Thank heaven for Back 2 MAC!

I've been buying MAC makeup for what it seems to be forever now...well close to 10 years or so. I have strayed from it here and there but they do make amazing products! My favorite thing about MAC...(well one of my favorites) is the Back 2 MAC program. If you're not familiar with Back 2 MAC...its a recycling program. Basically if you bring 6 empty containers (anything plastic, metal, empty shadow palettes, empty lipstick tubes) to a MAC store you can choose from a new eye shadow, lipstick (some excluded) or lipglass lipgloss free. If you bring 6 containers to a MAC counter in any big department store you can get a lipstick only.

They have sooooo many different eyeshadows and lipstick to choose from it could take forever. The lipglass selection is less thrilling but if lipgloss is your thing, you'll love them.

I spent a good 20 minutes looking at lipsticks and eyeshadows. Since I brought in 12 empty containers I could get 2 products. I found an awesome lipstick which they didn't have...and then another lipstick which was similar to the first, and they didn't have it either :( I was sad. Luckily I found a 3rd replacement lipstick. It's called Dare You (Cremesheen). Here is a picture :D

It is a really pretty red/wine color with some sheen.

Here is a picture of it on.        
(Love the Ooooo face haha!)


Now for the other item...I was going to get Carbon (matte black) again since mine broke awhile ago, but went in another direction. For me...finding an eyeshadow that I don't have is hard because I have soooooo many MAC shadows. I chose BRUN (matte brown) for 2 reasons...1) I love matte colors, especially for smokey looks, and 2) I actually didn't have it. Here is a pic of it, although it doesn't do the color justice. It is actually a little bit darker than the color shown. I don't have any pics of me with it on but its just a matter of time until I do haha!

So if you are a user of MAC products...DON'T THROW THE EMPTY PACKAGES AWAY!!! Save them...then take them to the closest MAC store or counter and trade them in for something free! Who doesn't love free?

Here's to the weekend and playing dress up...to recycling and free makeup!

So be bright, be bold...glow like NEON!
