Sandra‘s Closet

One thing I believe in is that the right lipstick gives you more power. Pumpkin-inspired hues are the color palette for Halloween and are perfect for transitioning into fall as they help tired faces to look more vibrant. Incorporating a fresh contrast to every fall look, try to make your pout take center stage.

Here are my favorite lip products for orange lips:

Phyto-Lèvres Perfect Lipliner – 8 Coral by Sisley

Phyto-Lip Twist Tinted Balm – 3 Peach by Sisley

Baume De Rose Nutri-Couleur – Mandarina Pulp by By Terry

Lips & Boys – Connor 97 by Tom Ford

Lip2cheek – Curious Orange by RMS Beauty

Audacious Lipstick – Geraldine by NARS

Lip & Cheek Bloom – Orange Blossom No.07 by Burberry Beauty

«I love seeing a woman in a man’s suit. Why not have a lipstick named after a man?» – Tom Ford

My dearest ladies, it is time for you to meet the new boys. Tom Ford has it all worked out for us, lipsticks and the stronger sex, what else do we need. LIPS & BOYS is a 50-piece lipstick lineup that unveils now 25 new shades, literally 25 new boys, including for the first time, 10 modern matte shades, all available now for CHF 39.00 (2g) each.

From nuanced nudes like Bradley and Alexander to the unabashed bold reds of Nicholas and Dominic, all lipsticks come with specially-treated pigments that deliver pure color to suit our every mood. What I love most about them is the small size as they fit perfectly in my evening clutches.

My favourite shades? Patrick, a fresh and vibrant coral and Ashton, a rosy berry.

If you are living in Zurich, come and visit Jelmoli this weekend. You are invited to experience the new lipstick collection in the presence of some handsome male models – each of them representing another type of boy. And of course your favorite one will pose with you for a cute selfie that you can share on instagram with the hashtag #TFLIPSANDBOYS.

For all living abroad, the new shades are also available online HERE.
Have fun!

LoL, Sandra
