Not even kidding — all four of these products have been staples in my makeup collection, so ya know…I’m pretty much an expert on how well they all work.
The Semi Sweet Chocolate bar palette was given to me for Christmas 2014, and I have used little else since then. The shade selection is everything! You can create so many different looks, and you have everything that you need. There’s no need to go digging into another palette for a matte transition shade or an uber pigmented matte black because they’re already in here. The shadows blend like a dream and have amazing color payoff, to boot.
Not to mention, it smells like hot chocolate. 🙂 Every time you open the palette, it’s like opening a container of hot chocolate on a cold night, as the powder slowly spirals upward towards your nostrils, and you get a whiff of that cocoa-y goodness (the powders even have real cocoa powder in them).
Next up, Better Than Sex Mascara. Although the name is very untrue, the product is freaking good. It claims to increase the volume of your lashes by 1944%, but according to my calculations, it’s more like 1946%. 🙂 The color is nice and black, and the brush separates the crap out of your lashes, which means that you get volume and length without looking like you’ve got five eyelashes.
Below, I wanted to show you the before and after wearing absolutely no makeup, so you can see the full impact. I curled my lashes and applied one coat — yes, that’s only one coat! Imagine two or three.
It’s mind blowing.
Also included — Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow Primer, the perfect companion for your new palette. All you need to do is put a small amount on each eyelid, then blend it out with your finger, and it’ll keep your shadows from fading or creasing throughout the day.
There is nothing more annoying than spending an embarrassing amount of time on your eyeshadow, then looking in the mirror a few hours later to see your eye makeup looking like it was applied by a two-year-old.
This primer will prevent that.
To finish off the beautiful look you’ve created with this kit, all you need is to rosy up the cheeks a little using Love Flush Long Lasting Blush in Justify My Love.
The Love Flush blushes are some of my favorite blushes around. They’re super soft and blend-able and last until you’re ready to take off your makeup at the end of the day.
Look how sad, though. 🙁 Mine shattered on the way to me in the mail! The color is gorgeous and would look amazing on any skin tone, so I want to try and save it as much as possible. Does anyone have any good tips on how I can repair it?
If you’re interested in snatching up this collection for yourself, act fast so you can take advantage of the special $49 price. It’s one day only, Wednesday, March 23rd, 2016 (but it’s on early pre-sale now).

Woah that’s an awesome deal, too bad HSN doesn’t ship to Canada!
Jen Clark says
Oh man! I’m sorry you’ve got to miss out! 🙁
Efrain says
What I do to save broken powder is mix the powder with alcohol and press it together in the pan. Make sure the mixture doesn’t get really damp, in fact if it’s a little drier is better as you can handle it easier.
If you are really concerned about the color, I’d recommend to leave as a loose powder blush as putting alcohol can change a little the pay off, the two blushes I “saved” got more shimmery.
Hope it helps.
Jen Clark says
Thank you so much for the information, sounds like storing it in a different container and leaving it loose is the way to go! I would hate to change the beautiful pigmentation!
sarahc says
*Squee!* I just preordered it for myself, my early birfday present to me. 🙂
Jen Clark says
Yay! I’m so glad you snagged one up! And happy early birthday!! 🙂
Eesha says
That’s an amazing combo to complete a look. Love that blush shade and sad that it shattered so badly!
Jen Clark says
I think so too, normally with kits there are somethings that I’m not a huge fan of, but i’m obsessed with everything! I opened it and it went EVERYWHERE! Haha but it’s gorgeous so heaven knows i’m going to try to make it work 🙂
Kiss & Make-up says
Oddly enough – being the huge chocoholic that I am – I don’t care much for the smell of chocolate in beauty products… But I do love the look of the palette!
Jen Clark says
Really?! Have you smelled this one? 🙂
LindaLibraLoca says
I had never heard of HSN, but I guess they are similar to QVC?
Oh, and your lashes! After one coat, that is amazing!
Jen Clark says
Yes! They’re almost exactly the same, it stands for the Home Shopping Network. Trust me, my lashes are nothing impressive, but that mascara works miracles! I love it 🙂
Erin says
That’s a nice deal.
Jen Clark says
Isn’t it?! I hope you were able to take advantage of it while it was available 🙂
Kwmechelle says
That mascara was made for you! How’s about we just exchange eyelashes so that every mascara works for me, k? ?
Jen Clark says
Haha you’re so funny, I wish every mascara worked that well on me! This one is just extra special. Trust me, you don’t want my lashes, they are actually so finicky and hard to work with!
