Do you know if you can B2M for Mattenes at a counter? Technically they are a lipstick, but I am not sure.

I was able to do it once before, but then the next time I went it was a NO! Same counter, different person. I hate how the rules are always changing! I would call and ask your specific counter.

Have people really been successful in getting MES through B2M!?
Give me the language to use at my counter, if so!

If I recall right, Tat2dbeauty07 has gotten MES as her freebies before.
When I B2M, I just tell them I have 6 empties that I would like to turn in for a shadow (I always get shadows). That's about all I have to say!

Counters you can only get lipsticks.
Freestanding stores you can get an eyeshadow, lipgloss, or lipstick. (Sorry if I wasn't clear in my last post)
I successfully B2M'd for a MES at a store tonight.
I dunno, I kinda find it strange that you can get a MES for a freebie since it's a $19 product. But whatever, I got one so I'm not complaining, haha.

the item you can b2m for has nothing to do with price point. the price ranges from $14-$21.
what you can b2m for is limited to certain products, not prices.

unfortunately, its both. it is allowable (in the US at least), but as others have posted on here, some locations aren't allowing them. some won't allow LE items either, even tho they're allowable according to policy.
i'd do what some have done and email mac corporate directly, asking what is and isn't allowable. then just take a printoff of their response with you, so that if they refuse, and it is allowable according to mac corporate, you can just whip it out and show em (i totally meant for that to sound
)!

^I got denied for both the depots AND the MES at the MAC store in Naples. Then in Tampa, she let me B2M the pots without pans but I had to buy the MES and she gave me my lipglass for free. I am never going to the Naples store again (not just bc of that, I've only once ever had a friendly MA).
I wish MAC would just have ONE policy for B2M that every store could go by. It would be much easier!
