Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar and Spring 2015 Review
Today I’ve got the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette, along with the Spring 2015 collection, to share with you. I also made a video to share the collection and do a comparison between the original Chocolate Bar and the new Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar.

On the left side of the picture I have Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation in Fair on my skin. On the right side I’m wearing no foundation. Fair is darker than my skintone. I believe the Cocoa Powder Foundation actually launched with Fall and not Spring.
Carrie & Big
Light to medium bronzer with slight shimmer combined with the perfect pop of coral blush
Ross & Rachel
Medium to deep bronzer with slight shimmer combined with the perfect pop of pink blush
I really adore the packaging for the bronzing hearts! It’s so cute! I also love the design in the powder…
I’ve got a confession to make. I was never a Friends fan. I didn’t care about Ross and Rachel. I watched some of Sex and the City, so I did like Carrie & Big.
If you have extremely pale skin like I do, you will find these too dark and orange. However, if you’re in the more normal range of foundation shades, they will probably be quite flattering.
In my video I compare Sugar & Peony, Frosting & Nude, Strawberry & Ruby, Velvet and Berry.
I feel like Velvet and Berry are close. I love Strawberry and I think it’s a much brighter red than Ruby. Ruby is a great blue-toned red. I found both Frosting and Sugar surprisingly wearable. I wasn’t sure if they would look good on me because they’re so light. Sometimes colors like that (ones that verge on pastel), make me look strange.
All eyeshadow swatches are on primer.
Row 1 – Butter Pecan – Blueberry Swirl – Puddin’ – Hot Fudge
Row 2 – Coconut Cream – Nougat – Rum Raisin – Licorice
Butter Pecan
warm light gold metallic with a hint of peach
Blueberry Swirl
cool dark blue shimmer on a grey base, reminds me of dark jeans
Puddin’
cool midtone brown matte
Hot Fudge
cool dark brown with charcoal shimmer
Coconut Creme
warm creamy light beige matte
Nougat
warm creamy light peachy-beige matte
Rum Raisin
brown taupe metallic
Licorice
black matte
Row 1 – Caramel – Bon Bon – Peanut Butter – Pink Sugar
Row 2 – Mousse – Truffled – Cocoa Chili – Frosting
Caramel
warm golden copper metallic
Bon Bon
warm peachy copper metallic
Peanut Butter
warm orangey-brown matte
Pink Sugar
warm sheer golden pink sparkles, this needs to be layered on top of other colors. It’s barely visible on my hand.
Mousse
warm light milky brown matte
Truffled
warm milk chocolate brown matte
Cocoa Chili
warm dark brown matte with hints of gold
Frosting
warm bronze metallic with brown undertones
Overall, I really can see why Too Faced calls this a caramel themed palette with all the peachy / copper / orange toned shades. Aside from Pink Sugar, which just kind of sucked, the rest of the colors were nice. I wish that Blueberry Swirl was more blue and less grey toned, but I think that also is what makes it perfect for people who are afraid of color!
My favorites from Spring are the eyeshadow palette and the Melted lippies. I can’t wait to try the other shades!
What do you think of the Too Faced Spring 2015 Collection?
I really love that palette! The colors are gorgeous and I think I would wear them a lot!
I can’t decide if I want the palette yet, it looks similar to the original one (which I already have)
Great review! Too Faced always does a lovely job with their collections!
I definitely want Strawberry now!
Gorgeous collection. I need all of it. <3
I’m hoping you’ll get Melted Villain and do some comparisons with your other liquid purples. I like the new Semi-Sweet, but it just isn’t different enough for me to run out and get it. I’ll wait for a sale… Do love that chocolate scent, though!
What fun packaging!
Love the new Melted lipsticks and I really want the blush & bronzer palette
I have the original Chocolate Bar palette but I haven’t sprung for the newer one yet.
I am in love with those heart compacts, they are so cute. Girl… you look fabulous. I was a big fan of friends, I still find myself stopping on reruns and laughing. 😉 Oh – your swatches… are stunning.
Those heart compacts!! I need them! I love the look you did with Strawberry!
Hey there Phyrra, your eyes look gorgeous with this look and the blue on the waterline. Can you do a tutorial on this look with the same products, including the mascara? I would love to try this look at home. Thank you!
I’m a big friends fan and I’ve been rewatching all of the episodes since they added it to Netflix so.. ROSS & RACHEL <3
LOL! “I didn’t care about Ross and Rachel.” 😀 Love Strawberry on you, and your swatches, as always, are perfection!
When I first saw the Chocolate Bar shadows I thought “I like this too much it has to be a limited edition” so glad to find out they aren’t. I’m warm toned so it is very helpful to know the semi-sweet has more warm colors in it.
I am SO excited to check out all of the TF goodies!! I think I’ll need the palette for sure.
those heart-shaped bronzer/blush duos look so adorable!
all of these are calling my name! now i’m torn w/c one to pick!!!
Here is one of the new shades of Melted that just came out, Villain! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/164311086380623684/ I think you’ll like it! There are three more: Jelly Donut, Chihuahua, and Melon! I really like those three! I’m so glad that you originally featured these Meted Lipsticks, I love them, they are my favorite liquid lipstick! I like them because you can wear them with a stain finish or blot with a tissue for a more matte finish! I only have Melted so far but I want to get Sugar and Melon or Chihuahua(I have a jack russell/chi mix!)
Wow really love your eye look that you did with this palette! I wasn’t sure how the colors would really look but I really love most of them! I agree, the Sugar does look so pretty on you! Sometimes pastels can look weird on me as well! I think it will be a good way for me to play with color as you said! I think that you will REALLY love the brand new Melted Shades that just came out on the 14th!
I need that palette and Strawberry and Frosting in the Melted. Hello Spring. Soon. Please!
*dead* I’m gonna need that semi-sweet palette! I am just not getting into this original!
I love the Blueberry swirl colour but other reviewers found that it was the hardest colour to work with as in it was drier and more matt – did you find this Phyrra? Anyway, this palette is generally too warm for me. I have lots of those sorts of colours already. I think this whole collection is a shade too dark/too warm. I am sure that they would suit a lot of others though.
I want semi-sweet so much. The Strawberry and Velvvet Melted are beautiful. I want those and Villain. Do you have any plans to get Villain?
Disappointing about the bronzers. They look too warm for me, and possibly too dark.
I can wear the foundation OK, but if I were a shade lighter, I wouldn’t be able to. I use it when I need more coverage than BB cream or my loose mineral foundations give.
Velvet looks awesome on you!
The strawberry and velvet Melts are gorgeous.
I’m in between Strawberry and Ruby, both are wonderful colors!
The Lippies look so good on you!!
I thought I could skip the Semi Sweet palette because I have “too many” neutrals, but nope, I need it, definitely.
What a great new collection! I love the heart-shaped compacts but i don’t use bronzer but so cute anyway
I have to ask, how do you get your swatches so perfectly rectangular? It’s very impressive and unique.
