I was watering outside thinking, I need to tell her that it is her kind of shade - she would love it

Guillermo is one of the I think 3-4 that I do not have :)

I think So Vain definitely is more mauve tone. It also appears that way in the promo on her lips.
I agree, which puts me back into happy that I ordered it instead of worried that I bought two of the same thing. Everywhere describes it as plummy brown, and I agree. On me it pulls a little more brown, but the plummy tones soften it...it could easily become my go-to this fall....we'll have to see how So Vain compares.

Does anyone have the TF eye primer duo and if so thoughts?
I have it, I still get creasing while wearing it with certain shadows. It does smooth the eye lid, so I feel like it's makes my eyes less "wrinkly" looking if I'm wearing a shimmery shadow. So that is a positive note. I will use it up eventually but I would not repurchase.

Makes me very excited to get it.

It really would be helpful if TF would inform us the names have been changed. I also understand the confusion and mixed messages about what it is what. Yet I keep it in perspective. It is makeup, not your house. Since I deal with people losing everything they own due to a National disaster. One agency will have info that doesn't match the info another agency has. It is frustrating and heartbreaking as those who are helping these families, not knowing what is really going on.

I would suggest purchase for those who already the Boy's, purchase the Men from Nordy's or wherever will accept returns. Unlike the TF website. Unless of course it doesn't bother you to have the Boy and the Man in the same color. No wrong answers for this, just whatever works best for you!!!!!

Case in point, last night I was sent a text I was to go across the country for a situation. Two hours later, was told, nope, no need to go. Since sometimes it is the State program handling it, then it flip to the Fed program handling it. Or the other way around.

Love the pics, just lovely, thanks to all!!!!!

Ask the SAs! Maybe they'll know & tell us.
. My usual Asa Well thanks to all of you I went ahead and ordered the blush brush. (And Quiver and 2 glosses) because Saks sent me a $50 off $200 gift card that ends today.. plus Mr Rebates has 12% and I had a little PayPal balance from Ebates. Well that's how I justified the purchase. :shock:
My usual SA wasn't there but the other SA said they were the same but was unsure if all of them were. She asked another guy and he said not all. He picked up a few and said they were new and one used to be an Asian exclusive. I was asking about the model pic and he stared mixing colors but I wasn't talking about the one on display. Anyway I couldn't remember what I had and I was greatly distracted by Guerlain with Mon Exclusif. It threw my whole game plan off. I decided to wait and check my stash and talk to my SA. Surprise surprise they had the eyebrow palettes and eye/cheek things. I searched a few but was not getting much color. I don't think I had the right applicator but I wasn't seeing much. I wasn't too gung go on those anyway. I did forget to search the eyebrow thing. I was planning to get it. Oh and you'll live the blush brush! I'm tempted to buy another. I haven't had the bronzer brush for long but I'm enjoying that one as well.

Thanks for this! Lilac Nymph looks a lot Jack from the lips and boys. Virgin Rose is beautiful!
Np! It looks similar to jack but it's not the same, it's lighter and brighter. I have jack at home, so I'll compare them side by side and post a pic when I get back home tomorrow

Stopped by the Tom Ford boutique to see if I could get any info and the SA there said they were not the same colors. I'm not so sure. It is possible that even if the SAs know they are the same they wouldn't want to tell thinking people wouldn't buy them. Not true for me. I would buy them all in full siZe I just wouldn't rush to get them all. Was it said whether these new colors are perm or not? I can't recall. In Saks, I did play around with So vain and love bruise. I liked the lipstick but I don't know if I liked them together. It may have been too vampy for me. I don't think the combo looked like the promo pic. I didn't think the promo pic was that vampy.

Thank you so much! That makes it easy for me, I don't need to have it, it had mixed reviews.

UGH, I am trying to convince my self it is close enough to the Chanel from last year with the lace pattern on it!!!!! I have gone blind, I can't read what you are writing......but I am busy expanding our rabbit hole.
It was just temporary blindness, but, wouldn't want you to miss out on this, I think it's the "highlight "product for me from TF, I've been using it in one way or another everyday since I got it. Because I'm so fair it works as a blush as well.

Many times they have no clue. I was at Sephora the other day, I wanted to purchase the smaller size UD anti-aging eye primer, the SA insisted there was no such thing, I told her I had it at home, then she showed me the giant tube of face primer and said that was the larger size, I told her that was for the face not eyes, what an idiot!

Have to go to Saks and check everything out, I'm afraid that I'll need more brushes after I get this one!
Saks is having another money off event. I believe it starts on the 20th. The Guerlain SA showed me the $ amounts on her phone but I was just looking at the second level as I'm contemplating a large purchase. Anyway, it goes $50 off and then $100 off. I know the $100 off went with the $500-$999 category. I didn't see what the minimum was to get $50 but I know it has been increased from the $35 off they have been doing lately. I didn't like that and told them so. I was like what happened to the $50 off? I must not have been the only one complaining. So likely it is either $200 or $250 minimum. I don't know. I'm assuming you get it off with that purchase and don't have to wait. I know when they were doing the $50 off before you got a card to use later but you only had to wait a few days before you could use it.

This is better than Neiman Marcus that makes you wait 8 weeks to get the gift card.

Anyway, I'm trying to hold off until then. I did use my friend card to get another $50 off today. So if you got 2 cards in the mail you can use the other one for yourself. I think I may even be able to use it again online but I think that promotion is over today.

Oh I just swatched my Lips and Boys and they do look like the ones I saw in the store. No matter, I would buy them all full size anyway. But I would like to know which are the same so I can determine the order of importance on my wishlist. I think I will contact my SA today or tomorrow and ask if she knows. If not, I might have to take them with me.

Do you have Alexander? That also looks similar to Lilac Nymph.
Hard to tell from the swatches online, Flash of Pink looks like it could be either Patrick or Matthew.
I actually hope some of them are re-promotes so I don't need to buy 10 lipsticks!
Hope you had a great time!
