I will definitely be getting both trios when they are released. She wolf looks fantastic, and I am pale enough to wear in the pink.

I own several of these pencils and have a "love/hate" relationship with them.

What I love: super creamy (no tugging, skipping or difficulty when applying), easy to smudge/blend/sheer out/etc, and pretty colors.

What I hate: creaminess leads to unwanted under eye smudges that need to be cleaned up during the day and fading. This is based on my own personal experience when I use them solely as a liner. Maybe someone else doesn't have these problems.

I tend to wear these liners in combination with a more hearty black liquid liner underneath and smudge them a bit for color accent. I also will sheer them out to use in different looks.
Thanks dear, that helps a lot. I was wondering when it didn't say waterproof or long-wearing. Because I wear contacts, that doesn't sound good. I just loved the rich espresso color.

Glad that I could help! I also wear contacts most of the time. I wore espresso today over a bit of black liquid liner, and I still have a love/hate relationship with it. I loved the initial look that I got. After 4 hours or so (which honestly is the first time that I checked) I had unwanted brown smudges at the outer corner of each eye. They were not artsy/makeup artist/stylish looking smudges.

I don't understand why they would make a high end eyeliner & not make it waterproof long lasting! Geesh
I got the new Smashbox waterproof liners & they work pretty well. Very creamy nice for the waterline too.

^^^It makes no sense to me either. Before I purchased the liners, I had read reviews mentioning that they smudged rather quickly and had problems setting. Stupid me ignored those reviews, and now I feel compelled to use them because I spent the $$. Honestly, there are much better liners out there.

Oh, don't tempt me.  I  like it but I don't know how different it is from my other hot pink blushes.
I just got mine last week and i am in love. I dont own any other hot pink blushes but this is so pigmented i have to be careful. I literally have to just tap it once and build it up. I will say its hard to blend so i try to make sure i place it properly or else ill have to keep blending awhile in order for it to look like i placed it right. But once its on the color is just gorgeous. I think im done with tom ford. Got my lipstick, got my blush and got my shade and illuminate intensity 2 (which i still need to play with but im scared because i paid so much for it dont want to ruin the damn thing lol)

I stopped at the counter today. I had lots on my mind so I'm just now realizing I saw a hot pink blush. This must have been Narcissist. Tom Ford doesn't have any other hot pink blushes do they? Or is that does he?

Luvly - Congrats on getting the Shade and Illuminate 2 - It's been on my list forever. At this rate, I don't know when I'll get it. You won't ruin Shade and Illuminate but I have read that the dark color can get into the light and not look so pretty after awhile. You may want to use one side of the brush for the shade and the other for the illuminate or use two different brushes if you think it will bother you to have product in both.

I stopped at the Tom Ford counter because I called Guerlain yesterday and they said they had fall in. Tom Ford is across the way so I decided to stop in and ask about the fall products. The SA said they had it in and that it had just arrived today. She said she would look up my pre-order if I had a receipt but there was a problem with the computer when I did my pre-order so I don't have one. The manager was not in so I had to wait. No biggie but they were having a special today at Saks (NYC) - spend $250 in cosmetics and get a $50 gift card - today only! Plus, it didn't have to be from any one counter. You could combine receipts.

I decided to ask about the discontinued quads. She said only Violet Dusk and Cobalt Rush was discontinued. She then showed me the new quads. She said one was similar to Violet Dusk and that there would be a blue quad for Holiday. So after heming and hawing (is that how you spell it?) I bought Orchid Haze, Lavender Lust and Seduction quads. I was able to combine the receipts to get a $50 card so I will probably buy Sable Smoke or Love Bruise with it. I guess, I will be getting a phone call soon to pick up my pre-order.

I haven't been keeping up closing with TF's releases but the fall collection sounds very exciting. I'm quite confused with the location specific releases though, and Orchid Haze looks stunting, is it also an Asia exclusive? I wonder if my counter will get it. In The Pink looks pretty too! Here you can see Orchid Haze. http://bestthingsinbeauty.blogspot.sg/2013/08/tom-ford-fall-2013-eye-colors-live-and.html

I'd understood that Orchid Haze was an Asia exclusive, but that it was now being rolled out to other regions.

Here's another review (with swatches) from Cafe Makeup:

I'm hoping Holt Renfrew gets a move on with that national distribution. This is just...

Absolutely glorious looking.

I ordered She Wolf and Orchid Haze from Bergdorfs. They look so gorgeous I cannot wait till Sept 12 when it launches at my local counter. It should be here Monday when my no buy starts!

Yes, I can believe it if you are like me at all. Right now I have too many new things to try them all. I wore a bright pink blush again today (Burberry Hydrangea Pink). It's reminding me that I don't need Narcissist even if I did see it.

I bought Orchid Haze and I'm in the US (NYC).  Yesterday was the first I had heard of Ice Queen.  I searched the net all last night and I could find mention of it on one blog but no pics.  I'm dying to see it even though I'm not big blue fan.
Could you maybe find out if Bergdorf really have it in stock. I have heard that they have a tester but no product available yet. Ice Queen is supposed to befor Christmas from what I have heard,
