i'm just curious but how old are your oldest mac make up in your collection and whether do u girls still use them or not..

i'm using your responses as a guideline to see how long i can keep my mac for...i don't want to throw them away after 2 or 3 years only....Thanks in advance for the responses.
 
My oldest MAC is a Studio Finish concealer. I've had it (and still using it) for a year and a half. It's still working as good as it was new.

Is this too old already though?

I have three items that are OOOOOLLLLLD...Rosewood lipliner (it's down to a stub), Fresco lipstick in the old packaging ( non-bullet)...it still smells usable and Quarry eyeshadow (I use it only for Halloween). I bought these at Henri Bendel in NYC in 1992...

Spice lip pencil, Bisque e/s in the old large container, Paramount lipstick in a non-bullet, probably 1999-2000.

i was just asking on the Traincase forum yesterday what i could do with 2 blushes and a sheer shimmer powder from the xmas 1999 face palette - everything else has been de-potted or used up or sold.

i also got rid of the rest of a VG2 lippie in the old container yesterday, along with emptying out the tube of Silly lipglass stain (*sob* - i LOVED that colour), because they both smelled AWFUL.

i now have 8 empties and can get at least one Raquel lippie next week!

the oldest stuff i have is only from dec 2002. if it still smells ok, then it should be fine. with powder products, i think u actually have a little bit more time to play with as well, as long as u wipe the first layer down

The oldest item I have is my Black Tied e/s. I love it and use it all the time, you just use so little of it that it sticks around forever. I've had it now for probably 4 years.

Since I'm still a 'newbie' when it comes to MAC (I've only been into MAC for about year) so my oldest product is only a year old as well: Dewy Jube lipgelee. I love it and it still works great and smells the same way it did the day I bought it

I still have the first thing I ever bought from MAC...and that was in...2000? I can't even remember hahaha...It's black tied e/s, now totally in pigment form because I dropped it, it's in a little sifter thing now. After I smashed it I went out and grabbed one for my pallete. It's a staple for me, I'm a smokey eyed kinda girl

my oldest is Icon lipstick I bought in '97 almost 10 years ago. It wasn't in the now "bullet case". and it has a distinct smell - its not good or bad its just nostalgic.

I had a grid lipstick in the silver packaging right up until a few years ago when I finally tossed it. It was still completely fine and smelled like it should. I bought it way way back around 1997. I also have a nylon eyeshadow from that era in the screw top pot. It looks and smells fine too. I think you are probably safer with shadows or powders because they don't harbour bacteria the way liquids do.

My oldest item is Satin Taupe eye shadow. I got it back when I was still in high school I think. Maybe in 1998 or 1999. My second oldest thing would probably be Zazoom Lipglass, which is still a current fav, and I use it often. It's almost used up though, but I have a backup.
