In the look above, I used the shades Milk Chocolate, Créme Brulee, Cherry Cordial, Hazelnut and White Chocolate.
Too Faced is a brand that I haven't indulged in for a fair while, which is strange seeing as back when I was just getting into make up, I had a huge stash of their stuff. Their lip injection lipgloss (I think that's what it was called anyway), was my first "high end" lip purchase and I can remember swooning over the collection like it was yesterday.
Their most recent eyeshadow release, the Chocolate Bar Palette*, had my attention from the offset and featuring 16 shades covering most bases in terms of finishes, I've not been left disappointed.
I've read mixed reviews on this palette, which mostly falls down to the price, but we'll get to that later. I'm personally really impressed with the shade range and although it carries your regular neutrals, which may I add I love, it has some more varied shades which have had me experimenting more than usual.
Gilded Ganache- a Dark Chocolate Brown with a Yellow Bronze Shimmer running through it- this has photographed with a somewhat Green tone, which is pretty bizarre.
White Chocolate- one of the two larger eyeshadows, this carries a matte pale Beige tone.
Milk Chocolate- one of my personal favourites and great for the crease, this is a medium Brown with a matte finish.
Black Forest Truffle- a Red Brown with a really pretty Bronze shimmer.
Triple Fudge- a matte Dark Brown perfect for a matte smoky eye.
Salted Caramel- a light to medium Brown that has a muted Orange tone and a matte finish.
Marzipan- a frosted, metallic Peachy shade that I personally adore.
Semi-Sweet- a matte medium to dark Brown with a matte finish.
Strawberry Bon Bon- a matte light Pink.
Candied Violet- a darker toned Violet with various tones of shimmer running throughout.
Amaretto- a medium to dark Brown with Red tones and a beautiful frosted finish.
Hazelnut- a medium to dark Golden Bronze with a frosted sheen. I love to run this below the bottom lashes.
Créme Brulee- a delightful rich, dark Gold that applied wet works incredibly well.
Haute Chocolate- a dark Chocolate Brown with ever such a Red toned frosted finish.
Cherry Cordial- a Plum Brown with shimmering fleck inside of the matte base.
Champagne Truffle- the second of the larger eyeshadows, this is a Pink toned White highlight with a Golden sheen.
I'm really pleased with how each and every shade works and find them all beautifully pigmented and easy to work with. They all blend out really well and even with the darker shades, I've never experience too much fall out.
The Chocolate Bar palette is made of 100% Cocoa Powder, which on opening, lets of the most delightful Chocolate scent which in my opinion, with my sweet tooth is never a bad thing, although I can imagine it to be off putting for those that aren't into scented make up.
Costing £45, this palette certainly is on the more expensive side of things, but is it worth it? I think it can be justified by cost per shadow, coming in around the £2.80 each mark, but if you're just on the market for a decent neturals palette and don't necessarily need all of these shades, then you can probably find as good and a more purse friendly alternative. That being said, I'm really impressed with it and do recommend it if you have a few spare pennies (or pounds).
The Two Faced Chocolate Palette is available to buy now in Debenhams and Sephora and I'd love to know if you're going to be making a purchase.
Right, I'm off to get some Chocolate...
