Tom Ford Crimson Noir & Casablanca Review and Swatches

I have been eagerly awaiting the beginning of Fall. Not only does it mark the beginning of the festivities and holidays (and my birthday ;) but it also means darker hues, boots, and my Burberry handbag. I know it's not officially Fall yet but since Starbucks released their Fall signature drink; Pumpkin Spice Latte...it is in my mind.

New season means new lippies also, right? I knew you guys would agree with me! I decided to splurge a little this time and picked up 2 Tom Ford lipsticks. I had been eyeballing this line of lippies for some time now and decided to head over to Saks to see what they carried. I had an idea of the colors that I wanted (Pink Adobe or Indian Rose) but when I got there Crimson Noir was calling my name, I just had to try it on and it was GORGEOUS. I hear that's called Love at first sight. 

 They didn't carry Pink Adobe so I was going to get Indian Rose but then I spotted Casablanca and it just screamed Fall Pink. It also suited my olive/tan skin tone a lot better than Indian Rose did.

So that's how I ended up with these babies






The last lipstick I tried on at the store was Casablanca and I left it on my lips while I continued to shop. The formula is extremely moisturizing, definitely on par with my beloved YSL Rouge Volupte, maybe slightly better...Gaaaaspp* Yes I said it!

 To my surprise and delight the formula is also a lot longer lasting than the YSL. I had forgotten the lipstick was still on my lips and when I got home, 4 hours later, I glanced in the mirror and noticed that Casablanca was still visible.

Casa Blanca
 The packaging is so luxurious and I just love the way it feels in my hands when I'm applying it.

Crimson Noir
These lipsticks are definitely a splurge but I think I'm hooked. They retail for $49 and you can find them at most high end department stores including: Saks, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus.

You can probably find similar colors in less expensive line but the formula is unlike anything that I have ever tried. If you find yourself near a Tom Ford counter, you must try it for yourself.



I leave you with some swatches :)

 I would love to hear your opinions on the Tom Ford line.

      Thank you! When my husband saw the photos he was like, "WOW, how did you take those" My camera and lens are pretty big so it was not the most comfortable position LOL. A fellow blogger can appreciate it :)

      Just to warn you, they are highly addictive! It's only been a week and you can no longer see the TF imprint on my Casablanca lipstick. I've been wearing every single day!
