How Much is TOO Much?

Tom Ford's new makeup collection launching this year



Beautiful packaging


Tom Ford, designer extraordinaire, is set to launch a full makeup line this year (see above). He already has made lipsticks that are sold in upscale stores for a super lux price tag. Rumor has it that a lipstick - one lipstick - will retail for $48! I totally understand the WANT factor (even though it feels like you NEED it to survive) but where do we draw the line here?



I'm totally guilty - I am a lux cosmetics snob (I did just buy a Dior lipstick), but it does get me thinking about how much money I actually spend on certain things. The "will it be worth it" factor pops into my head often as I shell out the cash for expensive beauty items. On the other hand, there is nothing like cracking open a brand new expensive lipstick and applying it for the first time. It's that "ahhhh" moment that just feels so...luxurious.



So the question becomes - how far will you go for a lipstick? Will you be trying Tom Ford's new makeup line? Here are some pretty fierce visuals for the campaign, which include Tom Ford himself...as usual =)
