So, a little while ago I finally broke down and ordered some Tom Ford lipsticks, and while I was talking to Alma she asked for some swatches and I figured I'd share them with you all as well! There's also an Inglot gel liner in the mix, as she asked for a swatch of that as well.

Tom Ford Lipstick in Bruised Plum

Now, starting with the eyeliner. I quite like the texture of it, it feels a bit glossy and slippery until you apply it, and then it dries matte. It's an awesome formula, as I'm sure everyone on here has already been told, but I'm really impressed with it. The only thing I don't necessarily love is how you have to build up the color. It's really awesome though, I also have a picture of it when I tried to rub it off with a tissue, and it didn't budge. It's an awesome color, too, very red and not at all pinkish like some red eye products can be (I'm lookin at you, BH Cosmetics). I look forward to playing with it more.

The lipsticks...I don't even know where to begin. I'm so, so happy that I broke down and got them. They're all fantastic colors, and I love the finish. They're more of a satin finish, they all look very nice and shiny, though not overly so like a lipgloss would. I also love the color selection, especially the shades I ended up with. All of the shades are super creamy and glide on without any effort at all, and that's a huge win for me. I also love how pigmented they are, so much so that I find that I only need one coat to achieve the darkest possible shade of that color. Again, really impressive. I also like the way they smell, it's almost like vanilla. They do tend to stain your lips a bit (which I don't think is a problem, that means I can reapply less often), but they come off easily if rubbed with a tissue, and even more easily with makeup remover. I'll also post a picture of me wearing Violet Fatale, as it's probably my favorite of the 3.

Let me know if you have any more questions or would like swatches of them on my lips :) I'm happy to oblige.

I know, Renay! I like it nonetheless, it's more of a summery dark color. The Inglot liner is gorgeous I'm so impressed with it, I just wish I had more opportunity to use it.
