B2M - Read before posting questions about Back to MAC.

[twobear]

Nooo....Are you lying to me????? I'm feeling lightheaded.....

 

[MACGoddess]

How did you find this out? We have heard nothing of this at my store.

 

[lara]

Someone verify this, please. It doesn't sound all that realistic.

 

[SARAHluvsMAC]

My manager posted the memo corporate sent out this morning on the wall... it also said that they would send more info about it soon

 

[n_c]

That is freakin awesome!!!

 

[SARAHluvsMAC]

Also there was another memo saying makeup applications are now $50 instead of $40

 

[V2LUCKY]

Shut up! How cool! I assume it won't be anything LE right?
So it's still 6 empties?
6 empties = eyeshadow, lipglass or lipstick?
Pan or pot form e/s?
Sorry so many questions but it's kinda hard to believe MAC is doing that. Yay! I'm excited!

whattt?! this sounds too good to be true!!

 

[Dianora]

Excellent news, especially since I don't wear lipstick nearly as often as I wear lip gloss and eyeshadow.

Will you let us know, when you get more info, whether they clarify the whole pot/pan B2m confusion while they're altering their B2m policy? I've been told at the Water Tower macys in Chicago that they only accept pots with the pans still in them, but they still took my depotted containers, and this is contrary to what a lot of people on this site say.

Hmm...for some reason when I went to my MAC counter yesterday, the MAs told me that I couldn't count the pans as a seperate item for b2m..
does it vary in store?

 

[aerials]

this is... the best thing ever.

 

[shabdebaz]

Sorry if it doesn't sound realistic, but it's true! Probably a dream come true for a lot of people. You can B2M for a lipstick, lipglass or eyeshadow! Our assistant manager announced this news yesterday. And it is effective immediately...only for freestanding stores. He also told us that you have to have an existing file at the store to redeem your empties. I don't know how this will work internationally.

i'm kind of bummed that it's only at stores, but i think it's worth it to drive the 40 miles to the store to get something other than a lipstick (i really only like amp. creams and they aren't coming out with any good amp. cream colours anymore...so i'm kind of stuck) any word on the official depotted e/s policy though? i keep hearing depots are okay, but then i hear that they're not...is MAC clarifying this?

 

[Carmell]

OOOhhhhh very very exciting news!

 

[cloverette]

does anyone know if this also applies internationally?

 

[SARAHluvsMAC]

the depotted pots thing depends on the counter/store's own policy...we accept depotted shadows just fine
for trade in: its only pot shadows u can get not the pan
also they are doing this as a continuing effort to seperate counter and freestanding stores...which i don't totally disagree with
