I am a die-hard Tom Ford fan so I needed no convincing! I,
unfortunately, had to leave early due to work commitments, but I was able to
try out a lip colour of my choice which felt lovely. They retail at R495 which
is really pricey for a lip colour but Tom Ford is no cheapie brand and you really
are paying for luxury – in my mind I can justify it (sorry I’m not sorry) but
I’ll leave that up to you to decide. I know my friend bought one of their lip
colour for her wedding day and I think it is such a lovely treat like that. Below are some of the
colours available.
I spritzed the brand-new Sahara Noir scent on me (don’t you
just love the gold bottle?) – the scent was spicy and so unique, which is why I
just love this brand.
Below are a few bottles from my collection at home that I
love and save for special occasions. The Black Orchid is my go-to scent for any
vaguely special occasion – definitely my wedding scent one day (pathetic that
I’ve decided that already!). I also left with a treat from Tom Ford which was another
Black Orchid – never has there been a better prezzie, so thank you!
Be sure to pop past the counter – even if it’s just for a
sniff of their beautiful scents and a application of their lip colour – I know
by this alone you will be sold!
So glad to see you posted about this. I'm sooooo happy that we have a counter in Cape Town now, that has all the fragrances. I can't wait to get my hands on Champaca Absolute - it's gorgeous! (but I have to save up for it)
ReplyDeleteI know, they pricey but oh-my-word they are so worth it!
DeleteI've recently discovered the beauty that is Black Orchid and Noir de Noir! (and purchased both), but I see there is a purple one - Velvet Orchid. What do you think of that? Have you tried it? I doubt it's better than Black Orchid :)
ReplyDeleteAh is it not just THE best scent!? I haven't tried or smelt Velvet Orchid. Will give it a sniff when I pop in to Edgars but nothing beats Black Orchid in my mind :)
