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.
The Price
AUD 65

Thanks Anupama, glad you liked the pics :) I have been really enjoying matte eyshadows too, they look so effortless :)
DeleteUffff the pacaking is yummy and cute reminds of a big Nestle Bar that was discontinued a while ago,,,I absolutely adore the swatches in the 3rd pictures And I also wish if they consider adding at least the primer or even a brush since the palette is on an expensive side
