@blackkitty2014 @k617 @greenchilli Thanks so much ladies! Elliot is also my favorite, though Christopher is a close second 😄

[blackkitty2014]

Wow! All look good @TriesToBoClassy. But these gals are right, Eliot is a handsome fellow for you

[k617]

@TriesToBoClassy Elliot looks great on you! So do the others, but I like that one on you best!

[greenchilli]

@TriesToBoClassy

Very pretty!  I like Elliot on you a lot.

I have a question about Tom Ford lipsticks. I have been looking at a few I want to get - but I already have a big lipstick collection. I have been hearing that Tom Ford lipsticks go bad fast - so is it really worth spending the money on - or should I Save my Tom Ford wishlist until after I have used up some of what I have now. On average how long does everyone's TF Lipsticks last .

[TraceyEB]

My first foray into Tom Ford lipsticks was at a small counter that only sold TF lipstick and perfume. I asked for 3 recommendations and bought one that day. I've since bought all 3 recommended and really like the smaller sizes. Negligee is one of my favorites and is showing signs of turning, so I'm wearing it as regularly as I can (it's great everyday shade). I prefer the smaller sizes where possible because I like buying new shades.

[Mochapj]

@LWard930 I have +/- 60 TF lipsticks and the only ones that have gone 'off' quickly are brownish nudes (casablanca, deep mink, Coco Ravish, noticed this week my Gustavo is starting to turn) 

basically they start smelling waxy and lose the vanilla scent.

[greenchilli]

I agree with @Mochapj

Negligee/Richard, Casablanca/Cary come to mind.  

I don't wear nudes, so if I lose one...I just assume the world is telling me something.

@LWard930

I would suggest testing the shades at a counter and picking one lipstick to purchase.  In fact, get one that is well loved by the customers.  I am sure folks on BT could suggest one if you have shades you prefer.

That will give you an idea if you like the formula, and if the cost doesn't make it unappealing.  I wouldn't buy more than one to test the brand...especially if you already have some concerns.

I find the TF lipsticks to be no better or worse than other brands in terms of lasting.  Some colours over perform, and every so often a lipstick might turn sooner than anticipated.

[LWard930]

Thank you @greenchilli - I was specifically looking at the Solaei Lip foils -

[Libellules]

@LWard930 The lip foils are a new product, so longevity remains to be seen. However - I have 2 and I LOVE them. Seadragon is beautiful, and great if you love reds, but I'm especially fond of Aperture. It has a gorgeous iridescent shimmer that includes blue and teal. Really special.

[LWard930]

Thank you. I was looking at seadragon. I might have to get one with my 25/50 coming up

[greenchilli]

@LWard930

I don't own any of the Lip Foils, but I'm sure others here could comment on the formula/shades.  

@Libellules@k617 and others.....

So I've finally gotten sucked into Tom Ford and ordered Ben. Something about all the posts about other BTers getting gratis made me feel a little left out and wanted to see the hype.

I seriously love Tom Ford's perfumes but....I don't think I love the boys 😔 Well I expected the lippie to be small but....I feel a little crazy spending $35 on something so small. I get Tom Ford is a luxury brand but I wasn't really wowed by this lippie. I probably overhyped it in my mind (I don't see how a lippie could wow me at this point, I have wayyyyy too many to count lol) and thought it would be perfection. I think I need to play with it again but I'm not giving up hope. I want to try another, maybe one of the shimmery ones (suggestions 😊)I'll post a pic of me wearing Ben too.

[TraceyEB]

I'm sorry the shade isn't working out for you. I had a similar experience with a Charlotte Tilbury shade that looked good on many but one's lip color played a role into how the shade pulled.I now use it to tame brighter shades.

I'm sure I read on Temptalia that the price per oz is cheaper with the "boys" compared to the full size lipsticks. I've been able to affordably add to my collection by buying TF lipsticks at the Cosmetic Company Outlet where they're sold at a discount.

[LWard930]

@TraceyEB How much are they at the cosmetics company outlet. I have one near my house but I didn't know they had Tom ford. Mine is hit or miss. For a year they carried Mac Fix plus then one day they just didn't have any for the longest time so I haven't really been back to the store near my house in a long time

[TraceyEB]

Hi @LWard930, Tom Ford items are fairly new to CCOs. The full size lipsticks have been in the $30s for the boys size in the high $20s. I think the discount is approx. 30% off the retail price. Because stock can fluctuate or stagnate at my CCO, I tend to call to see what they have in stock, asking for the names of the lipsticks, quads, blushes so I can decide if it's worth drive.

[sabrinas]

@LWard930 The ones at my location(s) are in the mid 30's for the lipsticks! I need to check it all out again soon since the one outlet mall has an Off Saks which has a giant makeup section (including tom ford, mac, bobbi brown, smashbox, estee lauder, bumble&bumble, etc) and theres a separate cosmetics company store which has all the same stuff! 

[TraceyEB]

I would never think to look at a Saks off Fifth for cosmetics. Next time I see one, I'll be sure to stop in. Thanks for the head's up!

[txcatx]

Good to know; thanks! I have one coming in the mail tomorrow because I also had to try one after seeing everyone's posts, but I'm holding back on buying more until I see the size and try the formula. Glad I didn't impulse buy a bunch of new lipsticks.
