Tom Ford Beauty Discussion

Glammy I'm grateful for it, I love it but it is so out of control! I need to stop adding to it and really focus more on using it. I guess that's why I enjoy the makeup challenges so much. They focus on using the products---not so much on using things up--but actually using things period!!! Next month we're using a different e/s palette every day for a month. I'm excited to do that!!!

That sounds like something I need to do! I have so many eyeshadows and I used one YSL palette from june until late November and since then I've been using the Chocolate bar..

Veering way off topic, but seeing pictures of skinny dip l/s makes me want it so bad! Can't wait!

Yes I was quite surprised when I heard the prices at first. Was debating on wether or not to order similar brushes from Hakuhodo or buy from TF in person. With the shipping, customs and handling fee it would even out. Hence I got the TF.
I was a bit afraid on how they would work since the bronzer blush is huge. It does wonders! Works great with the Chanel les beiges powder that i use daily. Same with the blush brush that I use with chanel joues contraste blush. The blush is baked so I really needed a dense blush brush to work with it. Im very satisfied with both of them and will use them daily.

That's so, so good to hear. I'm glad you'r loving your TF brushes. That blush brush is so amazing at picking up product that I have to be careful not to over-apply my
blush. I think for me, the Bronzer Brush is better as an overall face powder brush, the way you're using it, because it's so enormous. I also like that they dry quickly, in
spite of their density. I use the Benjabelle drying rack which is so awesome for drying makeup brushes.

Oh you've got it bad now Lauren. No turning back!!!

I finally got the shipping notices for both duos----they're due to arrive on Thursday! Meanwhile, I used my 2015 cream shadow and I LOVE it. Thanks to those here who
forewarned about the amount to use because that was so, so helpful!!!

Oh yes, I must have it. Looks like it'll be a beautiful pinky nude on me! TF does the best nudes for my skin tone IMHO! It's coming out in the summer collection, correct? I have yet to own a TF lipstick with a white case!

These are so beautiful--the Crushed Indigo is showing up as sort of pink/purple on my screen. But Colour Me Loud's definitely looked blue/indigo. So confused.

From Colour Me Loud:

If only it were the purple that showed up in Beauty Professor's pic!!!! I WISH!! (But then it wouldn't be "indigo" would it...)

I believe Sara's colors are probably more accurate, but I have seen other pictures that really pick up a purple hue for the Indigo duo.

I played around this morning. If you combine the lighter color plum over the darker indigo, you get the purple shown on the model. Basic Art 101, blue and red make purple. My art teacher would be proud I finally used what he taught me.

Well, you are NOT helping me to resist the Indigo Duo!! I have green eyes and rarely wear blue, but somehow I still want it. But now that you say I can create a wonderful purple with it .... (like I don't have another purple eyeshadow to my name)

I am still waiting on the cream color to arrive from BG, the plum duo from Saks, and I just ordered the Raw Jade from Nordstrom this morning!! I don't have to pay sales tax at Saks, but I prefer Nordstrom because of their return policy and I work 2 blocks from one! So, my indecision on Raw Jade led me to the easy return option!!

I also have green eyes and avoid blue eyeshadow. Again, the infamous Dairy Queen lady memory and my relentless brother....I couldn't figure out how the model in the pic got such a cool color. Then I said to myself, this is not brain surgery, think. I also think they used the cream shadow under the eye and on the lid, then put the indigo over that with the lighter plum. Ugh, what we do to look good! The campaign for Chanel in Blue that will be released this summer I am on the fence about. I already own the bright blue mascara from summer 2013 that is a re-promote. Purple really does make green eyes pop.

Inspired by @elegant-one who wears her heels out in the yard pulling weeds, I decided to do a smoky eye whilst sitting at home in my sweatpants!

I just played around with the "Spring 2015" cream eyeshadow. On me it's decidedly pewter/grey but in certain light it takes on a cool khaki cast. I love it! It looks so much cooler on me than it does on Sara http://www.colormeloud.com/2015/02/tom-ford-cream-color-for-eyes-spring.html or bubby michelle on instagram: https://instagram.com/p/zbogAupeCf/?modal=true (did she just tap a little onto her eyelid for sparkle or is that it covering the whole lid?)

I keep finding eyeshadows are pulling super cool on me for some reason. The Armani Eye Tints do that on me as well!

Yay! I got mine too! I think they're arriving on Weds but with the weather this winter, you never know. And I also give thanks about that warning - although I kind of suspected I would need to exercise caution after my experience with Spice. I don't know what it is about these shadows but if I'm not careful I will end up with them all over my face, my clothes, you name it! I'm like a kid with finger paint!

Aww thanks Glammy!

Finding the right nude is such a coup!!! The white cases are nice. I really like whipping them out in the summer.

I'm loving this 'a package/day' mode that I seem to be in

Today it was Nordies samples and a new case for my phone. Oh that's a riot about e/s & finger paint.
I relate---that's why I'm a brush girl. I use my fingers and it ends up all over my clothes.

I know right??? I declared one and done!!! That didn't work out in my favor so I'm just going to stop looking at these amazing pics of indigo and stop reading all the rave reviews!!!

Stunning Ella! A small amount sheered out seems to be the ticket---that's exactly how I wore it yesterday!!

I do not know why I insist on always using my fingers. I'll sometimes do it for powder shadows as well. I seem to get the most color by applying with my fingers and then blending with a brush, but then I never remember which are my clean fingers so I'll start touching my face and get dirty finger prints all over myself. Another reason to apply foundation last!

And I am 100% behind you on your strategy of maintaining a steady stream of deliveries. A package a day keeps the withdrawal symptoms at bay!
