I love all things Tom Ford - but I probably love lipstick more, so imagine the overwhelming sense of delight when I came across this little tube of luxe.

A super rich formula, 12 classic colors, a delicious chocolate scent - all in this Halston-esque package. What's not to love?

Well, the price maybe. At $45 a tube, it's definitely a splurge. But if you subscribe to the notion that nothing lifts your smile or your spirits faster than a fresh application like I do - then splurge on.

Tom was quoted as saying his mom would not answer the door without first applying her lipstick. Heck, I won't even answer the phone without a fresh coat.
