Let’s cut right to it: I *love* this palette. I loved the first Chocolate Bar palette, but I love this one just that slight bit more. It’s currently knocked out my other favourite neutral palettes and is firmly sitting in numero uno place as my most beloved. For me, it’s the combination of shades that this palette includes. From the super orangeness of Peanut Butter, to the deep darkness of Hot Fudge, to the intense glitteryness of Pink Sugar (which, by the way, I’m well aware that Pink Sugar is a seriously unloved shade by others, but I *love* it. It’s pressed glitter and you can use it however you want, which is something that is usually restricted to loose pigments.).

I created five looks with this palette. (If you’re looking for swatches, please see my previous Swatch Sunday post.) Let’s take a look!

Although this is a very warm palette, the first look I did was quite cool-toned.

Eyes

1. Rum Raisin all over the lid.
2. Puddin’ in the crease.
3. Licorice to deepen the crease.
4. Coconut Creme on the brow bone.
5. Pink Sugar on the inner tear duct.

I lined the outer corner of my lower lash line with MAC‘s eye kohl in Phone Number and then tapped Puddin’ on top. On my lashes is Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.

This is where the Semi-Sweet palette really shines for me. I love the orangey-brown shades and how they all work together.

Eyes

1. Bon Bon all over the lid.
2. Peanut Butter through the top of the crease.
3. Hot Fudge on the outer corner.
4. Butter Pecan on the brow bone.

I used Hot Fudge to line my upper and lower lash lines. On my lashes is Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.

As a side note, after I took these pictures, I decided that lightshade was just too bright for what I wanted to wear that day and I ended up swapping it for a matte red shade instead (MAC – Kinky).

Eyes

1. Butter Pecan all over the lid.
2. Mousse top of the crease
3. Cocoa Chili in the outer corner.
4. Butter Pecan on the brow bone.

To create the wing I used Tarte‘s Black gel liner and applied Too Faced Better Than Sexmascara to my lashes.

• Blush: Tarte Exposed
• Highlighter: Too Faced Candlelight
• Lips: Rimmel Apocalips in Stellar

Never in my life would I think to pair bright red lips with blue eyeshadow, but I think it works! It was Valentine’s Day after all, so I had an excuse! 😉 I also really, really love howPeanut Butter looks in my crease. The orange tinge really changes up what would traditionally be a blue smoky-ish eye.

Eyes

I first applied NYX‘s Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean all over the lid and patted it in. Then:

1. Peanut Butter through the top of the crease.
2. Blueberry Swirl all over the lid.
3. Hot Fudge in the outer corner and through the crease.
4. Coconut Creme on the brow bone.
5. Pink Sugar on the inner tear duct.

To line the lower lash line, I used Urban Decay‘s Black Velvet liner and then pattedBlueberry Swirl on the inner half and Hot Fudge on the outer half (on top of the liner).

• Blush: MAC Warm Soul

This palette make it so easy to bust out a bright lip! And I really do like Pink Sugar – it’s subtle, but has a really nice way of sparkling up your eye look. AND the glitter won’t budge once it’s on your lids!

Eyes

1. Coconut Creme all over the lid and brow bone.
2. Truffled on the outer third of the lid.
3. Pink Sugar all over the lid and on the inner tear duct.

Rest of the Face

• Foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in shades 51 Light Vanilla and 52 Vanilla mixed together.
• Bronzer: Joe Fresh Sand
• Blush: Hourglass Diffused Heat
• Highlighter: MAC Soft & Gentle
• Lips: MAC Relentlessly Red
