Flame has been on my list but I got distracted by all the boys! LOL I haven't seen it in person but from swatches it seems like it's that sort of orange-red that I gravitate toward. I'm definitely going to check it out when I get the chance.
Flame will be my next full-sized TF lipstick. It's been on my list since the mattes were released. Too many distractions AKA new collections!!!

Recycled UPS tracking numbers. You should be ok, but if you're really worried send an Email or call so you can at least have some peace of mind!!!

Gorgeous!!!! You have perfect lips for lipstick!!!

Call!!!

And I contacted CS and they replied this afternoon and told me that the tracking was finally showing up. It did take THREE DAYS for it to start moving though SMH. Anyway, with the recycled numbers I guess it can take awhile for it to show, but you have to click on "Shipment Progress" in the tracking section on the UPS page and it refreshes a second time. And only then does all the detailed tracking info show up. But it also shows all the tracking info for the package that previous had that identifier. It's kind of ridiculous. But, lesson learned. This was my first recycled tracking number and it had me STRESSED OUT! The delivery date is still messed up though. It's estimating delivery for Friday 1/2 but at last scan it arrived an hour down the road. So fingers crossed the rest of my boys will arrive tomorrow :)

So I have about half my army of boys, I'm still waiting for my shipment from Bloomies and a second one from NM. I think I went a bit boy crazy, but I honestly could not resist the LE shades and I just love the smaller packaging. So far, I have: Julian X 2 Stavros X 2 Addison Liam Didier Olivier Flynn I'm waiting on: Jack, Guillermo, Matthew, Michael, Patrick, Giacomo, Cooper, and James. I'm not sure about Guillermo, Cooper and James (since he's a repromote). I've been drooling over Julian since I got him on Cyber Monday (my first boy). I can't seem to stop wearing him. I need to give my other boys some love!! Oh, and bloomies is only sending me 1 of the boxes even though I ordered 7. Anyone else have that issue?

Yes SO many distractions! LE always takes precedent right? That's why these launches - as incredibly frustrating as they are for us - are successful for them. If it's not going to sell out or if we know it will be restocked, there's no urgency to buy it. *sigh*

Hmmm, you know, I gave up on the box. I was so irritated by the lack of information about where to get it that I just stopped caring. Maybe they ran out? Or was there some fine print stating only 1 box per customer? You should email them. Can't hurt to ask!

Love your picks. Julian is absolutely beautiful, so I can understand why you're wearing him so much. I tend to gravitate toward the easier to wear/everyday shades myself.

Wow that's terrible! I'm glad the recipient took the initiative to contact you so you could get your package! I can't believe this is my first experience with the recycled numbers. My google searches seem to suggest they've been recycling numbers for many years. What a mess it can cause!

I think the issue of recycled tracking numbers is only prevalent & apparent during the holiday season. Under non-holiday conditions they are updated more frequently,
and pretty much go unnoticed.

Thank you! Julian is a dream. So easy to wear yet it completely brightens up my whole face and gives such a polished look. Truly an HG color for me. Julian looks amazing on you as well! I keep meaning to contact bloomies but keep forgetting, I definitely will tomorrow. I was going to let it go, but playing with my other boys tonight (hah!) made me realize how convenient the little boxes are for storing them all. Did you not receive a box with your orders?

It's lovely. Next time I wear it i'll post so you can see. I'm more cool-toned than you, but will give you a bit of an idea. I know what you mean about getting carried away with the boys!

Well online.....Neimans gave multiple boxes per customer during the Black Friday release and preorders as long as you did separate orders. I only got 1 anyway because I cancelled my preorders when they went live on Nordies (and why Nordies never offered boxes except for the pre-made sets is a mystery). I suppose Neimans might have cancelled all but 1 had my preorders actually shipped. I do know Saks has a rule about 1 box per customer, not sure about Bloomies, but yesterday I was playing around on Bloomies and even though it was mentioned as a GWP with 3 it would not add a box to my cart when I had 3 ls in there and this morning I no longer see it on their site.

This is what Saks says:


Receive a signature Tom Ford Box* with any three clutch-sized Tom Ford Lip Colors purchase. Use code TOMFORD23 at checkout.

*ONLY ONE PER CUSTOMER. LIMIT OF FIVE PROMO CODES PER ORDER.
Offer valid at Saks.com through Sunday, March 1, 2015 at 11:59pm(ET) or while supplies last. Please enter promo code TOMFORD23 at checkout. Purchase must contain any three clutch-sized Tom Ford Lip Colors product. No adjustments to prior purchases. This offer is not transferable. Valid on shipments to US addresses only. Not valid on international shipments.

Saks is the only site with boxes still available as far as I can tell.

I maaaay get a full sized Tom Ford lipstick from Selfridges as they're reduced to 33 pounds, do you think it's worth picking up Pink Dust full size for 33 or Addison (equivalent) for 26?

Neiman Marcus would only send one box with my order. I ordered 6 lipsticks. I think I should have 2 boxes. I wouldn't worry about it but they fit so nicely in the boxes. I did open it up and put 3 on each side and that works but still.

Well that stinks
I've fallen behind in this thread. Did you ever get Pavlos, Dolly?

Well, we had a 50/50 chance that it would look the way it did based on the variety of photos we've seen. I had swatched it first at the counter and it did look as if it would pull more red but once home on the lips, nope. I feel guilty and bad to return it so I am going to keep it for the time being. Who knows, it might grow on me as a 'basic daily' type color but for the price and hype it fails to deliver. Like I mentioned before, Runner surpasses it by a mile. Now I wish I might have gotten Wes instead BUT I already have colors similar and don't want to waste $32. I am committed to trying to make this work...for NOW. :lol:

It is funny how it looks so deep and reddish on some people and muddy and brown on others, myself included.
