If they are really unopened, which means you have not opened them to look at the color - even not for a second ;-) - I would say they last at least two years, possibly even longer, especially if you store them in the fridge.

If you opened them, I would toss them (B2M) after 6 months as the product will slowly begin to oxidize and you foster free radicals on your skin (= deep, unattractive wrinkles over time). I don't even want to go into what kind of bacteria will grow in p/p if you keep them much longer. And yes, this also applies when the product has not changed color or smell. If that happens, then it's waaaaaay over due.

Now, that's just my opinion, and each person has different standards.

I was waiting to see if my Mattene order would be missing any items due to a back order before I sent this, but everything came. I ordered off of the site as we thought that we would be out of state when this launched at the stores. Could the items be backordered because of the multiple parties? I've never been to one, but I'd imagine that they create quite a drain on normal distribution.

Sorry about that, I was replying to concerns about the availability of Mattenes. Don't know why I can't get Specktra to work correctly on the smart phone. It's probably an old dog new tricks-type thing!

To anyone going to the Fall event... this is my first time at one of these. Do you get a chance to buy even if the coll (in this case, fall color) hasnt come out yet?

Cant believe some are already sold out! I def think they will restock though.

I wore it to a party over the weekend, so I can answer this. It looks like nothing but reflects when you swatch it. Quite a few are bronzey, but there are also some larger multi-colored ones that pick up light nicely and sparkle. In between these, the actual color of the p/p appears to be clear. I just swatched it again to be sure. I wonder if you just took a sparkly pigment and mixed it with a CCB if you'd get the same effect. Do you remember the lipstick from Fashion Flower that was teal in color, but really was just sparkles? Genuine Treasure is like that, but more so. This would be a nice addition to a p/p that needs more glitter; Hyperviolet looked pretty under Genuine Treasure last weekend, for example. HTH!

Aw man. I'm trying to hold out for the fall collection (I'm so excited to get Show Orchid in my hands!) but I couldn't resist and picked up some mattenes and my very first paint pots :)

I got...
Pure Creation and Treasure Hunt p/p
Naked Bliss, Rare Exotic, Unknown Pleasures, Deliciously Forbidden, and Legendary mattenes :)

I was kinda/sorta interested in Eden Rouge, but I think that would be too orange-ish. I'm not sure what my skin shade is per-se (haven't traveled that far down the road at a MAC counter), but I'm on the fair-skinned Casper white end of the skin tone spectrum lol, with peachy-pink naturally tinted lips. Sometimes orange-y shades can look too harsh on me.

The UPS tracking number I got in my shipping info email isn't working... when I try to check it, all I get is 'UPS cannot find information for this number'... thinking of giving CS a ring in the morning. Ugh, mailing issues give me the worst kind of anxiety.

I'm thinking that Hocus Pocus and Genuine Treasure are going to be a match made in smokey gold heaven, anyone tried it yet?

Can any pale peeps (n15-20) who have purchased Naked Bliss post some swatches if they get a chance??? I am curious about how much pigment vs white base this mattene has....(for some reason I can't wear lippies that have too much white opacity like Ever Hip, Snob and Lavender Whip). I want to order this color but have the fear......
