Can you tell I do not want to let go Summer?! Another review on my favourites for the Summer that is about to end!
The Tom Ford Lip Colour Shine lipsticks hug your lips in a “semitransparent, high-shine color veil. Each sensuous and delicate shade glides on with a luminous sheen, instantly moisturizing and conditioning the lips.
Tom Ford’s signature blend of rare ingredients, including Soja Seed extract, Brazilian Murumuru butter and Chamomilla flower oil delivers decadent comfort”, and never fail to amaze.
The only ones I have in my collection that are comparable to the Tom Ford Lip Shines are the other favourites of mine, the Chanel Coco Shine Lipsticks, especially Aventure ( previously reviewed here ), with slight differences between them.
The Tom Ford #02 in Smitten is a very natural looking colour on me. It is a my-lips-but-better kind of shade with a twist: the shiny golden particles, which add a lot of light to my lips, making them look fuller and plumped at the same time.
By comparison, the shiny particles in my #57 Aventure Chanel Coco Shine lipstick are smaller and do not transfer on my lips as obvious as the ones in Smitten.
Being a sheer formula, the coverage is barely there. But I like it like that because it is an item easy to throw in my purse and to reapply without a mirror, when I am on the go.
Like my Aventure, due to its natural colouring I guess Smitten is suitable for a lot of different complexions.
– left Chanel Aventure, right Tom Ford Smitten
I find that the Tom Ford‘s Smitten has a denser, stickier formula than my Chanel Coco Shines and I think this is the one thing that makes it resist longer on my lips. I was able to wear it for over three hours, before reapplying it and it felt really moisturizing.
The scent of Smitten is delicious too – as expected, right!? – vanillary and sweet, but not overpowering. Better than the Chanel signature rose scent, the sweet tooth inside of me dares to say!
What about the packaging?! As much as I love the simplicity of the black and white Chanel Coco Shine packaging, I am mesmerized by the luxury of Tom Ford’s mahogany and gold practical packaging.
There are mixed reviews on both these products! Some say they are too pricey for what they are, but I simply love them! Both of them! The Chanel Coco Shines are the most worn lipstick in my collection! I use them in various occasions, no matter the season!
What are your opinions on these? You have one that you love more? Please share!
See you soon, beautiful!

TBH Annie i love the look of his lipsticks but i don’t believe in paying £10 more for the packaging. I have read reviews extensively on his products and i would say that his eyeshadow quads and blushers work out at very good value for the quality and i love some of his quad shades. (Lavender Lust is on the cards at some point). They are beautiful. I just hum and ahhh over his lipsticks. I guess i want a unique shade from him for me to have a great reason to buy one of his lipsticks. Watch this space though because Spanish Pink looks like a beautiful shade and i may just buy one yet. I do love the packaging by the way too haha.x

Hi, my lovely! You made some good points there! But I am so silly sometimes… and most of the times a bit of a sucker for packaging! LoL So I always end up bringing home with me products I don’t necessarily need! 😀
And Spanish Pink is a beautiful colour! It was my first option for the pink-ish nude I wanted. But when swatched, I didn’t liked it on me! So, on that trip I ended up with Pink Dusk and Blush Nude! Yup, two in one shoot! And, of course I love both! 😀
What else can I say?! I LOVE my TF makeup! 🙂 xx

Great review! The color and packaging reminds me of Chanel lipsticks. I use the Chanel signature rose one, and I’m glad to know there’s a TF Smitten one that goes head-to-head with that! Lovely pictures 🙂 – Lena

Haha! Online browsing might help just a little! 😉 I wish you could try the TF on! It’s light, pigmented enough and easy to apply! I didn’t had many expectations from this one because of some reviews I red. But now that I own it, its such a nice product! 😉 Totally recommend it! 🙂 xx
