I just ordered Grace. It's sold out on Nordies & NM.


I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like some photos of Grace make it look almost peach. but on T it looks like a red. It's listed under red on TF site but their picture doesn't look red either. So weird.

Someone on Beautytalk said she thinks Grace may be Something Wild. The swatches on TF look very different though, FWIW.

Have you looked at the tube pics on TF? It's pretty cool how you see someone holding the little tube in their hand when you tap (or hover, depending on what kind of device you're on) on one:

Boys & Girls - Boys and Girls | Beauty | TomFord.com

I like the pics of the cut tubes where they show a chunk of the color too:

Yes, I thought that was pretty cool too. It would be nice if they listed a shade description, unless they do & I missed it. I loved how Grace looked on T's lips.

Yep. I noticed that about the names too. It may be because some of the numbers are used in both the Sheers and Ultra Rich shades so it got confusing? I know Sabrina had an MA give her wrong shades at a counter for that reason. I ordered Zoe, Marisa and Scarlett (after seeing it on someone on MUA) yesterday. I read that Katherine = Revolve Around Me but don't know if that's true.

Those 3 are so pretty! OOh Scarlett, I'll have to know what you think of them on. My Grace shipped but not sure about Alicia yet.

I think it's a song. I wonder where some of the other names come from.I think it's a song. I wonder where some of the other names come from.

Yeah me too. There's a film with Harvey Keitel called Bad Lieutenant - I suspect that's where that comes from. 'Megnetic Attraction' and Foxfire - lol, is it too much of a stretch to say these might be Fox News references? Tom Ford has made his political views pretty obvious. (OK, it's a stretch - but you got to admit that 'Foxfire' sounds like a totally plausible program for Fox, lol.)

Some of the rest just sound plain lazy to me. Erogenous, Exotica, Stimulant, Satin Chic? Not particularly creative imo. I wouldn't say that all the names in the past have been clever but I think they've been better than these. Erogenous and Deceiver are just...off putting. Lol. For different reasons. Both new new but I remember thinking Gratuitous was a silly name for a blush. I bought it anyway and I like it. Just not sure what's....'gratuitous' about it).

I ended up getting Age of Consent, Bad Lieutenant, Devore, Discretion, Foxfire (ugh lol), Heavenly Creature (probably a reference to the Peter Jackson film?), Night Mauve, Night Porter, and Sugar Glider, which I'm hoping isn't too brown. I really like how Paper Doll and Spiced Honey look...I wish there were more swatches!

Wondering what else everyone has picked up here! I def wish there were more swatches of the nudes, those can go really wrong for me...still want to place an order for Spiced Honey though lol.

Ugh, I just posted to your reply & it didn't show up. Anyhow, I'm curious about how BL, HC & Sugar Glide will look on the lips. Nudes are definitely hard to choose. They look one way in the tube & sometimes so different on the lips.

Can't wait to hear what you think!!


Oh, same here with the nudes! I have to err on the side of caution and assume they will be much lighter than the pic.

I have a few items in my cart and one is not in stock yet so I might wait for that to restock first.

Oh, yes, I remember BL, and Heavenly Creatures with Kate Winslet. Wonder if NM is a play on Night Moves and if WW is like the Garbage song... who knows :nixweiss:
Contempt, Foxfire and Night Porter are movie titles as well, I think. I'm just not into a lot of the names and don't find them particularly evocative or "sexy" .
I don't mind Contempt though, go figure lol

I think you might be the only brave soul who's ordered any of the full size new ones so far! Looking forward to hearing how you like them!
