Last week, I posted about a new
Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette that was just released at
Sephora called
Semi Sweet ($49). Currently, it's only available to VIB and VIB Rouge members, but it'll be available to everyone starting on Monday, 12/15!
It's described as a "warmer, deeper" version of the original Chocolate Bar. I was hoping for a cool-toned version since the original palette was warm already. I find that cooler tones look better on me since I have fair skin with pink undertones.
The outside of the palette is very much like the original and resembles a chocolate bar, although this version is lighter brown, sort of like milk chocolate vs. dark.
This palette contains mostly brown-toned shades with a pop of blue and a black shade. There's also a pink glitter called Pink Sugar that was the only shade in the palette that didn't swatch or apply well. It had a lot of fallout and just left a ton of glitter behind without much pigment. The rest of the shades were soft, buttery and smooth and just a dream to apply.
Here are the swatches by row:

Here's a quick video tutorial from the Sephora website that shows a beautiful look using the Semi Sweet palette:
Overall, I'm really happy with the pigmentation (except for Pink Sugar) and the colors are gorgeous, though I'm a little disappointed that it's another warm-toned palette. Here's hoping the next Chocolate Bar (if there is another one) will be cool-toned and then I'll be in heaven!
Will you be adding the Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar to your holiday wishlist, gifting it to someone, or just splurging on it yourself?
