You can take back everything but pencils that you sharpen, brushes and accessories (and their packaging).

Could a MAC artist please tell me whether or not they will accept an empty LE Beauty Powder compact? I have the empty compact with the tiger stripes (Peaceful Beauty Powder from Raquel Welch line) I am guessing this has been asked on the thread already somewhere but I can't find it. I apologize for gumming up the thread with a question that's probably a repeat.

HAHA. This sounds like my very first B2M experience...it could have also been that their place was super busy that night for me anyways.

I was surprised that the MA didn't inspect every single item I had turned in...then again, I didn't have any shadows or blushes, which have the strict "NO DEPOTTING" rule on them.

I just B2M'ed a bunch of depotted eyeshadows and stuff and didn't have a problem with it. But I know the MUA very well so that might be why....*Shrugs*

But I had a confusing experience today with B2M.

I tried to B2M for a Saint Germain lippie at a MAC counter in Macy's for my sister. They told me that I couldn't do that cuz it's an LE lippie and only lippies in the permanent line are eligible. I thought MAC counters were allowed to offer any lippie besides VIVA GLAM cuz its funds go to charity (like the pro stores). I had previously B2M'ed for Way to Love which is a LE lippie (correct me if I'm wrong), so why is there a restriction on Saint Germain?

I even went so far as to call the pro store and ask them if there was a new rule. They said I should be able to B2M for Saint Germain, but that their store was out of stock.

So...the only thing I can think of is since Saint Germain is sold out in pro stores and this Macy's counter happened to have some left, they decided to make their own rule. Or that maybe a new memo about eligible B2M lippies came out recently.

Does anyone know what the deal is? I really want to get one for my sis...either that or I'll have to get Pink Nouveau or even Snob instead of the lippie she wanted initially

^^^you should've been able to get it. i work at a macy's mac counter, and i posted that memo info the day we got the memo. that's the mos recent information we've gotten about B2M. we've forever given LE lipsticks for B2M, with or without special packaging. we still take depots too.

Okay, I e-mailed Customer Service and got this reply for free-standing MACs "any Lipstick (excluding any of the Viva Glam Lipsticks), Clear or Tinted Lipglass (excluding Viva Glam Lipglasses) or a Small Eye Shadow (excluding Mineralize Duo and Pro Palettes)".

I'm guessing their info is outdated? They didn't exclude any LE items, but I really want a MES. I hope I don't run into any problems at the store.
