I have a lipglass that has sort of gone like that. Still useable in my opinion but I think I've grown immune to the Vanilla scent now...

It doesn't have that vanilla taste/smell but it isn't really plastic or bad smelling or taste either. Kinda just nothing... hmmm My Lip Varnish have that plastic smell/taste though & they separated in the tube. |

Excellent product in theory, still needs some R&D in reality.
If these were reworked in order to stabilise them some more and relaunched, they'd go off like a rocket.

A similar thing happened to me with a Rags to Riches Dazzleglass, except is has a horibble smell of onions. I bought it at a freestanding store while on vacation, and didn't open it until I got home. Unfortunately they were already sold out at my local Macy's counter, so I couldn't exchange it. I emailed customer service and they said they would send me a refund as well as packaging to send the Dazzleglass back to them so that their lab could test it to see what was wrong with it. I sent them my address almost a month ago, and still nothing in the mail. I also followed-up with another email. I'm thinking that I should try calling that 800 number. I'm just disappointed because I loved that shade, and I expected more from their customer service department.
I notice that thats happening more often now. I have lipglasses that are 5 years old no probs with smell, but I've had ones go bad in 6 months now. Not paying attention to quality as much I dont know. My first bad one was Magic Spell, loved that color. I had a spare new never opened back up in my fridge(so temp wouldn't affect it) it was bad too. I emailed mac online they sent me an e/s and I had to return the magic spell to them in a package they sent me. They tried saying "that happens when its in contact with heat" I told her it was unopened in the fridge and she ignored me and said heat affects it again. Whatever. They just seem to be going bad sooner now, more than they used to.

I completely agree! I've had some that were 5 years old and the smell had barely changed. I've had others that I bought more recently (like within the last year), and they already smell off. Some are from brand new collections though, so I just don't understand it.

Both of my Illicits (from Smoke Signals) have gone bad, I discovered yesterday.
I guess they would be a year old next month. Is it unreasonable for me to expect them to still be okay?

I have Illicit and Soft & Slow from whatever collection they came out with together, and they both smell off (so does my Bare Truth). I guess I should just B2M them, but it pisses me off that I'm out of 3 basically new lipglasses. I've got some that are several years old that are perfectly fine, and these seemed off after a very short amount of time.

Same here, I have much older ones that are fine, that's why I'm upset about Illicit. It seems the ones I really like alot go off the fastest - Raquel, 2N and now Illicit.

Oh great.
I wonder if there's a certain pigment or ingredient that goes into some and not others that there's a problem with?

Man, that's crazy! I hope this isn't going to become a new trend. Lipglass is my fave, but I don't want something that doesn't smell right from Day 1. It's not like they're that expensive, but I want my money's worth. Sounds like this is a problem MAC really needs to address.
