Tom Ford Boys & Girls Lipsticks

Here come the girls...!!! Following in the footsteps of Tom Ford's Lips & Boys collection (which we swooned about here) comes a 50-strong collection called (yes) 'The Girls'.

And yes, you read that right. 50 lipsticks! While The Boys (also now a collection of 50 shades) offers rich, creamy finishes and metallic options in daring, bold shades, this new collection is designed to be ultra-moisturising and lip-quenching.

Think: 25 full-coverage, glossy formulas – and 25 more sheer options, all with a gorgeous luminosity. They range from strong reds to nudes (and everything in between). How we'd put it is: The Boys are for after-dark. The Girls you'd want to hang out with in the daytime.

The clutch-sized (i.e. somewhat downsized) lipsticks are, we're told, layerable for an even more customised finish. (Though at £29 each, we don't know too many women who'd go beyond a single perfect shade, with so many to choose from.)

Want them all? (We do, we do.) Your wish could come true: at Christmas, there'll be 50-piece Girls Lip Color and Boys Lip Color Sets – for a cool £1,500 each.

Lottery scratchcard, anyone?
