Tom Ford Imari & Bella Boys & Girls Ultra-Rich Lip Colors Reviews & Swatches
Imari
Tom Ford Beauty Imari Boys & Girls Ultra-Rich Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, medium fuchsia pink with cool, bluish undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had good pigmentation that applied fairly evenly across my lips, but there was faint streaking along the outer area of my lips (just barely visible in the close-up photos and harder to see in person). The lipstick had a creamy, emollient consistency that helped it skate across my lips, but it was thinner and adhered comfortably to my lips without sliding around while I wore it. This shade stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and left a fain stain behind, while the formula was moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.07 oz. - $514.29 Per Ounce
The Ultra-Rich Lip Color formula is supposed to have "full-coverage" and "high-shine" that "moisturizers lips instantly." The majority of the range had semi-opaque coverage with a few being sheerer and some with more full coverage. The finish was more luminous--shiny but not glossy or heavy--which meant they had moderate slip, so they tended to wear around four hours on me. There were some of the deeper shades (like reds) that lasted longer and left subtle stains behind. I found the formula to be lightly to moderately hydrating over time. They are vanilla scented but have no discernible taste.

Bella
Tom Ford Beauty Bella Boys & Girls Ultra-Rich Lip Color ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a rich, pinky-red with subtle, cool undertones and a natural sheen. It had good color coverage that applied evenly across my lips and didn’t settle into my lip lines, but it wasn’t quite full coverage. The consistency was emollient with good glide, which made it comfortable to apply and to wear, but it didn’t slide around when worn. It wore well for five hours and was hydrating over time.

I am loving the juicy popsicle stained color of Bella! That is simply gorgeous looking. Bella may well become my 3rd TF lipstick!
These are both amazing, especially Bella!
The colors and finish are absolutely stunning!
