MY THOUGHTS: This palette was said to be quite warmed toned by many on social media however I this palette has a nice blend of warmed toned, neutral and cool tones, as was the first Chocolate Bar Palette. The shades are quite blendable without much fallout and have good color pigmentation. They are lightweight in consistency and do not feel powdery in texture.


Licorice - soft black, this one is slightly powdery than the rest. MATTE


Coconut Crème - cool toned, vanilla, creamy in texture. MATTE


Nougat - cool toned, light dusty pink, leans taupe. MATTE


Truffled - warm toned, medium brown. MATTE


Hot Fudge - cool toned, deep dark brown with flecks of gold. SHIMMER


Cocoa Chili - warm toned, dark brown, looks matte in pan but finish is satin. SATIN


Pink Sugar - sheer pink with iridescent pink shimmer, the formula of this shadow is completely different to the others in the palette. It feels very soft and creamy in texture, almost like a cream. Tip: Best applied with fingers than a brushGLITTER  


Puddin' - cool toned, dark brown leans taupe. MATTE


Blueberry Swirl - cool toned, sheer dark blue. This was the only color in this palette that was underwhelming, lacked in pigmentation and was a bit stubborn to blend. SATIN


Peanut Butter - warm toned, tan light brown. Tip: great shade to blend out shadows to add warmth or transitioning shade. MATTE


Frosting - warm toned, bronze. METALLIC


Rum Raisin - cool toned, taupe brown. METALLIC


Mousse - warm toned, medium brown. MATTE


Caramel - warm toned, coppery gold. METALLIC


Bon Bon - warm toned, pink peach. METALLIC


Butter Pecan - cool toned, light yellow cream. SATIN
