I wore this palette yesterday and really liked the look, however, even-though I used glitter glue for the glitter shade, by the end of the day, I could feel something in my eye and it was irritated. I’m going to try it again because the look was beautiful! I did pass on the blush/highlighter duo. It’s the sticky part that scares me and the possibility of orange in the pink. Everything turns orange on me so even a hint is probably going to go coral on me. I also picked up Casablanca and Pinnacle and LOVE them together and they REALLY last a long time!
This is a beautiful release, but it’s not for me. I know it sounds kind of silly, but $90 vs $100 for the quad makes me think about it differently. It’s not the $10 per se, it just feels different. It makes me stop and say, “Do I really need this/want this? Will I really get $100 use out of it?” They might have had me at $90/95. Again, I know it’s silly, it’s just the way my mind works. I’d need TRUE excitement like I had for the Hermes holiday quad.
I feel the same way about 90 vs. 100 and I was having a hard time with the 90! I think I'll be taking a break from TF for a while if these are going to be their new prices.
@@LexiJongMy sentiments exactly. TF was barely acceptable at $90, now that it’s $100 it’s a threshold I can’t crossover to. Your review is excellent but it also tells me we have lots of other shadows to obtain a similar look.
TF quads are AUD160 as it is so this new quad will be even more. 😢 I have not bought any new TF since hazy sensuality early in 2023. I just cannot justify these prices for “nothing special” formulas and colour stories. Glad I have quite a few of the old cool-toned TF quads in amazing formulas that I love - my fave is Daydream.
I used to get something from almost every Tom Ford makeup release. I never thought I'd see the day where, in a review video of the new Holiday collection, the only thing I get excited about are the gorgeous nails of the reviewer 😁
Hi Lexi, everything you tried looks beautiful on you! Although this is a very pretty, wearable collection, imo I don't really feel the holiday vibes for the price tag nor do I feel that it's that unique of a collection. Don't get me wrong bc I do think everything is lovely, but if you're trying to look for something you don't already have and are watching your spend this may not be the top choice for everyone. Thank you so much for investing, providing comps, demos and your valued opinion. Your hard work is always appreciated as is your ability to stay on top of all releases and be a trusted source of knowledge. ❤❤
Hi Lexi! Your review showed that I don't need any of these. I am even happier that I picked up last year's quad and highlighter which I use regularly and never regretted buying it. I thought that the last lipgloss shade you agowdeduaa comparison has the exact tone as this year's blush 😂
Looking so pretty, Lexi! I don't think its worth it (for me), paying $100 for a quad! Tbh, I hope a lot of people don't pick it up...or the TF team will think it's ok to keep raising their prices (!!!!) I'm so excited by the new MBM Ethereal Eyes palette though, have you seen the swatches. There's this one look that's absolutely gorgeous...and then I realized it looks *exactly* like the look you get with the TF Iconic Smoke palette !
You look beautiful Lexi!! The collection looks so pretty. I don’t have any Tom Ford but living through you. Thank you for all the demos, swatches and comparisons and inspiration. ❤
Tom Ford is like…Oo it’s a new season, let’s do another palette of browns! I’m sure everyone can use another one of those. Oh and we have a lot of glitter in the warehouse let’s throw that in too
Thank you Lexi! Great thorough review, as always! This year’s Soleil Neige quad is indeed quite similar to last year’s Lumière d’hiver - which I have and keep reaching for. Your lips in this video are just perfect for fall/winter - moist-and-medium-warm-toned. I already picked up 3 of the new lip pencils a few weeks ago - LOVE them, even at their exorbitant price - so all I need now are the Celestial and Pinnacle glosses. I wish TF had created a blush similar to the Cafe Rose blush (i.e. in the same cream to powder formula). I suspect this collection was not created by TF himself. I hope the new TF team will work to improve quality and creativity - and bring back some of the brand’s past LE favorites. Thank you for being honest about this collection.
The best part of this Tom Ford collection release was the appearance of Sadie in your video. So cuuuute! She has such a baby face. I love when you said she is very cat like in the way she tries to steal the roll of toilet paper. ❤
Thanks for the through review! I’m definitely interested in this collection so I appreciate the comparisons. Sneaky sneaker pupper 😂 she’s so beautiful! I hope you are having a good weekend! 💜💜💖
I’ve been eyeing this collection all season, but haven’t pulled the trigger. However, your review showed me something I was unfamiliar with. That WA highlighter stick in Lit is something I’ve been hoping to find for years. When I was younger, the drugstore brand New York Color had a creme blush stick called Plaza Pink. It was peachy pink with a slight blue shift and it was my favorite thing ever. Now I can recreate it! (though at a much escalated price). Still, I’m happy to have found your review. Thanks!
Thanks for your video, Lexi ❤.... Like others have said, this is not for me... I guess Estee Lauder, who acquired Tom Ford in 2022 for a whopping $2.8 billion dollars have to recoup the money somewhere - lowering quality, while increasing prices 😐... So many companies do this, but at least there are superb alternatives to choose from (like Suqqu)... Tom Ford, at some point, will become far too expensive for what you get & people will buy elsewhere (unless a diehard fan) ❤
Lexi, thanks for reviewing this collection. I agree with you the TF lipglosses are the stand out & really good!! The blush is nice but quite pricey. I like the eye quad color story but I would definitely wait for a sale. Thank you for the reminder of the Sephora sale coming up. Good to see Sadie such a cutie!! 😊🌺
I already have the Black Diamond palette on the way from Nordstrom. My first Tom Ford purchase ever. I'm seeing a fair amount of glitter and fallout on you ... hope I don't regret this pricey purchase. Thanks for sharing.
Hi dear Lexi, super good video!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩Yes, the quality of the wet/dry quads is unmatched! But, wow, this quad and colourstory it's fabulous, and all products look fabulous on you!!!😘😘😘😘 Having too much makeup i really look for products that i will remember after a year, this quad, i would. Would i purchase if it would come to NL, yes maybe. And mostly i'm not in love with these quads anymore, but love the colourstory! But when it does not come, it does not come. Wishing you a wonderful day!!!😘😘😘😘
@@annemarietimmerman7213 snap je helemaal! Hier ook hoor. Laat me altijd zo influencen door de nieuwste make-up ook te willen hebben, maar is eigenlijk gekkenwerk. Wat ik al heb maak ik de rest van m’n leven niet meer op😅 Goed weekend!
Very useful review! And yay for the Sadie cameo! My cats also like to help by unrolling toilet paper, but they prefer to unroll paper towel rolls for added difficulty (sideways)! 😂
I have the gloss in Pinnacle and find that is a rich, but soft, cool-leaning autumnal shade. Because it has a translucence to it, it is much more flattering on my old lips than are the more opaque lipsticks that seem to dominate the season. It’s a great gloss and, for me, is worth the price because I love the color, the color loves me-lol-, and the formula is kind to my lips.
Bobbi Brown had similar blushes in the same component several colors years ago. I have 4 of them! They are different than their current pot rouge blush.
I picked up the Pinnacle gloss. I saw it in store a few weeks ago and it is so beautiful in real life. I think I will get a lot of use out of it. The clear gloss is also very nice. The pairing with the TF liner is a good idea and I might do the same. The problem with clear glosses in my case is that I keep buying them from all of the good brands and then I never use them b/c my lips have very little pigment. But there are ways to use them, like you did. Or topped over any lipstick.
The new TF Black Diamond palette is beautiful. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was a color story I would like, very classic and elegant. I just wish the price tag wasn’t so hefty! Wow, $100 is really steep. As another commenter said, jumping in price from $90 or $95 to $100 seems like quite a jump. I was going to get the Dior holiday palette, but I’d like to get this one too. I also really like the lip gloss in Pinnacle. Maybe I’ll wait until it goes on sale.
Hi Lexi ! Thank you for this thorough review (as always). I am only interested in the quad mostly for the shimmer shade and wonder how it compares to the pink/green shimmer shade in Lisa Eldridge sorcery palette 🤔 if you have it, I would love to have your advice ! And also what do you think of the Lisa Eldridge matte eyeshadows formula ? I know it is off topic but I value your always honest opinion regarding Lisa Eldridge products 😉
I think the shimmer in the sorcery palette is prettier and has more of a unique shift to it. I haven't had any issues with her mattes - I think they are nice but nothing special / unique. I love the sorcery palette overall though and think it's her best.
Unrelated question, if you had to choose between Nude Dip and YSL Stora Dolls, what would you choose? I’m building my Sephora sale cart and can’t decide.
Hi Lexi! I always enjoy your reviews and demos. I’m not excited about this TF color story - and losing interest in glitter. That said, you do look beautiful wearing this quad. I’m at the point where Cle’de Peau, Chanel and Hermes look more attractive on my senior eyes. I just received the Addiction Tokyo quad in Miss Mauve - really like it - and much prefer it to TF Metallic Mauve. Sadie is adorable! Always enjoy seeing her❤
Idk why but i kinda think of the merrit blush pots in a compact with the formula for that TF blush . Idk if that blush would even show up on me so i think im gonna skip but i was hoping it was more like the cafe blush formula in the compact with a highlight. I just cant believe the price jump on these and they arnt that different or special looking then others . Sadie was absolutely adorable 🥰 lol she is so cute getting into everything while you try to review. She is a furry toddler. Great review as always Lexi.
I’ve been waiting for your review! Thanks for all the details and comparisons. This collection looks lovely, but I’m passing due to the price. Why is TF more expensive than Dior and Chanel??
The pinky-peach matte shade in the quad reminds me of MAC Orb (maybe a more opaque version). Versatile and very usable. I just got Black Diamond (w a rouge reward-yay!) and I also have Soleil d’Hiver. I think they are different enough and definitely great to have (either or both). Neutral, yet the sparkle topper shade(s) add a bit of fun and whimsy, while still being able to provide a daytime wearable look if desired. I also got Celestial and Pinnacle glosses, and agree that they’re both lovely. Celestial could have a touch more shimmer IMO. I bought and returned Dior Holo Silver last year bec it literally looked like clear gloss on my lips (unlike Holo Gold a year or two before which is something special). Celestial is better than Holo Silver, but could still use just a little more of the “magic” 😉
Thanks for the great tip re: shaking the tube for shimmer formulas! I store my lip products upright, but good idea if the shimmers, glitters, collect at the bottom of the tube.
I love the TF glosses too. They actually added BHT which every other company is removing thse days and I don't know what's up with that. Like you, I've had TF lipsticks go off, but never a gloss.
Hi Lexi. Thank you for the detailed review, I’m looking forward to a few pieces that I’ve ordered. Do you have Sisley lipgloss in Moon? I wondered how similar that is to Celestial if you do.
Thanks Lexi this is a really pretty eyeshadow palette. I’ve just purchased the New Suqqu from your previous video . I think the clear gloss looks pretty over the TF lip liner . Do you think the gloss is worth the price tag though ? ❤
I love their glosses and they are worth it to me since I love their formula so much but the Lancome is a better option over celestial imo. Very similar shades and the lancome is about half the price.
How does the sparkle shade in the Tom Ford quad compare to Lisa Eldridge's Sorcery palette in the shade Mercurial from the sorcery palette? (I actually bought that shade after watching one of your videos!) I've seen loads of swatches of the Tom Ford palette and that topper is gorgeous! But it's pricey and the other shades are quite dupable. Would you say mercurial from Lisa Eldridge is similar to the Black Diamond topper? They both seem to have a whitish pink base with green sparkle, but the Tom Ford one seems to be more subtle and a bit more pink watching videos. Do you think they're comparable or very different?
I'll try to get some swatches up this weekend but I like the sorcery shade better. There's more shift to it. I think the TF is comparable but more subtle.
Hi Lexi, you said the Basna is the closest but it’s more pink white the TF High Altitude has more peach, right? So if you are to mix the basma with the CDP cream blush #4, peach, you should get close to the shade of TF high altitude, right?
@@LexiJong thanks for sharing your opinion.. among the holiday collections, so far I think I really like the Suqqu Snow Flurry blue palette and also the Dior Soir de Bal..
Yikes! I really like this Tom Ford palette, but I can't justify the $100 price tag. I'd rather have one of the Cle de Peau palettes if I'm in that price range. At least the Cle de Peau has that one unique primer shade and is refillable. Plus their packaging I think is nicer.
“Pretty Baby” quad is totally different quality…that third shade is stunning, the new quad is not. For me it’s $40-50 max for this formula, another $50 is for TF logo and that $2.8 billion acquisition by Estée Lauder.
I wore this palette yesterday and really liked the look, however, even-though I used glitter glue for the glitter shade, by the end of the day, I could feel something in my eye and it was irritated. I’m going to try it again because the look was beautiful! I did pass on the blush/highlighter duo. It’s the sticky part that scares me and the possibility of orange in the pink.

The pinky-peach matte shade in the quad reminds me of MAC Orb (maybe a more opaque version). Versatile and very usable.

Sisley Moonlight lip gloss would be a good comparison to the new Tom Ford Lt. Ed. Celestial. What do you think?
Most likely, it's the one sisley gloss i don't have, lol.
@@LexiJong LOL....guess you are going to have to pick that one up, Lexi. :)
Hi Lexi, is it fair to say that if we want to invest in a neutral palette, we do better buying the Givenchy 9.12 than this TF palette? Thanks
Yes i think that is fair.
Hi Lexi. Thank you for the detailed review, I’m looking forward to a few pieces that I’ve ordered. Do you have Sisley lipgloss in Moon? I wondered how similar that is to Celestial if you do.
Unfortunately that is the only one i don’t have!
Not to worry ….i shall probably cave anyway!
Hi Lexi, comparing to the Emerald Dusk, how are they compared in terms of quality/ powdery level/smoothness? Thanks
Comparable but the shimmer feels a little looser than that in the Emerald Dusk.
Thanks Lexi this is a really pretty eyeshadow palette. I’ve just purchased the New Suqqu from your previous video . I think the clear gloss looks pretty over the TF lip liner . Do you think the gloss is worth the price tag though ? ❤
I love their glosses and they are worth it to me since I love their formula so much but the Lancome is a better option over celestial imo. Very similar shades and the lancome is about half the price.

They both seem to have a whitish pink base with green sparkle, but the Tom Ford one seems to be more subtle and a bit more pink watching videos. Do you think they're comparable or very different?
I'll try to get some swatches up this weekend but I like the sorcery shade better. There's more shift to it. I think the TF is comparable but more subtle.
@@LexiJong Ooooh I can't wait to see the swatches! Thank you so much and for letting me know your thoughts! 💗
Hi Lexi, you said the Basna is the closest but it’s more pink white the TF High Altitude has more peach, right? So if you are to mix the basma with the CDP cream blush #4, peach, you should get close to the shade of TF high altitude, right?
I really hate to buy the TF Duo and waste the highlighter. Sorry for keeping bothering you.
I'm going to try swatching them later today after we are done carving pumpkins.
I think the new basma blush shade might be close to high altitude on its own though. I'll add it to my sephora list.
@@LexiJong wow, you guys are really celebrating big on Halloween!! Mind sharing your front of the house decorations?
@@Nathalie_Jackie we actually don’t have much outside. I need to get some at some point. Most of my decorations are inside.
That quad is very pretty Lexi...I haven't bought any Tom Ford for quite a while...they keep raising their prices 😢
Yes, unfortunately the prices are going up but the quality is not.
Hi Lexi, how does the Dior Soir de Bal formula compare with TF Black Diamond? Which do you prefer? Thanks..
They are different but probably comparable in terms of quality and performance. Personally, I prefer the Dior formula but they're close imo.
@@LexiJong thanks for sharing your opinion.. among the holiday collections, so far I think I really like the Suqqu Snow Flurry blue palette and also the Dior Soir de Bal..
That quad seems just perfect for my skin tone but the price 😮💨
I feel like you can get similar shades for less. Viseart and ESUM have similar shades aside from the shimmer in the top right.
@@LexiJong yes. Thank you 🙏
I bought the eyeshadow but thinking of not even opening it. I don’t think it’s worth $100 :(
Yes, $100 is a lot for this imo. I wish it was more unique.
All beautiful but too expensive for me 😢
Check out some of the comparison products for less expensive options.
@@LexiJong thank you for your advice!
For as much as you pay for Tom Ford palettes, I think the packaging should be more than plastic.
Good point!
Yikes! I really like this Tom Ford palette, but I can't justify the $100 price tag. I'd rather have one of the Cle de Peau palettes if I'm in that price range. At least the Cle de Peau has that one unique primer shade and is refillable. Plus their packaging I think is nicer.
I agree.
So much glitter!! Easy pass
“Pretty Baby” quad is totally different quality…that third shade is stunning, the new quad is not. For me it’s $40-50 max for this formula, another $50 is for TF logo and that $2.8 billion acquisition by Estée Lauder.
I agree - Pretty Baby is in a different class!
TY Lexi! I was really excited for this collection. I'm not excited for the price though😂
I really didn't expect them to increase prices so much so soon!
Same products every year....☹️☹️
I went with black diamond for my holiday eye look this year. I did pick up chanel milky way.
Enjoy!
Hi Lexi, so far which holiday collection is your favorite? Thank you for sharing ❤️
It's really tough to say as there are pieces from a bunch but Dior backstage is definitely up there along with hermes.
