I was super psyched when I found out per chance when browsing though Sephora online that they now stock Tom Ford cosmetics and perfume. The debut was April 1 online, and coming soon April 1. However, I was still not totally sold on Tom Ford’s cosmetics since I tend to be pretty loyal to Chanel and Guerlain. The promotion code, ROUGENOTE, was supposed to be valid starting 1. AM Pacific time, but I think it began! I knew what I wanted and checked out fast, besides the selection is small with only the Soleil 2. For the first time, I was also really impressed with how fast Sephora had shipped these out and my package arrived the next day! What did I purchase? X Tom Ford Ultra- Rich Lip Color lipsticks. X Tom Ford Skin Illuminator in Fire Lust. X Alterna Caviar Replenishing Moisture Shampoo. X Alterna Caviar Replenishing Moisture Conditioner. I’ve heard of how bold and saturated Tom Ford’s lipsticks are in the permanent collection, so I really wanted to try the Ultra- Rich lipsticks. However once I tried them on. Even relative to my Chanel and Guerlain products, they were all kinda sheer. These days, I just want a pure colour, no fancy light reflecting stuff unless it’s very refined? I used to have very oily skin in my teens, then my skin changed to combo with age which allows me to discover various highlighters these days because in the past I steered far away from anything shiny. Especially in the winter when my skin is parched dry and pale, I like to give it a radiant glow to remind me of the summer days. I heard rave reviews of this Skin Illuminator which is why I purchased two of them! I haven’t tried them on my face yet, but on application to the back of my hand, it’s a sheer wash of. I’ve made a comparison swatch relative to similar products from Guerlain, Giorgio Armani, and Laura Mercier. My ratings on various parameters are as below: Colour pigments: Tom Ford > >. It’s not glitter but a little too prom- like for me and makes me a bit white- washed in shade 2. Laura Mercier technically does not have any shimmer, but it has a very “radiant” glow which is really beautiful. Guerlain has the tiniest pearly shimmer ever and is definitely the most natural. Texture: Tom Ford > Laura Mercier > Giorgio Armani > Guerlain. Guerlain is definitely the most sheer and has a bit of a watery jelly. The collection has been around since 1. I absolutely love this stuff and who can say no to those beautiful pearl beads that magically dissolve with each pump? Yes it’s an old technology, but still gets me feeling giddy like a girl. However if you have a special event in the summer and want a bit more “glow,” I would recommend Laura Mercier for the daytime; and either Tom Ford or Giorgio Armani for the night. Depending on how your skin tone is, I can imagine that Tom Ford’s illuminator will look great on very fair skin that needs a pinch more of a rosy colour whereas if your cheeks are already pretty pigmented or you wish to apply the product all over like the bridge of your nose, eyebrow, or forehead I would recommend Giorgio Armani’s because it’s more of a highlighter that. Sometimes I get more excited. I was looking forward to try Josie Maran’s Argan Oil foundation which sounds pretty interesting, but I was not impressed despite all the good reviews. My hands are very dry and you can see the emphasis on fine lines all over my middle finger which is actually worse in real life than what this picture shows. The application was poor and overall extremely drying and blotchy in appearance. I also bought 2 large bottles of Alterna Caviar Replenishing Moisture shampoo and conditioner. No pictures but this is my favourite hair brand for the past year. I absolutely swear by this brand and their products make my hair silky soft without stripping the moisture or colour. So with 1. 5% off, I had to get the large value size to last for the next year! I’m also really excited to try the deluxe Alterna Caviar CC Cream for Hair 1. Complete Correction which I’ve heard amazing transformations of hair and styling. Thank you for letting me share again! And remember that the promo runs until April 1. Have a great weekend.
