Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar: The Sweet Eyeshadow Palette

I'm up to my eyelids in CHOCOLATE! I finally swatched my new Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette and I'm in love! If I had to sum up this Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette in one word, I would choose the word QUALITY. In comparison to last year's Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette, this one is sleeker (thinner & less bulky), the eye shadows are creamier and the majority apply exceptionally well (except for a couple). Too Faced has also engraved the names of the eye shadows ON the palette. The original palette only had eye shadow names printed on a clear sheet overlay. Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette has the same awesome chocolatey scent and mirror!

Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette contains sixteen eyeshadows, and it is described as a “deeper, warmer version” of the original Chocolate Bar palette. (Why couldn’t they have gone for a deeper, cooler-toned version instead? The first was certainly warm-toned!) Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette is decent overall with a few shades that could be better, but most had a soft, silky consistency that wasn’t too powdery but remained blendable. The formula here is thinner rather than really buttery or dense, but only a few felt dry and thin.

Original Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette

If you’ve purchased the original Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette recently, you may have a thinner version than the ones released initially. If you bought several months back, this palette is noticeably thinner (but the rest of it is the same, so they’ll stack). The magnetic closure felt weaker on the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette, which makes me a little wary for traveling, but it seems like it should be okay. Two larger-sized eyeshadows contain less product (0.07 oz. compared to 0.10 oz.) while the standard-sized eyeshadows remained the same (0.03 oz. each). The larger-sized eyeshadows look like they’re not as tall and are just wider than the standard-sized but keep the heights the same.
