That's why it's so difficult to buy online. Pigment in lips and your coloring make all the differenceHmm. T's swatch of Sebastian looks nothing like it looks on me. It's soooo orange on her. And honestly it is just really not that orange. http://www.temptalia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/tomford_sebastian004.jpg Obviously I know things will look different on everybody, but I really think her lighting is an issue at times. Here it is on me - natural light.
I thought about what an arduous task that must have been.....I can't even imagine.
I definitely got nervous looking at her swatches of Alexander and Luciano-- but you're right!! They'll look different on everyone. I'll try to hold my judgements until they're swatched on my lips.
Yeah, I hope this is my last rush launch!
Oh no doubt lip pigmentation plays a big part. And admittedly my lips are not that pigmented so lipsticks tend to show pretty true to the color of the bullet.LOVE it Ella!!!!
Thanks Meddy!!

Seriously! And I know just to get one good non-blurry shot of my lips I have to take (at least) several shots. So multiply that by 50 and then try to keep track of what's what. A lot of work! So kudos to her, really.I thought about what an arduous task that must have been.....I can't even imagine.I would have lipstick on the
ceiling!!!!
That's for sure!
Yes! I think withholding judgment is a good call. But I am curious to hear what you think of Alexander and Luciano once you get them and how similar/different they are to what you expected!I definitely got nervous looking at her swatches of Alexander and Luciano-- but you're right!!

Definitely! I hope Alexander isn't too barbie pink. It didn't look like it would be that way based on promo pics... even though I'm aware those are rarely accurate. We'll see! They should be here Wednesday! I'm trying to hold off ordering Alasdhair and perhaps Flynn. Flynn doesn't look good in T's swatches, but in another blogger's swatches (I can't remember where I saw the link!) it looks so pretty. I need to see if I even like the 5 I've already ordered, first. There's always the 26th. Will they go back online or on counters only?
Actually Flynn looks really good here http://mylucitedreams.com/2014/12/01/tom-ford-lips-boys-in-flynn-peter-and-beau/ A nice soft pink on the lips. Alexander was one I had on my "need to see swatches first" list. I'm really interested to see that one. I had 11 on that list lol. I ended up throwing caution to the wind and buying Peter without a swatch and based on the swatch on my lucite dreams, I'm confident I'll like it. I'm really hoping these will be back up online on the 26th. I really think they will. I think that's meant to be the wide release day, so I think they'll be everywhere. And hopefully they'll all be back in stock because I'm sure there are a few I missed this time around.
Yes, and It's a good thing she's making money---no one would or could consider that a mere labor of love.
Oh they're all really pretty on her!!!
They really are. Hard to resist a pretty nude and those 3 are all beautiful.
If you could, please swatch them together. I am hopeful that Didier will be Moroccan Rouge ... but not 100 per cent convinced yet! I have found Temptalia's swatches and dupes to often be very far from what the item actually looks like. So I take what she says with a grain of salt, though I know other bloggers have also said Didier is MR.
Unfortunately I don't have MR. I saw a lady with it on in my job a couple of years ago and asked her what it was, then hot-footed it to the Tom Ford counter only to find that it had been discontinued and have been pining for it ever since! Although T's swatches are often off, I always find her information to be reliable, so I trust that Didier is MR. Hopefully someone else who has both can swatch for us just to triple check!
