Hello Beauty Lovers!
So I love trying new beauty products but lately I have been on the hunt for a holy grail bronzer, and ladies and gents I have found it. The Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Light/Medium Matte Bronzer. It is the lighter version of the cult favourite Chocolate Soleil Medium/Dark Matte Bronzer.
There are soooooo many things I love about this bronzer, the first being it smells like chocolate! I mean can you really get better than a product that straight up smells like chocolate? I think not.
In general I am too fair skinned for a lot of bronzers, a lot of them can also go kind of orange on me which really isn't a good look on anyone. So before the holiday's I had my eye on the Chocolate Soleil bronzer but when swatching it I realized that I was just going to be too dark for a nice flush of colour, it may be a good one for some serious contouring but for my pale, untanned winter skin it's just too dark. What lured me in initially about these bronzers is first of all, Too Faced is a cruelty free brand and their bronzers and I believe most of their products are made:
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan
So this is straight from Sephora's website, and I like that there is less crap in their products, that's the same reason I use Tarte, less bad stuff in them. Too Faced isn't quite as natural as Tarte but they are definitely on the right track. The next thing that intrigued me about these particular bronzer is they are matte, I like shimmery bronzers but there is something to be said about a perfect matte bronzer. A matte bronzer is more versatile and more universal and better for everyday wear, it's also better for contouring and if you are trying to achieve an overall tanned look (which in the summer I use self tanner on my body but not my face so usually I just add bronzer to match the tan I am at). And Too Faced is just one of those brands that I like and I want to buy products from.
After realizing that Chocolate Soleil would be too dark I realized that Milk Chocolate might actually be my perfect bronzer, so I put in on my holiday list. And my lovely mum got it for me :)
I have loved it from the moment I got it, the packaging is gorgeous, very classy and pretty and just something I like having in my makeup bag because it makes me happy and excited to open it and put it on every morning. I have been using it as a very soft contour under my cheekbones, and it just adds a warmth and depth to my face that I haven't found with any other product so far.
So overall I give this product 5 chocolate covered stars, it is a definite holy grail product for me sand something I will never be without. I also plan on picking up the Chocolate Soleil bronzer closer to summer when I am rocking a tan. Also because of the to die for smell I plan on getting the Too Faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette, because it smells like chocolate and the colours look fabulous!

So the photo at the top of this page is from Sephora's website, I like using the ones from Sephora because I think they look really clean and pretty. Here are some of my own product photos, I couldn't really get a proper swatch because it is such a subtle bronzer it didn't show up properly on my hand on camera.
