Last Saturday was the launch of Tom Ford cosmetics here in Ireland at Brown Thomas Dublin.

I attended with fellow blogger VJCowley who had her make-up done by a lovely girl named Kelly.The make up range itself is pure luxury, from the texture to the application it was quality. Kelly was well informed and told us all about the range, including the brushes.

The collection ranges in price from €45 for lipstick up to €75 for the eyeshadow palette. What I coveted the most though was the brushes, they are a mixture of natural and synthetic hair and start at €42 for the lip brush up to €100 for the larger brush, Tom Ford apparently favours Brush No 2 so if your budget is limited, you could purchase just this one.

There is no denying that these cosmetics are not cheap, so if your budget is limited it is a bit hard to spend this much on cosmetics without a guilty conscience and an empty purse.  After watching the application and seeing the quality of these cosmetics I would advise that if your budget stretches then do purchase the range. If you are not able to afford them then think about purchasing a lipstick or something smaller from the collection.

I don’t think you need to spend a lot of money to get great looking make-up but this was such a quality collection that I can only say that I think every girl deserves a little something special in her make-up case for those grey days, which lets face it we have plenty of in Ireland.
