So far, all of the lipsticks I have ever had from MAC have had a vanilla(ish) scent to them. I just received my first slimshine in a swap and it has a bad small to it. Is this normal or did I get a bad lipstick?

Yes it does smell like crayons but a bit stronger.

Thanks for your input. Do you think that it is fair to ask for a swap reverse?

Personally I think they do smell a little funny. I've assumed it's SPF?

No crayon smell in my Bare or Pleasing. I don't believe these have spf in them, so that can't account for the smell. If you really can't stand it, ask for a swap reverse. That should be checked on before sending (assuming it didn't happen during delivery, which might be a stretch!).

Mine smell okay but its the taste that really irks me. My pink d'lush doesn't sit well with me.

i wouldnt ask for a reverse swap, id contact mac as though you bought it from them (perhaps the swapper didn't know it was bad) and ask for a replacement.
you swapped with the swapper, it's your product now and it should be easy enough to get a new one.
my 2 cents!

My lipglass that went bad smells like crayons. It might be bad.

I don't know about asking for a reverse swap. It's not that persons fault. They have a funky smell to them I have returned them twice to my local MAC store and they still stink. I think its just the formula but I can't stand it. No more slimshines for me.

a reverse swap is only fair. the original owner should make sure that stuff they are swapping isn't rancid, and the new owner shouldn't be stuck with something bad. and lying to mac saying that they bought it straight from them just to get a new one is totally dishonest and one of the reasons prices go up each year-dishonesty of customers.
if you've got something that's bad, by all means you should be able to exchange it (depending on how old it is and when you got it), but if you didn't buy it directly from the company, don't lie about it just to fix the situation. either reverse swap or just forget about it. those are really the only two options.
