Tom Ford Beauty Discussion

[Bronwyn]

I agree. They should at least get the quantity they expected to. Worst yet, the SAs can't say definitively if they are going to get the remaining palettes or not.

Definitely. it should be much better transparency considering how expensive tf is

I thnk Chanel has a purple quad, with purples, pinks, it is a P with the new formula released about a year ago. I love it!!!! YSL has a purple 5 pan too that is nice too.

I haven't seen the Chanel one in person, but I usually don't gravitate towards Chanel's shadows. I should check it out and of course the YSL one which I always forget to swatch when at a counter!

I've been so out of the loop in this thread. I've been thinking about getting a back up of Black Dahlia eventually. Should I?

Also, sorry if this has already been discussed but did any word ever come down if they were going to bring back Black Orchid lipstick or not? So sorry this is out of place from the current convo.

In my defense, most of them are ColourPops. But I haven't worn 4 of my 6 Boys yet either.

This made me curious, so I just pulled out my whole untrieds (I include items that have been swatched only as untried since I haven't really worn them for a whole day). I think I need to force myself to focus on trying everything for awhile.

35 Lipstick (incl 15 NARS, 12 ColourPop, 5 Tom Ford)
7 Lip Glosses
7 Single Eyeshadows (including 1 Armani Eye Tint)
2 Cream Eyeshadow Sticks
4 Eyeshadow Palettes (including 2x Dior Quints)
17 Pencil Eyeliners
1 Gel Eyeliner (but I only bought that Mother's Day weekend!)
7 Blushes
1 Face Powder

The sad thing is that I reach for the same items every day. This week, it's the Tom Ford Summer palette. I should force myself to start trying things obviously.

Were you at a photo shoot? Lol. Every single one of these pics look great! I should've picked up one of the summer lipsticks while Nordstrom was 16% cash back with Ebates. I'm going to copy this look tomorrow (minus the lipstick)!

ompom: HERE YE HERE YE....i did some OT this am (somebodys gotta pay for this TF) and so i came home and was gonna put my beloved TF on hold but then i said oke:  come ooooon kisha...u aint spend all this money on TF for NOTHING...so i was like yolo n went to work!! i was just oh so excited once i got a burst of energy to just throw everything on my face!! so much so that after it was all said and done i forgot to throw on the pink sands blush!!! :shock:  this collection has by far EXCEEDED my expectations and i cant believe i doubted anything less than from such an amazing high end line. I used smashbox BB, becca brightener/concealer/mac prolong wear concealer MIXED, anastasia brow wiz, visage neutral matte palette for under brow n crease, cover fx contour cream palette (DEEP), kat von d trooper liner (just grabbed it yesterday to test the hype) and UD perversion gel for bottom lining and perversion mascara!! i didnt wanna add lashes to take away from the eye look but without further ado... i used golden peach on the lids and added the dark color from the pink glow palette! also used the blush/highlighter on my cheeks w/a hint of gold dust and rose soleil w/mac cork on the lips!!! i loooove this RS, it's like the perfect 9 to 5 lip color to wear daily and i swooped some of the dark color on my lower eyes too! i am really loving this collection. with the golden peach i love how the glitter top is not punky brewster kiddy-ish ya know. it's such a sophistication to the palette n eye duo's so i instantly felt **sits up straight with poise** GROWN!!! :yum:  !! oh and i applied the glitter with my finger but what i did was...get the glitter on my finger, spritz my finger w/smashbox primer water (love this stuff) n then apply to lid. ok so after my RS came off...courtesy of my delicious ribs i made...i was sittin and said OH   go head n try paradiso while ur at it....i was expecting something bright and it was just soooo :stars: i can't even describe it. i love it. its definitely not sheer but it's not a BAM in ur face mac candy yum yum type color. Maaaaaan **tosses hands up** this collection can do no wrong for me. im glad i hopped on the TF train in the nick of time for this collection and look fwd to many more in the future!! i'm lookin fwd to using these lippies to the nub!! (has anyone finished a tube?) WELP!!! that's my first impression review of TF Summer Collection! i'm strongly debating on starting my blog back up so i can start having some reviews n swatches on higher end brands for woc's cuz i swear its a bytch to find them joints when i be searchin!! :sigh:

I've been trying to resist it for over a year. I feel my resistance waning.

Treat yourself---you deserve it!!!

My local counter had Electric Pink and Violet Violet. I'm going to eventually purchase them, but I was on such a nude kick that I was not even thinking about bright shades.

I'm sorry if this is buried dozens of pages back in the thread, but Black Sugar and Sugar Dune were also back- both with the regular caps.

I'm always searching for fabulous nudes and ordered MJ Nudes Sheer Lip Gel, Anais, Spiced Ginger---it arrived today and I'm in LOVE. I ignored them for so long but
the lure of 16% cash back made it easy for me to try one---so, so glad I did!

 

[Medgal07]

That happen to me for Boys and Lips campaign. I ordered Julian from TF website as a backorder. It was never filled, nothing from TF about it, sort like the socks that get lost in the washer, never heard from again. At NM when they posted Black Orchid as a re-released, they got slammed. I knew it was a mistake from the get-go. Days later NM did notify buyers this order could not be filled.

Wow----I guess I hold my breath w/back orders and I'm just a little more at ease w/preorders because they've always been filled, either on or before the projected ship date.

 

[Medgal07]

Meddy,

Was your electric pink already got shipped? I just saw it's now available for purchase. I might get it come friday. My nude dip just shipped today too, so I don't wanna make my husband freak out for too much TF purchases in a day. LOL.

I got my shipping notice Tuesday night so it makes sense that it's also now available online. I have been terrible------makeup, jewelry, clothing. Ahhhh but no shoes.
I have enough shoes---I can't believe I just typed that. Shutting down the computer before hubs can see this----he'd want to frame that.

 

[Medgal07]

OMG such great deals... I'm ignoring them too... Unless of course they sell apartments, bed, couch, and etc...

 

[ashievic]

for a while.

Here are the swatches of Lust and Sultry I posted over 2 months ago. I know since it was done before my Daddy got ill. Yes, these will be perm. As for the white packaging, yes, it is also perm for the bronzers, both sizes, as well as the lip sheers. As for the other 2 lip shines, Unabashed and Frivolous, for now they will not be here in the States. Will they come eventually, yes. Think of Forbidden Pink and such. When they do arrive, they will be part of the regular as Lust and Sultry are now.

I wore Pink Glow (blush and highlighter and the darker eyeshadow shade in my crease) and used Deep Mink topped with Pink Guilt. I was amazed by the quality and blendability of all the products. The lip wasn't quite right and think that Rose Soleil would have been the better option if I hadn't passed it up

    [COLOR=0000FF]So, so pretty Kiki.  I'm glad you hopped on the TF train[/COLOR]:train: [COLOR=0000FF]​I think it's even more fun with you on board!!![/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]    If you have Tf Pink Guilt gloss you'll notice it's like someone melted down a Rose Soleil lipstick---dead ringer.  I wore RS Sunday and topped it w/Pink Quilt[/COLOR]:eyelove:

 

[meka72]

I hope you logged off and took time to be introspective after saying you have enough shoes. A woman can NEVER have to many shoes. Lol.

One can never have too many shoes!!!! Hopefully you will find yourself feeling better in the morning and go shoe shopping.

Also, sorry if this has already been discussed but did any word ever come down if they were going to bring back Black Orchid lipstick or not? So sorry this is out of place from the current convo.

BD is part of the regular line now. As for the Black Orchid, one can only hope someday it will return.

I thnk Chanel has a purple quad, with purples, pinks, it is a P with the new formula released about a year ago. I love it!!!! YSL has a purple 5 pan too that is nice too.

The Chanel is 228 Cambon, it has pinks and purples in it. I love it, but then I am insane over the color purple. The YSL is 5 Surrealiste, lovely. And the Friends and Family sale should be coming soon for YSL and Armani!!!!

GP looks Golden on me if I don't apply it thicker. That said, I've only played with it a couple of times.

 Like when the MUA used Golden Peach on me, it just looked golden.  When I did it, it was definitely peach, but looked thicker.  So it is more than likely user error, and maybe not the color.  I didn't get any of the khaki brown that Vinetha described.  I think that is exactly what I did.   Plus the blue shade was the first blue I liked on me. 

 

[ashievic]

I'm still trying to wear my new items! I probably have 30 untried lipsticks sitting around.
Oh you've mad me feel so much better Starletta!!! I'm hoping I only have about half of that.

The important thing is that you have them. Not if you wear them!!!!!

I'll put those shades on my list... it's funny how most nudes generally meant for my skintone look like concealer on my lips...

 

[starletta8]

As someone who purchases makeup to use, not to collect and look at it (I know some of you are out there), it's unacceptable to have that many untried items for me.
