Yes I have just confessed love to a lipstick but I feel comfortable with you guys. You wouldn't judge would you?
I have longed to get this baby since forever and it has been on both of my lipstick wishlist posts(first and second). I finally caved at Dubai Duty Free on my way to Estonia and I think this will be my favorite summer makeup purchase of the year. I have worn it a lot and you can see me sporting it every other day in the vlog as well.
Wild Ginger is a super vivid orange red. I can only repeat myself here but the quality of TF lipsticks goes above and beyond. I mean its certainly a splurge item and due to price can only be placed in the luxury category of makeup but at least its totally amazing.
When reading reviews of Wild Ginger I noticed it seems to translate a little different on everyone. Its pulls more tomato reds on some skin tones and more orange on others. Im happy to report the orange hue is definitely there when I wear it. Its very pigmented and the lasting power for such a creamy consistency is great. I generally do a touch up 5-6h in but often thats not even necessary. Many reviews say the staying power is not all that so I'm not sure if my success has to do with the next purchase.
The lip liner. With such a look-at-me shade I want the lips to look and stay perfect. So the hunt for perfect liner started promptly after Wild Ginger was mine. And when I say promptly I mean at the very same Duty Free. I really did try to find a match at Mac or any other brand that was a bit more budget friendly but in the end the perfect liner was of course at Chanel counter. I could have been a sensible person and waited til I arrive back to Dubai and have much more options but what fun would that be? Instead I just bought the Chanel Le Crayon Levres in 56 Orange Intense. I actually haven't had one regret purchasing this. Its a perfect match and smooth to apply but stays put for ages. It has a great quality brush on the other end and it comes with its own sharpener. And as mentioned I think it really adds hours to the staying power of the lipstick. I also choose to have a memory of a goldfish when it comes to dwelling on the price.
This duo is making me very very VERY happy.
Do you own a Tom Ford lipstick? Which shade is your favorite?

That is one stunning lipstick, I would be scared of ruining the lovely TF embossing :)

Haha its sad but true. I haven't had the heart to ruin in either so I have been using it with a brush from the back of the lipstick. Its just sooo beautiful!
DeleteIt's beautiful. The shade, the packaging... I love everything about it. I don't own a Tom Ford lipstick. My favourite is a YSL one (Le Orange) which was also expenisve - not as expenisve as this! - but the luxury brands can be worth every penny when they are so beautiful. Using them is such a treat.

Ohh someone mentioned that YSL shade before to me when I started my search for orange lipstick. I have never tried YSL lipsticks but I love the packaging and one of them will be mine sooner or later :) x
DeleteAhhhhhh I love this lipstick on you! I can't possibly buy another lipstick.....or can I?! lol
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to get that lipliner though, I often find I smudge colours like this when I'm wearing them and a lipliner would definitely help.
Will we ever stop encouraging each other to buy things?! lol

Ha ha Lis I think we both know there is always room for another lipstick. The liner is fab! Like really it was expensive but its the best liner I own and the brush on the other end is such good quality.
DeleteThe day when we stop enabling each other will be a very very sad one. I hope it never comes :D x
I picked up the shade Flamingo from the Tom Ford store on Rodeo Drive when visiting back in April (oh yes I'm so glam!) and adore it. I was slightly hesitant at the price and guilty for what I had spent but I loved it... I definitely think it's time to add Wild Ginger to the list... and maybe that liner when I hit duty free in September!

ha ha very glam! Picking one up at Rodeo Drive totally beats a stuffy airport Duty Free and I looove Flamingo. Such a pretty shade and so wearable.
DeleteI do think Wild Ginger is such a unique shade( or so I tell myself to justify the purchase) haha). Liner was a bit stupid expensive but its really the best one I own. So get them all! :) :) x
This shade looks lovely on you! And TF's packaging and details always feel so luxurious, don't they!? Xo, Alexandra

Thank you :) I like a few others from the range but this was always my fav when ever I ended up at the TF counter. Its such a unique shade or at least that is my excuse for spending so much money on a lippie :D x
