Iris Bronze
Tom Ford Beauty Iris Bronze Eye & Lip Set ($87.00 for 0.35 oz.) contains an exclusive eyeshadow quad (warm-toned neutrals) and two deluxe-sized lipsticks (both exist in the permanent range). The set is sold out online but may still be available in-stores. A normal eyeshadow quad runs $88.00 for 0.35 oz., and the quad included in the set contains 0.29 oz. (but seemed about the same in physical size), while each deluxe-sized lipstick contains 0.03 oz. of product. With that in mind, the set contains $72.91 worth of eyeshadow and $16.50 worth of lipstick for a total value of $89.41.

Casablanca
Casablanca is a deep pink with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had rich color coverage with a smooth, creamy texture that wasn’t too thick or too thin, so it helped to smooth out my lip texture a bit but didn’t settle into my lip lines noticeably. It wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating while worn. The color and quality was consistent with the permanent version I have.

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.

Spiced Honey
Spiced Honey is a soft, light-medium pink with strong, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation but did not apply well–it sat in my lip lines and had slight streaking along the edge, and if I pressed my lips together, there would be a line of demarcation. The texture was a bit too slippery, I think, and resulted in the less-flattering application. It lasted for three and a half hours on me but was comfortable and lightly hydrating.

I’m so glad you review this set Christine! My friend get this set for me on the 11th before it is sold out. Hopefully they will show up at other retailers later this year for people who miss it. Except for the Spice Honey which washes me out, i love everything else. I think it is a solid set.
Hi Christine, thank you for reviewing this palette and lipstick set. I’m glad it reviewed well. I was told by the TF counter in Nordstrom Chicago that this set is sold out ‘system-wide’ and they took my name for a waitlist should it come in.
There has been quite a bit of discussion about this palette, with some pointing out that the 4 shades in the palette are Tom Ford’s top selling single shadows Exposure, Body Double, Iris Bronze and Videotape. I own the Iris Bronze single shadow and thought it would br listed as a dupe for shade #3.
Sorry, I don’t own all of those shades – just Videotape. I am only comfortable adding dupes that I have both shades of and can confirm are dupes – users are, of course, always welcome to submit their dupes based on what they have! 🙂
Wow, a whole $2. 41 of extra value – Hourglass should take note! I do like that Casablanca lipstick (the lighter one is not a colour for me) but everything in this looks very dupe-able.
Casablanca is very pretty!
Yay! I have this in the rotation for this week!
Damn, the numbers are tight on this being a “value set.” You’d better love everything included and I do not.
It’s a beautiful set and a good buy if the lipstick shades suit. All of the shades are pretty dupable, but these do work well together. An A would have made it that much better for the price.
Lovely eye look Christine.
I am sure that this sold out because a lot of people collect Tom Ford quads but I think this particular quad looks a little boring. I don’t have many of TF eye shadows but the few I have are just okay. I purchased Honeymoon palette when everyone was raving about it and while it was okay, it wasn’t anything special to me. I think I will save my money, not that I could get it anyway since it is sold out.
