Is a funky smelling gloss still safe to use?

I wonder too. I bought a Raquel and it smelled off so I exchanged it. The next one was like that too.

Azia, another stellar avatar, btw.

No kidding. There is no escaping that smell of bad gloss. Bleeaaahhh!

Personally id just keep it and use it, but that is just me. I don't think it does any harm to you.

another one that was like that was fashion pack.

i couldn't even use it more than once. it went bye bye right along with 2N.

I feel sorry for the people who had lipglosses that have that horrible smell. I had to smell all of my lipglosses to see if they don't have that awful smell so that I can still use them.

I have had this problem with a lot of lipglasses and plushglasses I bought from the CCO

But I don't think mine were as far gone as your 2N... the smell wasn't really "rancid" but just a little weird. It hasn't bothered me to the point where I will B2M them yet (knock on wood!)

Does anyone know if there's a time limit on how long certain l/s and l/g stay at the CCO? Sometimes it seems like they have them from like 06! I guess as long as they haven't been opened before for air to get in them they are ok?

Sorry that happened to you- hopefully MAC will realize this is a problem with certain formulas and improve it so it doesn't happen in the future

Personally I wont use it if the smells change.

I'd take it back for a refund and say how disappointed you were. Depending on the product this symbol will tell you how many months it should last:

The slimshines over all seem to have a weird smell. I don't believe its because they are bad though. I just believe that an ingredient in them has a stronger scent. Someone can chime in on this, but I know my slimshines smell quite strong from the day I open them. You should be fine with these, I think its just the way they are made

Lifes too short to wear bad smelling lip goo! I'm sticking to the vanilla scented stuff! x

I agree. I'm very sensitive to smell and I don't really like the Slimshines for this reason, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the ones I've had....or that they'd bother 99% of the population!

My Pucker tendertone changed color but still smells the same. Should I be worried?
