BAAAAAAAAAAAAGH YES IT IS W00 I ORDERED IT OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

[Cafemakeup]

Happy Monday (argh!)--so this hasn't gone up yet, am I right? I don't mind stalking but won't bother if this went up in the early hours and has already sold out. 

[jadeann]

It's now live!

[veronika23]

It says will be available the morning of May 2nd... so I guess anytime before noon PST if they stick to what they've said. Good luck everyone!

[sabrinas]

I dont think its gone up, but I know the nude color's description went from "coming soon" to "sold out" soooo Im not sure lol it was also like that when I checked at 4:30am EST.

[Cafemakeup]

Thank you for confirming what I remember from how it looked yesterday.

Yes, this is what worries me. Thank you for responding. I didn't get the 'in stock' email so it's hard to tell.

[krunce]

Ya I'm also really confused. After midnight on May 2nd this was "coming soon." I also never got an in stock e-mail. Now it's listed as "out of stock" at 7:30am EST.

[shortmegan]

Same here! I've been watching every 20 min or so since last night (no judging! I'm overseas...time change!) and all I've seen is that the status changed. I think it would be pretty much impossible for us to have missed it. 

[Nerisai]

Does anyone know what time these will be dropping tomorrow? I'm so ready to **bleep** up the nude one so I can use it for my wedding next week 😄

[veronika23]

@Nerisai it's live NOW!

[sabrinas]

@NerisaiLOLLL when I used that s word, mine also got bleeped... Who even uses it for any term other than "grab"?!?! Lmao!  No idea about what time tomorrow, but I will check right when I wake up (aka around 6:45am EST) and if it's not up, then I'll religiously stalk the website starting at 8am EST, aka when I start work.  Lucky me, I work on a computer from 8-5! Haha.

[Nerisai]

okay so... "sna tch" is bleeped......

[sabrinas]

Ok so I got a new phone today and the photos it takes are much better than before lol! Today I wore the nude cream highlighter, and ONLY that, and it stayed on well for 3 hours so far, even after touching my face and such 🙂 heres a photo!

[klbandy]

Your skin looks flawless! 🙂 Gorgeous

[veronika23]

Nice! Looks very subtle and natural 🙂

[Mochapj]

Beautiful!  I also love your beautymarks!

[sabrinas]

Aw shucks, thanks! I used to be self conscious of them lol.  They cover so much area on the one side of my face!  But as I got older I got to a point where I forgot they were there, so when people would mention them I'd get confused about what they were talking about haha.

I decided to test out both sets to see which one worked better for me. Maybe this will help someone deciding between the shades for the Sephora release.  

Nude is on the left, Golden on right

Stick duo only:

All three (stick duo + pigment):

Closer look at the color difference:

I thought the golden one would be too gold/dark after swatching it on my arm, but it actually works really well on my face.  For just the stick duo, I really like both sets. I found it easier to apply the balm first and then the cream highlight despite the directions. When I apply the balm second it disturbs the cream highlight and it can look patchy. 

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the pigment in the nude set. There isn't anything wrong with the product, I just don't find it all that flattering as a highlight.  I have nothing against a pink highlight, but this one just doesn't look that great on me.  To me it looks almost purple and that's probably why I don't like it. Maybe it will grow on me, maybe I'll try it as an eyeshadow. I'm hoping to make it work somehow since it's so pretty swatched. I definitely prefer the Dior Glowing Gardens in Pink to this pigment.

The Tom Ford Naked Bronze on my eyes though....not a single doubt in my heart about that product.

[shoegirly]

Thanks so much for the photos/comparison! They're very helpful... they definitely comfirmed that I still want both! ROFL

I'm trying very hard to reign myself in... I DO NOT NEED BOTH! 😄 Can anybody help talk me down, please?! I'm thinking that the gold will be gorgeous in the summer with a little bit of a tan/glow (more glow is always good, right?), and the nude will be beautiful during the rest of the year. 

[kso1225]

@shoegirly I won't be the one to talk you down....I say get both! I completely agree that the gold is great for the summer with a tan and the nude would work all year, at least that's how they pan out for my skin tone.

[spikeorrn]

This is really very helpful & thank you.  Both are pretty on you, IMO.   I can see the lavender in the nude but it is not coming across too purple.  Maybe it is a matter of undertones or trying it with different looks/blushes?  You have  really made me want the TF Bronze though.
