are different at every location and depending on who is helping you!

Lol yes, that's what it implies!

I've only used B2M once, haven't used it again

 

[Corally]

Can't even B2M here in Holland. They don't have the program. :/

Can't here either in Trinidad. But I still save my empties for whenever I travel or when I have family or friends travelling

I'm also saving my empties. After a couple of years I almost have enough for 1 lippie lol. Might ask a friend of mine to b2m it when she goes on vacation to the US next year.

 

[stirfryedshana]

The LE exclusion was the latest update, I didn't know about it until now. B2M is ever evolving, and not in a cute way.


Lol yes, that's what it implies!

Man, that's annoying! Why exclude the LE colors when they're the same price? I'm glad I didn't wait another few weeks to B2M for Silly then!

Look at what I found..... hopefully this means swatches are soon to come.  :eyelove: Credit to Instagram user sheshopsmakeup

I LOVE this packaging, I wish I was crazier about the products but I'm not I feel like I have to settle for things I just "kind of like" this time bc I want the packaging. I won't buy a ton because of that but even w an item or two I feel silly

 

[bluelitzer]

Getting Please Me and All Fired Up. Got soooo so many Evening Rendezvous look alikes (plus backups!) in my stash.

 

[stirfryedshana]

I really hope we find out if Please Me is in the EG collection too before this comes out...if it is I'd rather get it from that and get different lippies in this packaging.

thank you @erine1881   thanks to both of you for clarifying this. and sorry for hijacking this thread a bit to all of you but I needed to know about the bag sets 

You're welcome :wink:

Glass, metal, or plastic. The technakohls count as they're plastic.

Saw the face palettes today, the packaging is quite nice. I'm not interested in kits but I do think I need to try a Cream Colour base.

Any suggestions on shade? I'm wearing NW18 in Mineralized and the new Waterweight.

Thanks for the help.

Gorg packaging. Did we figure out what the highlighter is? Not WOG, right? Or it's not confirmed? I can't remember where we are with this, lolll.
