Gyaru Generation: Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette Review 🍫

Hey gals!

Today I have a review for the Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette. I have been using this palette for the past couple of weeks and I really love it! heart

I know I am a little (or maybe a lot

) late on getting this palette, but.. better late than never!

I will be breaking this down into 2 parts. The overall review and swatches + more detailed review of each color.

Review

Shipping and Service:

Too Faced is a very popular brand that has many fans of their products (including myself). Their customer service is amazing. The company packages everything up so cutely and they throw in free samples with your order.

Sadly, one eye shadow in the palette was busted when it arrived.

Now this may have happened when the palette was already shipped out, so I am not blaming Too Faced for this. Another reason why I am giving the shipping a lower rating is because the palette arrived a little later than expected. It was not too big of a deal, but still significant enough to mention.

As you can see, Cashew Chew is a lot closer to hitting pan than the other colors, due to most of it being busted out. OTL

Quality:

Too Faced never disappoints when it comes to quality. These eye shadows are super pigmented and feel soft on the skin. All of the shadows in this palette are amazing, but their are some shades that are just.. BAM!

absolutely stunning. None of the shadows look the same, but they are all wearable. This palette is perfect for anyone as it can create so many different looks.

Packaging:

It's pink... so it already wins.

The packaging is what caught my eye, I was ready to buy it before I even knew what was inside the pretty packaging. Other than the pretty pink tone of this palettes exterior, it also has magnetic closure, which is nice and makes the palette more sturdy.

Can we also talk about the eye shadows being heart shaped

Adorable.

Price:

Too Faced isn't a cheap brand, but it also isn't out of this world expensive. I didn't even realize how much this palette had to offer until I was doing the swatches and there are 16 unique shades.

You can buy this one palette and be set for your eye makeup. The price is definitely worth it.

Overall:

This palette is amazing. You will not regret purchasing it, and will get so much use out of this palette. It has mattes and shimmers and it has the colors you would need for a neutral base or a smoky crease but also offers some shades that will give a pop of color.

Swatches

Sprinkles: Peachy pink shimmer that is great for the inner corner and also the tear bags. This shade is not the most pigmented but it applies very smoothly and is very pretty with a neutral smoky eye.

Bordeaux: Copper-y brown matte. The name is a little deceiving since this shade isn't as red as a Bordeaux color would be. This shade is great for the crease and outer corner of the lid. It's a beautiful shade that could be worn with most of the other colors in this palette.

Earl Grey: Brown matte with grey undertones. This shade is a bit too dark for my liking, but if you like doing more dramatic looks then this shade would look amazing. I think this color would suit rokku and darker onee looks.

Divinity: Matte ivory. This shade blends right into my skin, so sadly my swap isn't very effective. OTL. This shade makes an amazing base color, especially for more casual looks.

Satin Sheets: Champagne shimmer with pink undertones. This color is the most gorgeous one in this palette. It is very pigmented and can be used in many different ways. You can use it in the inner corner, brow bone, under eye, or as a color on the lid. My favorite way of using this shade though, is as a highlighter. It looks amazing on the cheek bones and cupids bow, especially since it's summer so the golden peachy color of this shade is appropriate.

Cotton Candy: Light pink shimmer. This shade is a cooler pink tone unlike sprinkles which is much warmer. Since my skin has more blue undertones, this pink shade looks very good on my skin and is great for adding a pop of color to a makeup look.

Cafe Au Lait: Beige shimmer. Although this color looks more grey in the palette, on the skin it is more brown/beige. I have many other eye shadows similar to this color so I am not as impressed, but it is still a great shade that can be used as a base or as a transitional color from your light base to the darker outer corner color.

Totally Fetch: Berry pink matte. This shade is the only one with noticeable fallout and applies streaky. This may be because this shade is the boldest color of them all, so the coloring reacts differently with the formula. I have yet to use this color.

Almond Truffle: Pink and brown matte. This shade was one that I was very excited to try. This shade is perfect for hime kaji makeup looks as it isn't too dramatic but creates the perfect base for the lashes. I love to use this under the eye and the outer corner.

Cashew Chew: Light matte brown with grey undertones. Ahh yes the shade that did not survive it's long journey to my mail box. This shade is like a more brown version of divinity. It makes a great base color but isn't very pigmented so it can only really be used as a base color.

Dark Truffle: Dark brown shimmer. I am so glad they included both darker shimmer and matte shades. This shade is gorgeous and looks amazing as an outer corner and crease color. This shade has to be one of my favorites.

Pecan Praline: Medium matte brown with grey undertones. This shade is okay, but there isn't much to say about it. It can be a great transitional color just like cafe au lait, except the matte version.

Molasses Chip: Golden shimmer with champagne undertones. This shade has amazing pigment and is gorgeous under the eye. If you want to look like a glowing goddess use this on your brow bone and inner corner.

Mocha: Reddish brown matte. This shade goes perfectly with molasses chip and is actually more red than Bordeaux. This shade can look a bit patchy sometimes so it definitely isn't the best, but it's still usable and looks great.

Malted: Matte dark brown with golden undertones. I have to say that malted and dark truffle look quite similar... but malted can be used with the more golden shades while dark truffle can be used with beige and champagne colors. Malted is another great darker shade.

Black Current: Shimmery purple with red and brown undertones. This shade is GORGEOUS. I think this color will be my go to crease and outer corner color in the fall. It looks a lot darker in the packaging, and kind of out of place as it appears to be a blackish purple but on the skin it works well with other colors in the palette that also have the reddish brown color but gives a hint of purple to the look.
