I think we'd all agree that an integral part of Mr. Ford's creative genius is his understanding of sensuality on many different levels, but this particular campaign is just downright sophomoric: lips, lipstick = labia, penis. OK, we get it Mr. Ford. Now, can we get back to the business of what makes your new lipstick so special? After all, sometimes a lipstick is just a lipstick.Eileennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-1426291130335687502010-05-15T12:43:12.782-04:002010-05-15T12:43:12.782-04:00Joli !

There wasn't a single one I wanted! My favorite sales rep wasn't enamored either. Most of the shades were too dark or too bright and definitely too opaque <b>for me</b>. There is a nude color (two actually, I think), but too light and not distinctive. <br /><br />Even Pure Pink was way too bright for me. I feel like I'm playing dress-up in those colors.<br /><br />I'm going to save a bunch of money, since I won't be spending $45 a pop!Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-50343741227181892702010-05-14T14:25:34.928-04:002010-05-14T14:25:34.928-04:00I've got two: True Coral and Pink Dusk, and ad...I've got two: True Coral and Pink Dusk, and adore them both! Grace London and I have very different complexions, but we both love True Coral.<br /><br />I like this even better than Guerlain Rouge G. I just ignore the imagery--Tom Ford is a gay man, after all, and a bit over the top in his approach to sex.Jamilla Camelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631946088006140311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-62409009873985256802010-05-14T12:28:00.550-04:002010-05-14T12:28:00.550-04:00The color is amazing, but which advantage does it ...The color is amazing, but which advantage does it offer which is more than other luxury lipsticks?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-44633618915028019262010-05-14T11:58:58.840-04:002010-05-14T11:58:58.840-04:00I love these - as well as the good qualities of th...I love these - as well as the good qualities of the lipsticks themselves, I love the soft click when you close the lid. True Coral and Pure Pink are both beautiful brights that work well on my pale, high-contrast colouring. <br /><br />I couldn't agree more about the imagery - I hate that picture of a model virtually chewing one of the lipsticks, and find it crass. <br /><br />When I had a look at the counter, I also found that the formula doesn't do well when kept under the hot counter lights; it almost feels greasy when it's been overheated, which is a shame, because it's not a fair representation of the actual performance when kept at a reasonable temperature.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12757180521533165191noreply@blogger.com
