i'm not a huge fan of Tom Ford and i'm not exactly excited about Estée Lauder's new super-prestige line they stamped his name on. i kind of don't trust their expertise when it comes to step up the game because it's their first time doing so (except from a few La Mer base make up products). and my doubts have proven to be justified since i've heard of many mixed reviews. maybe a few product generations later when they have defined themselves a bit more than what they are now thanks to the name embossed on the packaging and regular Estée Lauder quality inside some fancier compacts, bottles and tubes; when they found better production partners to fulfill the needs of the ladies and gents who willingly toss out their cash for some prestige products but also expect to be blown out of the water - maybe then i will also dip my antennae into the colour make up. i don't mean to defame the quality of EL products, but if you charge 50%+ more on the pieces, you have to deliver.
