I'm finally excited about a release again. The summer stuff didn't really speak to me. I love the illuminating highlighters, the lipstick called So Vain and the Autumn eye color. 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx for posting Kate 🙂 Darn it Tom! I'm on budget on Sep til Nov. if I still have some money left, I'd pick up the cream eyeshadow and the illuminating duo.

[meganlisa]

Kate, thank you I think!  Heading there now...!

[greenchilli]

He has lipsticks!!  I think I see 7 or 8 shades with my name on it. 

I might be interested in one or two cream shadows (I don't wear them often enough). 

But I will pass on all other items.  Yay for me!

[lipstick4soul]

WOW. Just when I thought I had reached saturation point with lusting after TF. 

[lipstick4soul]

I have an extra Paradiso that I was going to return, but PM if you were looking for it and it was sold out. 

FYI- I ordered from Nordstrom and ordered was cancelled so I got it from Neimans. Nordstrom ended up shipping it anyway. It isn't used or swatched, I just don't want a backup. 

[lipstick4soul]

Paradiso found a new home

[greenchilli]

I might want to try this!

[greenchilli]

I promised to do a comparitive arm swatch - so here it is:

Top - NARS Audacious in Janet

Middle - Tom Ford Violet Fatale

Bottom - Bite Beauty 004

NARS Janet: Lost some light.  Colour is a bit richer.

Tom For Violet Fatale:

Bite 004:

- They are all long lasting and staining.  

- Bite and NARS have a thicker/semi matte formula.  Violet Fatale is the traditional TF luminous formula and has more sheen. 

- VF might be the most staining.

- Bite is the most opaque (although they all are really)

I like them all.  TF is the most forgiving on the lips.  I always exfoliate, but Bite and NARS can show any dry bits sooner.  I will post lip swatches if I can later.

[MK89]

they are all so stunning on you!! No wonder you always go for these colors 😉 I think Bite 004 is my favorite!

[greenchilli]

Thanks MK!

I do like all three very much.  But Violet Fatale is my perfect combination of colour and formula.  It was also my first Tom Ford lipstick - it is very special to me. 

I have a few more that are similar in shade, but a tad bit lighter.  I have an arm swtach picture but have no idea which is which. 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx GC. Nars has gorgeous colors but the lippies tends to be super dry on my lips. So are Mac. Sigh.

[greenchilli]

BK, I am with you.  The NARS Audacious are a hit or miss for me.  Janet is the most comfortable on my lips, but some others have been a bit drying. 

I like Mac Amplified Cream and they are great.  I have yet to wear one of their mattes.  Are you talking about the mattes?

[blackkitty2014]

No I haven't dared to try Mac for a while now. I bought couple lippies (the latest one was Sushi kiss). It is gorgeous but just liked those before it, it is so dry on me 😞 I used to hoard a bunch of their Mineralized line until I started to got some allergic reaction to them 😞 every time I wear that line, I got a bunch of little bumps on my face 😞

A bit off topic, do you have the Givenchy312 Violine Précieux- berry rose GC?

[greenchilli]

BK, I don't hav ethe Givenchy Violine Précieux.  I had picked up the Rose Précieux instead (during the 15% sale).  The Rose is pretty, but a bit boring 😜

Violine looks pretty, but I wondered if it might be a bit dull on me (not bright enough).  Not many swtaches online...

[MK89]

Hi ladies! I have Violine Precieux, let me know if you want to see a swatch 🙂 it's a muted Berry color on me 

[greenchilli]

Yes please MK!

Also, what is the shade most similar to?  Can you also do an arm swatch?  I know...very needy 🙂

[MK89]

Yes I will try to do that at some point today 🙂 It's almost exactly the same as Bite Zin, not sure if you have that one, with the Bite being a little less opaque. I think it is much more muted on me than other berries I have (an everyday kind of color), but I will look through my stash and see if I have any comparison swatches I can do!

[greenchilli]

MK, I have Bite Zin.  It is a nude on me!

I thought Violine was very purple berry....hmmmm.

[MK89]

Ok here you go, sorry the sun has been kind of shy lately so I missed the sunniest part of today! I tried to get a lip swatch but it looks too washed out to be accurate. It turns out I do have some similar lipsticks (oops lol), but I do not have Zin anymore to compare it to. I just remember that when I layered Zin a bit it ended up being almost exactly the same. Swatches are in natural light:

 

L-R: NARS Audrey, NARS Afghan Red, Givenchy Violine Precieux, Marc Jacobs Cabernet.

Audrey is redder, Cabernet is more purpley. Afghan Red is the most similar, but it is a little less muted, and a little more pinky-red. 

Here is a picture with me wearing it a while ago, where it does look a little nude-ish but was kind of washed out. In reality it's a bit more pink/berry:

On my lips, it translates as a soft berry color, but it is difficult to capture on camera. I hope my swatches helped somewhat, I'm kind of new to doing them 😉 Let me know if you want other comparisons or whatever!

[blackkitty2014]

Oh thx you MK. I thought it was deeper berry 😞
