I am so obsessed with eye shadows. Actually, I’m pretty sure they are my favorite pieces of makeup to purchase. I think it’s because I always put the focus on the eyes, so color matters!
And when I find a good palette, it just makes me totally giddy! The Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Eyeshadow Palette has been my go-to since I snagged it last month. I seriously cannot put it down. So what’s so great about it?

First off, let me just say – I’m a mom. I like to save money. I like to spend it wisely. Because of this, I love my drugstore makeup. But sometimes, there are things worth the splurge, my friends. And this is one of those times.
I don’t think I’ve ever NOT loved anything from the Too Faced brand. So I knew I would like the Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons
First impressions: Well for starters, the packaging is seriously the cutest I’ve ever seen. It looks like a giant candy bar. And if you weren’t aware, it SMELLS LIKE ONE TOO. Say what? Yes. It’s chocolate scented. And I’m a choco-holic. Now I do find this a bit strange, but dang it, it smells good. And I usually hate scented things. But, I find it to be pretty mild, so it doesn’t bother me.
On to the swatching! How cute are the little heart shapes? SO fun! One thing I really love about it is that the two base colors that I use with pretty much any other color combo are rectangular, so there’s more of them. This is definitely smart so you don’t use it all up first. I will cry when I hit pan. Haha! Some of them are matte and some of them are shimmery.

The pigmentation in this palette is the best thing about it. The color will go on your lids exactly as you see them here. This makes it worth the money for sure. Also, there’s not a lot of fallout (although there is some) but it’s relatively creamy and goes on smooth. It blends very easily and is buildable, too.
So if I’m being honest, I feel like the reason why I didn’t purchase this palette much sooner was because the colors didn’t look very practical to me. I mean, I love a good dramatic eye with some playful looks. But I’m also a working mom. I have to be in an office M-F and I can’t wear anything too crazy. I don’t usually wear a ton of makeup there. The cool thing about these colors though are that I can totally get a subtle look or a dramatic look from them, either one. I just save the bolder colors for weekends and wear the neutrals more for work, etc.
With that being said, I thought I’d share some of my favorite looks that I’ve created with this palette! And if you scroll all the way to the bottom, I’ve created a totally pinnable photo for you that shows you all the colors used for each look! Check them out and let me know which is your favorite!
If you’re in search for a new palette, then I highly recommend this one. The neutrals in it will work with pretty much any skin tones and the shimmers and bold colors would look fun on any eye color! You can find it here on Amazon (affiliate link): Chocolate Bon Bons

Oh pretty. You need to teach me your ways when it comes to eye shadow!
Thanks, lady! LOVE this palette. I’ll teach you anytime 😉
This palette is so amazing! I can’t get enough of it! I have had mine for months and I still reach for it a ton!
Everyone that I know that has it says the same thing! It’s just so fun and more versatile than it might appear! I can’t put it down either. 🙂
I can see why you love this palette! It looks great! I like that you included looks you created with it, it gives me a good idea of the colors in it. A Too Faces palette has been on my list, need to move it to the top, haha!
Thank you! Yes you should totally prioritize this brand – even if it’s not this palette – Too Faced will have you hooked in a heartbeat! I need to get the Sweet Peach next. 🙂
Wow Jill I have alway envied people who can put eye makeup on so elegantly, it’s truly beautiful!
Aw Holly, you are so sweet – thank you! I love to play around with eye shadow 🙂
Thank you! I have every Too Faced eye pallet made (it seems), but this one always threw me for a loop. I figured whatever they used to scent the powder with would irritate my eyes. A great review!
Yeah, the idea of a scented palette did NOT thrill me! I usually don’t like things like that! But I’m SO in love with this one!
JILL. I’ve been stalking you on IG for a while so I’m pretty familiar with ALL of these looks lol! I still can’t get over how striking the Earl Grey color looks on your eyes!
I’m pretty simple when it comes to make up, yet I buy SO MUCH of it — I’m going to have to take a page out of your book and buy this palette. love this, friend! <33
Aw, you are the sweetest! I love that Earl Grey and feel it would look good on anyone! You are TOTALLY one of those natural beauties and don’t need any makeup anyways! SO JEALOUS! ha! XOXO
That’s so cool that it smells like chocolate! I’ve been wanting to buy this for a while!
Hi Hannah! You know, that fact turned me off a little bit when I first heard about it, but I’m SO glad I changed my mind! OBSESSED!
This looks like such a great palette. I keep hearing rave reviews for Too Faced eye shadows so I might have to pick one up. I like that this one has a good mix of bold and neutral shades.
Their shadows are AMAZEBALLS – you need them in your life! So pigmented! You should totally get one!
Great review! Loved the swatches!
Thanks so much for reading, friend! Glad you liked it!
I love the looks you shared! I have this pallete and love it! I actually am obsessed with Too Faced and have all of these bar palletes!
Isn’t it the best? Do you have the Sweet Peach yet? Cannot wait to get my hands on that one! Although I hate actual peaches. So if it’s smells too peachy, I’ll have to hold my nose LOL
I have never bought any Too Faced chocolate palettes, but I really wanted to! I almost got Sweet Peach as I love peach colours, but I procrastinate a lot.. I think I may have to get the BonBons palette after your awesome review. I love all the colour combination examples you used. Especially the bright pink combo.
Thanks, Leah! YOu should totally treat yourself – this one is so fun! I don’t have the Sweet Peach yet – might have to get it next!
Looks like an amazing palette and you can definitely tell you’ve been using it a whole lot! LOL Too faced is one of my fave brands! I love them so much.
Haha, yes I’ve used it a TON – one of my go-tos! And it’s def one of my fave brands too – the palettes are just so pigmented!
I love the packaging so much, I’m not sure I could bring myself to use any of the makeup, haha!
I know, right?! I will cry when it runs out, haha!
