Today’s review is of an extremely popular eyeshadow palette that has been receiving a ton of buzz: Too Faced’s Chocolate Bar Palette. There are few things in life I can think of that have a stronger visceral connection than women and chocolate, so it makes serious marketing sense to have a palette that literally wafts the stuff up to your nostrils as soon as you open it.
Without further ado, I present to you the most delicious makeup in my collection:
This palette is packaged with a magnetized tin and 16 eyeshadows made with real cocoa powder. The inside also has a mirror and a plastic sleeve with each shadow name printed on it.
As you can see there is a nice array of neutrals spanning from traditional browns to pinks and even redder shades like burgundy and purple. I also thought it was really thoughtful to have the highlight shades be larger since realistically, they are used consistently for most looks.
THE GOOD:
The color variety and selection of this palette is wonderful. There are mattes, shimmers, glitters, and satin finishes so I can see this working on a lot of different people. In particular, all of the satin finish shadows glided on like butter.
THE NOT AS GOOD:
Not all the shadows were equally as smooth. Some of the mattes like Semi-Sweet were a bit chalky/patchy and Candied Violet also went on sheer and had to be layered for good pigmentation.
THE CONCLUSION:
Overall, the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette is a solid eyeshadow offering and one of my favorites as far as the popular wave of neutral palettes are concerned. There is a wearable variety of everyday shades that can take you from day to night. Just a couple shades aren’t as consistent in texture as I’d like, but for the most part the colors are really high quality with tons of pigmentation. It’s definitely a solid investment for the neutral lover who also loves the smell chocolate!
