    I love the Back2MAC program. I recently picked up my first l/s and will continue to collect my empties. When I am in the situation that I want to buy a product that I know I will use up but I...

    I give credit to MAC for doing this b/c it is a good gesture on their end. But I end up giving away all my Back 2 MAC containers b/c I can't wear lipstick. I don't like the texture. A couple...

    There is nothing bad to say about this inventive idea program. Since I buy so much MAC, I don't even know how many free lipsticks I've gotten in return for my packaging, but probably more than an...

    I'm very, very, very, VERY touched by MAC's recycling program. My heart always aches a little when I have to throw used makeup packaging out, and MAC's B2M campaign is one reason why I love 'em....

    How could you not love this program? You use up 6 MAC items (except liners, as they leave nothing to recycle) and you get a free lipstick and help the environment! I do wish it was a free shadow...

    I think it is excellent that MAC is doing this. I have gotten 2 (maybe 3) lipsticks through the program so far and am well on my way to another one. I wish other companies would do this as well. It...

    I am actually an artist for MAC, and this is one of our most popular programs. We cannot reuse the packaging that is recylced, because the FDA only allows cosmetics to be packaged in virgin...

    I wish all high and mid/high companies would do this. Even if you get there with your empties and don't see a lipstick you want or you don't use lipstick, you can always buy a gift for a friend or...

    Back to Mac is great. I already love the company and the fact that they even offer this is amazing. For every 6 empties you return you get a free lipstick. They accept many different forms of...

    I love Back 2 MAC! How could you not? Free makeup for doing nothing! Plus it gives me an excuse to go on de-potting sprees. And if you don't like lipstick, you can always just give your empties to...

    I have no idea what MAC does with the items that are returned to them (can they really be recycled?), but returning them for other kinds of use beats throwing plastic items into the trash. I'm...

    This is a great program. You bring back 6 empty plastic products (they don't even have to be empty) and you get to choose a lipstick for free, excluding the Viva Glams. This is a great program...

    I don't live close to a stand-alone store so most of my shadows are in pot form (until I depot them!) It's nice to recycle and get a free lipstick, too!
