Tom Ford Holly & Benedetta Lips & Girls Lip Colors Reviews & Swatches
Holly
Tom Ford Beauty Holly Lips & Girls Soft Shine Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a darker peach with warmer, more orange-leaning undertones paired with a natural sheen. It seemed like there was very fine, nearly imperceptible pearl throughout, which gave it a more pronounced luminosity but didn’t leave it looking like a shimmery lip color.
The texture was lightly creamy, lightweight, and smooth with enough slip to apply without dragging but not enough that it didn’t adhere well for decent wear. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which went on evenly and just barely sank into my lip lines (noticeable only in the close-up photo as I didn’t notice it in person). This shade stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.07 oz. - $514.29 Per Ounce
The newest Girls launched with a "Soft Shine" finish but are under the Lip Color umbrella, though it's unclear exactly what is to be expected based on the finish. Given that Tom Ford already has a sheer finish, it seems more likely to be a shinier version of the cream finish, and based on the shades I've seen, means a bit of shimmer/luminosity, too. (If and when I see official information about the finish, I'll be sure to update the overview and ratings accordingly, if necessary.)
The formula seemed to have semi-opaque to opaque coverage, and the shades that fell under opaque coverage seemed to have a subtle translucency to them that yielded a luminous finish--lighter weight, shiny with light glossiness, and gave the illusion of fuller lips for me. The consistency was lightweight, emollient without being overly slippery, and comfortable to apply and to wear. They had decent wear ranging between three and five hours and felt lightly to moderately moisturizing while worn. They were vanilla-scented but had no discernible taste.

Benedetta
Tom Ford Beauty Benedetta Lips & Girls Soft Shine Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium, true coral with moderate, warm undertones and a glossier, cream finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single stroke, which was easily built up to full coverage with half of a layer more.
The lipstick had a creamy consistency that wasn’t too thin or too thick, so it glided easily across my lips but didn’t feel slippery when worn. The formula felt lightly hydrating over the four and a half hours it lasted for, but there was some product that sank into my lip lines, which was more noticeable after the shine wore down.

I’m in love with Benedetta! Such a perfect soft, everyday friendly coral. On me, I’m pretty sure it will translate as a muted coral nude. But, I would love that so much more than my nearly neon peach Vegas Volt!
Both are colors I wouldn’t have chosen but after seeing them swatched, I love both!
Benedetta is a beautiful shade.
I love Benedetta! This looks to be unique to my collection. More orange coral than peach.
