The Gold Chocolate
Bar palette by Too Faced contains sixteen different eye shadow shades, all which
are absolutely beautiful and mostly shimmery. I have talked a lot about Too
Faced before in the past, and it is obviously my favorite makeup brand out
there. I have a ton of their other eye shadow palettes, including all of their
other chocolate bar and peach palettes, but I do think this is one of their
best palettes they have ever created.
I was on the fence
about buying this eye shadow palette for a while. It does contain a lot of metallic
and shimmery shades that I wasn’t quite sure when I would wear or if I would wear this palette. In no way did
this palette seem to be an everyday, wearable, palette, and I was doubting what
kind of looks I could do with this palette. I didn’t think I would ever be able
to use this palette alone without having to use other eye shadows from a
different palette. My favorite saying, and this should be no surprise to
anyone, is a girl can never have too many eyeshadow palettes. So, of course I
needed this palette.
The first thing I found
to be different about this palette in comparison to other ones that Too Faced
has come out with is the packaging. The past chocolate bar palettes, and even
the peach palette, use a magnet in order to keep the palette closed, but this container
actually snaps shut. I personally find it better that way, but it does make it
a tad bit difficult to open the palette with one hand while your otherh and is
applying makeup. Another thing I love about this palette is the names of each shades.
Honestly, where do I apply to name these shades because that sounds like a
dream. All of the names are so catchy and witty. They each go along with the
gold/rich theme of the palette, and they’re so perfect.
When I was testing
out these shades, I instantly fell in love. Each eyeshadow felt so buttery, and
they were so pigmented. Trust me when I say a little goes a lot way. I doubt
you will be needing to spend a while building up these shades. These colors are
absolutely gorgeous. I can not express to you how much I love each of these
colors. It has been very hard for me to find eyeshadows that are shimmery or metallic
that I actually like. But these, I am obsessed with. There are some colors that
are more bold than others. I did find that any purple shade had to be built up
a bit. They were a tad bit opaque.
I need to warn you
now, these shades are incredibly shimmery. If that is your kind of thing, then
you NEED this palette. But, if you are more of a matte person, then I would recommend
skipping this palette. This palette was a bit more functional than I had
expected it to be. I have found myself reaching for this palette a lot more
than I had predictable. I think if you were to buy this palette, you would be
surprised by just how well all of the shades work together and how they look on
the skin.
