I knoooow. It looks so luscious in that link dangit! T's swatch looks like creamed coffee or something. LOL! How can those be the same lipsticks?

ETA: But if it is close to NARS' Bette but leans brown then I am all over it! WHOYA!

That's a nice swatch.  I wish my Magnetic Monica looked like that on me.  It doesn't even look like what it looks like on Karen on me.  :(  Nice formula though.  I knoooow.  It looks so luscious in that link dangit!   T's swatch looks like creamed coffee or something.  LOL!  How can those be the same lipsticks?

Because T uses that ghastly lighting which makes her recent swatches incredibly inaccurate and it seems that the lady in that link used natural lighting.

I agree...right!? It looks perfect, dark and lovely...but not T's swatch. :eyelove:
I put on Deborah this morning to convince myself not to get Pavlos, just 'cause :p I think I want Richard though lol Hard luck there

MM really is a nice formula!

Oh I know. Very washed out. But sometimes her colors are only just a *little* off

and I was thinking Pavlos might fall into that category. Hopefully that link is at least 90% accurate. LOL

Now I know why I liked Didier so much, it looks like my beloved Orgueil.
Lol, I keep staring at that link and Didier does look gorgeous. All her colors look so rich and saturated. Hope she didn't use an infamous filter.

I hope not too, it doesn't look filtered though so hopefully it just that she had better swatching conditions.

After class today, I thought: "The hell with it, I'm going to try them on my lips." And wouldn't you know, I completely misjudged them! I reaaaalllly LOVE Luciano on my lips. The hand swatch didn't impress me too much, but I am glad I decided to lip-swatch. Wes isn't as much of a love, because it's pretty similar to BD, but it has such a pretty extra dimension to it from the shine and micro shimmer (I think I spotted some in the bullet!)  Wes Luciano Both photos are taken facing an open window! Yay natural-ish lighting! 
Gorgeous Lauren! :eyelove:

I apologize for saying that Pavlos in T's swatch looked like creamed coffee. I was apparently envisioning her pic of the one above, Gustavo, for some strange reason. Pavlos still looks off, muted, and subdued in her pic.

So, second thoughts about Wes... Maybe I do actually like it? I tried it again and it wasn't all that bad lol... I may just have to apply it with a lip brush to be satisfied!

Tom Ford CS emailed me back saying Wes and Flynn are on backorder and I should expect them to arrive soon. I'm relieved!

This collection is up for pre-order from Neimans and Bergdorf. Ship date is 1/5 (but sometimes their pre-orders do ship sooner). I was able to snag Julian--most colors are still in stock.

Nearly missed the FedEx dude! I was getting ready to leave and happy I kist got him. So, I'm trying not to be a Debbie Downer, but they are way tiny! Almost like I don't know how you hold them and use them. The weight must be in the holder because the lipstick itself to me is super tiny. I don't know. I'm thinking not really worth it. Haven't tried any because I may send me all back after all that hunting! I'm afraid they'll break in half using them they're so tiny and that's not cheap to do that! Anyone else think so?

I kind of feel the same way. Debating sending back 2 of them.
