How old is your OLDEST M.A.C makeup in your collection

My Mascara X..I bought it in September when I first started buying MAC. I have only been a MAC addict for a few months. I was the first Mascara I ever used that didn't clump.

i have a bark eyeshadow from around 1997, and a savory lipstick from around 1998 and it doesnt even stink, though i dont ever use it anymore. i think with lipstick it just depends because i have had some for less than a year and they already smell bad. i have melody eyeshadow, ooh CCB, and frankly scarlet blush from around 2000 and they are all fine though sometimes with powder products they begin to develop a sort of hard film from not being used. i think you just have to go on a case by case basis and if the product smells funky or isnt of the same quality as you remember it, toss it out. I think mascara is one thing you shouldnt keep for a long time and second to that would be lipglass simply because of the moisture in it and the potential to build up bacteria.

6 or 7 months. I'm a MAC newbie!

i didn't buy it when it first came out, but it's the oldest anyway - brush set from snowgirl 2002.

Media lipstick Circa the 1990s...gotta be 10 years old. I don't use it

but I cannot bring myself to BTM it since it's the old style MAC lip container (flat top) and it's a collectible now. It doesn't smell bad but I still wouldn't put it on my lip though

I have a few eyeshadows that are 1.5 years old. It's ok to use old eyeshadows right?

eye shadows (powder products) are usually good for 2 years.. well, thats what i've heard. i know people def. use them for longer however.

oldest item I have in posession is pussy willow lipstick.
I don't remember when I got it (I know it's been several years), so I had to do a search and it was out in Dec 2002. I had couple of lipsticks prior to that but tossed them out (doh!). I haven't used it in a long time, but it doesn't smell bad. now I'm wondering if I should use it, lol

 

[lilifee]

As an addicted MAC fan, my oldest stuff is from around 92/93 some lipliners, powders, one pigment and i still got some lipstick in the old packaging-not using it anymore.
At that time i bought my stuff in London as in Germany there was no MAC available.

 

[bunkerkitten]

My oldest MAC. . .
Blueberry Fizz lipstick, (which smells fine and I put on once and a while to freak out my boyfriend) Chroma Purple Python nail laquer and a 266 that I've had for like, 10 years. *shudder*

 

[laura-doll]

my oldest
is....
phloof! eyeshadow
2 yrs
still goin strong lol

 

[blueyedlady87]

My oldest is Steamy e/s and it's still going strong at 6 years old. I have this great custom eyeshadow my mom got in 1987 and I still use it w/ no problems, hehe. Lipgloss IMO is the only thing I wouldn't use after a couple years since I have a sensitive nose and it tends to smell sort of funny, like musk/plastic, lol. Eyeshadow I'll always use.

My oldest MAC is Quarry eyeshadow in the screwtop pot- I got it about 11 years ago. Gee I'm gettin' old.

 

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

I have some old MAC eyeshadows (my first couple) from highschool, so they are maybe 5 or 6 years old. I don't plan to toss them anytime soon. (I wouldn't use a lip product that old though)
