Tom Ford Obsessed

Tom Ford Matte Lipstick in Velvet Cherry

If you've been watching my youtube channel, you'd know I've succumbed to a new obsession, a rather extravagant and expensive one... Tom Ford Beauty. 

This season I'm all about bold red lips and the new matte lipsticks from Tom Ford are just to die for! They go on super smooth, incredibly pigmented, rich, long lasting, fades well, and does not dry out my lips. I can wear them comfortably all day, which is saying a lot when it comes to matte lipsticks and myself. 

Can't afford a $50 lipstick? Honestly who can? I'd have to say Maybelline's new matte lipsticks are a nice dupe in the formulation. 

Next up is this whipped beauty. This is the limited edition cream eyeshadow in spice. If you like simple eye makeup, GO GET THIS NOW! A tiny bit goes a long way! I mean it! You'll only need the smallest amount to cover both eyelids. I like to use my fingers and blend it all over my lids into the crease. The dark bronze shade adds depth and a put together eye look that takes less than a minute. 

I also recently caved and purchased platinum as well. I have to say spice is still my number one pick. Platinum might be a better choice if your super fair with light eyes and hair. 

The item that I really say is worth every penny is the defining liquid eyeliner pen. This is a dual end pen. One side is a bunch of tiny fibers bound together in the most pigmented, smooth, liquid liner formula I've ever tried. I was able to draw a perfect winged line at the makeup counter with a the mirror a few feet from me, this never happens! I'm usually up agains a mirror spending 10min on one eye. Shocked at how great this liner worked, I had to have it. Since this baby has come home with me I haven't gone a day without using it when wearing makeup. 

The smaller end is perfect for reaching your inner corner without a mess. Also great to sharpen the edges of a dramatic wing. 

These three items set me back a little over $150, but I haven't been able to put them down since I purchased them. In my mind if I can use these products everyday with such joy and anticipation, it's worth the splurge. Of course this means I'm banned from makeup shopping for awhile.

Would you pick any of these items up?

To see these products in action, check out my channel. I've been featuring them in lots of favorites videos and will be sharing my current everyday makeup look next week.

Tom Ford Cocoa Mirage Dupe ON SALE!

I'm a major sucker for high end makeup products. My latest obsession... anything Tom Ford. 

Tom Ford Eye Color Quad 03 Cocoa Mirage

Swatch using my fingers. See photos below. 

This is what was left after the swatch on my arm. Talk about staying power. 

If your a makeup lover you can appreciate the quality and thought gone into each Tom Ford product. The packaging is sleek and functional. It feel expensive and luxurious. The color pay off from the shadows are rich, creamy, and blend able. 

Cocoa Mirage was my pick since I'm forever a neutrals gal. Anything that seems a bit more practical when one is spending $79 before tax on 4 eyeshadows is a must. Cocoa Mirage is the most basic and beautiful neutral palette I've come across lately in the high end makeup lines. 

There is just a  touch of shimmer and sheen. No crazy disco ball palette here. The shades are incredibly wearable and perfect for any woman. You can take the palette from day to night, natural to smokey. 

If you can't justify spending $80 on a palette, I have good news! One of my favorite neutral palettes is on sale for $16 and if your a Sephora VIB you can get an additional 20% off right now! I did a whole review and makeup tutorial using the Pulp Fiction Palette from Urban Decay. I'm also giving one away in my latest Friday Favorites Video. 

I HIGHLY encourage you to purchase the Pulp Fiction Palette while you still can and at such an amazing price! The shadow quality is better than most Urban Decay eyeshadows including all the naked palettes. The formulation is rich, creamy, and super pigmented. 

Watch my full review & tutorial video here.

Look at the comparison of both palettes. You also get an extra 2 shade in the Pulp Fiction one. Urban Decay is on top and Tom Ford is on bottom. 

Also don't forget to enter my giveaway in today's video. You can have a chance to win your own Limited Edition Pulp Fiction eyeshadow palette. 

XOXO
