TOO FACED Chocolate Bar Eye Palette

Hey everyone, it's been awhile and I decided to get back on the horse and give blogging another try since I recently picked up a few new goodies. One of the things I picked up was the TOO FACED Chocolate Bar Eye Palette. I love it !!! It has neutrals and colors all in one and it also smells like chocolate.

MAC Eyeshadow Collection & Swatches

This is all the MAC shadow I own so far, but with all the other brands of cosmetics, I don't know whether or not I would invest in MAC anymore. I do enjoy the convenience of palette, the range of shades and the amount of product; the pigmentation can be hit & miss with certain shades.

L'Oreal Infalliable Eyeshadow

This was recently on sale at Shopper's Drug Mart for $5.99CAD so I picked up the Flashback Silver.

Forward >>

I enjoy the texture and look of these packed eyeshadows and was very amused by their texture and the fact that I did not have something like this in my collection so thought I give into the hype after reading and hearing many stellar reviews. And it did not disappoint because their packed eyeshadows have amazing staying power with great colour payoff and the shimmer is just WOW. 

I find the the Flashback Silver has a slight tint of purple and that is the reason why I purchased it because it is my favourite colour and I can wear it without being too bright (there is nothing wrong with bright colours but its just not me).

Pros:

• great pigmentation
• decent staying power
• no scent 
• drugstore pricing & very accessible
• interesting texture
• last you a long time 
• comparable to Armani Eyes to Kill
• can use with finger for all over lid colour
• easy application
• easy to blend

Cons:

• all shimmer shades
• limited colour range
• not a big fan of using it with a brush

Will repurchase more when they come out with other colours that interest me.
