The packaging matches its £35 price tag, the white and gold looks clean and luxurious, the tube has a good weight to it.
On me Pink Dusk is a slightly warmed gentle pink with a semi-matte finish. Its very pigmented and goes on almost opaque.
Its feels quite creamy, and isn't slippery. I'd say this lasts better than the average lipstick. This has a vanilla fragrance but its quite subtle.
I'm very pleased with it but I wouldn't say the performance is better than my slightly cheaper lipsticks. I am very interested to see what else gets released though as the quality is definitely there.
I bought this from Harrods but Selfridges and House of Fraser also stock them.
Ahah, that "slightly cheaper" was great!! I don't know if I'm liking the white packaging, though of course Mr Ford (such a pity he likes boys, I find him quite attractive!) had to create something different from the usual black...also, it I know you said it's creamy but it looks a little dry on you hand...or perhaps I'm just finding reasons not to get one of these lipsticks! I bet you're taking advantage of Zuneta's 20%, I certainly have! ;) xx
ReplyDeleteI tested these instore and the colours are so rich and gorgeous, but couldn't bring myself to part with £35 for one.
ReplyDeleteThe color is really pretty but like others, I can't get myself to spend 45USD on one lipstick. I do like the packaging though - simple yet chic.
ReplyDeleteI really like this colour! I admire the Tom Ford lipsticks, I'd love to get one. I just have to wait until the other half isn't watching ;). I see at as necessary blog research of course! I agree with Anna though, I'm not totally convinced by the white packaging.

I keep talking myself in and out of buying one of these... they look stunning but then I think, No! Stop the madness! Its £35... and then I see posts like this which make me want it! Ahhh!
ReplyDeleteI bought one of these lipsticks in Smoke Red (I think that's the name). I love the packaging, the weight of the case and I do find the pigmentation more intense on the lips and does last longer. In Canada these are priced at $52.00 (as opposed to MAC at $20.00). The funny thing is I would like to buy a couple more - Bruised Plum & Moroccan Red. The nude pink is very pretty:)
ReplyDeleteI love these lipsticks, I want eyeshadows next, please Mr Ford. They are very 'break glass in the case of emergency only' purchases, but the colours and textures are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna,
ReplyDeleteI don't usually like white packaging either but this works somehow. I had the swatch on my wrist for a while as I was wandering from window to window to find a good light, so wonder if it set too much and thats why it looked dry ? Can't buy anything until pay day I'm afraid as just bought the Chantecaille tiger palette! let me know what you order from Zuneta x
Hi Meeta,
I know what you mean, its has to be a must have shade really for the price.
Hi Kristie,
I'm sure the price puts a lot of people off, I do wonder if they went a bit too high.
Hi Jane,
I think this is the only colour that would be wearable for me which is probably a good thing considering the ££ but I think some of the richer shades would work well on you as I think you can pull off more intense colours x
Hi Mizzworthy,
I kept holding off as well but finally gave in, I don't have much makeup resolve :)
Hi Anna,
That is quite a leap in price from MAC, still I think it your really like it then its worth it, I did like the look of the darker shades from online swatches I have seen but I think I am a bit too timid for them :)
Hi Grace,
Well it was your review and pictures that caused me to want this in the first place so I knew it would be a hit. I'd be very interested if he bought out eyeshadows too, I like your analogy ;)
I love white and gold packaging!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ra,
ReplyDeleteIt does look very clean and modern, though I think I prefer their newer darker packaging, bit more sleek :)
