April is commonly known as Earth Month so you might be stepping up your recycling game or making a conscious effort to buy more sustainable beauty products. While it’s something we should be doing all year round, April is a good reminder to kick us into gear. The MAC lipstick exchange recycling program can help in a small but important way by letting you recycle old products in exchange for a free new one. Yes, I said free.
- You’re rewarded for your recycling with free lipstick (valued at $18.50) — or if you go to the MAC store, complimentary lipstick, lip gloss or eyeshadow. RELATED: 7 Surprising Ways to Get Free or Affordable Makeup 3. Save up to 10% with discounted gift cards from Raise and Gift Card Granny.
- By returning six 6 MAC primary packaging containers to a MAC counter, you’ll receive a free MAC lipstick of your choice (excludes Viva Glam Lipstick and Limited Edition Lipstick) as our thanks to you. Please note, Lipsticks provided at no charge cannot be returned or exchanged. See Store Locator.
- Pick up my favorite $16 MAC lipstick for FREE! All you have to do is. Save your empty MAC containers. Once you get 6 containers (any kind of MAC product, it doesn't matter), then turn them in for a free lipstick! Just take your empty containers into a MAC makeup counter (at Nordstrom stores), hand them over, and tell them what lipstick.
One thing I love and appreciate from MAC Cosmetics is the fact that they share a mutual commitment to the environment. By returning 6 empty primary containers of your old makeup to a MAC counter in a department store or at an actual MAC store you receive a free lipstick (department stores - lipstick only) lipgloss or single. Macy's discount doesn't include cosmetics. Go to a MAC store for best selection. Re: cheap mac make up advice please. NYC popular makeup spot is Sephora but if shopping for makeup in NYC, also check out a Duane Reade, like large one at Times Square. GOSH makeup there comparable to MAC.
Mac Cosmetics Return Empties
It’s not a new program, as Allure points out, but it’s one that’s popping up on Reddit and Instagram as of late, which might mean people are taking advantage of the program more than ever. To enroll, all you have to do is join the MAC rewards program. It’s free to join and easy to reap the benefits. Sort of like Sephora Insider, MAC’s reward program has three tiers depending on how much you spend in the store: Lover, Devoted and Obsessed. Most importantly, each level includes the Back-to-M·A·C program, so no matter how much dough you drop, you can get a freebie.
When you finish a MAC product, make sure you hold onto the component it comes in. Return six empty containers and you’ll receive your complimentary product, either a Lipstick, Lipglass or Single Eye Shadow worth up to $17. Pretty cool, right?
