Shecky’s

With a slew of products building up in our beauty closet, it’s a tragic, yet rare day when we’ve actually come to the end of an eyeshadow, compact or a tube of primer. You may be asking yourself what to do with that empty lipstick case, but one thing we advise you not to do is toss away that piece of plastic! In return for your empty container, some companies actually recycle your old goods and even give you free loot!

Back to MAC Program

One of the best, if not the best, container exchange program is being promoted through MAC Cosmetics. Customers who have a total of six empty containers can turn them into any MAC store through the Back to MAC Program and receive a free lipstick or eyeshadow of their choosing (that’s a $15 value—all you have to do is recycle)! If this doesn’t encourage you to scour your beauty drawers in search of empty containers, we don’t know what will!
