I am thinking of getting Flamingo.

Do I bite the bullet or not?
Was thinking of that one myself... looks like such a great summer shade! Of course, I also keep eying another of the holiday reds (Slander). I have too many red lipsticks already... I got Reckless, though and it has become a favourite. I like the really subtle shimmer a lot and I definitely find the new lipsticks less dry on my lips than the original.

Honestly Flamingo is not my favorite, but I have some friends who love that color. I am more a fan of corals.

Hi Kids!

Just got home from a gruelling day.. and see you guys are discussing the value of Flamingo. I am on my 3rd Tube.. I ADORE this shade! I have 10 of the TF ones now, including Violet Fatale, Bl Orchid, True Coral (another fave), Cherry Lush, Sable Smoke, Wild Ginger, and Pink Adobe. Pink Dusk, Scarlet rouge.. but Flamingo

I wear it all year round and with the gazillion ls that I already own, I always fall back on this shade. It is pink, but has coral undertones.. and works well with almost all skin colours imo. Use as blush too!

Get it!

and enjoy it!

Katred: big hugs.. and yes, my hair is dark brown now and in a longish pixie cut.

My friend got Flamingo -- she said it has a hint of coral?
Some of my friends love Flamingo, and yes there is a hint of coral on them. On me I don't see any coral. If I did, then I would probably love it. On my skintone it is meh.

If it has a hint of coral, it won't work for me.

Do they have bright blue-based pink? Sort of like Chanel RA Insolente?

If you can, I would try it on before deciding. On me Flamingo is just bright pink (no coral). I don't dislike it. It just doesn't wow me like it does some people.

I just dipped my toes into tom ford. I purchased a quad and a couple of lipsticks. I love them so much I purged just under 75% of my stash so I can enjoy my new grown up makeups! lol. I don't have flamingo yet, but the way you guys talk about it, i might just have to go get it!

Tom Ford Stick Foundation: It's about 1/8 shade too light for me. I'm trading it in for the next shade down.
I know I'm way late to this party, but does anyone know what lipstick this is? Please help, it's to die for! If you are reading this Ingeune u are beautiful!

It kind of looks like Tom Ford Diabolique, which I think she said she'd bought when it first came out, but that's strictly a guess. Gorgeous pic, although I think it's impossible to get a bad photo of her...

I tested Flamingo and its a bright pink on me, similar to YSL Rose Paris which is a pinky coral.

Love the TF lipsticks, and some of the quads (some of them can be hit or miss) - I was able to get Enchanted when it came out, and I have to say it is one of my faves - hoping they bring it back as a permanent addition to the line. I also love Flamingo (HI HG!!

They're amazing.

They had a blue based pink (Pur Pink) in the white tubes .. so it's prob disc... but that was deeper and a bit brighter than Insolente (one of my all time fav pinks too).

agree on the amazingness of TF lipsticks.. quite frankly they are my favourites right behind Chanel, Guerlain, Givenchy, Illamasqua, et. al.. ha. I am glad they only have a limited number or I would be it total financial chaos. I might... might need Aphrodisiac for my mental love life.. lol

Can someone please compare Aphrodisiac with the old pure pink if they have both? I've been eyeing aphrodisiac for ages but if theyre similar I may just pick up pure pink at a CCO
