Hey lady, miss you around here too.Why did this make me SNORT!I miss you Ladies so much. I must come back more often. I'll need to read back.. did anyone get those cream shadows? Why do I feel like they are too little too late. The Tom Ford versions are EVERYTHING for this Summer. I've been using them everyday. Summer Brides do not mess around. I completely skipped on Charlotte's version.
The line will be in Toronto Holt Renfrew Bloor St. as of June 1 (only five items); the full counter goes in (I think) on the 16th. Wanted to add that I bought all the cream shadows except Cleopatra this weekend in the US and LOVE these. They go on beautifully with fingers, blend like a dream and on me (with no primer) wear fantastically with no creasing and only minimal fading. Also a big thumbs up to the shadow crayons. I did fast, very pretty eyes in minutes using these and prefer the creams to the Ford ones I have. I find they just blend better. And of course, they aren't such a PITA to get. I'm so over the whole limited edition thing.
Thanks for the info. I'm in Montreal so it does me no good. I'll have to order on line. I believe Holts said on IG that the line was only going to be at the Bloor location. I cannot imagine why brands continue to make these sorts of deals with them. I'm nervous chiefly because sometimes when HR secures a brand, other places will stop shipping them to canada (like Burberry and Tom Ford), even if Holts only carries them at one or two counters.
Katred, I've been stalking the Holts career page and they're hiring for Vancouver (I didn't see Bloor which is why I assumed it was only going to Vancouver) so maybe there's hope they can bring it to Montreal. I called Bloor this morning and they didn't seem to have any idea about it so they were going to call me back.
Thank you for this! I know where my money will be going this June....
Thanks very much for this info! I'm glad that they're at least giving the line a chance by launching at more than one counter. I won't hold my breath for Montreal, because we haven't received a new line here since the original Tom Ford launch (the lipsticks in the white and gold packaging) and we currently have about two-thirds of the standard lipsticks and maybe half the semi-sheer ones. I realise that it's cramped there- I can't imagine where they'd put a new counter without kicking someone out. (Although honestly, I think that they could replace widely available brands like Clinique and Lancome with ones that are exclusive to them.) I can at least live through everyone else's swatches and hopefully order on line.
Couldn't you order from Bloor street? I know they used to ship Tom Ford from Toronto to Ottawa for me when I lived there and they didn't charge shipping costs either!
As a Montrealer (I feel like I'm really just a long-term hostage in Toronto
) I share your pain. But since Tilbury is shipping in Canada now, you won't have to depend solely on Holt's. I know it's not as optimal as being able to try and swatch in person. And the prices aren't bad - some are quite a bit more than the US, and some are only a couple of dollars more. But on balance, I think they are better than what I expected them to be.
Old, Shmold! We know you're over there drinking from that fountain of youth from your crystal wine glasses, sitting in your hammock, Abbie in tow! lol

Hey pretty lady - I've missed you & your input here SOOO much!!!
The TF cream shadows are THE best hands down. I only got the CT Mona Lisa & I love it.
Awesome Alysse---I also need Bette in my life!!!I got my order yesterday - I love everything!! Nude Kate and Penelope pink are very similar, I'm not sure if I need both but I like them! I'm happy I ordered Lost cherry! I don't usually wear a bold lip but I can see myself wearing this in the summer! It reminds me a bit of Burmese kiss but it's less intense.
That's great Maggie---glad you're enjoying a bold lip.

That sounds so pretty Ash!!!
