Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette Review!

I'm not usually an impulsive shopper. I usually read soo many reviews before I even decide if I wan't to buy something, especially makeup! But I was scrolling down my Facebook feed and saw that Too Faced posted a picture of this Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Collection. I immediately went to sephora.com and purchased it.

I think the reason I purchased this so quickly is because it appeared to be very versatile with its mix of matte, shimmer, and glitter shades! I've already gotten some questions about this palette, so I figure I should go ahead and review it now. Right now this is available at Ulta, Sephora, and the Too Faced website.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Collection

-Price: $49

-Contains 16 eyeshadows

These eyeshadows are housed in a cute chocolate palette! It's very durable, and it has a magnetic closure.



The palette also has a decent sized mirror. Inside is a plastic sheet that tells you the names of each shade of eyeshadow. I really wish the names were actually on the palette, so I wouldn't have to keep up with the sheet.

Inside are 6 matte eyeshadows and 10 shimmer eyeshadows. 2 of the shimmer shades have some glitter too. The shades White Chocolate (matte cream) and Champagne Truffle ( shimmery light pink) are larger than the other eyeshadows.

Here's a closer look at the left half of the palette:

Swatches of the left half (from left to right): Gilded Ganache, Salted Caramel, Hazelnut, White Chocolate, Marzipan, Creme Brulee, Semi-Sweet, Haute Chocolate

And here is the right side of the palette:

 The right side of the palette swatched from left to right: Milk Chocolate, Strawberry Bon Bon, Cherry Cordial, Black Forrest Truffle, Candied Violet, Champagne Truffle, Triple Fudge, Armaretto

The shimmer shades in this palette really impressed me because they all have excellent color payoff. The glitter in Cherry Cordial, Black Forest Truffle and Candied Violet is beautiful. I also don't experience much fallout with those shades which is pretty surprising! Creme Brulee is a pretty eyelid color, and Champagne Truffle is an excellent highlight shade!

The matte shades were a little less impressive. Some of them were a little streaky, especially Strawberry Bon Bon and Semi-Sweet. I have done eye looks with most of these shades already, and the matte shades are usable. Milk Chocolate is actually a great blending shade for me. I would recommend making sure you use a good primer before using these.

I have no problem with fading or creasing with these when I use a primer. So far I've used these with a few different primers and these lasted the whole day with all of them!

One really unique thing about this palette is all of the eyeshadows contain cocoa powder, so it smells like chocolate!! The smell really goes perfectly with the theme of this palette, and I love smelling chocolate while doing my makeup!

To summarize, this palette is very versatile can be used to do natural or dark looks, and it has a great mix of shimmer and matte shades. Almost all of the shades have great color payoff and blend easily. But, a few of the mattes are a little powdery and lack in color payoff, and I wish the names of the eyeshadows was on the palette. This palette is good for the price though, and I think a lot of neutral/chocolate lovers will enjoy this!
