It’s got a great mix of mattes and shimmer, which us hooded eye gals will love. The colors are pinks, purple, taupes, grey and browns. Too Faced sent me this palette.

The left side of my swatches are on Too Faced Shadow Insurance primer and the right side is bare skin. You can see where my tape line is in most of the swatches, as eyeshadow never wants to stick to that portion of skin.

Black Currant
Brown with red-toned plum sparkle. When applied damp the sparkly purple is more apparent. Too Faced, why you gotta’ play with my my emotions? You’ve had real purples before, why not now? Why tease me with a shadow that looks purple in the pan but isn’t unless I apply it wet?

For this look I used Divinity from lashline to eyebrows. I applied Pecan Praline to the hood and the lower lid. I used Earl Grey to define the hood and blended it out. I smudged Earl Grey along the upper and lower lash line as well as the outer lid. I applied Cafe Au Lait to the lid, I also applied it as an inner corner highlight and under the brows.

For this look I used Divinity from the hood to the eyebrows. I applied Cashew Chew to the lid, hood, and lower lid. I blended Almond Truffle onto the hood and lower lid. I further defined the hood and outer lid with Bordeaux. I also used Bordeaux to define the upper and lower lash line. I mixed Totally Fetch and Sprinkles together for the lid and inner v I used Satin Sheets to highlight under the brow and at the inner corner.

First, I think the packaging is super cutesy, and in line with how Too Faced likes to do things – girly, cheerful, and bubbly. I don’t mind the heart shapes at all, as I had no issues getting my brushes onto the eyeshadows to get out color. However, if you don’t like cheerful and girly, you may dislike this packaging.

Second, I was overall impressed with the eyeshadow formula. I created two looks with the colors to play with them and get a feel for them after I swatched them. I didn’t feel like any of the shades had pigmentation issues on bare skin or primer, though they obviously look amazing on primer.

Now on to the colors. I’m very happy that there are so many mattes and satin-mattes in the palette, because that makes Chocolate Bon Bons very hooded eye friendly. The palette has 7 mattes (Divinity, Mocha, Almond Truffle, Malted, Bordeaux, Cashew Chew, Pecan Praline), 3 satins (Dark Truffle, Earl Grey, Totally Fetch), 3 shimmers (Cafe Au Lait, Cotton Candy, Black Currant), 2 pearls (Satin Sheets, Sprinkles) and 1 metallic (Molasses Chip).  It has a great mix of warm, cool and neutral tones.

What I DID dislike about the palette was that Black Currant looks purple in the pan but is mostly brown with purple shimmer instead of being a true purple. I wanted a real midtone or slighty deeper than midtone purple. I also wanted Bordeaux to be more of a burgundy shade than a brown with burgundy tones. Aside from those two shades, I find the pinks, gold, grey, and taupes to be very wearable. I’m not as fond of the browns, but you can create looks with those shades too.

  2. Looks wonderful. Love how cute they come up with all their packaging too. The colours are great too

  3. Thanks for sharing. Im not sure i love this one as much as other pallettes but its definately cute.

  4. The heart shape to each shadow in this palette is adorable but I love the pigments and colors in this, its hard to find one I dont really love! You made it so much easier to see all of the colors in the swatches so thank you for that 🙂

  5. I ordered this beauty the moment it went live at midnight PST (3:00AM where I am, lol). I LOVE THIS PALETTE SO MUCH!!! I am so happy to see so many mattes, pinks, blushy tones, satins, pretty colors that are super-wearable but still special, and THAT PACKAGING!!! LOVE!!! I have to agree with you on Bordeaux – I was hoping so much for more burgundy / less brown (pure burgundy with no brown would be my ideal!). It reminds me of my feelings on Cherry Cordial from the first chocolate bar. It’s a beautiful shade but the brown tone/s in it dominate the shade on my eyes.

    Ahhh I was also looking forward to THE PURPLE! It swatched sooooo purple on some people! I wore it wet along my upper lashline two days ago and while it was beautiful…I wasn’t feeling a Black Currant vibe which brings to mind that striking, very red toned violet. I imagined something very red toned, obviously purple or plum-purple (not “maybe purple”), and deep with a luxurious vibrance. I still love it but…I WANTED PURPLE-PURPLE TOO! Or PLUM-PURPLE! Just…100% THIS IS BEAUTIFUL PURPLE (like the Sugar Pop Palette). Pretty please!

    Overall…this is a LOVE for me!!! I will be using this palette a lot! I love the colors, the finishes, THE SMELL, and the incredibly charming packaging! I have the first Chocolate Bar but I don’t have the Milk Chocolate Bar…however, I think I can say without a doubt that Bon Bons is going to be my favorite! <333

  6. I am so excited about this palette. I love Too Faced, it’s one of my fave beauty brands, and this palette looks gorgeous. I’m especially loving Cashew Chew. I love the way they smell like chocolate and are so easy to apply, blend, and are so pigmented. Thanks for the swatches.

    1. It does but it will only show purple on me if I apply it wet. Otherwise it looks like a brownish shade to me. I wish it was more of a true purple.

  16. I just saw this one at Sephora, and although the packaging is totes adorbs I think I’ll skip this one. I just bought UDxGwen and a Viseart Neutral Mattes palettes, don’t think I need another one just yet.

  17. Nice swatches! I love the color of the burgundy, but I’d confuse me if I was looking for a purple and then it looked like that on the lid. And the two dark browns look almost the same to me.

    1. You know how I can see all the variations of teal and purple? I’m lacking that skill with brown. So I often feel like ‘that brown shade’ vs. ‘that deep ocean blue vs. the midtone teal green’

  20. Hey Phyrra, How is the color Totally fetch, is it cheer like Bubblegum from the TF Sugar pop?

  25. You do the best swatches. It’s such a pretty palette. I reminded my hubby to order one for me for Christmas. 😉

  26. Glad to see that the colors are saturated. It’s so cute! Of course I had to get it with my $25 Sephora Reward Card . . .

  28. I can’t say I love every shade but I’m like Allison and I’m buying it today. I have a thing for hearts and there are enough shades I’ll love. It is disappointing about the purple that isn’t purple though.

  29. Glad to see your post with the beautiful swatches and pretty eye looks because I placed my order at 5:30AM on Sephora with my VIB discount. I bought it primarily for the heart-shaped pans to add to my heart collection, but I know I can use a lot of these pretty shades
