Morning ladies, trying to catch up here, but I think I'll just continue on from the last few posts.

Lipsticks - is Tom Ford worth the hype and extra cost? Like moma, I'm also looking for long lasting, non-drying intensity. So far I only go back to the G Armani liquid matte - I even have them in 3 shades (red, pink, nude-ish) and have repurchased. But I'm getting bored with my limited palette. I've cycled through a lot of other brands once.

I don't think we have the EB brand here yet but I'd like to try TF. There were a couple of colours that were v nice on me -
Velvet violet
Black dahlia
Pussycat

For foundation I love the Armani line - it feels amazing but it would slide off my (oily) skin in a few hours. I switched to hourglass immaculate and it's more stable. No breakouts or clogged pores but I miss the feel of the GA line.

I'm off to buy new pillows today - any tips for side sleepers with wide shoulders? I love down/feather but can't find any good quality high-density ones. (Other than $2000 ones online)
 
I tried a sample of Galop and it is just not for me. It also reminds me of Rouge Hermes which I had years ago. Don't even remember where I stuck that bottle. I am pretty much a Jo Malone girl. I like things that are citrus, but not too sweet, though my current favorite i Wood Sage and Seas Salt.

I don't know if I can bring myself to spend for the Tom Ford lipstick. I have to draw the line someplace!

The beginning of Galop reminded me of Muget. That fragrance is liked by many people. It was not for me. Galop develops differently. I never really gave Jo Malone a chance. I should. It's so easy to get carried away with fragrance purchases.

Anyone have a favorite CSGM from this season? I'm thinking about the Ivory Dallet.
 
Hi everyone. Just catching up. I just got home.

I don't love gallop. It seemed kind of masculine to me. I like jardin de msr li. I have a huge stash of Chanel allure and coco that I have to work through before I can switch over.

I just got back from my store. I am over the moon. First, my dress didn't arrive in time but I have to go back on Tuesday anyway. So hopefully I'll get it then.

But they had this for me: Kelly 32 retourne rouge h sombrero body, Epsom handle straps and bottom, Clemence sides.

A special thanks to dharma and mrs Owen for talking through color choices with me at our recent meetup. And to madam bijoux for her knowledge and experience with sombrero.

I got the Dallet and I love it! It's an outstanding piece that works with lots of color.
