Tom Ford Private Blend Lip Color: Vanilla Suede swatches and review

Before I started blogging I didn't own many lipsticks and mainly stuck to lipglosses. Now my lipstick collection has grown significantly and I am of the belief that every girl needs at least one luxurious lipstick in her collection. The Tom Ford Private Blend Lip Colors are just the thing!

What they say:

Tom Ford Private Blend presents twelve essential shades to influence a mood and transform an entire look. The first chapter in Tom Ford’s evolution into makeup, this collection is a luxurious expression of colors for the beauty connoisseur.

“There is no more dramatic accessory than a perfect lip,” Ford says. “It is the focus of the face and it has the power to define a woman’s whole look.”

The new Private Blend Lip Color Collection presents Tom Ford’s personal color palette of twelve classic lip colors. From bare nude to fire red to deep brown, each Tom Ford Private Blend Lip Color is Ford’s modern ideal of an essential makeup shade.

Have you ever seen lipstick packaging as divine as this?? Private Blend lip colors are packaged in gold accented ivory cases and are so unbelievably luxurious and beautiful. Simply stunning!! They are also very weighty and sturdy which I love and the TF embossing on the lipstick is a wonderful touch too.

Vanilla Suede is a gorgeous nude with subtle shimmer. The lipsticks are made with ingredients such as Soja Seed Extract, Brazilian Murumuru Butter and Chamomilla Flower Oil for a super creamy and moisturising formula that applies very smoothly. Actually a little too creamy as it just slid off my lips which made applying it difficult initially! It was suggested I use a lip brush which made it a lot easier to apply.

I'm starting to love nude shades and Vanilla Suede is fantastic. It won't suit everyone however as it may look very pale on some!! On me it was somewhat light but not ghost like so I'd pair it with a dramatic smokey eye. It wore for a few hours before needed a touch-up.

Overall: An amazing lipstick which has officially become the crown jewel of my lip collection! From the formula to the beautiful packaging, I say every girl should own at least one Private Blend Lip Color in their lifetime. However I am loving the other colours too so I would love to add more to my collection x) There are 12 gorgeous shades in the collection so there will be a colour to suit everyone if Vanilla Suede isn't the one for you.

  3. Don't lipsticks cost less than $1 to manufacture? That's a 6500% markup.

  7. @sugar sugar: Awwww thanks hun! It is an absolutely stunning lipstick. Everything about it just screams (in a lady like way!) elegance and luxury.

    @Mez: You should rock the red lips anyway!! It's hot on you! Yeah I'm come to learn that a girl must have some nude lipsticks in her collection and not all pink in my case haha.

  8. @Millie: I don't work in the beauty industry so I have no knowledge of these things - but I am pretty darn sure that Tom Ford Private Blend lip colors do NOT cost $1 to manufacture. Lipsticks from other brands certainly might however.

    It retails for $65 in Australia because we pay crazy markups compared to the prices in the US and UK. This collection is by Tom Ford and is a luxury item, plus you pay for quality.

    I hope you have the pleasure of trying or owning a lipstick from this collection in the future. I'm sure you will change your mind once trying one!
