That's odd... I asked an MA if shadow refills could be used for b2m and she said she wasn't sure so she asked the manager and he said yes?
But then again the store just opened so maybe they just don't know everything yet? But still...

a lipstick or gloss retails for about 14$ .
It doesn't make sense to buy pots for recycling as they are 4$ more than pans,hence 6x4= 26...you could buy almost two lipsticks!!!
don't waste your money on pots

I asked again today about the pencils, this time at Bloomingdales and was told that the regular pencils are a no go, but....the lip or eye pencils that you don't have to sharpen (Technakohl Liner Eye Pencil/Cremestick Liner Lip Pencil) in the hard plastic cases are good for B2M.

I went into the free-standing MAC store today in Fashion Valley (San Diego) with 36 empties and they gave me back the containers of blush that I had depotted. They said that they were no longer accepting containers of blush and/or eyeshadow WITHOUT the pan IN it! Anyone heard anything about this? She told me I could bring back the containers once I used up all the blush and had the pans with them.
What a rip! What difference does it make whether it has the pan or not? Point is, I bought the stuff and I'm bring the containers back to recycle them.
So my question is, is this happening just at this particular store, or is this a new rule?

Yo, here's my chat yesterday... was wondering about the B2M and depotted shadows:
Welcome to MAC Cosmetics Online. One of our Artists will be with you shortly.
Hello. Thank you for your interest in MAC Cosmetics. My name is Sara. How may I assist you?
Evey: Hi, I have a question about back 2 mac
Evey: If I have removed the eyeshadow pans from the plastic containers, are they still elidgable for return for back 2 mac?
Sara: Hi Evey! If it is a Pro Palette refill (it will have a magnet and sticker on the bottom), you can use it towards Back to MAC. If it's a shadow from regular packaging that you "depotted", you cannot use both the plastic container and the refill.
Evey: Okay, thank you!
Sara: No problem! Save all of your Pro Palette refills for recycling!

M.A.C. stores are the only place that you can get a lipglass,lipstick,or eyeshadow for your recyclable. At partnered locations they can only get a lipstick.
