Counters still give lipsticks only. everything else on the list I'd for the extended program at stores. The only exclusions is the super special packaging like HK or couture packaging since even us artists don't get that at discount.

All locations shouldve received, read, and follow this memo.

I tried to back to MAC for Style Warriors and they wouldn't let me said no cause the LE packaging and I have had some stores let me B2M for dazzel glasses and some say no. I did on the other hand have no problem with depots. It seems every store and counter has diffrent rules which is frustrating.

Is there a tactful way to ask them to check if its allowed, if they say they can't let you get something for B2M? For example, if they say they can't let you have a tricolor lipglass or something else from that list? Or would that just be really rude?

if they won't let you, just tell them to call me at the counter. are they still not letting you get certain items? i talked to our SRM, who is based outta keystone, and she said she'd have a talk to em. i told her about what happened to ya the last time and she said whoever helped you was incorrect, and that you should've gotten the SW item (i think that's what you were wanting) for B2M (i told her you were a custy of mine that i sent down there to get a gloss instead of a lipstick, lol).

we get the same fax sent everytime a new collection launches, and it always says the same thing, what is and isn't allowable (what i posted awhile back).

again, if they won't let you, have them give me a call and i'll talk to them. either they aren't receiving that fax, or they aren't paying attention to it.

Oh, wow! That is incredibly nice of you! (You are at the one in...oh...should I not post that here?) I actually haven't been back there yet but I have another batch of B2Ms to do that I hope to do sometime in the next few weeks. It might not even be a problem this time, (other than they'll probably be out of See-Thru lipcolours by then, but, oh well, maybe next time). I can always find something else to try, and really, who am I to complain when I'm getting free products? I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be really rude or insulting to ask about it. But it is REALLY nice of you to say I can have them call you...

Its fine to mention my location on here, I've done it a few times already myself. I'm at the glenbrook counter.

just tell em you were at my counter and I read off to you what all it includes off the memo, and if they give you probs just ask em to call me.

We just got rid of all our see-thrus and tricolours monday, but hopefully keystone will still hav em for ya (I wouldn't wait too long tho).

back to mac empties

i went to my counter yesterday to trade in some empties and they said they couldn't take my shadow containers cause they were depotted. WHAT? since when did this start? so instead of getting 2 lippies, i could just get one. ugh!!

Re: back to mac empties

That has been policy at MAC for quite awhile, I buy pans online and shove them in while the plastic is still warm (but don't tell MAC!). Sorry!

Yeah I just put pans in them as well. I usually get them from coastal scents but starsmakeuphaven has them too.

Re: back to mac empties

it has been clarified repeatedly in the B2M threads that depotted shadows were still allowed. That's straight from the MAC mothership. The MA is incorrect.
