Tom Ford The Boys: Francesco and Alejandro



"This decadent wardrobe of rich color shades delivers maximum impact. Rare and exotic ingredients including sojs seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil create an ultra-creamy texture with an incredibly smooth application. Specially treated color pigments are blended to deliver pure color with just the right balance of luminosity. Showcased in a sleek limited edition clutch sized lipstick case, each lip transforming shade amplifies a woman's individuality while generating an insatiable desire to try more than one."

Stick limited edition on a lipstick and i am there throwing my money at you and Tom Ford the Boys was no different. With 50 shades the collection is vast and you will be sure to find a colour that suits you. They are available at Selfridges for a limited time  priced at £26 but note they aren't full size, hence the price, making it a really affordable way to own some Tom Ford.  For a look at all the shades/swatches Temptalia has a great post.

On first look i wanted something from the fuchsia to magentas grouping but when looking at comparisons i already owned something that was really similar and i wanted something a bit different to add to my collection. So i went for Francesco and Alejandro.
Tom Ford The Boys Alejandro lipstick review and swatches
Alejandro is a medium-dark, fuchsia-red with cool, blue undertones. 
Tom Ford The Boys Francesco lipstick review and swatches
Francesco is a brightened, medium-dark fuchsia-red with lighter fuchsia shimmer.
 I found both lipsticks lovely to use, they felt creamy going on and didn't drag. The shimmer is quite subtle as is the pearl finish, It lasted for several hours and didn't feel drying. It left a stain on the lips. The packaging is nice which i would expect for the price point, metal with black and gold finishes. 

I am glad i purchased them, even if the price is a bit eye watering, really look into the colours and dupes and try to find one unique or unique to your collection. If i had more money i'm sure i would have added a few more to my collection.
