Tory Burch Beauty and Fragrance Collection
6:07:00 PM
Yes, you ladies read that right. Tory Burch Beauty and Fragrance is finally available here in Cebu. It is located at Rustan's, Ayala Center Cebu. I was invited by the Tory Burch PH team a couple of months ago for an intimate launch held at Radisson Blu Hotel here in Cebu City.
Tory Burch Beauty Capsule Collection
Natural.Polished.Super Chic
Luminous skin, a hint of cheek color and a simple, pinky nude in super-chic packaging define Tory Burch’s entry into beauty. Inspired by Tory’s love for a natural and polished look, her collection offers a ton of chic with a hint of tomboy.
The capsule collection helps to create this look, effortlessly, with a few essentials — a lipstick; a lip and cheek tint; a bronzer and blush palette; and a retractable face brush — in colors that flatter a range of skin tones.
The Tory Burch Lip Color (Php 1,650) in Pas du Tout delivers a sheer veil of color in Tory’s signature shade of pinky nude. It’s the ultimate in streamlined simplicity with its creamy texture, faint shimmer and universally flattering pale neutral pink shade. Following in the tradition of the world’s most exquisitely crafted cosmetics, the lipstick is scented with subtle notes from the fragrance including cassis, grapefruit and mandarin. “Pas du tout” was a phrase often used by Tory’s father, Buddy. It’s part of the original French version of the classic “she loves me, she loves me not” daisy petal-pulling game.
The Tory Burch Lip & Cheek Tint in Cat’s Meow (Php 2,350) is the ultimate versatile product, designed to add a hint of rosy pink color that works with a range of skin tones. The formula blends easily, creating a healthy, natural flush with a sheer, dewy finish. The tint is lightly scented with notes from the fragrance, including cassis, grapefruit and mandarin. “Cat’s meow” is a bygone phrase—loved by Tory and often used on The Tory Blog—for people, places and things that are just generally fantastic.
The Tory Burch Bronzer & Blush in Divine (Php 2,500) features three skin-brightening, luminous shades – in pink, gold and ivory - pressed into one palette. Pink offers a youthful accent, gold gives a healthy glow, and ivory helps to achieve an even tone. With a single quick sweep, a trio of bronzer, blush and highlighter combine to create a healthy, sun-kissed glow year-round. The effect is, in a word, “Divine”—a signature expression of Tory’s mother, Reva. The delicately scented palette is infused with notes of mandarin, tuberose and vetiver.
The Tory Burch Face Brush (Php 3,300) is an effortlessly chic way to apply bronzers, powders and blushes. A makeup bag essential, its extra-soft bristles adapt to the contours of the face for flawless application. Compact and portable, the brush retracts into a polished gold case — the ideal tool.

I was lucky enough to pick my choice of lipstick shade from the line and I got the shade "Knock on Wood". It is the darkest shade from the bunch if you look at the tube. However, this has a sheer formulation so, the color applies just right on my lips.
Tory Burch Lip Color in Knock on Wood Swatch
* exquisite and one of a kind packaging
* very hydrating and moisturizing on lips
* smells like a citrus flavored candy in my opinion (it is by far the best smelling lipstick I have tried)
* stays for a good 4 hours on my lips before it starts to fade
* leaves a little bit of stain on my lips
* no allergies or irritation experienced
What I don't like...
* a bit pricey, but it actually cost less for a high-end brand
* the whole lipstick line has the same sheer formulation, I hope they come up with matte ones soon.
Introducing Tory Burch, The First Fragrance
Tory Burch’s first fragrance is a modern, colorful interpretation of the collection she has created. Classic and unexpected, the fragrance captures the casual ease and polished optimism that define Tory’s aesthetic.
“Fragrance is part of my personal history — my parents each had their favorite scents that are so tied to my memories. When we decided to create a fragrance, we spent a lot of time thinking about what it should be — a balance of femininity and tomboy, citrus and floral, grounded and graceful,” says Tory.
When creating Tory Burch Eau de Parfum, Tory felt it needed to have something grounded to anchor it, like her father Buddy Robinson’s signature vetiver. Vetiver has a dynamic, earthy quality to it — unfussy and unexpected.
For brightness and optimism, there are citrus and fruit notes like crisp grapefruit and mandarin, sweet bergamot, succulent neroliand tangy cassis.
For a more classically feminine component, florals such as saturated pink peony, lush tuberose, luxurious jasmine sambacand sweet alyssum are included.
Woodsy, warm cedar and sensual sandalwood give it real depth and complexity.

The elegant packaging is a nod to her mother Reva Robinson’s bedroom vanity and the classic perfume bottles and atomizers that graced it. The super-chic glass bottle features many of Tory’s favorite design elements: clean, beveled edges and a signature fretwork top. Fretwork is a recurring design element in Tory’s life, from a pair of Chinese Chippendale chairs in her childhood home to the brass details at the Tory Burch Madison Avenue flagship.
You all know how much I adore citrus scents, so this fragrance is actually one of my current faves. I would highly recommend it to you ladies. I swear you'll love it!
Tory Burch Eau de Parfum, 50 ML retails for Php 4,750 while the 100 ML retials for Php 6,150.
You can find Tory Burch at Greenbelt 5, Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’sShangri-la and Rustan’s Cebu.
By the way. Check out The Beauty Junkee's 6th Anniversary Giveaway. She's giving out about Php200,000+ worth of prizes and it's open for both local and international readers!
Until next time.
Cheerios!

Never heard of this brand, but the products look so gorgeous! I did expect the lipstick to be a little bit more pigmented though.

Yasssss, saw TF's makeup online maybe a year or so ago, but I've never actually seen it in real life! THE LIPSTICK PACKAGING THOUGH. THE EMBOSSING. I'm actually a sucker for sheer lipsticks (even better if it's citrus scented ;)), so I might try and look for these in a TF store, maybe.
ReplyDeleteI do wish the blush was in better packaging though. It's so ~basic~ LOL
that packaging is soo luxy <3 and tama they should really go into making a matte line, sheer doesnt really work for me hihi!
ReplyDeleteLove the shade you picked! What more if matte siya and medyo mas opaque onte :) Super like the packaging of these pati pabango. Since you love citrus scents, maybe you'll like ung Guerlain na mandarin! :)
