I've purchased Blush Nude from the CCO in the past and as soon as I opened it it was bad. It's been on my wish list ever since. Now, I've committed to only buying and finishing any TF lipsticks I have. I can't believe they go bad so quickly.I tried on my Blush Nude yesterday & it's lost it's flavor/going bad I haven't had it that long either. I have ancient Mac lipsticks & they are still like brand new.
Whatever the issue is it appears to happen with only certain shades-----very disturbing!bad so quickly.
:agree:Well isn't that interesting! hboy: We're good & bad together :haha: I'm pretty sure I got mine from NM. I need to check.
It was a few months after but I buy from her regularly so that could make a difference.How long after purchase?
OMG---I have > 15 TF quads and thankfully havn't had this issue with any of them----in fact I don't recall ever having an E/S palette go bad/change like that with any brand that I use.It was a few months after but I buy from her regularly so that could make a difference.
I returned my orchid haze quad too, I don' know if it totally went bad but after about 6 months the shadows didn't apply like they did when I first bought it. The texture certainly had changed.
I love Gucci quads!
So you basically have a Bad Boy :haha:
Never had an eyeshadow go bad. And the Lavender Lust I purchased at a CCO was pristine. They open it for you to check before you buy it. I can't remember the last time they did that at a counter in a dept. store.I have never had any eyeshadow go bad. If purchased at an outlet store, the storage of it prior to being sold there, might not have been all that great. Also, It is urban legend that some of the products sold at outlet stores are so-called seconds or possible returns. Nope, have no actual proof of the urban legend.
So true. People have even gotten things through online purchases that were obviously used/touched. I think aNever had an eyeshadow go bad. And the Lavender Lust I purchased at a CCO was pristine.

bad so quickly.
Woo-hoo! Enjoy your trip home...When I was in college which was in BFI, there was an outlet mall. The P's would go there to purchase my towels and stuff. They worked, they dried off my cute little bottom. Or another is if the manufacturer that thought a certain color would sell like hot cakes, but was a dude, that ends up at the outlet mall. I have nothing against outlet malls. Heck, I love Goodwill stores provided they are located in a high end burb. Better donations and I got a St. John's jacket for 10.00 with the tags still on it. On a lighter note, I am outta here!!!!! Got a layover in the city boyfriend lives in. Gee, might miss the connecting flight to Chicago....aw shucks. I am tired of mud, sleeping in a wet tent, and living in the woods. Should be back in the real world by tonight!!!!
I saw a lady at Nordstrom put a lipstick I returned back in the stock and I told her no, I HAVE used it although it looks new. I a lot of returns do go back in the stock pile and I was glad I saw her do that. Now I make sure they but the damage sticker on there before I leave to be sure they do not put it back with the stock.So true. People have even gotten things through online purchases that were obviously used/touched. I think a
reputable seller---------and as I understand it these CCOs are, but I would think anyone could get into legal trouble
trying to pass off used items as new.
If the lipstick is broken I don't see why they wouldn't take it back or at the very least exchange it or get store credit. However if it's been used it's probably going to depend on the SA, they might take it back or they may not. It probably would be helpful if you say you don't mind exchanging or getting store credit.Does anyone know what is Neiman Marcus' return policy if the lipstick had been used? I have not returned any lipsticks in my lifetime (except one that came broken and smeared) but I bought a lot of TF lippies recently and would hate to hold onto one if it came broken or if the color looks terrible on me.
That is very scary. I can't think of much worse than buying a lipstick that is used!! Well, maybe mascara.I saw a lady at Nordstrom put a lipstick I returned back in the stock and I told her no, I HAVE used it although it looks new.

TF quads don't work well for me for some reason, so I just don't bother with them. Another person mentioned the quads being weird with them as well on another beauty site, so it doesn't appear to be a big thing. I'd say just check your items before applying them especially if its been awhile since you've used it.
