My lipglasses have all been doing OK, the newer ones and the older ones. One thing I am SUPER careful about is I either try not to use the applicator (just dab from the applicator onto a lip brush), or if I have to use the applicator directly on my lips, I immediately clean it off until it's perfectly clean again. I've found this is extra-important if I have lipstick on already. I used to clean them with tissues, but I've noticed that tissues don't work as well with my newer ones (I think the formula interacts with them and makes them crumble into the applicator), so now I prefer something less fragile, like a makeup wipe.
The only product that ever went off was my Flaunting It Kissable Lip Colour, but I think that was the formula itself, not the tube getting tainted. It started doing crazy stuff like making my lips sting.
Honestly, I think MAC glosses are better than they ever were, as far as staying power, comfortableness on the lips and not settling into the lip lines or feathering. Bijou, Peachstock, the Pedro Laurenço ones, the ones from Novel Romance and Artificially Wild, etc. etc. all are gorgeous and very flattering!

Temptalia hasn't been that color accurate for a number of collections - her lighting is just too strong or something. I have a sneaking feeling that these lipsticks aren't going to look as similar in real life than in photos, but I haven't had a chance to see the collection yet. Hopefully next week! I'm going to have to be firm with myself and only get the one red that looks the absolute best of the bunch on me, because I honestly have too many reds to justify already, haha.

I need to stick to my original plan of 2 blushes and 2 lipsticks. I don't need another Azalea Blossom, and I'm pretty sure I have dupes of Barbecue, Opera, and Tenor Voice. I'll get Sin later in regular packaging. So... just Ripe Peach, Kindergarten Red, Oxblood, and Victoriana for me.

I'm actually considering skipping Ripe Peach
I didn't buy it when it first came out, mostly because back then I was still a little iffy about coral blush on my skin tone. I bought AB instead and have used it a TON. It's an excellent pastel pink blush with a twist. Then I bought Ocean City and between that and some others like Modern Mandarin, Immortal Flower, etc. I'm not sure if Ripe Peach will be different enough to justify. I am for sure going to be bringing a bunch of blushes to compare when I see the collection. I do like the packaging, I'll have to say, so I am 95% sure I'll break down and get Kindergarten Red (even though I have a feeling it's going to be very close to Corol).
Right now, I'm really the most curious about those crazy mascaras. 'Hoping the lime will show up well!

I think my list is the same as yours but swap out Ripe Peach(since I have the Proenza one) for Azalea Blossom but I'm not sure yet

I'm looking at T's dupe and potential dupe list and it looks like I own at least one dupe for every one of these. I'd like to try Oxblood, but it's either going to be a perfect nude or a total disaster and I don't know if I want to gamble. I *might* pick up Victoriana just because I wanted a BU of Damn Glamorous and never got around to grabbing it.

FT doesn't look all that awesome on me too Glammy unless I manipulate the shade with a deeper liner! I know it's a pretty shade but washes me out!! I am gonna guess Oxblood is going to have the same effect on me!

a lot of mine have gone rancid. I'll be holding off buying them for awhile. I wonder what changed. Maybe I should compare ingredients of old and new boxes.

Even mine from (oh gosh, the one with Impassioned LG and etc) were bad.
