Sensational Formula, Exquisite Shade!

I'm an avid fan of everything Tom Ford-from the Eye Quads to Complexion as well as lips-this is my first purchase of the original Lip Color Formula(due to my never ending obsession with the Soleil Collection!) and it is everything you want in a luxury lipstick. The formulation is absolutely beautiful-Tom Ford knows how to do lipcolor! It glides on smoothly and your lips feel beautifully moisturized, and it never creases into lines. The bullet shape is perfect and you have a long lasting, full coverage formula that enhances your lips in the best possible-it really is a woman's 'perfect accessory' This was the first time I tried a bolder color in Tom Ford, and as always, Beautylish always strives to capture the actual tone, undertone and color swatched and worn on the lips. Primal is a sensational shade!

The Dream Luxury "NEW"Neutrals Set! This Life-Long Wayne Goss Fan is in LOVE!

When I saw Wayne was coming out with a new Collection for his brand and saw that is was an eye palette-I just couldn't wait. I'm a little late with my review since I pre-ordered, but I fell in love at first sight-even more so wheI remember how life changing it was for my makeup application when I purchased my first Wayne Goss brush. I went on to purchase all of his sets/releases because they are truly luxurious and the craftsmanship is so beautiful-just as the brushes allow you to have a bit of Wayne's artistry at your fingertips, this Luxury Eye Collection really does the same thing. I was so thrilled when I heard Wayne was working on a makeup line. I've been a big fan of his for a long time. Besides being so talented, he is so genuine, kind and thoughtful. Everything he creates is a labor of love, and he knows exactly how makeup works with the skin-this palette really is the epitome of his exquisite artistry. He wanted to create a palette that would be that indispensable, go-to palette that you can reach for and create SO many different looks. Wayne's knowledge of how makeup works with the skin and his techniques that make mastering beautiful eye looks easy really are evident in this palette. The shades are a gorgeous curation of shades that makeup those NEW NEUTRALS that we all need; whether you are a beginner or a pro or somewhere in between, you will love the curation of shades and finishes. I already had such high expectations for this release, but Wayne, as always, still..you took my breath away! The shadows are a dream to work with-ultra luxurious, highly pigmented and the formula is so refined, smooth and luxe-they really 'do the work for you' because they are designed to apply and lay down the perfect wash of color on the lid and they glide on like silk. The blendability is superior. No matter what kind of look you are trying to achieve, you can do it with this palette without having to reach for any other. The Eye Pencils are sensational. Again, that speaks to Wayne knowing what works and what doesn't and knows what a great formula is supposed to consist of-he then took it a step further! They apply so beautifully to the lid, without any pull or tug-the formula is rich and creamy and really gives you a gorgeous multi-dimensional, defined eye and lash look in concert with the shadows. I would try Wayne's trick of adding dimension to the lash using the darkest shade of shadow as close to the lashline with a push liner brush and then going over it with the pencil to really achieve a glamorous, impeccable look. They are very long wearing yet the look is so sophisticated and refined. Using Wayne's eye brushes with it allows you to pick up and lay down just the right amount of pigment where you want it, and to create looks that are just magical. Whether you are using the brushes from the Eye Set or the brushes that come with Anniversary II, and more, you will find the application to be such a dream. The Liner shades are stunning just like the shadows, and you'll find that the application and look is silky smooth and phenomenal. Again, the curation of each Liner shade really is designed to enhance all eye colors, and you can create the smoky look of your dreams, a simpler quick look for day, or a multi-faceted multi-dimensional look(whatever you desire!) That's what I love about the shadows-the ability to create that defined multi-dimensional look no matter if you lean towards modern or classic in your style. Thank you Wayne for this 'Labour of Love' You really put your heart and soul into everything and I'm so thrilled to own this Collection!

Purchase Every Shade!

I just wanted to supplement my previous review because I've been wearing Baie D'Hiver a lot this Summer. You do really get the Soleil glamour, and the really opulent, moisturizing feel. What is special about this shade is that it has a subtle hint of the pearl in it which is so beautiful and compliments so many different eye and lip looks. I love to use it either as a balm and let it set before I'll go in with liner, and then layer my lipstick and then add a little on top. You can also wear it all by itself and your lips will look and feel so luxe and hydrated. I use Paradisio in combination with any pink/rose shades I wear and again, it looks great on its own. With Baie d'Hiver, it's really nice to experiment. I recently purchased the Soleil Ultra Shine Lip Color in L'Eclisse-SUCH an elegant, gorgeous shade and finish. I would highly recommend pairing any of these with the L'Eclisse or a similar Ultra-Shine shade. You always get an elegant finish with any TF lip product.

Elevated, Luxurious Formula and Finish; An Absolute Must-Have!

When I saw these two new Tom Ford releases upcoming, I was so excited-I have been so impressed with every Tom Ford complexion product I've tried. As Tom Ford says himself, a flawless complexion is key to creating your entire look...From the Primer to the Powders and Cheek Shades(cream and powder) to the Traceless Foundations, I fell in love. But when I saw the description of Shade and Illuminate(in this case Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Cushion Compact) I was expecting a luxurious, elevated formula and finish, and that is exactly what you get with this product. This is actually my very first Cushion Compact Foundation, and the way in which the product just melds so beautifully into the skin to give you a luminous, fresh, youthful finish really blew me away. You can feel the luxurious ingredients in the formula in how it gives you the best of both worlds- gorgeous, buildable coverage that still allows you to achieve a flawless, luminous complexion complexion; but also a very natural 'second skin' finish. That is what one wants to achieve with foundation-you want to your skin to look like skin-fresh, healthy polished. It wears very well and the application is SO easy. The applicator that comes with it picks up exactly the right amount of product and you can go back in if you need more. As I mentioned, it blends flawlessly and 'melds' into the skin. Simply impeccable! The compact it comes in-case included-is so elegant and is the epitome of luxury. Yes, the price is higher than Tom Ford's previous foundations, but the formula and the performance completely justifies that investment. When you re-purchase it, you will only have to purchase the refill which is very nice as well! It's an absolute delight and I couldn't recommend it more wholeheartedly. I'm now looking forward to purchasing the Shade and Illuminate Liquid Foundation-thank you to the amazing Beautylish Team for continuing to ship products so quickly despite everything right now!

The Luxury and Glamour You Adore from TF!

My goodness I have loved everything Tom Ford from foundation/complexion to eye to and fragrance and of course lip. I had never tried Ultra-Shine Lip Color, and I’m also a big fan of Soleil releases, and when I saw L’Eclipse it was just what I was looking for. The formula is pure luxury. The way you get a lovely cocoon of moisture and gorgeous, smooth, brilliant color so beautifully and easily is wonderful. Even though it’s a high shine lip color you get really lovely saturation too. An ultra-luxurious application and finish. It can easily be built up too if you want more color. The applicator is simply stunning-it’s form and function. The bullet is a beautiful large oval, which facilitates easy and lovely, luxe application. L’Eclisse is a sensational color choice. It is exactly true to its description. Beautylish always shows true to color swatches and looks, so you can feel confident in your choice. The lipstick performs beautifully, and it’s well worth the investment! I can’t wait to shop more shades in both the new and permanent collection!

Creamy, Luxe, Blushed Perfection!

I received this wonderful product as a birthday/Christmas gift along with some other fantastic products from the Soleil Neige Collection: The Quads in Soleil Neige and Soleil et Lune, and the Clutch Lip Balms in Baie D'Hiver and Paradisio. I think this is my favorite Soleil collection to date. Every product in it is full of the inspiration that Tom Ford set abut creating: the look and feeling of sun on fresh snow. The Shade and Illuminate Glow Stick is ultra-luxurious in both look and feel. I chose the Soleil Neige shade which is perfect for my neutral fair complexion. I prefer a sophisticated, more subtle look when it comes to blushes and products to illuminate the face. That is exactly what this product imparts-a gorgeous, luxe, sheer glow with a pop of superb ultra flattering color. It really flatters with a lit from within glow and really gives your cheeks lovely dimension. It has superb blendability and just melds into the skin perfectly over foundation(I tend to use Tom Ford Traceless Stick Foundation or Surratt's Dew Drop).. You can use each seperately but I love the look of the two shades together-they are a perfect combination. I apply the Illuminate to my upper cheekbones and then I apply the blush shade underneath, using my Wayne Goss Brush #12 and they blend to a flawless finish. I also recommend using the Illuminate shade in the cupid's bow and on the inner and outer corner of your eyes. Voila! It really gives you such a glamorous yet sophisticated, luxe look and you don't have to worry about it enhancing flaws or pores-the formula is exquisite. So glad that Beautylish has re-stocked this! Don't hesitate to get it since it's Limited Edition!

These Will Take Your Breath Away-Now that They've Restocked Don't Hesitate!

Firstly, I was absolutely in love with this collection at first sight-the inspiration of Soleil Neige(which means Sun(shining on) the Snow-that brilliant fresh inviting light and color with cool yet richly captivating tones...That was Tom Ford's inspiration-so I was super excited when I received both (01) Soleil Neige and (02) Soleil Lune as a gift! When I saw they had restocked I was eager to review them!-They absolutely bring to life the beautiful color story of the collection and reflect the majestic quality that makes TF palettes so excellent. Those of you like myself who are fans of TF palettes and products will know the exquisite quality, but I still believe that these palettes will still surpass your expectations. The luxury of the pigments and the way they apply to the eye soft as silk with a amazing color saturation but also impart such a sophisticated multi-dimensional quality is incredible. That is true for his other quads as well, but these have even more of a finesse in the texture that is absolutely sublime and is fitting Winter Soleil. In both of the palettes, you really see that the shades complement the finishes perfectly and they allow you such a multi-faceted creative opportunity. In photographs they are beautiful but when you see them in person they are just sublime. In Soleil Neige(1) the way that the ethereal, gorgeous white provides a fresh contrast to the satiny, smoky taupe, shimmery royal blue and charcoal is just such a sublime combination. The way the shadows perform is so pristine, and the added sophistication and finesse really shows in the finish-and in the multi-dimensional quality is so superb. You get the supreme luxury and pigmentation that you can customize to create your own gorgeous look-as they shadows are very buildable. For Soleil Et Lune, it is exactly the same-the shades and finishes combine to create such an elegant and luxe finish. I think you will find this palette to be perfect for both winter and spring-again, I was really blown away with how the shades are exquisite alone, but really come together in such a harmonious way. The shades in Soleil Et Lune have a bright, refreshing etheral quality and have such a refined elegance when applied, and the canvas is there for you to create a much more saturated look or a softer look, or go somewhere in between. The lovely ivory, with the shimmering topaz, the grey-green and the soft green(the finesse is there for you to able to build upon and amplify the look to make it what you desire-simply a multi-dimensional masterpiece, as is Soleil Neige. These are absolutely true to Mr. Ford's focus on unparalleled luxury and vision for the inspiration for this collection.

Luxurious Mascara: Luxurious Spectacular Lashes

I was very excited to try this mascara-I always heard it was sensational and I absolutely think a beautiful mascara is worth the splurge. I of course had high expectations because Sisley-Paris products are exceptional. My expectations were exceeded-and that is saying a LOT. Spluge-worthy it is indeed! The formula is superb-it's rich, lush, and lovely(I've tried mascaras whose formulas are dry-even though they would lengthen or add some volume to the lashes I really wouldn't see any glamour or payoff because they weren't pigment rich silky) So Volume is the polar opposite! Not only is the formula ultra luxe, the way in which it adheres SO beautifully to the lashes and creates volume and dimension is remarkable. The formula is very rich, but there is absolutely NO clumpiness! Since I like to play with shadow looks, I love a dramatic lash look. If you apply from the base of your lashes, you get the beautiful pull which glides on like silk-and with even ONE COAT-you get length, volume, drama that is really breathtaking-with lashes that look incredible! You can also use the brush horizontally which is great. I like to do two coats to really set it but you can do as many as you like and it won't clump. It also lasts beautifully. It really enhances your look and gives your eyes the most beautiful dimension. I find that it does give lovely curl as well as volume too! I will try the So Curl version at some point but as Alexis said, this has not let me down, and it is now the only mascara I use, everyday and evening! I definitely encourage you to take the plunge and try it!

Another Brilliant Palette from Natasha!

I am someone who is a huge Natasha fan and own almost every one of her palettes. If you are thinking about buying for the first time, this is an excellent palette to start with-and if you are a die hard fan, you will adore it all the same! For those not familiar with her formula, that is the #1 thing that makes her palettes unparalleled. The quality of the pigments is so fine, it truly does the work for you. You also have the beautifully curated selection of shades and finishes that are meant to work in harmony. Natasha is such an artist and she is spectacular at giving you a palette with a luxurious, beautiful formula-the way she selects finish/shade/ and it's placement in the palette is what makes each stunning. Metropolis really exemplifies this. You can create a huge variety of looks by using just 3 or 4 different shades or do a more experimental, abstract look that's true to you by going across the palette. I disagree with some of the other reviewers in terms of the color story being similar to other palettes in her collection or needing to revise it. It really rings true to it's name, Metropolis-and the shades are completely distinct from any other palette in her collection. The color story is VERY intentional and defined and it does not mirror any of her other palettes. Secondly, you can't 'dupe' a Natasha palette because of the quality. Because of the fine pigments, the way it melds into the skin with the ease and saturation of a cream with powder blendability is something you can not find. Since this palette's shades are of a smaller size, you are still getting the same number of shades you would get in a bigger palette. This is a really nice feature because you don't need to use a lot of shadow on the brush. In fact, that's the beauty of the formula. Also, I adore her Holiday palettes because they include the CP (Cream Powder) formula which is a true Cream Powder pigment and is so exceptional to work with. Soft, lush, dreamy application and beautiful saturation. You do only need a small amount of pigment and allowing it to really meld into the eye really benefits you. Every shade gives you such ease with application, you can just enjoy it! The CP shades really give you a unique experience, however. You can only find it in her Holiday palettes. I adore this uniquely stunning palette! It's also the perfect palette for a gorgeous Holiday look yet still gives you the range for looks all year round. Tip: I apply her shadows with my Wayne Goss Eye Brushes but depending on the look you are creating, some finsishes/shades do benefit from a finger application-namely the CK shades and even the CP shades. I do think that every palette Natasha releases does reveal a whole new level of excellence, and this palette is a prime example! Don't hesitate.

ULTRA Luxurious Experience with EXQUISITE Results

I was excited to treat myself to this product for my Birthday and as with all of the Mila Moursi products I have tried and now swear by-it exceeded my great expectations! Because you freeze the product before use, you feel the immediate sensorial experience of the product's beautiful actives refreshing and cooling your skin. I used it after my regular cleansing with the Cleansing Mousse and PH Balancing Toner. After fully melted, I left the product on for over 5 minutes as instructed before applying my moisturizer(which happens to be Mila's Dual Action Serum) The great thing about this Serum is that it is an Infusion that gives you both immediate AND long term results. Immediately, my skin looked and felt refreshed and refined, pores and tone/texture smoothed and minimized, and I also saw the gorgeous clarity and translucency that comes with using Mila Moursi skincare. The other aspect I absolutely LOVED was being able to use it in the undereye area. I tend to get dark circles/puffiness and my eyes looked and felt refreshed and rejuvenated. It is absolutely rejuvenating for your skin in general. It also absolutely helped create a flawless canvas for smooth, beautiful makeup application. In fact, even though I first used it for the evening of my birthday dinner and I wanted fuller coverage than I normally opt for-I found myself having to use very little foundation/concealer because my skin already looked so fresh and flawless. I agree with the other reviewer, it truly IS a Miracle in a Cube! Treat yourself, you won't be disappointed with the exquisite results.
