As anticipated the new Tom Ford Lip Color Sheers from the Spring 2014 (Limited Edition) have been flying off of the virtual and actual shelves since the launch, and while many will scoff at the hefty price tag-- devotees to the line are not dissuaded from the purchase. I was tempted by In The Buff, Pink Dune & Summer Fling, and am very pleased with the purchase. Of course I belong to the category of the latter rather than the former as my large stash of Tom Ford Lipsticks will attest-- so I didn't hesitate in purchasing a few before they were gone.
Harmonizing sensuous shades of shimmering nudes and hot, vivid colors, the limited edition Tom Ford Sheer Collection delivers an irresistible effect that complements sun-kissed, Summer skin. A decadent mix of shea butter and vitamins C and E helps lavish the lips with saturated moisture. The distinct, beveled Lip Color Sheer bullet is packaged in a retro-chic, ivory- and gold-colored Tom Ford Case.

Summer Fling has to be my favorite here! I'm surprised that these actually last 3-4 hours, since they seem sheer in the swatches. I've been fooled before tho! Glad to hear they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteMine too! I was pretty surprised that they lasted that long on me as well. I don't know if that is an anomaly or if everyone is getting that much wear-time. They seem sheer in the swatches because I chose three of the very least pigmented shades-- the darker shades are much more pigmented. I'm really happy with the formula-- it's a nice balance between his other two formulas.
DeleteThese are lovely, especially on the pictures. I got two myself, Summer Fling and Paradiso, love the shades and the fact that they are not as thick as TF's balms, but... I experienced some drying on my lips after using them :-( my test is ongoing but it is very interesting because nothing dried my lips, really, ever... I might have sensitivity to one of the ingredients, don't know. Thanks very much for the review though...
ReplyDeleteYou chose such pretty colors!! I'm so sorry to hear that you experienced some drying! I haven't had that happen-- I wonder if it is a sensitivity to one or more of the ingredients. What happens if you apply them on top of a lip balm?
DeleteThe shades are so lovely, it breaks my heart after lips are so dry... Thanks, I will try it with a lip balm, which I don't have and first have to buy lol, because my lips are never dry ;-)
DeleteThat's an awful lot to spend on them if they dry out your lips! If the lip balm doesn't work can you return them, or are they strict about returns in Germany? If you are allergic to an ingredient you shouldn't be stuck with them!
DeleteI can't wait until payday so I can buy myself some of these beauties, so far I definitely want Summer Fling, & Pink Dune. I'm liking the look of in the buff but wonder if it would be a touch too warm..decisions..decisions.. :)

Hi Clare! I know what you mean! Summer Fling is definitely worth getting. Pink Dune and In the Buff are close enough that you really don't need both, and of the two I think that you would prefer Pink Dune. However, if you have to pick one-- I would make it Summer Fling. If there is any way to see them first, I would.

DeleteI couldn't wait since I was afraid they'd be sold out. I just got Pink Dune and Summer Fling in the mail and can't wait to photograph them and try them.
ReplyDeleteI hear you! I can't wait to hear what you think about them! I think that Summer Fling is my favorite of the three that i bought!
DeleteWow!!! They are all so pretty. I prefer pink dune for I think its perfect for my pale lips. I also love the packaging, though its simple it still looks classy.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Pink Dune is definitely a lovely color, and I think it will be pretty on your pale lips. I agree the packaging is gorgeous!
DeleteWhy does TF make so many things I want to buy! I'm not sure any of these would work for my pigmented pout but they sure are covetable!
ReplyDeleteHi Erin! That is the same question that I ask myself repeatedly!!!!!! You might find all of the shades that I bought to be underwhelming for pigmented lips, but I suspect that you would be pleased with the more pigmented shades!
DeleteI got Firecarcker and it's nowhere near sheer. I love it because it's a bright red orange lipstick
ReplyDeleteHi Kath, Firecracker looks AMAZING on you. Nowhere near sheer is an understatement! :D
Deletesummer fling is my kind of color and the name is pretty cool too! too bad the cost of one lipstick can almost buy you a fun eye palette :(
ReplyDeleteHi Chia-Yi! Summer Fling is just my type of color as well. There is no question that the TF lipsticks come with a premium price tag! I fear how much more I would be tempted to buy if the price tag was lower!
