I love some of Tom Ford's products---I have 12 of his e/s palettes and every blush that he's put out so far, I think it's 7 of
them. The house of TF will not go under because I've decided to skip this one
palette.

Wonderful collection! I'm inspired! I have been thinking about getting another palette and blush. I will try to wait for fall offerings but I think I may have to get a brush before then.

Now I've gone and done it. I just bought a third Fire Lust. I now have a backup for my backup. I am pretty sure I have officially lost my mind. I tried to find a cheaper alternative to Fire Lust that gave the same look (Nars Orgasm was supposed to be a good dupe), and while Nars Orgasm was similar-ish, nothing has the same formula or gives me the same glow. Sigh. Tom Ford just hurry up and take all my money already.

I'm so out of control---I just ordered the cream foundation brush. The cheek/blush brush is one of my favs.
I'm hoping TF adds a berry colored blush to the permanent range.

I understand your passion. Hello, I'm Medgal/Med and I am a highlighter addict.

The palette is beautiful---I would buy it just for that gorgeous gold e/s. I have issues w/co-mingled products but
I'm gradually breaking myself out of that. I LOVE TF blushes. They are very pigmented, they blend well and they
are long-wearing for me. That's another reason I would get this palette. Read some reviews on it and make your decision.
There's nothing worse than wanting something, hesitating and then missing out altogether.

HG I think in some situations, I am the most impatient person on the planet.

I hope TF is also working on his lipstick formula. There have been issues with some of the nudes and darker shades.

oh I hear you Medgal.. I am the mother of impatience.

and yes, they are "presumably" working on the formulas for the last 9 months.

:agree: I finally got Fire Lust after missing it last summer. You're right, there is no alternative to this gorgeous highlighter!

What type of brush is everyone using with Fire Lust?
When I mix it with my foundation I use whatever foundation brush I'm using---usually my Chanel #7, MAC 187 or
Hourglass foundation brush #2. If I apply it directly to my skin I do so w/a sponge or my finger tips and blend it w/a
MAC 131.

I have a noticed a really unpleasant, almost "off" smell with both the Illuminating Highlight Pen, and with Fire Lust. It was obvious from the first use, so not due to having had it for a long time. I asked about it at the counter and was told it's supposed to smell that way??

I have two shades of the liquid foundation and two shades of the stick foundation and have not noticed any smell at all.

Would appreciate any input from people who own these - thanks!

Wow. Your post caused me to immediately check my Fire Lust. Their is a faint smell but it is neither
off-putting/offensive. That you characterize the smell as "really unpleasant" & "off" shouldn't be taken lightly at the
counter. Who in their right mind would try to convince someone that a product is supposed to stink other than
something like Nair? Are you able to compare the products elsewhere in person? This just doesn't sound right at
all.

I didn't have them with me at the counter but I am going to bring them back and ask again. The smell is just like a Touche Eclat I had that smelled very strongly. But that happened after I'd had it for quite some time. I tried cleaning the brush head but it made no difference - it was the product that was the problem, not the applicator.

That's just not right. There have been similar complaints about some TF lipsticks "going bad" & having a rancid smell.
