Awwsome idea! I was thinking the the same about the pigmentation. Laguna would be gorg on top!

I wonder how similar to this blush to TF's Blush Gilt from a few summers ago? Image from the Beauty Look Book's review...http://www.thebeautylookbook.com/2013/05/tom-ford-illuminating-cheek-color-in.html

The new blush seems more gold, but I'm wondering if they are close enough that I don't need this year's version. I think I know the answer to that…

I think the cream blush is more peachy pink rather than seashell pink? But I came up with another excuse not to buy it for myself....I was relieved that T compared it to MAC Springsheen cause that never looked good on me. On my monitor it looks closest to the Milani dupe.

Oh no! I'm so disappointed!! But I do love the color. Might cancel my NM order and try to get this one through Nordstrom, just in case.

Hmmmmm, Pink Sand looks a little brighter. Both are pretty, but I think they are different enough to justify having both. How do you like Guilt? If you really love it, I'd say order PS. If not, hopefully you will be able to swatch in store before it sells out! Like my girl @SassyWonder suggested, topping the blusher off with Laguna is going to be SOOOOOOOOO pretty this summer! Or if one wants to keep the pinky hues more vibrant, topping it off with Nars Orgasm would be perfect!

Well this collection may make me dip my feet in the $TF waters for the first time! I'm dying to try Pink Sand and I also love the e/s duo with Pink Haze

You may be on to something. Tom Ford is bringing back a lot of discontinued products. I'm starting to hold out hope that Narcissist will come back. Not that I need another Fuchsia blush.

Today I stopped at the Bergdorf's counter and I was talking to the SA about the lipsticks that were going to be brought back. He didn't know what I was talking about but the only name I could remember was Warm Sable. He says "oh I have that right here and its been here for 2 months already." He also showed me Pure Pink which I've seen in this thread. I couldn't remember the name of the new one though but I'm sure it'll be there soon if not already since he had the other 2.

I stopped to see Skinny Dip as I wasn't sure about it and and of course Skinny Dip and Rose Soleil were the only 2 they did not have testers for. He said he liked Skinny Dip and Rose Soleil for me. When I referred to the other 2, he said he thought they were too bright for me and liked the lip look I already had on (Chanel Amourous Rouge Coco Shine!). It was funny that he said this as I do go for more sheer lip looks most of the time. Anyway, he told me I could "rock" (his words) any of the duos and really the whole collection. He did say the bronzers were reformulated and would show up better. Interesting. I did a quick and sheer swipe of the blush on my hand and thought it went almost powdery (not the right word but definitely not tacky). I didn't read Christine's review but maybe she put on too much at once. So all in all another collection in which seeing it in person did not result in a reduced list.

I have asked those who would know at TF. The lighter cream shadows are re-promotes. However the other two are not. As in it is not Spring 2015 re-promote for the one cream shadow. All four powder shadows are new. Plastic does not effect longevity of product life. The blush is 100% new.

With T's swatches of the cream cheek color, I'm debating canceling my entire pre-order.

Anyone NC50 getting the cheek compact?

The cream blush for my tastes is disappointing- reminds me of nars orgasm which I dislike :/ the texture thing may be how she used the product and didn't set it. Idk.

I'd hope at $65, I wouldn't necessarily need to set a cream blush. You know? I'd hope it would at least dry down. I don't mind going in and topping it off with something to set but I'd be worried about taking some of the pretty luminosity out of it. I do use a finishing powder every day and I wonder if she did that... or just tested it out to see the longevity without any additional products.

this is good. I was upset when only one was going to be a new color.

As has been stated previously when a review is given, it is their opinion of the product. Often one reviewer may view something totally different then you might feel about it. Perhaps it would be wise to see the majority of opinions before making a decision based on one person's review. I often find myself feeling a reviewer is wrong, at least for me and how I feel about a product. Think of it as Suzy said the color pink is ugly on you. So you will never wear pink because Suzy told you this in 1st grade?
