. I may need to check out Gustavo again. I like it in your pic.
Thanks again! It is stunning. Rich, feels great on, and absolutely rocks. I did post some pics of it on me, but my selfies sucked so bad, I couldn't take it! LOL. The angle was so weird, it didn't even look like me or my skin. But I paired them with MAC Morning Coffee and Chestnut, respectively. I think I could probably do better with the liner on the darker of the two, but it's still way fab. I didn't even have on eye makeup and loved them. I'm totally converted. I was very meh before because of the size. Then I put them on. Wish they were bigger, but hey, it is what it is and enables us to try more colors. I never finish one anyway. Don't hesitate, girl!

And Peter I think looks lighter in this pic of mine. I'd liken it to maybe like a MAC Lustre and like one of the lighter ones. I paired it with MAC Stripdown and love, love it. I'm fair, though, but like nc25 with yellow undertones so I'm not Nicole Kidman. It still has enough color without being too pale and if I darkened the liner, even more so. And Didier and Xavier are gorgeous, wine/berry- so fab for the season. I'm hesitating though because I don't wear those colors. Bought a few of the Audacious in the darker ones as well as those great Maybelline Mattes because I don't care if I ever use them at that pricepoint. I've only tried a couple times, but D & X are stuuuunning. I may keep em anyway. I actually listed them on Ebay. If it's meant to be, I'll keep them or sell them.

It actually looks so good on you that you shouldn't bind yourself to seasonal rules. Wear it whenever the mood hits you!!
What a nice thing to say

I'm definitely not opposed to wearing corals in winter. Actually I wear my YSL Sheer Candy in Tangy Mandarin almost every day (I keep it in my purse and pop it on when I'm out sans makeup walking my dog and realize I look like death warmed over LOL). I think maybe I just wasn't expecting Matthew to be so bright and as you say the mood must be right! I'll definitely keep Matthew at the ready in case the mood strikes!

OK last one for the night. Here is Matthew. Matthew is so bright I was really shocked when I put it on! Very pretty color though. For me this will probably be a summer shade I think because of the vibrancy. Love the formula.

You've made me fall in love with Matthew!

I'm loving Didier but crossed Xavier off my list. I have too many shades like that to be buying a $32 mini dupe lol. The others I'm most likely getting are Richard, Alejandro, Tomas and Diego (although I have no business buying any more orange lipsticks like Diego lol). I may or may not try Stavros as well to make it 6 and get 2 cute boxes. I'm waiting to see if it'll work for my skintone (NW43/45 ish)

You're welcome! I'm just waiting to see what my finances are like for mid-December so I can decide how many I can/can't get. Guillermo is a sure bet though.

Those are great choices. Very pretty colors. And yes, so true! We gravitate toward the colors we love and keep buying them over and over. I just saw the Bite lipstick I bought is IDENTICAL to one I already have. Lol. I gotta try some of those orange toned ones. EllaS ' looked great and you convinced me! :santa:

Awesome!!! We're doing a challenge this week, wearing orange/coral lipstick for the entire week. We ended our red week today, Sunday.

I want Stavros =)
I'm starting to want Stavros too, since everyone is raving about it. But I feel like I'll rarely wear it, cause I don't know how to pull it off... I did try it in store last week and I immediately thought zombie!

Stavros is a must buy. It's one of the those lipsticks I would describe as 'different', as I would never thought that anyone like Chanel or Tom Ford would produce a lipstick like it. If you are worried about how it would look on your skin tone, wear it with a burgundy or a lightish berry liner. I'm buying this myself on Boxing Day

Thanks for the suggestion. Yea, the SA also mentioned using it over a berry or purple/violet lipstick, which didn't look so bad when he swatched it. But then I think, what's the point of it (Stavros) alone then if I need to wear it with something else?

I personally think that the lipstick is meant for layering over a liner or lipstick. But it looks just as good on its own

Oh, I decided to wear my reds in December. Today I'm wearing Strange Journey so I'm kind of joining the club!

Marsha, do you know if these lippies are coming back to Selfridges (on some other place in the UK) again?

Thanks, Med! Thank you, Glammy! Thank you, EllaS! I feel the same, and as I said before it feels like a glaze, but a very creamy glaze. I feel if I put more than one layer I have too much slippery stuff on my lips. That's why I don't get much colour (there is this lovely glow/sheen though), plus my skin tends to eat up peachy/orangy tones. It's very pretty on you! You might also have lighter lips than me so the colour shows a bit more. I was also iffy about this formula. I wanted to get Peter, too, but just could not risk to order two highly pearlized lippies because I was not familiar with the formula. Love Matthew! It's my favorite boy.

Yep, they'll be back on Boxing Day in Selfridges and on the Tom Ford website. I'm going in store during the sales, and whittled my list down to... 1
