Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette - Review and Swatches (Pic Heavy) !

I was requested by the very lovely Varinder from Makeupmeandyoyo, the swatches for the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. Here is my review and swatches of the palette. 

This is a pic heavy post as I wanted to show the palette in all its glory :)

Background of why I decided to buy this palette over others

I didn't have any neutral palette before picking this up, and I was deciding between the Urban Decay Naked 1, the Lorac Mega Pro and the Too Faced Chocolate Bar. I eliminated Lorac Mega Pro as it has a lot of light shades which would not work for my skin tone. Between the Naked 1 and the Chocolate Bar palette, I decided to buy the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette as it has more matte shades as compared to Naked 1, as I wanted to use the palette every day. Having more matte shades makes it easier to create more looks.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette has a good mix of matte, shimmers, glitters and some pop of colors. It is good for creating looks for both day and night. The only color that I don't see myself using is the baby pink shade 'Strawberry Bon Bon'. I have the palette in the newer, slimmer packaging. I love that the highlighting shades work on my skin tome and don't look ghostly. The shimmer higlighting shade is beautiful for inner corner of eyes.

Gilded Ganache, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Black Forest Truffle, Triple Fudge

Salted Caramel, Marzipan, Semi Sweet, Strawberry Bon Bon, Candied Violet, Amaretto

Hazelnut, Creme Brulee, Haute Chocolate, Cherry Cordial, Champagne Truffle

The Good

• Good variety of colors and finishes
• Can be used for both day and night looks 
• Delicious chocolate fragrance and packaging
• Both matte and shimmer highlighting shades available 
• Both the highlighting shades are in a large size, so if they are used everyday, you don't end up finishing them faster.
• Both mattes and shimmer shades are smooth and pigmented
• Awesome magnetic packaging 

The Bad

• I would have preferred if it came with a primer or a brush.
• All shades are not equal, e.g., Candied Violet was not very pigmented, Semi Sweet and Strawberry Bon Bon are not the best matte shades. 
• I hate that the shade names are on the plastic sheet and not the actual palette.

Overall I think its an awesome palette and worth trying.

Loving Now - Chocolate Bar, Wings, Brows, Kiehl's and more !

In today's post I share with you things I have been loving lately.

I have been really enjoying Coconut Oil to remove my eye makeup. Using coconut oil to smear my makeup all over and having panda eyes at the end of the day is the most satisfying feeling ever. I love how easily coconut oil removes my makeup and also conditions my lashes. I did a post in the past about Ways to use Coconut Oil. 

I have previously mentioned the Kiehl's Patchouli & Freshrose perfume HERE. I have recently started using the shower gel from this range. Ahhh, its absolutely gorgeous, such a fresh, rosy and relaxing fragrance.  

I have been obsessing over Essie Enuff is Enuff and have worn it a lot this spring. I adore this shade. Check the Manicure Monday HERE. 

There has been a new addition to my makeup routine, I have started doing my brows. I have been using MAC Espresso for the same and it is the perfect color for me. 

If you checked my recent USA Haul, you may have seen I bought the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. I have been using it non stop since then. It is one gorgeous beauty.

I am loving the Loreal False Lash Wings mascara. It separates, adds volume, lengthens and keeps my lashes curled all day. 

I have been loving this elf Blush brush, its smaller than the other blush brushes I own and makes for a precise application.

USA Beauty Haul - Sephora, MAC and Drugstore !

Today is an exciting day as I am sharing with you my haulage from US. My husband was travelling for work and I obviously took advantage and hauled some stuff..

Sephora and MAC

From Sephora, I bought the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette and Kat Von D Tattoo Eye liner. I got some samples free Benefit They're Real mascara, Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline EDP, NEST White Sandalwood EDP, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo.

I bought MAC Peaches Sheertone blush and MAC Impassioned Lisptick. 

Drugstore Goodies

I bought the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Eye Palette as it has a good mix of neutrals and a bit of color and their eyeshadows are really good quality. I also bought the elf Eyelid Primer and elf blush brush. I have heard such good things about this Dove Hair Therapy Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo and so wanted to try it. 

Hope you enjoyed the haul. Have you tried any of the featured products ?
