Back 2 MAC, Back 2 Reality


Ever wonder where lipsticks go when they die? Growing up, we had a makeup graveyard in the bathroom vanity. That's where all hot pink matte lipsticks went to live out their years after many impulse purchases at the Clinique counter (but Mom, the Gift with Purchase comes with two full-sized lipsticks!!!) and my black nailpolish from high school sat waiting to come back to style (miracles never cease).

Well, there may be a makeup heaven afterall--at least for some brands. The makeup renegades at MAC will take your used, empty and unwanted MAC makeup containers (read: hot pink matte lipstick) and in exchange give you a brand-new lipstick (read: not Gift with Purchase). The old cartridges and compacts reincarnate as playground material. Not a bad way to go; not a bad way to come back.

MAC's so ahead of their time in makeup and green-awareness; they've been doing this for years.
