Pretty Persuasive
Tom Ford Beauty Pretty Persuasive Lip Color ($54.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium pink with soft, warm undertones and a cream finish. The color payoff was nearly opaque, while the texture was moderately creamy with light slip. It applied evenly across the lips without streaking, but there was just the smallest amount of color that seemed to sit in my deeper lip lines. I didn’t find that noticeable in person, though, just in the close-up photos. This shade wore well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview
$57.00/0.1 oz. - $570.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed have an "ultra-creamy texture" with "smooth application" that will deliver "pure color." The lipstick tends to have semi-opaque to opaque coverage with a natural to luminous finish with some shades with very fine pearl and others with more metallic shimmer. The consistency is typically creamy, lightweight, and has moderate slip, which makes it comfortable to wear and to apply but is not the most long-lasting lipstick formula. The wear tends to range between four and six hours with some shades performing above and below that range. There's a vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Sugar Glider
Tom Ford Beauty Sugar Glider Lip Color ($54.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly across the lips. The consistency was moderately emollient and felt more gel-like than creamy, and the lipstick itself seemed thinner and clung more than other shades (though it did not feel clingy or drying!). On me, the color lasted for four hours and was lightly moisturizing.

Sweet Tempest
Tom Ford Beauty Sweet Tempest Lip Color ($54.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, coral-red with warmer undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage in a single layer. The lipstick was lightly creamy with moderate slip, which made for an easy, glide-on application and a more noticeable shininess in the finish. The coverage could have been better, but the finish of this seemed to smooth out my lip lines a bit. It wore well for four and a half hours and was hydrating over time.

Sugar glider? Unless it has some urban dictionary meaning that I don’t even want to know, it’s a cute little guy in the possum family that pollinates and through convergent evolution, moves like a flying squirrel. The names are now getting so tangential that they obscure my focus on the product. You know, remembering the ad, but not the product? Same idea. I guess this sugar glider is cute, too. Not as cute as the adorable li’l mammal.
I agree with you, KJH; real sugar gliders are one of the cutest creatures ever! Also, if the *name* of the lipstick hadn’t been so adorable, would I perhaps have caught that it looks similar to Mmmmmm? Hmm…
I definitely thought Sugar Glider was going to be much more pigmented and opaque!
Sweet Tempest looks great on you!
Oh no! MAC Mmmmmm is a dupe for Sugar Glider! I definitely had my eye on that one, as I love real-life Sugar Glider’s and the shade itself spoke to my heart. It is the perfect everyday lip shade for me, even though I hardly ever wear any of mine 2 or 3 consecutive days.
Sweet Tempest is another true beauty, too!
I thought Sugar Glider would be much darker. It’s really pretty, though. I like all three of these a lot. Sweet Tempest is absolutely gorgeous.
Sugar Glider was a surprise in a good way, the bullet is so much darker. It looks great with your eye/cheek look. Sweet Tempest looks gorgeous on you!
