Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate -01 Intensity One

My friend recently went to Singapore for a short trip and I got her to get for me the well known - Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate (There is a Tom Ford cosmetics store in Singapore- Tangs). There are 2 shades but I got the lighter one in 01 Intensity One. It is a very expensive product but I can understand why theres so much hype about it. Luxurious compact with a velvet pouch and simply is a beautiful product. It was SGD$100 but after GST refund, currency conversion, it was about AUD$80. You can get it at Harrods (they ship internationally but with a whopping shipping cost of  GBP$25) or at David Jones in Hay Street Perth and the price for this item is AUD$100. 

Description from website:

From Tom Ford's point of view, the first step to beauty is understanding the architecture of your face and bringing balance and symmetry to your features.

This duet of highlighting and shading creams is designed to make sculpting and contouring the face remarkably simple.

The super sheer, light shade can be used to draw light onto the skin to brighten and lift the face. The dark shade defines and contours bones while staying invisible to the naked eye.

About Tom Ford Beauty:
After gaining international fame turning Gucci into an icon of sexy, modern fashion, American designer Tom Ford introduced Tom Ford Beauty. The captivating collection includes heady fragrances and rich, intensely hued cosmetics. 

To be honest, I don't know how to describe the feel of texture... creamy and very emollient. Especially the highlighter part, it may look white in compact but no matter how many times I swipe, there's no much color, abit of white but more like a glossy glow... and somehow it gives that beautiful glow without any stickiness or oily feel and as for the contour shade, it's the perfect shade as contour for my fair skin.
