Sugar Pop | Beauty Review

Let me start off by saying that Too Faced is one of my favorite beauty brands. The quality of their products are always wonderful. Often times their palettes are cheaper than other brands as well! And we can't deny, they always have the cutest packaging. From making their products smell like chocolate to offering beautifully blendable eye shadows, this brand has done no wrong in my eyes.

If I'm being honest, when I first saw photos of this palette, I mainly wanted it because of the packaging. But can you blame me? How cute are all of these fun, multicolored macaroons? After doing some research and reading some reviews I knew it was something that I really wanted to add to my collection. You can imagine how excited I was when this palette popped up in my mailbox!

The palette has beautiful packaging and it's also quite structured and stable. Even though it does have a magnetized closing, I still am a bit wary to just throw this into a bag. If you're traveling with it I'd make sure you tuck it into a makeup bag so it won't open up!

The shadows are separated into different categories going across each row.

The top row; Sweet & Spicy - Rock Candy, Macaron, Malted Milk Ball
The middle row; Sugar Plums - Strawberry Ice, Sugared Violet, Blackberry
The bottom row; Candy Coated - Peach Fuzz, Bubblegum, Blue Raspberry

They included 3 highlight shades, 3-4 lovely pops of color and two shades that can be described as a bit more neutral. I love bright colors, but I am still a bit nervous when it comes to applying them. But after testing this palette out, I discovered that one of my favorite shades is the beautiful Blue Raspberry! I think it adds the perfect touch of color when you run it under your bottom lash line after completing your eye look.

Two shades I'm not too fond of are Rock Candy and Peach Fuzz. My only problem is they are extremely similar. They do have some slight differences but I don't think they should have added both colors into one palette, however I am super pleased with everything else!

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette Review

I'm sure you've seen tons of pictures and reviews on this palette and I honestly feel like I'm the last one to do a review on it but I really wanted to share my thoughts. Purchasing this palette was on a complete whim. I had been interested in it but I tried to avoid it because I really don't need it. However, one day as I was walking around Sephora I ended up randomly grabbing it and purchasing it.

I had already seen and read plenty of reviews on it so I didn't think I'd be disappointed. I just didn't know if I'd be super impressed either since I have tons of neutral shades. I went home and decided to immediately try an eye look just so I could play with the colors and see how the pigment transferred to my skin. Luckily, I fell in love!

The palette comes with a total of 16 shades ranging from light to dark, shimmery and matte. That also includes the two bigger shades that are highlights. I feel like this palette has a great range of colors that you can do countless looks with. It's not very often that I feel 100% confident using one palette to create a look but whenever I reach for this it ends up being the only one I use that day.

Here are some swatches of all the colors included in the palette!

Top Row: Gilded Ganache, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Black Forest Truffle, and Triple Fudge.

Middle Row: Salted Caramel, Marzipan, Semi-Sweet, Strawberry Bon Bon, Candied Violet, and Amaretto.

Bottom Row: Hazelnut, Creme Brulee, Haute Chocolate, Cherry Codial, and Champagne Truffle.

(Champagne truffle is such a beautiful highlight color!)

As you can see, all of the colors pigment is magnificent. All of the colors are so creamy and they aren't patchy at all.  They apply very smoothly and you don't need to really layer it on to create a pigmented color/swatch.

Also, this whole palette smells like chocolate just like the rest of the Too Faced products in the "Chocolate" line. Not a super important point but definitely a pleasant one! 

Overall, I really really love this palette. It's definitely one of my new favorites and I am so happy I picked it up. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that's a fan of beautiful neutral shades, or just someone who loves makeup in general. I really think it's one of the best palettes I own, which is saying something because I own a LOT. I love how versatile it is, you can create a simple eye look or a dramatic one. If you have had your eye on this palette I definitely suggest picking it up!
