Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar & The Original Chocolate Bar Palettes

I have been a huge fan of the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette since it came out, so when I heard about the semi-sweet chocolate bar Too Faced is releasing, I freaked out a bit, then became skeptical. The debate was serious, but I caved and bought the new palette. 

First thing I noticed about the Semi-Sweet Palette, is that it is much thinner than the original. This is great for travel and the makeup hoarder like myself. Slimmer packaging = more makeup storage possibilities. The next packaging improvement is that the shadows are labeled! Thank the Lord! The original had a clear insert with the shadow names on it, which I have lost long ago.

Just look at this beauty! I'm so happy I purchased it, the shades are very neutral, wearable, and a little similar to the original, but they definitely created some new shades of browns and golds that I'm loving. Also like the original, it smells like heaven! 

By far my favorite row of colors. Those are so pretty and light I can see myself wearing them all spring with different pops of color.

Take note at the difference in packaging size. 

Side by side comparison of colors. I feel like the original had a cooler theme in shades and the semi -sweet is a bit warmer in tones. I like to think of the original as milk chocolate and the new one as dark chocolate.

The original in all it's glory. Notice the lack of names, thicker packaging, and cooler neutral shades compared to the Semi-Sweet Palette.

This bottom row is defiantly my favorite, especially around fall and winter time.

Both palettes are a great deal, smell amazing, have great pigmented, blend ability, and are wearable shadows. I like to recommend the chocolate bar palettes to all makeup lovers because it smells so dang good and so easy to use.

If your deciding on which of the palettes to purchase, I'd suggest figuring out if you prefer warmer tones (get the semi- sweet) or cooler tones (get the original).

If money is tight and you already own the original, don't worry too much, you won't miss anything drastically different, but if your a makeup lover it doesn't hurt to own another wonderfully packaged palette that smells like chocolate. Makeup & chocolate? I think Too Faced gets it.

Will you be buying the new Semi- Sweet Palette? Do you already own the original Chocolate Bar Palette?

Lorac Mega Pro Palette

When LORAC Cosmetics announced their holiday 2014 collection and the much anticipated LORAC Mega Pro Palette, the beauty community squealed in unison.

After the original LORAC Pro Palette, came the LORAC Pro 2, both of which are amazingly formulated with the perfect combination of neutrals, transition shades, and the ever so slight pop of color for a bit of drama.

At first I wasn't sure if I was going to get the LORAC Mega Pro, part of me is a little overwhelmed with the constant release of new palettes, I mean how much eyeshadow can a gal wear in her lifetime?

Then came the release date to order...

And you guessed it, I caved! Oh boy did I cave and I'm so happy I did! 

32 glorious shades ranging from the most wearable neutrals to the beautiful slightly shimmery jewel tones. I literally had an Indiana Jones moment when opening this baby. 

The shadows are just as creamy and pigmented as we've come to expect from LORAC Pro Palettes. 

The color range is phenomenal! If you only buy one palette for the rest of your life, this one would be it. You have every neutral matte shade a gal could need. Beautiful transition shades and just the right amount of shimmer, satin, and bolder color options. 

Seriously the beauty junkies dream come true. 

For more details stay tuned on my youtube channel, I'll be doing a LORAC Holiday Haul with LOTS of GIVEAWAYS in the next week, so make sure your subscribed to my Channel!

Did you get this sucker?
