 Hey guys, what is that welcome to my channel? I really think you guys are gonna like today's video because I am reviewing a multitude of luxury products that you guys have been asking for Two days ago, I posted my anniversary sale haul and I was like do you guys want a review of this Tom Ford set and The results were overwhelming. I think I should have filmed this one before the Charlotte Tilbury review But if you're interested in the Charlotte Tilbury sunset dreamscape palette set that was yesterday's video in today's video I I'm gonna do the Tom Ford set I'm also gonna cover the Nars pleasure trip cheek palette since the Tom Ford sets only eyes and lip and bonus my Sonia G Lotus set just came in so I'm gonna use a few of the brushes so far I've only used the base brush. I'm still trying to figure out what way I like to use this best So I'm not sure about this brush yet, and I'm committing a sin So Nia G always suggests that you should wash your brushes first before using them so that they fray out to become more fluffy. Um No, I need to play with these now and then I will wash them tonight and use them tomorrow But we're gonna cover these a little bit as well Make sure you check out this time stamps where I will label at what point I'm talking about what but we're gonna start off by talking about Very very quickly the Sonya G Lotus set. This is $215 I'm not gonna go too depth into this just because I'm not a Sonya G expert Honestly, I passed on the majority of the sets my mom's a big Sonya G fan So a lot of times I will borrow her set to cover them for you guys, but this set I need one of my own Okay, I've been very overwhelmed with brushes lately I work with so many great brush brands like I am set for life And so I've been very good about not buying brushes for myself, but then this came out and I was like I have to they're gorgeous and this Okay Anyways, I mean these are the most beautiful brush handles I have seen now three of the brushes are returning I believe they are now just undyed goat hair and then three are brand new There are a lot of amazing brush reviews on this set already I recommend Kelsey Brown at J's hers was very good and then kinky So I always does the best job of comparing and just really explaining the best use for the brushes So definitely check them out and there's a lot of other great ones, but we're gonna be using these today. They are $215 that's crazy. See that's why I don't buy all of the sets, but these are absolutely Beautiful, so we're gonna start off by using the NARS pleasure trip cheek palette set So this is $45 you can get it for the Nordstrom anniversary sale If you do not have a Nordstrom card, you are able to shop July 28th If you do have a Nordstrom card check online and it will tell you when you're able to start shopping at this point I think mostly everybody with a card is able to start shopping I know this is probably gonna annoy some of you guys, but it's fine. It's fine So this is $45 it says it's like $87 value It's not a $7 value, but it is a palette and palettes are usually some sort of a good value So right here is what the packaging looks like. It's this nice kind of corally hot pink The product is made in Italy and it has an 18 month shelf life and when you open it up Here are what the colors look like and one bronzer one highlight and one blush from what I could tell it seems to me That these colors are limited edition. There's no Laguna in here. Thank goodness It says this is a limited edition cheek palette featuring three new shades to contour highlight and pop Wherever you go, we're gonna do that. I'm gonna bring you close I'm filming at an odd time of day when the sun is directly in my face So I might have to change in my camera sections on and off throughout this So we're gonna start off with the bronzer brush I want to use the Sonia G cheek brush, but I feel like this is a bit small for bronzers So I'm actually just gonna pull my refer number five brush. Let me wipe it off really quickly I promise you there's no color on it. It's just spanked and we're gonna start off with this bronzer right here I've played with the blush just randomly, but I haven't used the actual products yet on my face Alone. Wow. This is really pretty. It is a gorgeous baked gelay formula All three shades are so you're gonna get really no pick up So you can be very very heavy-handed by the way my skin's peeling up there, you know that one little bit Why you didn't put sunscreen? Okay, that's what happened to me, but anyways, you're not gonna get any powder fallout I'm gonna turn the lights down just a little bit so you can get a better look at the color here. This is really beautiful It's blending on very beautifully. It's very hard to over apply I like this better than the bronzer in the Charlotte Tilbury palette if you were wondering because that's the most recent Bronzer that I've tried. This one has a little bit more warmth to it. It's just less pink I was gonna say red, but it doesn't look too red It's just kind of like a nice neutral bronzer that leans a little bit more warm and it looks really beautiful So I like that. I'm gonna use my cheek brush now from Sonya G And we're gonna use the blush and you can see that it has a shimmer So if you don't like those shimmery blushes or you have a lot of texture on the cheeks stay far away Or you know what? I have texture on my cheeks like screw it. Just do whatever you want Okay, so this is the one that I played with the other day, but I didn't actually play on its own I already had blush on so this is my first experience applying it on its own I like this brush. It's very versatile with what you can do with it. That's really pretty It has a little bit of rosiness to it. You know what? I don't love about this though I don't really like the glare that it has because I feel like when I looked in the mirror the other day And I wasn't sure if it was the other blush that I was wearing But I can see it happening again kind of makes me look a little punched in the face if the cast is wrong Yeah, I need to wash these This doesn't normally happen. They just are unwashed. I promise you Sonya G has like the best brushes in the world So ignore that happening here because I didn't properly care for them before using them Very pretty but I don't like the cast it leaves on my cheek because I feel like if the lights not shining on it I look a little dirty. I don't know if you guys are picking up on that But yeah, I was not sure if it was this blush or the other blush that I was using the other day But I think it's this one not too sure about this blush We're gonna use the highlight now now the highlight is a shimmering light pink by the way, the blush which is called Lucky Star is described as a caramel rose which is a Great description for that. So I'm gonna use the detail brush I'm gonna use that to highlight my mother wanted me to share her input with you guys So this is her favorite blush brush. She says it's so versatile So this is nice and soft. It's not too shimmery I'm gonna try it with the highlight brush that I normally use to see if it picks up the product differently So I normally use a synthetic brush. This is the Kaleidos H1 for highlight So I want to see if this gives me a little bit more glow No, this is just a really subtle highlight. I was thinking that the synthetic brush would pick up a little bit more color It's not super subtle highlight, which is very very trendy now. So that's not a bad thing So as far as my first impressions on this palette, it's fine, but I really don't love it I feel like I have a lot of other Nars palettes that I much prefer the colors here just aren't doing it for me I really love the bronzer. I think that's very pretty the blush I think looks it looks good in some lights and it doesn't look so good in certain lights So I'm still trying to figure this blush out Honestly, I feel like I need to put something a little bit more brighter on top of it just to make it look a little bit less Dirty, I don't know. It's see when I'm looking at her straight on. I really like how I look but When I look at it from a mirror far away, it's like a weird dark cast the highlights cute She cute she subtle. I don't know. I don't know if this is necessarily worth 45 dollars if I'm being honest It's a very limiting palette, but also it could be very convenient if you really like the colors Yeah, yeah, I don't know that it's the best thing in the world So we're gonna move on to the set that you guys have all been waiting for I am so excited about this This was my big purchase for the Nordstrom sale It is the Tom Ford Beauty I am lip set and I don't purchase Tom Ford as much as you would think The majority of the products that I've picked up from Tom Ford have been on a heavy discount from the CCO And this is still technically like a discounted set because it's a hundred sixty nine dollars and it has a two hundred thirteen dollar value I believe all of these products in here can be purchased Individually, but yeah, a hundred sixty nine dollars still hurts, but Tom Ford has good products So I was really excited about this so you can see it comes a gray box And you guys got me really excited about this because I spoke about this in the hall I was really only excited for the eyeshadow quad in here, but then you guys told me how amazing the eyeliner was So we're gonna have to test that out today. So let's talk about very quickly What's in this set? So the first thing that you're going to get is a quad in the shade coquette I do believe this is limited and new I've never seen this color quad before but again I'm fairly new in the Tom Ford world I don't pay too much attention as I do other brands such as Natasha Denona or Pat McGrath So I could be missing that that could be a re-release or a new name. You guys let me know We also have a full size of the extreme mascara And this is what I was talking about that I was super excited about if I can get it out There we go the eye defining pen which I discovered is double-sided in the hall and Then we have a little mini lip color in the shade impassioned which is it just me or does this like not go at all With the quad it's very odd to me that they paired these two colors together I don't know. We'll see today, but I just feel like these are weird to go together But I'm gonna put the lip color on first though because I'm looking in my viewfinder and my lips are looking crusty So impassioned it's described as a rich claret or claret. Excuse me shade with brown undertones The Tom Ford lipstick formula so good. I have like one Tom Ford lipstick. Wow. That's a good formula It's gliding on the lips with so much ease. This does have a little bit of a sheen to it Okay, so I'll probably go in with a lip liner and later But I just wanted to put something on my lips. This is a very mature red I have to say I just I feel like it doesn't fit in with this set But whatever we're gonna do that. So let's get into the coquette quad. It says beautiful dusty kind of Mavi palette We have one shimmer in here. There's none of his Jolay formulas in here Hmm, I have no clue what I want to do. So let's just get playing. We're gonna use the worker brush We're gonna start off with the deepest shade. I'm not gonna do any crazy techniques for Tom Ford I just feel like you don't need to that's not what it's about and I feel like when you swatch Tom Ford shades It's always a little bit disappointing and then you apply it like so am I zoomed in as possible here We are when you apply it like so you're just like dang That's pigmented and put a little bit in the outer third of the lower lash line and ladies and gentlemen This is why we pay what we pay for Tom Ford. It is Essentially doing the work for us. I'm gonna take a clean blender brush This is an ESOM S33 and boom that took like two seconds. That's why we like Tom Ford I know sometimes his formula can be hard to understand why it's so expensive I also struggle with spending $88 on a quad Only that and blend the edges See already. I'm like not liking how these colors are flashing. Okay. I'm gonna wipe off the worker brush This shade has some glitter in it. It's kind of an odd shade. I almost don't know what to do with it You see it and put this light shimmery shade kind of in the inner third of the eyelid just like that very sheer So you're definitely not gonna get a high-impact look with this and you can see that didn't even pool very pink I am having a little bit of trouble deciding how I want to use all four shades We're gonna take this glittery shade and I'm gonna well, that's actually really pretty I see it always shocked me on the eyes. Just put that down here So I definitely think to improve the palette though. These two shades look pretty similar on the eyelid They're definitely in the same kind of depth here. The tone obviously is different But there are only four shades in a quad so I feel like all shades need to be Intentional and have a purpose. I think these two are kind of too close together I'm gonna put this a little bit in the center of the lid just to see how it looks But I'm gonna apply that shimmery shade on top. You see what I mean Both of those shades are next to each other The only difference that you can see is that the shade in the middle has some glitter and the light pink shade does not But other than that they do look the same on the eyelid So again, if you're paying $88 for an eyeshadow palette, that's not what you want Okay, we're gonna do the gorgeous shimmery shade which is gonna make me like love this palette I'm just gonna put it right on top lots of layering today And you can see that adds that pop effect to the lid really pretty such a Sophisticated glitter if that's even possible, but I swear it is. It's a sophisticated glitter You know what I'm actually gonna do. There's a brush. I haven't used yet This is the soft definer brush, which is a perfect super small blender I'm gonna add in some depth with this plum shade right here. So, you know, this is not my favorite Tom Ford quad It's definitely in the color story. I kind of like, you know, taking a step back to reality here I don't think it's worth $88 while the effect is pretty. I do enjoy the color story Generally speaking, I do like this and I'm very happy that I got it in a set because it ain't all that for $88 I'm very picky when it comes to Tom Ford shadows because I feel like it's inconsistent whether or not I love them If I love them, I really love them. If I don't really love them That's important because we spent $88 for four shades. So it needs to be amazing This is one where I just feel like there needs to be a little bit more variety to really make it worth it Very pretty though. I do like it and I'm not unhappy with purchasing this set so far at all I just wanted to make you aware that that's how I feel about the quad. It looks really pretty This is like a gorgeous evening smoky eye And if you're into these grayish mauve-y kind of cool tones, you will like this quad If you like the Tom Ford formula, okay We're gonna move to on to this part that I'm most excited about The eye-defining pen you guys told me I was gonna absolutely love this and there are two sides to the pen So there's one side which is a little bit bigger and then there's one side which is a little bit smaller I am pumped about the small side. Let's figure out the big side first I know you guys couldn't see that. I'm sorry with the bigger side lots of control It was very very easy to use. It's not too watery. The only thing is I wish it was a bit more black Let me get the other side now. Can't get over how easy this is to use Like I was just using the Natasha Denona eyeliner that came in today actually released today And it's super duper black, but it did take me a little bit longer to work with it This is really easy to maneuver not too much product is coming out Let me try the smaller side now because when I swatch it this side was more black Oh my god, this is so tiny. I love it. Very interesting that the small side is more black So let's assume that this wears well not a hundred percent sure about that obviously, but this is one easy pen to use I just like that it didn't distribute too much product. So you weren't gonna make a mess It didn't matter how hard or how light you put pressure on the eyes it glitter across the eyelid I don't notice any product seeping into any fine lines on the eyelid I can definitely see where you all are coming from. So thank you for leading me in the right direction And I actually like both sides I like the bigger side because sometimes I like a bigger wing and not only that but I feel like it was super quick to apply I like going in with the smaller side for some detail work or if there's a day maybe that I want a really thin line I can see myself going in with the small line. So you guys were right This is a pretty amazing eyeliner pen and like I said, I tried that Natasha Denona today And I love how black it is, but this was a lot easier to use than the Natasha Denona Okay, so we have one mascara to try before I finish up the look This is the extreme mascara from Tom Ford. Let's take a look at the brush. Oh, she big This is a very very big mascara wand. I have very small lashes. So I don't know if I'm gonna like this I'm also extremely picky about mascaras just because they got these little lashes So I don't know that I like this but let me apply this really quickly guys I think I really like this mascara like the fact that you can even see my eyelashes right now as a win I think this is a really nice mascara for first try Wow Okay, let me put on some falsies because I can't live without falsies Then I'll be back to give you my final thoughts on everything. All right, you guys So here is the final look. I would never pair this lip and eye color together again But I like everything individually and I'll get into that But we're gonna start off by my final thoughts on the Sonya G Lotus set and I've only used it this one time and I haven't even used the builder yet Which is a really great pack of brush. I'm sure I will use this a lot But I can tell you that Sonya G is very pricey But she really does have probably the best quality brushes that I've ever used You know, I love my refer. I love my Wayne Goss But there's something about everything from the handle to the brush and the way they feel and the way that they apply that I really believe that Sonya G is gonna last you your entire lifetime and your children will be able to use them too I think you know it is worthwhile to invest in some really great makeup brushes because you're going to use them for forever and I speak from that with experience because when I first started to get into makeup my mom Passed down some of her. It was Trish McAvoy brushes and I have a Shanta Kai brush that she used So when I'm looking for quality brushes, that's what I'm looking for Like I want my daughter to use some Sonya G brushes So I genuinely believe that these are those very very pricey. It hurts your heart It hurts your wallet, but I think in the long run they definitely are worth it I mean, I wouldn't say go buck wild and buy every single launch I know some of you guys do no judgment here But I think if you can pick up one essential set that you feel fulfills What you would need and has the shapes that you would like and I think you would really love her brushes And this set in particular really speaks to me because I just I love the handles I think the handles are what made me buy this to be honest, so I'm happy with this the Nars Pleasure trip cheek palette. It's not my favorite from Nars Honestly, they just came out with their cheek palette the orgasm on the beach palette I much much much prefer that of course it doesn't have a bronzer, but I think that's so much better than this I love the colors and that much more, but you never know You might actually really love the colors that you see and you might like how convenient it is to just have one Blush bronzer and highlight all in one little tiny square, but for me I mean, I think there are better sets out there in this sale in particular And finally kind of the main star of today's video was the Tom Ford lip and eye set I mean, this is my favorite thing that I used in this video I don't know if I like it more than the Charlotte Tilbury because I loved the Charlotte Tilbury set But as far as value and what was most exciting to me. It was definitely This again, I still feel it's very odd that they paired this lip color with this quad I'm not gonna pair them together ever again, but I must say the lipstick formula. I'm not even wearing a lip liner It's stunning. It's comfortable not my favorite color, but definitely an amazing formula And it's just so cute and tiny and a nice addition to my collection Maybe during the holiday season when I'm more into red lips Now the quad there are flaws to it in my opinion And I'm extra picky and point out those flaws because the value of a Tom Ford palette is $88 and there's only four shades It's kind of insane, but I have to admit this with every single Tom Ford quad No matter how picky I get no matter how much I say. Oh, I don't wish this color was in here It pulls together at the end always with lashes. I'm looking at this quad and I love it I love the look that I'm going to cut with this So if you have the money to spend, I really like it if you don't have the money to spend don't spend it on this It's gorgeous and you guys were right about the eyeliner I'm really liking the eyeliner and even the mascara impressed me so all in all this Tom Ford set I recommend it. You're looking to treat yourself. I definitely recommend it. So there we have it That was kind of a speedy I get ready with me trying some new luxury products that have entered my collection And I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already I would love it if you would consider taking the time to do so and I will see you all in the next one Bye guys. Have a good one
