The lipstick packaging is the same as the original line up, a crisp white with gold edging.
Straight away I am loving the feel and application, it feels lightweight with just the right amount of slip, it applies smoothly and feels hydrating so I don't have to worry about the area looking patchy, dry or with visible lip lines. The wear time is average at best but then for a sheer range I wouldn't expect it to have a longer than average wear.
Now onto the colour which is a very sheer peach nude with the barest hint of pink and heavy golden shimmer. Whilst its nice, its not quite as amazing as I had hoped. I do really like the actual base colour but just find the finish a tad too frosty.
Swatched below (this is with four swipes).
Even though TF are the highest priced lipsticks in my collection, I'm impressed enough with the performance that I definitely want to try another shade from the sheer range, I just think in hindsight I'd had been best to go for one of the other shades.
I bought this from http://www.selfridges.com
Hey Clare, I'm sorry to hear you're not 100% in love with it! I get the frosty part. I'm not usually big on frosty, either. I've seen other beautiful shades in this line though!
ReplyDeleteYes me and frost don't get on :) I'm eyeing up Summer Fling next ;)
DeleteOh Clare sorry about the "frostyness" I tend to steer clear of them since I already own a few but this brand gets so much love I look forward to trying one, one day! Glad to know you like the formula. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many raved about items in the line aren't there, I have a few things now and whilst some I really love I do find the line overpriced.
DeleteI deeeefinitely wouldn't go to Tom Ford for a sheer lipstick. The brand is just so darn expensive! So if I'm gonna splurge, it better be on something that will pop, lol.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see what you mean but I am known to be indulgent ;)
DeleteI love the Tom Ford lipsticks and they are the only ones I'm willing to spend those prices on. I prefer the regular line but I still like Pink Dune.
ReplyDeleteI do really love my shines, I've actually nearly used a lot of them up, will end up being a rather expensive re-buy :)
DeleteHi Clare! it looks so pretty in the bullet! so sorry you are not loving it, I can see why, I think it would be a little to light for me as well. xxx
ReplyDeleteYes, this shade doesn't pack much of a punch, I knew it was sheer but didn't it expect it to be as sheer ;) I think there are meant to be more pigmented shades in the line up though :)
