B2M - Read before posting questions about Back to MAC.

B2M Pans

I was buying some pan only shadows from the Mac store in Minneapolis on the corner of Hennepin and Lake. The MA there told me they are now taking the pans (with the magnet on the back) as a B2M item. I've absolutely NO reason to buy them in the pot anymore if she's right!

 

[kradge79]

That's interesting, as I was told the other day that I couldn't turn in my depotted pots because they weren't a full piece, as the metal pan wasn't in them. It wouldn't make sense if they are taking just the pro pans for B2M. I just sent a complaint email to MAC regarding this, so maybe we'll get some sort of straight answer.

i never even look at the items ppl give me for b2m... i just count 6 and throw them in the box

hahahaha i feel the same way about the lip varnishes!

Attended a MAC seminar yesterday with one of the NW resident trainers and when talking about the B2M program she specifically said the containers don't have to be empty. She indicated the MAs don't have to do anything with them to prep them for recycling so it shouldn't matter if they still have product in them or not. The company that does the actual recycling deals with it.

Also wondering...when you return a mascara tube, how do they check inside to make sure it's empty? Or do they only give you a hard time when they can actually "see" that there's product in the container? "Uh, sorry, you still have a dab of Strobe Cream left. You'll have to use that up before I can take the tube. Here's some scissors so you can cut it in half and wipe out the remaining cream."

Nonsense.

[MACreation]

Wow, yeah. She actually told me to use the rest..?? I was bringing it to B2M for a reason ...they are silly . Thank you!!!

 

[DaizyDeath]

just have mac email you telling you that you dont have to have the containers empty print it out and show the lady at the counter

corperate has the say so in what goes to back to mac not the makeup artist


and if they keep on giving you trouble there then just send them in to mac by mail

 

[MACreation]

K, thank you!

 

[cinnamongurlee]

that was a very entertaining story. the poor MAC MA. she doesn't realize that recycling lippies is not the same as bottles at the depot.

i hope that your next try to give empties to Back 2 MAC is easier

Oh god, I'm so stoked! And so glad I didn't send my empties in and decided to bring them on my trip to NYC. You rock! And MAC does too, of course...

 

[Tash]

So you can't trade them in for E/S at the counters (like Macy's)? That makes me sad. Especially since I don't like lipstick.
