How long do lipsticks last?

Do they always smell once they go bad?How long do lipsticks last?
they don't always smell bad when they go bad. Sometimes the stick ';sweats'; or the texture changes. Either way, you should toss it after 18 mos.How long do lipsticks last?
depends on how you use it. If you use it regulaly, 2-4 times a week, about 8-12 months





if you never used it once, 1yr, 6 month





if you always use it, 4 months





if you use it a little bit, 4 times a month, then toss it after 6-8 months





if it goes bad, always through it out though





hope this helps
They will usually smell or change texture when they go bad. I did a posting about it http://www.prettybycritty.com/posts/19 lipsticks should be ok for up to 2 years, depending if they have been in heat or cold.
They don;t always smell if it's gone bad, give them the toss after about a year. If it's the glossy kinda rid them a bit earlier.
if u hav had it mor than a yr, throw it away. also if u notice the color changes, if it smell bads, or if lik there are water beads on it, throw it away.
