Sweet or Sour? ❤ Too-faced semi-sweet chocolate bar palette review

I really do have an unhealthy addiction with palettes, eye-shadow palettes being one of my absolute favourites. However, I'm quite picky when it comes to eye-shadows and I consider myself somewhat an eye-shadow connoisseur. I love warm brown and neutral shades so when I saw Too Faced bring out the original Chocolate Bar palette I went absolutely gaga for it, buying it almost immediately. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed with the bulky packaging and ended up just not reaching for it that much, so when Too Faced bought out the next edition I wasn't that excited.

However, I got this beauty for Christmas and I am obsessed. Like the first chocolate bar palette, this one also smells of the most heavenly chocolate and every time I open the lid I get slightly hungry.

So as already mentioned, this palette consists of mainly neutrals which would make natural-fans rejoice. There is a wide mix of sparkly shadows and matte shadows which is really useful in a palette so that you can create multiple looks. The shadows are highly pigmented and creamy - they blend out just beautifully. Another plus of the palette is the two larger pans of highlight shades. I don't know about you, but I always get through my highlight shades a lot quicker than the rest so this is really useful. My only complaint would be I wish they had put Peanut Butter in a larger pan because it is the perfect crease colour for me and I know I'm going to get through it so quickly, but I know Too Faced didn't make this palette solely for me so I can't complain too much!

Too Faced are also cruelty free and as I am an ethical vegetarian this is always something I look for in a company.

For £39 you recieve 16 gorgeous shadows which you could use to create almost any look, the blue in the palette is also one of the most beautiful shadows I have ever seen and can instantly dress up this palette and allow you to create a night appropriate look.

This palette would be perfect for everyone - from people who love minimal make up and to people who love a lot (like me!) so if you don't own it already I highly recommend you nip out now and buy one.

Excuse the low quality photo but I just quickly wanted to share a really simple eye look using the palette.

I had worn this look all day and the staying power  is phenomenal. To create this I just put on a quick wash of Nougat all over the lid, Peanut Butter through the crease, Truffled in the outter V and I highlighted with Butter Peacan.
