Tom Ford Soleil Collection (Summer 2019) Swatches
Here’s a sneak peek of this summer’s Tom Ford Soleil Collection, which features four Lip Color Sheers (and if the names look familiar, they should; they’ve been used in different formulas before but the colors aren’t really comparable), four Lip Gelees (new formula), three liquid eyeshadows, two bronzers (new, actually; same names as other bronzing formulas), and blush duo. There’s also a pH 24K gold-suspended lip tint (not shown).
Other than the Lissome cheek duo and the Lip Color Sheers, it’s looking fairly ‘meh’ to me. I loved Otranto the last go round, so just maybe…??
I never been a big fan of Tom Ford and I do love a good sheer lipstick but those lip gelees with the colour core look like the ultimate in ridiculous consumerism – pay high end prices to look like you’re wearing nothing. Choose from 4 shades that all look exactly the same on. Ugh, I’m in a mood, obviously.
Aphrodite looks lovely and the powder products also look decent but I just can’t with this brand.
I think you have hit the nail on the head CeeBee.
I agree about the lip gelees.
This is an easy peasy pass. It looks like previous collections and I’m not seeing standout special pieces with the label anymore. Those lip gelees better be massively hydrating.. ugh.
I think this is a fairly ordinary kind of collection from Tom Ford – the lip geles look very average and whilst the lipsticks are nice – they are expensive nice. The runaround with the names is unappealing too.
I think Tom Ford will have to do a lot better before he can impress us!
I agree. That cheek duo looks like so many he’s released in the past (or maybe it’s other companies that have done these and TF’s look similar). His prices are just ridiculous and it’s sort of insulting, especially weighed up against the lackluster quality of so much he’s released lately.
I always like to pick up the cream blush (paradise, pink sand) in Tom Ford’s previous summer collections, and it is missing here. Everything else is repetitive and boring. Even new eye products…cream, liners…are boring. Clear lipstick with gold flecks? Emperor’s new clothes.
Yikes!
In Canada, $138 for Terra, versus a 90% dupe with the same score that is $117 less (Sephora Los Cabos).
I know where my money is going.
You might be looking at the price for the larger size – the bronzer comes in two sizes!
You’re right, thanks!
I’ve owned Los Cabos for years (got it in a Sephora face trio) – it is a lovely product, especially for fairer skin, and I say that as someone who is generally not a big fan of bronzers! The smaller compact of Terra is $88 in Canada; the larger one is $138, just as you said. Either way, way too pricey IMO.
You’re right, Mariella, buy yes, still a huge difference in price!
