Too Faced Chocolate Bar

It feels like Christmas has just ended but as many people are in the midst of Lent, also known as a six week long period of chocolate deprivation, that means that Easter is just around the corner. What better way to feed both a make-up and chocolate addiction, than with the Chocolate Bar, Too Faced's latest palette which offers cocoa-infused eyeshadows.

Looks good enough to eat. 

When I was teenager I imagined working for Thornton's just so I could empty their ice-cream filled waffle cones from the shelf. As I grew older my desire to be employed by Cadbury/Mars/Green & Black's/Lindt/whoever makes Kinder Bueno as a professional taster was an unattainable saccharin-filled dream.

In reality, they'd have to crane me out of the factory. My colleagues would find me in cocoa bean coma surrounded by a haze of purple foil wrappers, discarded boxes and with broken Malteasers embedded in the ever-growing folds of my fingers.

Before this post reveals any more of my Daim bar addiction, I will revert your attention to the prodcut at hand. As soon as you open the Chocolate Bar palette, the sweet scent wraps your nose, tickling the back of your throat and making your mouth water for more.

Visually, this palette is  stunning. With it's sturdy tin case, it is perfect for travelling so you don't have to worry about the shadows shattering. The Chocolate Bar is laid out with sixteen delicious chocolate, honey and candy hues in a mixture of textures including mattes, shimmers and glitters. Too Faced thoughtfully included two larger highlight shades in the inevitability that they would be used the most. 

16 gorgeous shades made up of 7 mattes and 9 shimmers. 

The shadows are beautifully pigmented, buttery-soft, build-able and blend effortlessly into one another. The colours include:

• Gilded Ganache -  shimmering dark brown with olive and gold sparkle.
• White Chocolate - matte bream beige.
• Milk Chocolate - matte mid-toned warm brown.
• Black Forest Truffle -  burgundy with flecks of bronze/gold glitter. 
• Triple Fudge - matte rich deep dark brown.

The variety this palette offers will appeal to many make-up lovers and the niche chocolate bar packaging will satisfy your non-literal sweet tooth, making it so good that even your dog will want a taste.
