Lily
Tom Ford Beauty Lily Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light, silvery white with cool undertones and a fine pearl finish. It had semi-sheer, buildable color coverage (up to medium coverage) with a lightly creamy, thin, and emollient texture. The color went on somewhat evenly but was prone to settling into my lip lines. It lasted for two and a half hours but was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$36.00/0.07 oz. - $514.29 Per Ounce
The Lip Color Sheer formula is supposed to have a "semi-sheer effect" with a "creamy" and "hydrating" formula. They are a sheerer lip color, which may or may not be one's cup of tea; if you are looking for pigment, look elsewhere, but if you're someone who likes sheerer coverage, lightweight, hydrating textures, then it might be a formula for you.
There are several shades in the range that have a more transformative effect, as they contain a lot of shimmer/sparkle or have a more duochrome or iridescent-like finish. There are others, typically deeper, richer hues (reds, berries, etc.) that are more medium coverage. The wear ranged a lot from as short as two hours to as long as five hours but most wore around three hours. The formula is lightly hydrating with a very lightweight feel on the lips. They are vanilla scented but have no discernible taste.

Lena
Tom Ford Beauty Lena Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a pale, light blue with gold, blue, and green pearl. It had semi-sheer coverage with lots of shimmer; it seemed to lighten and cool down my natural lip color while adding a multi-dimensiona shimmer that reflected light beautifully. The consistency was lightweight, emollient, and comfortable to wear as it was moisturizing over the two and a half hours it wore well for.

Carine
Tom Ford Beauty Carine Boys & Girls Lip Color Sheer ($36.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy gold with warm, orange undertones and fine, golden pearl. It had semi-sheer to medium color payoff in a single stroke with a moderately emollient consistency that was a bit thin but felt rather balm-like, so it was comfortable on the lips. There was slight color that pulled into my lip lines, and it only lasted for two hours on me.

Lena is sooo cool! In both respects, at that! The other 2 are just too blah and the fact that they only hit the 2 hour mark is a deal breaker for such plain shades. But Lena is a whole nuther story!
Very interesting shades that Tom Ford is putting out lately, not for me, but I am sure that others will appreciate them. Just very expensive.
Wow! Those Tom Ford lipstick shades look like those worn by girls in my junior high, circa 1978!
These are really pretty!! I love the effect on the lips!!!
Lena is surprisingly pretty, and I think would make a beautiful topper.
I love they light shades. Unlike many, these do not have a white chalky base. So pretty.
