Oh goodness I JUST ordered 3 GA Eye Tints at NM

But I got 8% cashback at ShopAtHome! Good deal if anyone's thinking of ordering from NM in the next hour or two (not sure what the rate will be tomorrow).

Re: Flame...I was all ready to order it and then I swatched my boy Diego and I *think* they're actually close. I'm going to wait until tomorrow when I have some decent light and see what I'm dealing with. I'm sure I'll still get Flame, but if Diego is close, I may push Flame back down the list temporarily. There are too many pretty things Meddy! Too many pretty things!!

Two quick natural light lip swatches of Tomas and Jack! I love them both. Tomas looks more orange on me than it does in some swatches I've seen online. Jack is a beautiful color that somewhat reminds me of Buxom's Swinger. Sort of. This one was harder to capture as it looks a bit pinker in photos. In person it pulls a little more purple on me. Hope this helps! ETA: my face is darker in the Tomas swatch because the sun momentairly hid behind a cloud. Lol first world swatch problems! The picture is still very true to real life though.

My nude boys are finally home!

Stavros Henry James Julian

Okay, consider me enabled. NEED Julian. Going to head in store today to get him. Have called and they've put one aside (the last one!). Will probably get Giacomo too and maybe one more so I get a gift box....[help] @EllaS here is TF Flame on me. Felt like a warm red today. Looks pinker than it is (iphones seem to make everything look pinker). I love to wear it with a little of the second lightest shade from Cocoa Mirage on my eyes, as seems to suit without overpowering the bright lips. It's very moisturising for a matte - I actually wouldn't strictly call it a matte as it has a bit of sheen to it.

Haven, that's hilarious! FedEx man should be grateful - you are keeping him in a job! Thanks lovelies for your kind comments It's one of my favs. If you're after a warm red you really must get Flame. EllaS you will love it! So, these boys came home with me today. Giacomo, Julian (due directly to this thread!!) and Stavros for a friend. And in exciting news, the lovely SA told me that Nude Dip is coming to Australia for our Autumn and reserved one for me. Will be here in Feb. :dancin:

Thanks ladies

I was really surprised to see the collection at Nordies today. I asked if they had some left and they said all of them. "We just got them in," said with a puzzled look. I guess they don't know about the online frenzy and sell outs. I picked up Richard. I figured I could use a Negligee back up if it really is a dupe. I couldn't think of what else I might want. I wasn't up for doing a bunch of swatches and the display was overwhelming. Surprisingly, they did not get in the Matte collection so not Pussycat for me still.

So my NM lips and boys order arrived. All nine boxes. WTH? One lippie per box for 8 of the boxes and one box with samples. I was getting the side eye from DH. Nine neimans boxes via FedEx in one day. He was not happy. Then I opened a couple of the boxes, and the ls seem so small that he thinks that they sent me a truckload of samples.

Hilarious! !

I might have to check out Richard now

 

[IHughes]

Richard is super brown on me, I was really surprised!! It's definitely a unique shade in my collection!

Of course lol ...when I haven't any funds to buy it :sigh:

 

[beauteblogueur]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but for any Aussies reading, David Jones has Lips & Boys online now for $45 each. I was weak and ordered ANOTHER!!! 5. My last big beauty splurge before a hopefully less profligate 2015!

Does anyone have the limited edition Aphrodisiac? Would someone swatch it or compare it to maybe Cooper? Francesco?

I have Aphrodisiac and Francesco.

They do look very very similar with arm swatches and paper swatches. But Francesco has a tad more red while Aphrodisiac more warm magenta. Although on my lips it's the reverse (Aphrodisiac is slightly redder). Not sure if you can really see the difference from the photo. The difference is really unnoticeable. I think you need just one.

Thanks for bringing this up, I didn't even think of the similarity between these 2! I guess I really didn't use Aphrodisiac enough to remember it. It's funny how I didn't think Aphrodisiac was that impressive when I got it but I really love Francesco (probably my top 5 or even top 3 from this collection), and now I realize how similar they are, I think I will put Aphrodisiac more in use.

On a side note, I noticed that Aphrodisiac is much harder to remove compare to Francesco. Maybe it means it's longer-lasting?

Aphrodisiac always on the right and Francesco on the left in the following photos.

Which Tom Ford blush do you think is essential for a Tom Ford beginner? They all look lovely and I don't know which to go for if I do.
Thanks in advance!

 

[MRV]

MRV your boys are lovely!!!!!

Thanks, Med! I'm going to a (limited) TF counter in two weeks. They do have lippies though. Wonder which...

 

[MakeupAli]

Take a look at this comparison - T listed Chanel Insaisissable as a dupe for Adriano.
http://www.temptalia.com/tom-ford-adriano-dupes-comparisons

Yes, but she only gives the Chanel a B and says it is drying, whereas Adriano gets an A+. It's a shame because for $4 more for the Chanel you could get a full tube for the Chanel.

Thanks in advance!

I think most people on here (including me) would tell you to get Wicked. I think the beginner blush for non-Specktra people may be Frantic Pink though.
