Tom Ford Peachlight Shade and Illuminating Duo Review & Swatches

Peachlight Tom Ford Beauty Peachlight Shade and Illuminating Duo ($89.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a new highlighting duo that included a pale pink and a darker rosy copper together. They could be used individually or together to add shine and warmth to the skin.

Scent Split Black Friday 2022

Scent Split Black Friday 2022 is here – and it’s one of the few fragrance retailers that actually has a sale at all! I received a “come back” coupon last week that was the same level of discount and finally purchased full-size bottles of Profumum Arso and Profumum Patchouly . You can also use the coupon on scent samples, which I highly recommend for trying out scents that you’re thinking about buying or just of scents you’ve always wanted to try but know you wouldn’t want a full bottle. I’ve used Scent Split a lot in the past for these decants! You can check out our full round up of Beauty Black Friday Deals for more sales.

Tom Ford Intensity 3.0 Shade and Illuminate Cream Contour Duo Review & Swatches

Intensity 3 Tom Ford Beauty Intensity 3 Shade and Illuminate Cream Contour Duo ($90.00 for 0.5 oz.) consists of two sheerer cream-based products designed to highlight and contour. This is the deepest duo within the range. I found the highlighter didn’t wear quite as long on me as the contour shade, but both products were sheer (as marketed), blendable, and forgiving.
