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!
T's lips aren't very pigmented at all, though. Her lighting is definitely an issue here. :/

Ack - those photos came out huge! LOL. Glad it was helpful. I just looked at T's swatch again for Didier ... not sure it's exactly the same but it may be close enough until he brings Moroccan Rouge back!

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.
That's the blog I was referring to! Flynn looks lovely. And I reallllllyy like how Peter looks on her! So much that I might order it... But I need to slow this TF train down, and remember that I have a NM by my mom's and I'll be there for christmas break. I can always pick more up in person.

My local Neimans just got the testers today and I got to try a bunch of them and place a pre-sell for the 26th. I totally forgot to take swatch pictures, sorry guys!!!

Apparently my counter only has like 5-10 of each color, and they already had a couple people on their list buying all 50!! Anyway, I wanted to test some of the lighter and darker shades. Alasdhair performed poorly, was patchy and kinda sheer (hard to build up color, cause it would bunch up). Rory, Kyril were super pretty but also sheer and would get patchy when you try to build. Julian is my all-time favorite of the bunch. (Sorry for the terrible pic)

Temptalia just posted pics of the new TF LE lippies. Some of the shades did not look opaque and the dark shades looked patchy upon application. Not impressed at all.Getting a shade from the permanent line is better value in my opinion. Such a shame.

I'm glad I didn't purchase any...after looking at T's swatches. Not that they are bad but the few I wanted..I don't like them anymore lol.

While I know T's swatches aren't too reliable lately, comparing Luciano and Alejandro-- I would have much preferred the latter! Looks a bit cooler and metallic. WELL! I've learned my lesson... no more buying blind without swatches!

I see I'm going to have to swatch on my own. Nothing is grabbing me.

LOL I think about that all the time actually. Her website is awesome - the fact that you can compare two products side by side is amazing. So I sure hope she's making good money!


They really are. Hard to resist a pretty nude and those 3 are all beautiful.
Even though she's a lawyer, she doing something that she loves, so that can't be too bad. I don't think she's actively practicing law.

I agree, it's totally hard to resist a pretty nude!!
