Tom Ford Slim Lip Color Shine ($50, Nordstrom)
I initially purchased 2 light neutral shades, Iconic Nude and Rose Corset. They were very nice and pretty as any Tom Ford lipstick should be for its not-so-pretty price, but I didn't think they were very special.
BUT, the more I wear these lipsticks, the more I love the formula. It is a cross between Tom Ford Classic Satin and Tom Ford Ultra Shine. It feels creamy yet lightweight. I wore this lipstick one day and talked at a Zoom meeting for 4 hours, usually, my lips would have been parched no matter what I wear or how much water I drink, but this lipstick stayed on beautifully and kept my lips hydrated. I also think these very fine, almost undetectable pearls in these lipsticks make them look even more beautiful on the lips. Enters the third shade, Velvet Tux.
The lipstick bullet is indeed very slim (a good friend of mine calls it a "kid's lipstick" but the lipstick case is so long and rigid that I personally think kids would poke their eyes out. LOL). If you have smaller lips or want precise applications, you will enjoy these.
Iconic Nude is a light nude with a peachy undertone. Rose Corset is a rosy nude shade with a warm undertone and looks quite lovely on the lips. Velvet Tux is a sophisticated berry shade.
These colors look somewhat similar to a couple of Tom Ford Ultra Shine lipsticks I own so I made a comparison. I am relieved to find no real dupe here.
You are getting an insanely small amount of lipstick here since it is only about 1/3 of the standard size of a Tom Ford lipstick, but I am actually a bit excited about the thought of finishing a lipstick, which has not happened to me in over a decade.
Overall, more pros than cons. I would recommend trying these out for the impressive formula and the exterior.
