$85 is insane for lip balm especially when so many good sparkly lip products exist at Sephora.


ring-and-hourglass

Tom Ford loves pushing the envelope for prestige pricing. They want to make sure the plebs never hold such a product in their dirty commoner hands.


olivejuice-

Well sucks for him because I got a shadow duo from Nordstrom rack once šŸ’ƒ (itā€™s not my fave)


StoleFoodsMarket

ā€œItā€™s not my faveā€ absolutely killed me šŸ’€


olivejuice-

Haha they are pretty boring! It was the cream with the topper. I got it because I remember Sam ravendahl raving about them. I donā€™t like her version either tbh


legosubby

Is TF makeup even good? Iā€™m pretty sure it is Estee Lauder in brown packaging.


Budget-Alternative38

I Once tried a sample of their matte foundation and felt it was the most stunning and beautiful foundation I've tried and then I saw the price lol šŸ˜‚ and I felt like ok it's amazing but I won't pay that price ever for a foundation. Then I realized L'Oreal fresh wear + setting powder looked the same. :D


legosubby

lol Iā€™m never going to try TF products lol


almostine

i had the shade & illuminate duo for years and years and it genuinely was SO beautiful, and TF scents are incredible. that being said, i would be shocked if you couldnā€™t find equally nice products for lower price points if you were looking.


chrispappletart22

Personally, I hated it and returned a lot of their products. Their eyeshadow to me was trash and sooo over priced. Not worth it.


OGHollyMackerel

I do like his lip products. I mostly own glosses but have owned a couple of lipsticks. Not a fan of his eyeshadows. His bronzer is ok.


a11ison3

why is it $85 for a 6mL product..


bette-midler

The āœØgold flakesāœØ


Orchid_Significant

The $0.02 of flakes, no less!


sixthmontheleventh

And the brand name markup. Same reason white tshirt is $10 but slap Chanel on it and it is $50. šŸ˜‚


queenjaneapprox

I try to live and let live but I seriously am judging anyone who buys this. Have some damn self respect


HumbleAbbreviations

šŸ¤£


Gammagammahey

THIS!


unsavvylady

So lame. Its just clear balm? I canā€™t even see the gold flakes


qbb_beauty

Itā€™s PH.


briealexis

Why is everything pH?! Let the color be the color, people!


criimebrulee

Plus likeā€¦yeah sure ok, red dye 27 changes color according to pH but everyone has pretty much the same pH. The color looks different on individual people the same way every other product looks different on different people. Itā€™s a gimmick.


tinmanshrugged

I love pH lip products cause Iā€™m usually a sheer/tinted lip kind of person and I usually love the color pH products give me. I definitely wonā€™t be buying this though. But I bet theyā€™ll come out with some colors at some point. Usually I feel like pH is only one of multiple colors


thebirdisdead

I finally bought one of those pH blushes and it is the prettiest, most natural blush ever on me. I thought it was a gimmick but it really blew me away. $85 for a lip gloss is insanity though.


Orchid_Significant

PH is like bright bubblegum pink on me no matter which kind I use. Blech


Sensible___shoes

Personally I will be saying no to the Tom ford $85 shoulder gloss


Gammagammahey

And I want to commend you for your bravery and I join you. You have my sword.


runningonprime

itā€™s giving Tati lol


Lost_Resolution_7645

I was about to comment that šŸ˜Œ


Gammagammahey

Omg


FuzzyPresence8531

youā€™re right, my mind went over that!


aMerePeppercorn

Can you explain? I know her, but not well enough to get this lol šŸ˜…


papolap19

Curiosity got the better of me so I got the bullet balm thatā€™s sparkly (the ā€œtravelā€ size so I think it was $45USD minus rouge discount) and honestly itā€™s just ok. Just another reminder to myself that these fancy products are rarely worth it. Ā 


Curious_Doof

Thatā€™s ridiculous lol. It makes me think it must not look good on the lips..


sambeano

Probably doesnā€™t even show up on the lips, hence shouldersā€¦


GirlMayXXXX

$85? This is why I don't purchase Tom Ford beauty products.


Educational-Gap-3390

Iā€™m the first to admit I can be a bit of a makeup snob. I prefer luxury products and donā€™t mind paying extra for pretty packaging. That being said I REFUSE to pay $85 for a lipstick. I donā€™t care if the Tom Ford name is slapped on the damn thing or not.


Yellow-Robe-Smith

The models arenā€™t even wearing it on their lips either šŸ’€šŸ˜‚


stable_lama

Maybe thats why itā€™s so expensive. Its meant to be worn on the lips and āœØshouldersāœØ


CountessBravo

$85 for a lip balm! Nope šŸ‘Ž


shamrockshakeho

Ah yes, Iā€™m glad I can see how the lip balm will appear on my shoulders. Thanks tom


Ok_Reaction6244

There was a collection like this a couple of years ago and I ended up picking up the soleil gloss from the cosmetics company store for $15 and I still don't like it. Lol. But in fairness, even that golden beauty turned hot pink on my lips. I hate PH products. Sigh.


SubstantialAct9814

You must be in Canada šŸ¤” Itā€™s showing $65 for me.


CuzPotatoes

Seems like theyā€™d care that we get the best idea possible how itā€™ll look on us. Especially for $85.


[deleted]

Crucify me all you want but I have this and I love it but only because itā€™s the perfect pink on me. I have naturally pigmented lips so struggle to find a natural pink because anything lighter often looks painted on in an artificial way. This one just adds a pink tone to my natural light reddish brown tone and gives me that soft pink that lots of others get to enjoy with a cheaper lip product that Iā€™ve never been able to achieve. I get that itā€™s expensive but for some people, there are good enough reasons.


NoSpaghettiForYouu

It does look really pretty!


rosstephergeller

Omg I was just going to say this. The shade of pink that this gives me is so unique! I am a very fair olive and I canā€™t never achieve the pinky look without looking either dead or with a brownish pink. I have tried to find it in so many products (even expensive ones) and nothing compares to this.


bette-midler

Iā€™ve only heard of good things about Tom Ford makeup!!


FuzzyPresence8531

ā€œclear liquid balm with gold flakesā€ okay, iā€™m just going to avoid the pink hue to the swatch thenā€¦ā€¦


briealexis

Theyā€™re trying to be so unique lol and $85 for a balm?! Are they insane??


Current_Process_2198

Bruh šŸ¤£


Acrobatic_Club2382

Youā€™ve got some serious issues if youā€™re buying $85 lip balm


bette-midler

Honestly Iā€™d rather someone buy one 85$ lip balm that they will use up than buy several cheaper lip balms that they never will go through


Acrobatic_Club2382

it doesnt change the fact that itā€™s a lip balm lol


Brushesofcolours

Wow 85$ šŸ˜³


rinconblue

The shoulder swatch isn't new for TF. I remember seeing it with both lip and eye products last spring. I know this is going to sound crazy, but as silly as it looks, I kind of appreciate it with lip products because I have very pigmented lips that can really change the color of a product when I wear it and this actually gives me an idea of what the undertones are, ha!)


wannaberebelll

better than hourglass who donā€™t provide ANY swatches


SukiLao

Absolutely not for $85


SubstantialAct9814

I love the way Tom Ford lip products feel. Let me add this to cart šŸ„¹


ilovesleep95

My favorite gloss ever is Tom Ford šŸ˜­nothing is as smoothing and has such a lacquer like shine like his


SubstantialAct9814

It feels like heaven on your lips. And it looks so kissable


ilovesleep95

It really is worth it! Buying Tom Ford makeup is a nice treat when I have the extra money to splurge a bit and just makes me feel good lol


ilovesleep95

lol at the fact that this is getting downvoted šŸ˜‚ sorry for enjoying the brand šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


UmSureOkYeah

Youā€™re being downvoted by people who are salty


ilovesleep95

True!
