Those who love makeup usually love chocolate.  Since Too Faced knows it’s fan base, they’ve combined two of my personal favorite things and created the decadent Chocolate Bar Eye Palette for Spring 2014.

Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette ReviewWhat Sephora says about the Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette:

What it is:
A sweetly tempting array of 16 matte and shimmer shadows scented with real chocolate.

What it does:
This beautiful assortment of chocolate-inspired shades were formulated using real cocoa powder. Encased in a playful chocolate bar tin, the rich selection of the perfect browns, neutrals, and little pops of color appeal to every candy lover.

This set contains:
– 0.03 oz x 14 Eye Shadows in Gilded Ganache, Milk Chocolate, Black Forrest Truffle, Triple Fudge, Salted Caramel, Marzipan, Semi-Sweet, Strawberry Bon Bon, Candied Violet, Amaretto, Hazelnut, Crème Brulee, Haute Chocolate, Cherry Cordial

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
– Parabens
– Sulfates
– Phthalates

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.

They actually smell SO GOOD, not over powering in the least).

Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette Glamour Guide introAlso included is a How-To Glamour Guide, loaded up with three looks – Milk Chocolate, Semi-Sweet and Haute Cocoa.

Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette warningDon’t eat the makeup, you guys. Just don’t.

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s check out this palette!

Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette Review 1 Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette Review 2The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette is stuffed with 16 shades of treats for your eyes. I thought the quality of all of the shades was wonderful except for Candied Violet, which just felt a little dry (but very useable).  Other than that you won’t be hurting for fantastic pigment.

Your options for looks with this palette near unlimited.  While this palette has plenty of neutral shades there are also tones of purple and even a deep golden brown that hits as khaki in some lights (Gilded Ganache).

The value is phenomenal and the palette is compact enough to take on vacation, even featuring a mid-sized interior mirror.

Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette SwatchesFor the eye look below, rather than reference the included guide, I went for my own thing.  I started with a thin layer of Urban Decay Primer Potion.  Marzipan is all over the lid, Haute Chocolate is in the crease & outer V, Amaretto was used lightly above the crease and Champagne Truffle is lightly at the inner corners & to highlight. The top eyeliner is Urban Decay 24/7 Hustle Glide-On Eye Pencil & the lower eyeliner is NARS Puerta del Sol Larger Then Life Long-Wear Eyeliner and the mascara is Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant and Too Faced Better Than Sex layered.

      LMFAO You didn’t heed the warning!!! hahahah they wrote that for you 😉 Did you also try dog/cat treats when you were little 😉 Love you <3

    • Brooke says

      Me too! You know they were sitting around the table and were like… “it smells good enough to eat”! then it prob got all quiet and the lawyer in the corner was like “you need a disclaimer”.

    • Brooke says

      It blows my mind that a disclaimer is needed. TF shouldn’t have to cover that area. So unfortunate there are people out there who will eat the makeup. gag.
