Lipstick smell

[mskitchmas]

What does rancid lipstick smell like?

I have a few palettes, that are kind of old, a Tailormade from 2005, Gem from 2004 and Printout from 2004.

None of them smell very vanilla-ey to me, and the Prinout one smells different, kinda funny.

I hate to throw them out.

Anyone have any insight?

well mine usually get a crayon like smell...and u would know..it would be a strong scent...sometimes the lipsticks just dont have a smell or have a lipsticky smell. but when they go bad its a strong smell..that u can even taste....well i feel i can..lol. anyways. i have still used some like that cause i cant bear to chuck it. oh but definitely dont throw it out..Back to mac those puppies!

oh my god you know what the worst smelling lipstick in the whole world is? Estee Lauder! I CANNOT stand the smell of their lipsticks and lipglosses, and I get really good discount off all of their products but I never wear them cos I just can't stand that stench! I can even smell it on other people if they wear it!
