Errrr they smell like fruit but they have no taste. Unless my tastebuds have gone out of whack.

The only difference I find in TTs and TLCs is that TTs are more glossy and have a fruity scent. Where as TLCs have color and have a creamy texture with a subtle vanilla scent.

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

Hey Erine, you had mentioned you didn't think there was an expiry date? (and I don't think its been addressed yet) I looked at mine I still have boxed from last year (as my counter didn't get their shipment today...grrr) the box has the expiry date. on the bottom. ie ____2010 or whatever it was. but not on the jar.


damn i only wanted one, now I think i may get two! Bimbos---need help! How can I justify two? One for @ work (already own one), one for my makeupbag...one for ??? lol

3rd that. I thought it must be on the box, too, 'cause I saw no expiration date on the jar and I looked closely with and without my contact lens.

I think these Tendertone colors are MUCH better than last collection's. I love Honey Bare and Pucker! Pucker is such a beautiful garnet red.

those circular arrows just mean that mac properly recycles. this should come in handy. its direct from mac's site. check out #7. and since the tendertones don't have that number, they don't expire. i'm sure they could go bad if you store them incorrectly or use dirty fingers/brushes in it, but they generally remain good.

These include:

PRODUCT IDENTITY: statement of what the product is.

NET CONTENTS: the amount of product in the package. The “

” following the volume declaration is a guarantee that the product has been filled in accordance with the average system of measures used in the European Union (EU).

PRODUCT INGREDIENTS: lists all ingredients used in the formula in descending order of concentration. This is especially important for those people who are seeking a specific ingredient or want to avoid one. In addition, our ingredient listing now includes the various components of a fragrance ingredient previously not listed and therefore may be longer. This is important information for that small percentage of the population who may be sensitive to certain components of fragrances.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: informs you of how, when and where to use the product.

NAME/LOCATION OF MANUFACTURER OR DISTRIBUTOR: informs you who made the product and where the manufacturer or distributor is located. The London address and Post Code is underlined to indicate the main contact office in the EU. Product inquiries can be sent to this address.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: the country that manufactures or produces the product.

: tells you the recommended number of months within which the product should be used after you have first opened and used it, provided the product has been stored under normal conditions and not exposed to extreme temperatures. For example (24M) means that you should replace this product within (24 months) after first opening. The “Period After Opening” number will vary based upon the type of cosmetic product.

: denotes that our Company contributes to European programs for the proper disposal and recycling of all packing components.

Other symbols and statements you might see on our label:

WARNINGS/CAUTIONS: informs you what to do and not do with the product.

: tells you to look elsewhere in the packaging for additional information, for example in a leaflet, card or tag.

actually that's not necessarily true. cosmetics companies are only required to put one of those "jar" thingies on the product if it expires within 30 months after openning, so it means tendertones won't expire in less than 30 months

Thanks for that. I knew they had to have some expiration date especially since they have SPF. I figured they had to expire at some point.

no, no, no. that doesn't have anything to do with spf. the definition of the symbol says that it wouldn't "harm" you within that period of time, but it may lose its effectiveness as a sun protection. the jar symbol is strictly for cosmetics, and sun protection is classified as drugs. there's a whole different set of regulations about that. that's why i think maybe some ppl have the expiry date on their tendertones because of the regulations in different countries. i know that in some countries mac is required to label date of production on the box, but we never see that in north america
