Too Faced Chocolate Bar: Swatches + Review

On the last leg of my trip to USA, I had money saved up because i knew, from the very beginning of this trip, that I wanted to get myself a new palette. I was choosing between 3 different ones that ranged in prices, but I only had enough to get just one (*tears*). So, I ended up getting the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. I've heard so many good things about this palette and, to no surprise, it definitely lived up to my expectations about it. Although, I have to be honest, I was mostly sold by the yummy chocolate scent. If only we had some sort of smell-o-vision technology, I would let you guys smell the deliciousness of this palette!!!!

This palette has 16 decadent cocoa powder infused shades, some of which are matte, some satin, but most of the shades are shimmery. I think this is a wonderful all-around palette because it has a variety of neutral shades, highlight shades and a few pop of perfectly-wearable colors as well!

Here are the swatches by row:

Gilded Ganache, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Black Forrest Truffle, Triple Fudge

Salted Caramel, Marzipan, Semi-Sweet, Strawberry Bon Bon, Candied Violet, Amaretto

Hazelnut, Creme Brulee, Haute Chocolate, Cherry Cordial, Champagne Truffle

OVERALL REMARKS:

This palette has a great selection of colors but i think it needs a shadow that has a gray tone to it to make it have a complete range of neutrals (what do you guys think?). When it comes to pigmentation, not all the shadows apply smoothly. White Chocolate and Semi-Sweet, for example,were a tad too chalky and had to be layered on a bit for it to look opaque. But other than that, the texture of the shadows were easy to work with. This is the perfect palette to have if you're someone who is very into neutrals but at the same time like a pop of color from time to time. But fair warning, i wouldn't recommend this if you don't like chocolate because it is made with 100% natural cocoa powder. I, however, think that this was a solid investment because this product has 2 of my favorite things: makeup and chocolate!
