Have gotten some clarity on two lipsticks. Remember how someone asked about Cerise, well it was re-named Electric Pink. As Wild Orchid was renamed Velvet Violet. Lips and Boys is coming back. No clue if it is a new group or the re-promote from before. They are to arrive in the Fall.

I hope it's new colors although I wouldn't mind picking up a boy or two I missed out on the first time.
The only info being released right now a collection of Boy's is being released in the Fall. It could be a mix of old, new, or ???? Once I know I will post.

Got my tf package from my friend's today. The palette is huge. Surprised by how big the eyeshadow pans are in person. It is a bit tricky to open. The package is so vintage love it. It arrived in a gorgeous bright pink box from holt renfrew so that was pretty cute. Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.

Hello ladies! SO I have just begun what I know will be a long affair with TF...fell in love with his summer stuff from swatches, ordered some, and couldn't get enough, so I ordered more!!

My palette arrived today, and it's like it was made for me...loving the colors and how very wearable they are! I think my favorite part are the blush and highlighter blush...makes my cheekbones really pop.

I also have all the cream shadows but Black Oyster, and love them. Midnight Sea is so pretty, but you have to use like just a dot of product or you look like you splattered mud on your eyes. Naked Bronze is gorgeous but very dupable....if I had a counter by me and could have tried this, I may not have bought it given the price point, but like it well enough to keep. Golden Peach is to die for! So glad I snagged one...it gives me such a pretty eye look.

Last of my current haul is the cream blush. It's lovely, but I am a pale gal, so I could see it being more of a highlighter for ladies with darker tones. I found if you want a sheer wash of color and shimmer, use fingers. If I really want to have the color pop, I used a mac 130 brush and almost looked like a clown! Similar to NB, I'm not sure I would have bought if I had been able to play with it at a counter, but I like it enough to keep.

Now I just need to figure out the lipstick situation...I'm thinking Paradiso and Skinny Dip...my poor, poor wallet!

PS-Sorry for the novel, and the pics of you ladies are really pretty...everyone looks amazing in their stuff!

Ig you want a coral lip go for Skinny Dip, if you want a lovely pink go for Paradiso. It also depends what your skin tone is, if you can pull off Skinny Dip. I love it, my skin tone does not....

I played with the Pink Glow palette this morning. The MAC fluidline "Looking Good" is a perfect match for it!!!! Lovely burgundy with just a glisten of gold in it!!!! I also used Dior It-Pink mascara on the tips of my lashes after a coating of black mascara. Again perfection!!!!

My bronzer brush just arrived! Now which bronzer to use it with? It doesn't seem too big to me although I haven't used it yet. Definitely not as big as the Marc Jacob bronzer brush I have.

Or? I'm thinking 'and'? Haha! What is your skin tone like? I'm Mac N1/NARS Terre-neuve (edit bc my phone is stupid)...pretty darn neutral.

I am a MAC NW 10, Dior Nude Air 010, TF Alabaster. I am Casper with pink undertones. As in TF "cream" color foundation is way too dark on me. Never had a tan in my life. And not because I avoided, I only burn, as in less then 15 minutes in full sun.

Yes! I think I stated earlier in this thread that using MAC's looking good fluid line is my favorite liner to pair with the palette. It's simply a wonderful look, I agree.

I have found with Mr. Ford's products, it all depends on skin tone, more so then other brands. Negligee on me pulls to the orange side. Yet on others, it leans to more neutral or pink. For the shadows, if you want a good everyday palette Cocoa Mirage, it is still to this day the #1 seller in his line for shadows. Good matte shades, blends well, can go soft or layer for more drama. I love Cognac Sable, the darkest color on me pulls purple. But this is not an everyday palette, at least for me. Seductive Rose, lovely, but is not as neutral as Cocoa Mirage. Since I lost my virginity to Mr. Ford with Ice Queen, it is still my fav. Ice Queen with Bare lip shine, and Frantic Pink blush, just a lovely look. At least for this Pink Casper.....
I like Cocoa Mirage, but I usually don't go for an all matte shadow look even though that satin shade looks so pretty in the palette I would probably mostly combine it with other shadows. Cognac Sable is very pretty and I love the warmth, I was wondering if the darkest shade in the palette is close to the shade in Dior's Trafalgar palette. I have a pretty good eyeshadow stash and I have all bases covered for the most part except the purples. I have the hardest time finding quality purple shadows. So I think Seductive Rose should be the one... I wish I could swatch it, but there are no counters near me. I've seen so many beautiful looks with Ice Queen. I love admiring the looks since I can't pull of anything too cool toned or very gray.

The Mattes are back and with new colors on Nordies. Electric Pink, Velvet Violet.

My Neiman's SA called me about the Fall collection and promotions but I haven't called her back yet. My gift card is on the way so that'll be good timing.

I'm just transitioning into TF....are those the must haves?
giiiiiiiiiirl dont get me started!! im also new to this TF train so im fishing my way around and researchin to see what i need to try like asap but uuuuh pssssst **whispers n looks around**

watch out for that MEDDY gal cuz she's dangerous!! I almost pawned my son mason off for this dmn summer collection!!

My TF wishlist:
savage and ravish blush (i already got wicked and loooove it)
cocoa ravish
electric pink
pink dusk
blush nude
moroccan rouge
black dahlila or black orchid (these are like one in the same right?)
lust lip shine
nude dip and seductive rose palettes

Since i oversplurged with makeup these last 2 months im gonna chill and pay off 2 loans throughout the summer and fall THEN i'll treat myself to some things in my wishlist-i had to humble myself and grab some lippies from mac matte collection tho lol i was like ooooh $80 for 5 lippies wooooow i remember these days hahaha!! but honestly TF is worth it to me. i'd trade in all 5 of those lippies for a staple one (or 2) of TF's esp ones that i know i'll wear EVERYday. My list is slowly growing. i have deep mink, sable smoke (which i use more times than not), flame, paradiso and rose soleil. i think as a beginner u should do a neutral nude type shade and a POW i have arrived type shade-hence why i got flame!! Good luck and i'll see u in the ramen noodles section of the grocery store

Anybody here using the TF Traceless Perfecting Foundation? What are your thoughts? Is it worth it? And are any of you ladies NC43,44 or 45 using any Tom Ford foundation? What shade are you using?
