Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzing Powder Review!

Hello my loves, I have another review for you all today. Man I have been churning out the reviews lately, yall are going to start calling me Ashley the Review Guru! LMAO. I just like to do reviews, especially on the more expensive products because I want you guys to get the most bang for your buck. 

So enough chit chat! As I said in my NARS lippie review, the company Apothica sent me a gift card to purchase some items. My second item was this bronzer by Too Faced. This was my first product from them and I have been obsessed with bronzer lately so I said why not? 

TOO FACED CHOCOLATE SOLEIL MATTE BRONZING POWDER $29





OK, Too Faced has many bronzers but I was drawn to this one over the other ones because I wanted something that would show up on my skin. I wanted the Pink Leopard bronzer sooo bad but the swatches were so light I didn't see the point. 

PROS
*The packaging is SO cute! Like, totally adorable. I love it so much. Too Faced is a company like Urban Decay or Benefit for example, they really put thought into what girls like and what is attractive to our eyes. As much as I love MAC, their packaging is sooo blah. Just imagine if all of the MAC packaging was still the same, except instead of black it was magenta! *Perfection* 
*This bronzer has the standard 10 grams which is good. Most people who use bronzer use it daily so you want a good amount. It is the same size as my MAC bronzer or Milani bronzer.
*It really smells like chocolate! I guess that could be because it is made with real cocoa lol. The smell is lovely.

CONS
*OK, now usually I am pretty good at picking products but I FAILED miserably with this one. I researched and everything but it just doesn't do ANYTHING for me. 
*The color is kinda brown, a little darker than my face powder but lighter than my other bronzers. When I put it on it just looks ruddy and blehh. 
*I think this bronzer is perfect for my lighter skinned dolls, like olive complexion and lighter. 

OVERALL I GIVE THIS PRODUCT A C-

This product did get high reviews so if you are lighter skinned I'd go for it but for my darker babies, nope! That is really why I stick with MAC because they really consider women of color when creating their makeup. I won't give up on Too Faced though, if some of my women of color have any good bronzers from them let me know! Bye my loves.

  1. Thanks for the review, Ashley! I also tried this product as part of a kit. I am much lighter skinned than you, and I was equally unimpressed. It does get rave reviews, so it must be working for someone... just not us :)

    I look forward to reading more of your reviews and other posts!
