Tom Ford lip Colour Shines in Quiver, Nubile, Insidious

Though I liked my first lip colour shine in Frolic, I didn't feel like the qualities warranted the price. However, it has become one of my most used lipsticks so I decided that I did in fact need more.

The lipsticks have a subtle shine/glossy finish. The texture is smooth, balmy and also rather soft (so can smoosh a bit in hot temperatures).

They apply really easily so there is no drag but neither too much slip.
They feel hydrating on and though when I initially got Frolic I found it could highlight dry areas, I no longer find this the case (this might well be that my lip condition has since improved).

Quiver is a cool soft pink.

Nubile is a rosy brown with a hint of terracotta (this swatches a lot warmer on my than it looks on).

Insidious is a juicy peach/apricot.

The formula is not what I would describe as long wearing, but on par with the majority of sheer lipsticks on the market (though I did find Nubile to have a longer wear).

Swatches L-R: Quiver, Nubile, Frolic, Insidious

My brother very kindly bought these for me from Heathrow terminal 3

    What a lovely collection of the Lip Shines you have here! The colors are very pretty. I'm glad they've since impressed you.

    Clare, Nubile, Frolic and Insidious look very nice indeed. How do they compare with the Chanel Rouge Coco Shines?

      They are not as lightweight as the Chanel but feel more balmy and hydrating and last a bit longer :)

      I still think they could do with being a bit cheaper (mind you I think the majority of the TF range is overpriced), but there is something about them, maybe you should have another test in store ;)

    Hi Clare,
    the fact that you bought few more shades means that this lipstick is worth trying. I have never tried any TF lipstick but the sheer ones looks worth trying. I love quiver!

      Yes, I really think the sheer ones are worth a look, I found the normal ones a bit dry and heavy so much prefer the shine formula :)

    Hi Clare!

    Thanks for this! I've always wanted to pick up a TF lipstick and have recently started with Sable Smoke. Looking to expand my horizons. I think I'd pass on these though, I mean it's so exxy for what it essentially is - a lip balm! :(

      Hi Sharina,
      I wasn't too keen on the normal TF lipsticks, these do feel a lot more comfortable on and I think they have a good colour payoff. I do think the whole TF line is a bit overpriced though ;)
