See more photos…
Blush Nude looks sooo gorgeous. Where will these be availible at?
I believe Bergdorf’s, Saks, and Neiman Marcus will carry these… at least online. I think in-store will be more selective.
r these limited ?
Permanent I believe.
$45? No thanks lol
OMG….i second that! No matter how great the quality of the product may be…i could just buy a couple of my favorite lipsticks with probably just as good quality as that.
MTE! The colors look nice but NO WAY am I spending that much on a lippie!!!
Completely agree. I bought lipsticks for $3 each at K-Mart and i love them!
Wow that promo pick looks quite racy! Lol awkward way of putting on lipstick, well that or she wants to eat the $45 lipstick =P
I agree, the promo pic is quite provocative.
However, upon first glance I thought the guy was putting the lipstick on her….which would be much hotter IMO ;D
As for the lipstick, I highly doubt the finish will be as beautiful as the pic, but I’m interested in seeing how it turns out in real life.
Can’t wait for you review on this, Christine!
Haha! That SO would have been a lot hotter! And I agree, the finish most likely wouldn’t look as nice as the pic. Yay for Christine! 🙂
$45 for a lipstick?? and I thought YSl was crazy!
try Cle De Peau! $60 for lipstick…
Is it really $60 for that? Wow! I have to pop my eyes back in after reading that!
Oh snap! I just looked at the colors, beautiful! But after reading Iris’s post. 45 BUCKS?! um no. 🙁
Too pricey. 🙁
such pretty colours… cherry lush looks like such a nice red!
I saw swatches of these already and they’re pretty, but HOLY JEEZ $45? No.
wait… who is tom ford?
[collapse]
I totally wish they sold all twelve in a fancy-schmancy box. Like a collector’s set. And maybe at a little bulk discount… I mean, I’d take $5 off…
Dude! Don’t you LOVE that box set?! I am SO not waiting until June. I’m calling Selfridges at like 3am tonight! I wish I could get them all but maybe just a few. Any suggestions?
I think it would be amazing if there was one… Is there one? I haven’t spotted one!
I want the red in the photo. I’m wondering if it’ll actually be nearly as glossy as it looks in the photo… I’d probaby have to go Pure Pink, True Coral, Cherry Lush. So hard to say without SEEING them.
I think Cherry Lush must be the one from the photo. I love how it looks like jelly – Reminds me of a 70’s porno lip. Hah. Cherry Lush and True Coral look pretty. Agreed though, it’s hard to tell without actually seeing them (which is why I want to call the counter and ask).
Let me know what you hear… I mean, there are only 12, right? That’s totally possible to collect them all… it’s a MAC collection and a half…
I have seen a box set on another blog. I am not sure if it was for press though.
Dusty called Selfridges, and if you buy all twelve, you’ll get a box to keep them in, but they’re already sold out of it!
Hah! I got so excited I completely didn’t understand what you were typing – Sorry! YES there is a box set! Check it out: http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2010/03/tom-ford-private-blend-lip-color.html
ARGH! They’re all sold out of the box set… They also couldn’t understand my big American accent and talked to me like I was a cave man (I should have told them I was Canadian). Hahaha! 😉
I did get some info out of them though: Their biggest sellers are Cherry Lush, Pure Pink, Ginger Fawn and True Coral. True Coral is by far their most popular lipstick. Cherry Lush has a lot of blue in it, making it almost a fuchsia red. And of the purples, Moroccan Rouge is the more universal flattering color.
The best part of the conversation was when I had to ask for a manager because the sales woman didn’t understand what I meant by, “What are the most popular colors and do you have any favorites?” Instead, she seemed to hear, “I want free samples! [Drool] I’m a greedy American! [Snarl] Sent me all your stuff for free! [Belch and other uncooth noises].” LOL!
Oooh and Pink Dusk (I forgot to type that one out). That’s the biggest seller of the nudes – The manager described it as a very warm pink nude.
LOL!
Thanks for the update, Dusty! Not shocking that those shades are the most popular ones!
I saw that, but I thought it was more of a press event, so I wasn’t sure if it was available to consumers!
Christine, they are in at Neiman-Marcus stores ( well, BH and Topanda in Cali) AND they are displayed in a beautiful white case. I asked if they would be sold as a set, but the SA said she didn’t think so. I thought the texture of the lipsticks were quite lovely, very creamy. The colors were hard to wipe off of my hand, so excellent staying power. I would say that the colors in the photograph weren’t quite a perfect match to the lipstick colors in real life. They are taking pre orders! I ‘m going to start out with two. Pink Dusk and True Coral were my faves..Looking forward to your reviews!
Oh, interesting… I don’t think I have any Neiman Marcus nearby. Well, not near enough that I can run over any time soon at least 🙁
Neiman Marcus is taking pre-orders for these – IF you are near a Neiman Marcus that sells Tom Ford Private Blend, they’ll carry the lipsticks. Ship date is supposed to be this week, launch date in stores is mid-to-end of May (That’s what I was just told by Newport Beach Neiman Marcus).
LOL Dusty.
designer…
seriously?
He is a director. And he also made those oh-so-popular sunglasses years ago. They are at least $320, I think. Basically, he makes expensive things.
45 bucks for a lipstick? And I thought Chanel was expensive!
Guerlain Rouge Gs are $45! 😛
At least Guerlain don’t rip off the British customers by charging a lot more for their already expensive lipsticks in the UK! $45 = £29, Guerlain lipsticks are £25-£27, whereas Tom Ford’s are £35! How does that work? Chantecaille do the same too, they are even worse, a $90 powder cost £80 in the UK!
Your paying for the Tom Ford name more so then the actual lipstick.
$45….bye-bye…
For $45 Tom Ford himself better come to my house to apply the lipstick! LOL
LOL! i know right! XD
Pretty colors, however the packaging is god awful… I’ll give this brand 5 months before it dies.
OMG i am in love with the promotional photo for this!
Hey Christine I am looking for that foundation chart you once made? Cant seem to find it anywhere but it was so useful! x
http://www.temptalia.com/foundation-matrix-comparisons
TY!
What the! 45 bucks, pass! I’ll go get myself 3 MAC lippies instead!
$45 is too much… i’d rather buy ysl or chanel and feel much more happy about my purchase! 🙂
I just want to know what lippie he’s wearing. 😉
LOL Me too!!
Is it just me, or does Tom Ford seem to market himself as the walking definition of sex? He knows what he’s doing…I mean look at that promo picture. LOL. I don’t know if it’s enough to tempt me to spend $45 on a lipstick though. We’ll see.
If it’s that glossy on its own, I want that red!
It is!
Yes, Tom Ford’s aesthetic is pure sex. Look at any of his collections from Gucci. Or at any of the ads for his perfumes.
If the lipstick actually comes out like that in the picture, then I would be really tempted to purchase. Otherwise, I will likely pass. Spent $50 on Cle De Peau silky lipstick and that was a major disappointment!!
The lipstick looks really luscious on the model! It’s tempting.
Can’t wait to try out the cherry lush ..
i love the promotional pic too 😀
he gets points for the architectural lipstick tube but none of these colors scream my name. if i don’t start seeing mind blowing swatches, i’ll skip.
i do love the promo pic. sexy without being pornographic.
Ahhhhhhhhh thank you Christine. I love Tom Ford so much and I can’t wait to try his lipsticks. I just came home with a bottle of his private blend Black Violet perfume and I’m still riding the Tom Ford high. This makes it even better!
these babies are £35 in the UK so i think u guys in the US are getting a better deal!
i checked these out yesterday at the Tom ford counter and considering they were only launched 2 days ago the testers where nasty and I didn’t think that much of the textures or colours for that matter either – pass me a mac lipstick anytime!
oh, and i must add these colours are pretty opaque so they have a fab colour pay off but they are nowhere near as glossy as the promo pic
Will not be buying these for two reasons: the price is just ridiculous, I mean really. Also it’s quite amazing that they exploit women in the campaign for a product that’s solely marketed towards women. The product looks beautiful, but I’m sure as hell not going to support a company that makes an ad like that.
We’ve had these in my store for a couple of weeks. I’ve already gone ahead and preordered a few for my kit.
Hi christine! I saw on a post from the british beauty blogger that if you do get all 12 shades, they’ll give you the presentation box 🙂
I’m not sure if that’s a press box or not.
I don’t even know who this Tom Ford guy is and I certainly won’t be paying £35 for a lipstick! (Which is a LOT more than in the US, I believe it’s about $55!)
$45 here 🙂
I tired these a while back in selfridges but found them a bit drying, they’re pretty pigmented but not particularly glossy. Overall I think the Guerlain rouge G’s or Ysl voluptes are better, not to mention cheaper!
I may be the only one who looked at the photo and said WOW!OMG-so GORGIOUS!
I simply love it!
but i’m not spending 50-55 € (here!)for a lipstick while i can buy 3 from mac with the same money!
if i could afford it i would buy one or two though!
i would probably go with the one she is wearing and the first 2 nudes!
You’re paying for the rare! exotic ingredients!
But I must say the colors look great and the design of the tube is appealing.
I absolutely loved the promo picture. Very different, its provocative no doubt, but it is very catchy. =-) Anyways, $45.00 for a lipstick its way too much for me, but then again its Tom Ford, but still with that money you can buy 3 MAC lipstick…LOL
TF always has very porno-esque ads. one of his perfume ads consisted of a naked woman, legs spread, holding the bottle over her hooha. and it was a rather small bottle.
yeah think i’ll just buy 3 lipsticks from mac instead.
That is the sexiest promo picture I have ever seen! I love it, even though it’s so sexual haha…
Wooooooooweeeeeee! That promo pic is HOT! I probably wouldn’t pay $45 for a l/s, but who knows what’ll happen if I see swatches 😀
I probably would pick one up simply because I love TF.
I could seriously buy these lippies just because of Jon Kortajarena and is delicious mouth being on the promo pic. Yummmm..
Blush Nude, Pink Dusk, True Coral, Bruised Plum and Black Orchid are all looking so utterly tempting to me.
I am SICK of these outragious prices 45.00 for a lipstick, in this resession.We all know what it really cost to make this lipstick? Sickening): No thanks.. I will send my money to St. Judes to help the children who need it.
I have waited for these to emerge on this site!!!! Living in Denmark, these lipsticks are worth travelling anywhere in the world for – I crave them!!!! I adore Tom Fords creations and take on beauty i all matters… Have You seen a Single Man? Please do…. For the better of yourself….
That is the first promo pick for Lipstick I have seen in a good long while that I would describe as pornographic. Just lower the lipstick a little more so it’s actually touching your lip and you’d get quite a different picture.
Blush Nude is awesome. Best lipstick ever! The SA at TomFord advised me that they’re LE. They were launched here in the U.K on the 24th of April.
I have Blush Nude and True Coral and they are awesome!….the lipstick stay’s on for hours and after a very long deliberation with the SA i decided on True Coral instead of Pink Dusk as was urged to go out of my comfort zone…… very glad for the advise as i would have never made this decision by my self.
$45 for a lipstick that I’ll never use up?? No way!
I just got Pure Pink and it is GORGEOUS so bright! I love it! so smooth and doesnt dry out my lips at all! possibly the best lipstick i’ve owned!
Checked these out Tuesday night and was really disappointed!! Not many shades to choose from & it does not come out as glossy in the picture…no surprise there. Not worth $45…
Where can I purchase the new collection in the U.S.? I have tried N.M. and Sack’s….HELP Virginia rogers
They are supposed to be at Neiman Marcus and Saks now… I believe it is on their websites.
Do you know what color lipstick he uses in the promo? I want it so bad!
I think it’s Cherry Lush.
paying for the rare exotic ingreadients??? ahahah NOT! I am from brazil tho ahaha
I would love to have Tom ford lipstick that will suit my skin collre thanks Chani
Haven’t tried the lip color yet, but have worn Black Orchid fragrance for 4 winters now and its such a wonderful heady outrageous fragrance. I’m sure if I can get my hands on the lip color I will cherish it as I have all of the YSL lips etc. etc. that have been so great in the past! If you love lipstick the price doesn’t matter,and I believe Tom Ford Knows!!!!
I WOULD LIKE TO BUY SOME WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE
I want to buy lipstick of the brand tom ford please gimme the details from where i can buy the lipstick online or in india .
I was at a CCO yesterday and they have 2 Tom Ford lipsticks on the counter. They were $31! I just had I get one! I figured it was about the same price as Chanel so I went for it. I got Moraccan Rouge. It’s beautiful! 🙂
