If you love a great matte lipstick, and you love Tom Ford– then you really need to try one of his gorgeous Lip Color Mattes. An other idea is to resort to shameless gift hinting to loved-ones trying to find you that perfect je ne sais quoi, and the perfect gift for such occasions is undoubtedly a gift box filled with these stunning jewels! They come pre-packaged in the matte and regular formulas, but in-store you can customize with the colors that you want the most.
According to Tom Ford Beauty,Tom Ford Lip Color Matte creates a powerfully sophisticated look of unadulterated color.
Formulated with luxurious, velvet matte finish, the lip color matte smoothes comfortable onto the lips in a spectrum of richly pigmented hues from sensuous pink neutrals to alluring bold.
As I said previously.
"The richness of these colors translates to serious opacity in a single swipe. If you have an aversion to matte lipsticks there is an alternative for you, but let it be said, and this point cannot be sufficiently underscored, that Tom Ford Lip Color Matte lipsticks are an altogether new species of matte lipsticks. These are not the moisture depleting mattes of yesterday that will leave your lips war-torn. You will still want to prep your lips, and if your lips are naturally prone to being dry-- then you will likely want a nice moisturizing base."
Surprisingly, Black Dahlia can still be found at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, but it will be harder to track down First Time.
Ruby Rush is a gorgeous blue-based red.
Velvet Cherry is a deep and dark blue-based blackened red.
Black Dahlia is a vampy deep plum that is in the same color family as Tom Ford Black Orchid and Bruised Plum.
First Time is a warm peachy pink nude that is is what would result if Blush Nude and Spanish Pink had a baby.
You will note from these swatches that Tom Ford's matte lipsticks definitely has some sheen, but make no mistake about it these are very long-wearing and richly pigmented.
Overall Assessment: I have such love for the new Tom Ford Lip Color Matte formula, and am just thrilled that aside from Black Dahlia and First Time that these are now part of the core line. I have never tried a better matte formula!

Ahh pretty pretty pretty :) I like how you can actually personalize the set, although I wish TF would give a small discount on it. I mean, there always is when you buy something in bulk, right? LOL
ReplyDeleteI agree, being able to personalize the set is really wonderful, but I do wish that Neiman Marcus did it online as well. I think that the sets at Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's aren't able to be personalized, and I don't know about Bergdorf Goodman, but you definitely can at the NM in Beverly Hills. I wish that TF offered a special deal on the sets, but I think the box itself is the bonus.
Deletegive me the bulk discount. i can find my own pretty box. i actually dislike it when it comes packaged in a beautiful box. it creates conflict inside our peaceful home. war ensues between my pack rat tendencies and my boyfriend's minimalist preferences. if you're going to give me a nice box, design it so it fits more than just your products so it can be more functional! otherwise, you're most likely contributing to landfill!
Deletewow sorry, rant over. i'm researching bathroom remodels and i think the box comment triggered some storage planning stress :P
p.s. another vote for First Time. it's beautiful and lust worthy
DeleteI know what you mean! Oh, bathroom remodeling is just so much fun to live through! We have one down and one to go! Are you planning to do it soon? I agree that First Time is a real stunner! got an email from Apple– my laptop is ready for pick up today! Fingers crossed nothing after the last backup wasn't lost!
Deletereally? did you like your contractor enough to recommend him? any tips? this will be my first major remodel and i'm very scared! i'm just meeting contractors and taking bids but considering the holidays, i'm guessing nothing will start until jan.
Deletewohoo! laptop returning home. what was wrong with it? hopefully everything is intact and it was still under warranty!
I acted as the general contractor and managed all of the subs. I definitely would not recommend doing this on your first remodel. We have done lots of remodeling, and among my husband's specialties is construction defect law. He has a lot of contractors that he knows and trusts, but most of them do really big projects instead of small residential stuff (I suspect that whenever we remodel our second bathroom that it will be too small a job for the people that he knows). I can ask him if he knows anyone who does small projects in the Pasadena area.
DeleteThe laptop is back– woohoo! It melted down while I was updating, and wouldn't charge or reboot.
that'd be helpful! thanks!
Deleteso did the stuff not backed up survive the trip to the genius bar?
I checked with him and he said that his clients do large scale jobs instead of small residential.:( Nothing was lost on my computer!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
DeleteWOW
ReplyDeletestunning. I am a bit speechless. I adore this.
xxxxxxxxxxx
It's a very lovely set, indeed! I am filled with glee every time I look at it and use it! xoxoxox
DeleteLust-alert! OMG I need a TF lippie asap. I love First Time the best, it is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean– I swoon every time I use one of his lipped. They make me deliriously happy! You definitely need one in your life! :-)
DeleteGimme all the Tom Ford lippies and I'm the happiest woman in the world :-)
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Kath!!!!!! :-)
Delete♥♥ beautiful colors!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely, and they are such a joy to wear! <3
DeleteI'm beyond jealous. They are absolutely stunners: the shades, the quality, the packaging. Enjoy showing them off. I hope you will whip one out and apply your lipstick at a restaurant ;)
ReplyDeleteI am such a huge fan of his lipsticks, and this formula certainly does not disappoint! The packaging is definitely quite distinctive. I haven't whipped it out in a restaurant, but I do in the car all of the time when I am sitting at a stop light– though I seriously doubt that anyone is noticing my hasty application!
DeleteSo decadent!
ReplyDeleteEverything about his lipsticks are decadent, that's for sure!
DeleteThese are stunning. I need to try some of these shades.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Laura! You really do!
DeleteGorgeous shades! Totally wouldn't mind finding this under the tree :D
ReplyDeleteI agree, Bailey! I would be thrilled to find it under the tree as well!
DeleteSo many pretty shades! I can´t believe I still haven´t tried any Tom Ford lipsticks.
ReplyDeleteHi Leelo, His lipsticks are amazing! You really need to try them at some point!
DeleteThe lipsticks are gorgeous ! <3
ReplyDeleteHi Betzy! They are even dreamier in person! <3
DeleteYou have me speechless. These lippies are so darn pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah, I feel the same every single time that I use them!
DeleteWaaaaaaaah what a guh-guh-gooorgeous gift set. I'd probably only wear First Time though (what a beauty) but still, I wouldn't be disappointed if someone gave me this.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, Isn't is stunning! I nearly fell over when I opened the box for the first time. Come to think of it, I feel that way every time that I open it! First Time would be gorgeous on you! You should definitely take a look at it when it launches in your city!
DeleteAh, there she is....my coveted Black Dahlia!!! What a beautiful gift set!
ReplyDeleteHi Dani! Black Dahlia is definitely worth coveting! It would look amazing on you!
DeleteTruly a luxurious gift. Agreed it would be nice if you could personalize online for those of us who don't have access to a store. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy, Sorry that I somehow missed this comment! It really is a very luxurious gift! It's nice that you can customize it in-store, but you and I both know that many people shop online either out of necessity or desire– so it would be so helpful if they could select the colors that they know that they would wear! :-)
DeleteGAH so pretty!!! I almost want to eat all of them they look so good lol. First time and Plum Rush are calling out my name. Thank you for the great pics and for sharing the info on these!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean– they are truly spectacular lipsticks! Those are both unbelievably gorgeous shades! Thank you for your kind – you are most welcome! I am so glad that you found this post useful! :-)
