Exactly the number in the jar means how months is good to used after it's opened.

If it has an expiration date I bet it's only for the SPF

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

mine didn't have that symbol.

it was printed in numbers, like "exp. date Oct 2010" or something like that. I'm sorry, I would take a pic if I still had it but its on its way to NJ to a fellow Specktra-ette, so maybe she could take a pic of it once she gets it?

I'm in Canada to answer the question of where I got it from. It was just printed in black ink on the bottom of the cream-coloured box.

Me too! Dangit

Also, I don't know about you guys, but the texture and slippery smootheness of the tendertones is uh-mazing! I can't stop reapplying and enjoying it. Love it love it love it.

I also bought Honey Bare which looks fabulous over the slimshine Missy that I B2M for today. Honey Bare is so so pretty because of the gold shimmer in it. Now I see why erine has so darn many of that color I loved them soooo much that I bought back ups of Sweet Tooth, Honey Bare & EZ Baby....geesh, I can't believe that I bought more ugghh Ooohh...I got to order the VAE with my backups when I got home YAY!!!

I've been planning on getting EZ Baby and Sweet Tooth so thanks for this!!! Now I'm excited!!!

Aw, you're welcome dear! EZ Baby is very light, but it is this beautiful milky light baby pink. It is so darn creamy & great.

From what I know all European countries have the small jar with the number in, I read somewhere that in the US they don't have it but again I'm not sure about the US

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

I looked my boxes all over & there is no exp. date that I can see.

maybe it's a canadian thing. i have that on mine as well, and two different kinds of labels too

and they are labelled on the bottom of the jars as well (don't know if you can see, the expiry date and batch number are printed on sweet tooth, but stamped on pucker)

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

Yep, I think it is a Canadian thing. I'm in the US and ordered Take a Hint and mine doesn't have dates in either place, as others mentioned. Turns out I am not getting nauseous from these like I did last year. I don't understand it, but....yay!

 

[elegant-one]

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

^^^Yep, it's gotta be a Canadian legal/rules thing...I checked all those places on my jars & boxes...nothin

I'm glad you cleared that up for some people but you misunderstood what I was saying. I do not think that the symbol dictates the potency of the SPF. I was saying that I am sure they expire at some point. They can't last forever. I also know that products with SPF usually have some sort of expiration to them because the SPF does loose effectiveness over time even if the quality or condition of the product itself is not directly effected.

I got a sample of Take A Hint to compare to Petting Pink. Petting Pink is more opaque in color, while Take A Hint is a shimmery light pink. On my pigmented lips, they have similar color payoff (very light and sheer), but Take a Hint is definitely more shimmery.

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

i thought i was going to be able to pass on these, until i saw the swatches. i'm actually pretty impressed by how glossy they look when applied. perfect for summer.

honey bare and ez baby will be MINE!
