Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Palette, $49 at Sephora
I love chocolate and this palette is just as good as my favorite Dove bar only it will last longer!
Besides being really cute these shadows are just about perfect. I was so happy with the A Few of My Favorite Things Palette and this is the perfect follow up. I love a nude-ish palette as I’m sure you’ve noticed but this is a colorful twist on one. I feel like this palette answers the question what shadow shades work best with bronzy/gold nudes? The answer is a little purple, burgundy, and don’t forget to add a few mattes in the mix!
I picked this up from Sephora online and am so glad I did. There are quite a few matte shades (yay!) and some amazing shimmers. Fall out is not bad and blending is easy! Too Faced you must continue knocking these types of palettes out…I’ll be picking them up promise.
Lets take a look at swatches. Click on a pic to see the shades up close!

Just beautiful!
I’d say my favorite shadows are Cherry Cordial, Gilded Ganache, Semi-Sweet, Salted Caramel, and Haute Chocolate. I have a lot of favorites. I am not in love with Strawberry Bon Bon, Champagne Truffle, and Black Forest Truffle. I think Black Forest Truffle is such a pretty shade but it has more fall out than the other shadows. Candied Violet has a similar texture but seems to hold together or stay put a little better than Black Forest Truffle. I almost always do my eyes first so I clean up my under eye area with a makeup wipe.
Check this palette out. I think if you swatch it you’ll know if its right for you. And guess what else this palette has going for it….IT EVEN SMELLS LIKE CHOCOLATE! You read that right it smells like a chocolate bar. Too Faced Cosmetics, I salute you. Best idea ever.

What else you need to know:
Too Faced Co-founder and Creative Director Jerrod Blandino learned of the healing properties of cocoa while getting a chocolate facial in Maui. With Chocolate Bar he created a first-of-its-kind palette that combines the healing benefits of chocolate with richly pigmented, velvety smooth shadows. Chocolate has been used for centuries for its soothing properties and to protect, condition, and heal skin that has been damaged by sun and wind. Studies have shown that the scent of cocoa powder can increase memory and brain power.
Come to me my precious!! *palette whore swoons*
We are both whores cause damn it palettes like these I will cave on every time.
Exactly! Palette whores unite!!!
Since I’ve been doing my weekly palette play, I’ve been looking at the palettes, quads, etc that I have already purchased in a new light. Some I know I got “caught up” in the hype and if I had to go back and repurchase them I wouldn’t. Smh. Gonna do better with future palette purchases. This one however looks good and I know I’m gonna like it.
Yeah there are a lot of good palettes out there but just a few of them are GREAT.
Go away, you enabler! I’ve been looking for this at Sephora stores but I guess I’ll have to order it online. How long does the chocolate scent remain?
I can smell it slightly when I open up the palette but when I use the shades on my eyes it isn’t something that I can smell throughout the day or anything. I guess its too far away from my nose:)
I bought this palette as soon as it was available on the Sephora website. I absolutely love it and have to remind myself that I have other eyeshadows too! I do smell the chocolate ever so slightly for maybe an hour or so after I apply my makeup. Bonus!
I can’t smell it at all. Must be my allergies! Thanks so much for commenting:)
I got mine on Saturday. Had to return somethings and used the credit to get this. A definite win. I’m with you and Jen, I am a palette whore and I just can’t resist.
I see a new one and freakin lose it!
Pretty! When are you going to swatch the It Cosmetic Naturally Pretty palette?
I should get a chance to do that soon. It hasn’t been sunny all week but this weekend it is so I might be able to.
