This is my hand after a meeting with the Tom Ford PR to take a look at the new range of lipsticks soon to be launched. Not only was it a pretty colourful event (as you can see), I can report that my hands have never been so excited to get hold of a lipstick before. Everyone of the 12 shades is richly pigmented and satisfyingly creamy and I can safely say I would happily wear every colour – from the deepest rouge noir to the palest of nudes. Yes, at £35 a pop they are a little on the pricey side but I‘m confident it might just be the best £35 you’ll ever spend.

Private Blend Lip Color Collection, £35 available from Tom Ford counters from 24th April 2010
