This is a pass for me on several levels. I hate glitter/sparkles/metallics on my lips, it’s way over the amount I allow myself to spend on lipstick, and I don’t buy Tom Ford products. That said, at least the packaging looks pretty.
Curious to see how these will look on the lips. Arm swatches don’t really do much for me with a lipstick. They sound interesting and perhaps fun for a night out – but on these promo photos I’m really not seeing that intense sparkle.
These are so beautiful, but at $73 CAD I just can’t justify them.
I spot a few very pretty looking shades. Hard to tell with just arm swatches, though. Synthetica, Commando and Starstruck are the 3 that interest me most. Might go for one during the spring Sephora Rouge sale depending on how well they do when reviewed and seen properly lip swatched.
Points for coming out with some new colors/textures since TF has seemed very complacent lately for such a high-end brand, even though “the look of loose glitter on the lips” is very much not for me.
Yeah, I am not sure about these. If it is actual glitter then that is a definite pass for me. The colours are lovely but the price is crazy for what may turn out to be essentially a gloss. Why would your promo pics be arm swatches? Doesn’t make sense to me. I will wait and see but likely a pass.
I love metallic lipstics – so I will be interested in these. I wouldn’t purchase any of Tom Ford’s lipsticks as they are too expensive for me, but I will be interested in the dupes….thank God for the dupe list!
Lol at those fake post-production swatches. The shading on the red lipstick on the darkest skinned model does not accurately follow her arm shape. The swatches on the pale girl also have strange lighting. I wonder which, if any, of the swatches were actually captured by a photographer. If they’re going to fake it between two promo images, they should use two different base photos (with different poses) to not make it so obvious.
I believe they are shades that makeup lovers already have in their collections, plus a shimmery lip topper like Dior Diorific Gold 065 for example.
I actually like super shimmery lips, not every day perhaps, but quite often.
I bought one of the older ones on sale, it’s purple and I love it.
I think I’m going to like a few of these, to my horror the one I like the most of the ones on the promo photo is described as Barbie pink metallic, not a colour I’d want to try if I’d only read the description 😀
Destroy and Risk sounds like my kind of lipsticks.
I hope Christine will review these.
