Luxe Lips

With temps already hitting well into the 90s early this summer, how could one make it any hotter? By wearing a luxe lip courtesy of Tom Ford that is! The master at sex appeal has recently forayed into the world of beauty by launching a private blend lip color collection that will certainly turn heads. This new collection presents Tom Ford's personal color palette of twelve classic lip colors ranging from bare nude to fire red and deep brown, and includes exotic ingredients like soja seed extract and Brazilian murumuru butter.
