Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette Review & Swatches | EmmysBeautyCave


Can we just take a moment to appreciate how stunning this palette is?! I had wanted the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette for the longest time and i finally got it for my birthday in January. I was so excited, can you blame me! When you first open the palette the smell of chocolate is just mouth watering, even two months later it still smells of chocolate every time i open it. I thought the smell might have drifted away but it definitely hasn’t. I have to admit there are four shades which let it down but the other shades are perfection!

Top Row

Gilded Ganache | This is gorgeous dark brown with shimmer, i find this shade has quite a bit of fallout compared to the other shades. But the fallout is more chunks of glitter rather than shadow. Still this shade looks stunning when applied.

White Chocolate | The perfect matte base shade. Perfect for all over the lid and brow bone to create a blank canvas. 

Milk Chocolate | A warm toned matte brown, i am always using this as a transition shade.

Black Forest Truffle | The first let down shade in the palette! As you can see from the swatch it lacks pigment. I am gutted as in the pan it looks like a gorgeous deep purple shimmery shade.

Triple Fudge | The second let down shade!! Again it just lacks pigment, i find if i am using a small detail brush like the Zoeva 230 Pencil Brush i can still use this shade well.

Middle Row

Salted Caramel | One of my most favourite shades!! How stunning is this?! It is a matte warm peachy shade which looks gorgeous in the crease.

Marzipan | Eurgh how pretty?!! A gorgeous champagne shimmer. This shade looks gorgeous all over the lid with Salted Caramel in the crease. That is my go to look at the moment. 

Semi-Sweet | This is like Milk Chocolate just slightly darker. I love to use Milk Chocolate as a transition shade and then this shade just underneath as a dark transition.

Strawberry Bon Bon | Pink eyeshadow isn’t usually my thing but lately i have been converted. I love this all over the lid or in the crease with Marzipan. 

Candied Violet | One of the most disappointing shades for me. In the pan it looks like the most beautiful violet shimmery shade but when swatched you get barely anything.

Amaretto | I love this shade. It is a reddish brown shimmery shade, it looks lovely all over the lid or in the crease.

Bottom Row

Hazelnut | Pretty or what? Literally as the name says it is a hazelnut shimmer brown which honestly looks lovely on. 

Creme Brulee | Along with Salted Caramel and Marzipan this is my favourite shade, the most stunning gold shadow i own! All over the lid this is just perfection.

Haute Chocolate | This is similar to Hazelnut but slightly darker with a gold hint to it. I love this all over the lid or as an outer corner shade with Creme Brulee.

Cherry Cordial | A deep reddish purple. In the swatch it looks slightly patchy but once i apply with a brush it isn’t patchy at all. It makes the most gorgeous crease and outer corner shade. 

Champagne Truffle | Save the best till last right?! I LOVE this highlight and i love that you get a larger pan of this. As a brow bone highlight it is stunning. 

All in all this is a beautiful palette, even though it has three let down shades i would definitely buy this again!
