So while I’m enjoying my vacation you guys get to read about my oh-so-pretty and oh-sooo-expensive palette which I picked up while in USA. It’s the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette ($49 in Sephora online store, not available in Slovenia of course). The shades are made with cocoa powder which makes them smell heavenly. I am not joking either – every time I open up this palette I stand there for a good 10 second just smelling it. Weird? Don’t judge – you would do it as well, take my word for it. I could probably get away with eating this palette – the shadows are formulated without parabens, sulfates phthalates and all that other icky stuff.

I was really hesitant to spend this much money on a single product but when I swatched the eyeshadows in Sephora I knew this babe was coming home with me. While the packaging leaves me quite cold (I would prefer a sleek palette with better closing patent, not a juvenile chocolate-bar looking packaging), it’s what’s on the inside that counts. I can also mentioned that I dropped this palette twice now from about 1,5m high and there were absolutely no consequences to the shadows or to the packaging, so the quality is obviously there (but I still need to work on being less clumsy).
Let’s get into it – first, some swatches of the two larger shades – the illuminators/highlighters. Mind the names of all the swatches – it’s another palette where they put a lot of thought into coming up with name ideas and I LOVE them.
White chocolate is the top larger shade. This I normally use under my eyebrows (on the browbone). It’s a soft white with a little bit of fallout (especially when using EcoTools brushes, so maybe I need to replace those), but still a nice illuminating shade. This color could also be used all over the lid as a primer for something more intense.

The right one with the quite poor swatch (Champagne Truffle) is the bottom larger shade. This I use in the tearduct but I also used it as a cheek ilumminator and it worked just as well. It’s not too crazily pigmented which is probably why it works so well in any circumstance. View Post
