Re: Can we Back2MAC for Slimshines??
I tried to B2M on Sunday for a slimshine at the Valley Fair store, and was told that I couldn't because the Slimshines are $0.50 more expensive than the regular lipsticks or shadows etc. I ended up getting a shadow instead and just buying the lipstick.
So maybe it's based on the store, given that other people have said they could do it?

Re: NEW B2M Rule???
I just B2Md on sunday at the Valley Fair (San Jose) store. I used all my depotted Strange Hybrid stuff. I always put my groups of 6 into ziplock bags when i take them back, and she didn't even look at the bag, before she put it into the whole in the wall.
It seems like it's up to the discretion of the store manager, as I've also done the same thing at the Hillsdale store, and they too haven't ever taken the pots out of the ziploc bag to 'examine' them.

Re: Can we Back2MAC for Slimshines??
^ When I asked the MA she checked with her manager, who went to the back to check whatever head office would have said and said yes. It may be that the MA doesn't know yet that it's doable. I thought it was too good to be true to b2m for a Slimshine b/c of the price, but the manager confirmed in front of me. =D

Re: back2mac.
Return six empty (or unwanted) plastic/glass containers and get a free lipstick, including specially packaged and excluding Viva Glams. Sample jars do not count towards Back 2 MAC. The only items that I can think of that do not count towards B2M are sharpen-able eyeliner pencils and lip liners.

Re: Can we Back2MAC for Slimshines??
When they first launched we were told no you couldn't b2m for them but a memo finally came down saying yes. So perhaps that counter just hadn't gotten the memo yet.
(breaking my rule and talking to MAC Pixie after the blue lipliner incident ;-)

=T Some counters/stores don't allow LE's even if they're in regular packaging, like Danse or Strange Hybrid, tho I think that's been happening less lately. And special packaging wasn't allowed before but it is now, at least for lipsticks (see live chat here). I b2m'd 2 Barbie lipsticks no problem!

Re: Can we Back2MAC for Slimshines??
This is soooo GD frustrating. I tried to B2M (and had specifically saved empties for Slimshine) and was told no because they were LE. That's fine if that's the rule, but it seems so arbitrary and not communicated by the head dogs of MAC what is and is not allowed.

| Back to M·A·C Program As a part of a pro-environment commitment to recycle/reuse waste, M·A·C recycles its primary packaging through the Back to M·A·C Program. M·A·C encourages our customers to return primary packaging of many M·A·C products to M·A·C counters. This packaging is then forwarded to appropriate recycling centers. By returning six (6) M·A·C primary packaging containers to a M·A·C counter, you will receive a free M·A·C Lipstick of your choice [except for the Viva Glams]. This is how we thank you for helping the environment through recycling. Most primary packaging of M·A·C products is accepted as Back to M·A·C "currency." M·A·C does not accept the following as a part of the program: * Secondary packaging of any sort [paper box, plastic/cellophane wrapper, shopping bags, etc.] * Samples [sample containers, special/trial size products for promotional/seasonal kits] * Cosmetic applicators/tools [disposables, puffs, sponges, scissors, spatulas, swabs, sharpeners, tweezers, curlers] * Accessories [bags, belts, makeup cases, lashes, Blot Film] In addition to our "Back to M·A·C Program," M·A·C uses minimal packaging and recycled paper to paperboard packaging in our offices, manufacturing and distribution facilities. Vegetable-based inks are used for printing whenever possible. At M·A·C we share your concerns about the environment and we are continually looking for ways to address those concerns while providing our customers with complete product satisfaction and safety. |
