*The Tom Ford Violet Argente Soleil Eye and Cheek Palette
The nucleus of the Tom Ford Soleil Collection is the *Violet Argente Soleil Eye and Cheek Palette.  Boasting six buildable shades for cheeks, eyes and face, this is perhaps my most favorite Tom Ford palette to date. The hues are buttery and lush, with excellent color payoff and in a balanced and neutral spectrum of shades that flatter most–if not all–undertones. 
I love laying all four eyeshadow shades (start with the bronze, then blend in the rose, put a touch of violet in the crease and blend the ivory up to the brown bone) for a beautiful depth that lasts all day without creasing and the blush and highlighter pair perfectly for a subtly radiant flush. All in all, I cannot recommend this palette enough! 
Shade Descriptions (per my experience):
  • Blush: Dusty rose pink with a creamy matte finish
  • Eyeshadows (4): Soft ivory pearl, radiant satin salmon rose, multi-dimensional warm bronze brown and duo-shift violet. 
  • Highlighter: Tender pink-tinged champagne

Dewy, plush and multitasking, the *Tom Ford Radiant Moisture Souffle represents a stunning fusion of skincare with instant beautifying results. The incandescent cream has a muted golden undertone that bathes skin in refined radiance while energizing one’s canvas, delivering plumper skin and a brightening glow on contact. 
Use it under makeup to hydrate and illuminate or touch a bit over makeup to refresh and revitalize. I plan to decant some into a small jar to keep in my makeup bag for on-the-go moments when my skin needs a boost!

The *Tom Ford Lip Slicks
Finally, the *Tom Ford Lip Slick is an innovative new formula in the venerable Tom Ford lip color lineup. Brimming with nourishing jojoba and coconut oils, the lip color is housed in fascinating rollerball-centric packaging that allows the oil to be released only as applied. 
The rich and decidedly non-sticky formula immediately moisturizes while imparting a semi-shiny coat of sheer color in just-bitten hues that convey a “your lips but better” attitude. Marvelous for polished lips in no time flat, the Tom Ford Lip Slick is a brilliant formula for those seeking skincare benefits and an easy, flattering effect.
The *Tom Ford Lip Slick comes in four shades and I have three to show you below:
  • Spiked Cherry: A lively red tone
  • Hibiscus Kiss: A fuchsia-tinted pink
  • Bitten Berry: A deep neutral berry (the most neutral of the three, worn over Tom Ford Bad Lieutenant (reviewed HERE) in the images at the end of this post.

What it is: A tinted, comforting, oil-infused lip conditioner that covers lips in a daring hint of color.
What it does: Each succulent shade features intoxicating soleil essences to elicit the epitome of luminosity. A luxurious, nonsticky elixir infused with jojoba oil and coconut oil provides, glossy, shiny color with a juicy tint.

How to use: Simply turn the base of the package until the product dispense through the rollerball. Apply directly onto lips for a comfortable, nourishing feel.
From L-R: Spiked Cherry, Hibiscus Kiss and Bitten Berry.

Style Notes. 
// STYLE NOTES //
  • Black trapeze dress: With long sleeves and a breezy skirt, this classic number can be dressed up (with heels) or down (like I did in the images above and below) with ease. It’s truly the chameleon of one’s closet! 
  • Relaxed Trench Coat: I am a huge fan of this classic wardrobe staple and am constantly adding new versions to my rotation. Additional options HERE and for vintage options (I just scored a YSL in perfect condition), check out the selection at The Real Real
  • Jeffrey Campbell Kovacs Booties (previously reviewed HERE): I have been wearing these gorgeous olive booties–a major departure from my normal black toned footwear–consistently since picking them up last month. They are comfortable (FYI, size up one full size) and classic and the lucite and wooden heel have a modern flair. 

The eye look…a mix of all four shadows.
