Do you mean the black insert was melted?

it's been months since i've done a b2m. my freestanding store no longer takes the depots w/o metal pan

Which lipglosses can you get? Can I get plushglasses and lustresglasses too or just the standard tinted lipglasses?

Oh noes, that sucks to hear

Mine still takes my depots, but I was told I do them very cleanly, so I think they might not be noticing no pan. My fave girl just picks them up and throws them in the bin without even counting. I'm always worried one day they won't take them, though.

Do pencil lids (lip liner, eye liner) count as B2M? Would one lid count as one B2M item? Or would it be more?

If not would they still take them?

You cant B2M lip pencils eye liners because they are not plastic. It has to be plastic containers.

example: Eyeshadow pots, Fluidline, paint pots, lipsticks, lipglass, tendertones, dazzleglass, pro makeup remover...

I actually said just the plastic lids not the actual pencils.

I know the mechanical liners are ok because they are all plastic.

only the lids to the mechanical ones, but they don't count as a separate b2m item. one lid and one pencil = one b2m.

yup!

 

[just_jill325]

okay..so after reading the last few pages of this thread I got kinda nervous before heading to my MAC pro store to B2M for a few eyeshadows because I depotted a lot of mine, and didn't have extra pans. To my surprise, they were really easy going!!! they didn't even check, nor counted how many items I had (I was nice enough to separate 6 in each bag)...so needless to say I stressed out for nothing. I guess some stores are really picky and some are not. Maybe it's cuz my city is small and they may not get that many B2M stuff or I dunno...lol but either way I'm glad!

Does that mean we can Back 2 Mac the brush sets? Would we also need the case it comes with?

Have you all been able to B2M pro palette tins at MAC stores or just the Pro Stores?

I went to a MAC store which did not take the pro palette tins, but I went to a Pro store which accepted them.

 

[bAbY_cHiCkEn01]

Can u B2M the eyebrow pencils? The mechanical ones?

 

[RayannaBanana]

Can you B2M Mattene lipsticks?

I hope so because I have one already to go and I don't have anything else to replace it.
