Have You Ever Had Hassles With B2m?

I have 18 e/s pots that I depotted and put into a palette tonight (went really well and easy too). I want to return 6 tomorrow for a lipstick. Has anyone every got a hassle at MAC because the pan was missing and the inside piece was a bit melted?

I just don't want to have to fight with them but will if necessary.

Thanks everyone.

[user3]

Nope not ever.

 

[MACreation]

They don't mind!

 

[Moppit]

Thanks so much everyone! Now I have to decide on a colour.

 

[bluegrassbabe]

No, they take them in any condition.

 

[ruby_soho]

They just melt them down again to recycle them so it doesn't matter how mutated they are.

when i turned mine in, they didnt even look at them!! I just tossed them into a bucket, i dont even think they counted them!!!

I think the only thing you may have problem with is if you try to Back2MAC the Holiday mini's as singles or if you try to B2M finished pro pans (without the plastic). Those are the only things I've heard via MAC communities, but I've personally never had a problem since I've never tried to B2M those items.

Finished pro pans aren't eligible for B2M. Having said that, they are cheaper than the pots so over six you save about the price of a lipstick anyway.

Back 2 MAC Question

I tried searching for this on the forum, maybe I am not doing a good enough job but I saw in MUA that the brush cleaner bottle qualifies for B2M? Right? Does it qualify like one eye shadow empty? I was wondering what else qualifies other than eyeshadow empties?

 

[sharronmarie]

Pretty much anything you can melt, like, compacts, lipgloss/lipglass, liqued eyeliner, mascara...

a bottle of brush cleaner does count for B2M, and if you have any of those makeup wipes that little baggie it came in counts as well. Anything that a product was in EXCEPT the box and etc counts as B2M.

Here is some info you might find helpful:

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, make-up 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.

Haha...I was wondering the same thing since I just emptied my bottle of brush cleaner.

 

[user4]

ong this i didnt know... that im pretty pissed off about now is that the baggie from the makeup remover whipes qualifies... i threw like 3-4 of those away!!! aaahhh

 

[caffn8me]

Just in case there is still any doubt about the M·A·C Brush Cleanser bottle, I've just checked the box it comes in and it has a Back 2 M·A·C logo printed on it.

 

[ruby_soho]

Isn't the plastic case for false eyelashes B2M-able?

 

[user3]

Oh darn, I just tossed a empty bottle of MAC cleaner into recycle.

Thanks for asking because I would have never thought about it.

 

[anniewayz]

ooh thanks, i almost threw out my bruch cleaner botle.

 

[professionaltart]

Paint tubes are certainly eligible for B2M as well as the the plastic case that the false eyelashes come in.
