Tom Ford Lips & Boys mini lipstick collection...ok, raise your hand if you already ordered!!! Originally I had decided I was only going to get 2-3. Then, magically, I had convinced myself I didn't need any. Then when they were available on the Nordstrom site, suddenly I I could feel that rush of pounding in my chest and in my ears. You know...where you are faced with your beauty ultimatums, only to falter...flutter...and fail miserably. Yep. That happened to me.

I suddenly had a few in my basket. Then a few more. Because...you know...I really had trouble deciding!! Anyway!! These only arrived last week and I have yet to wear any of them (I'm still working on the TF Matte Lipsticks that came out just before!!), but I wanted to get some swatches up to help anyone that's still trying to decide on colors. These will be available on December 26 in select stores and online sites. I think they are still available for preorder on the Neiman Marcus site...

Daylight bulb swatches: Tom Ford Lips & Boys in Flynn, Addison, Luciano, Cooper, Francesco, Xavier, Jack, Liam, Alasdhair - www.gummyvision.com

Daylight bulbs, heavily swatched.

As you can see, I leaned heavily toward the bright pinks! The only thing I have to note is that Alasdhair didn't seem as pigmented as the others. And while I wouldn't call it balmy, the texture wasn't what I was expecting for such a strong color.

Outside Winter sunlight, heavily swatched.

Please note, my sunlight swatches almost always look warmer than they will on most people. I can pull the red out of almost anything LOL + with the sun casting that golden glow, it's just warm all over :-P The other 2 pics are more color accurate.
