The ultimate dream gift for your lips

There are two schools of thought when it comes to lipstick… 1. It’s merely a mix of waxes, pigments and other stuff. And 2. Life without it would be incomplete. Sure, you can fall somewhere in the middle, but I believe you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced a Tom Ford lipstick. With so many shades to choose from, your perfect match (or matches) is right in front of your face—and I also believe they’re worth every penny. (And if you’re not prepared to drop $54 on a tube, a ton of shades are available in a smaller clutch size.)

This brings me to what may be the ultimate indulgence for Holiday 2017—or possibly a lifetime: The Boys & Girls 50-Piece Set—and there are actually two available versions, one of the more sheer and shimmery “Girls” in white-and-gold packaging and one for the more matte and pigmented “Boys” in mahogany-and-gold packaging. I truthfully don’t know if I could handle having to choose from 50 lipsticks every morning (or 100 for that matter), but I’d sure like the opportunity to see what that’s like.
