In this post, we’ll be looking at the newest relaunches of Too Faced’s classic products. The originals were released over a decade ago, but until 2026, neither product were deep-skin friendly.
Whenever something I’ve been waiting years for becomes available, I find it difficult to resist purchasing, regardless of whether it’s a good addition to my collection or not. So, that’s how I ended up buying both of them.

I also have an update regarding the Too Faced Cloud Crush Blurring Blush, and I will showcase an additional shade.

Onto the review!

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Blurring Bronzer in Chocolate Caramel (and Chocolate Toffee)

This bronzer is soft to the touch, and it’s matte, but it doesn’t feel or look dry on the skin. It has an almost creamy feel and it’s on the thicker side for a powder, but not in an unpleasant way.
Because it’s very pigmented and easy to pick up with any brush, I tried to exclusively use my delicate natural hair brushes with it. The Chocolate Soleil Bronzer is pretty blendable, but not quite on the level of my favorite high end and luxury bronzers that are even more finely milled. So, I’ve found that saikoho goat and fox hair brushes that are bundled in an airy way give me better results than my squirrel brushes. This ensures I still get a diffused application, but with more blending and buffing strength. It’s not that the bronzer needs a lot of buffing, but the right tools make the task even quicker and easier!

I have no issues with this bronzer’s longevity. It lasts all day.

“Blurring” is the new buzz word that every brand seems to claim their powder products are capable of. I actually agree that this bronzer can be a little blurring, but it needs to be properly blended or else it has the opposite effect.

This contains a fair bit of fragrance and smells like chocolate (the same scent that’s in the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow palettes). I enjoy it, even though I generally prefer my beauty products to be unscented.
I have to admit that I might be viewing this product even more favorably because of the happy feelings I get from smelling the chocolate. I’m only human!

The aspect I was a little disappointed by is how orange the Chocolate Caramel shade looks. I believe I may have confused it with the shade Chocolate Toffee. I think the color still looks nice on me, but I have to be in a particular mood to want to wear such a warm bronzer. Chocolate Caramel is a reddish-orange-brown shade. Sienne from Hermes is a yellow-orange-brown, as seen in the swatch comparison photo below, so I like that one even more. Plus, I’ve had it for just over three years and it still swatched more evenly and smoothly than the brand new Too Faced bronzer. Swatches don’t tell the whole story, but the Hermes Plein Air H Trio Healthy Glow Mineral Powder is my number one bronzer for a reason.

I wish I had Pat Mcgrath’s bronzers in Bronze Divinity and Burnished Honey with me to show comparisons, but I left them behind in the US. I thought PML would continue releasing face palettes with repeat products and that I would end up with the bronzers again anyway, but that has not happened. Based on memory and my review photos, I believe Chocolate Caramel might be closest in undertone and depth level to Burnished Honey.

Even though I have plenty of bronzers that perform even better or have some special qualities about them, I still like this quite a bit. In fact, my insistence on not buying a second shade only lasted a week. Now, for the benefit of you who is reading, I can also compare Chocolate Toffee. It is indeed a yellow-golden kind of shade.

I considered not taking photos of Chocolate Toffee on myself because it’s like 5% darker than my bare skin. It gives the faintest hint of color, but because it’s still lighter than most of my foundations, it doesn’t show up on a full face of makeup. Mixing Chocolate Toffee and Chocolate Caramel is a beautiful combination, though I already have yellow toned bronzers (too light for me to use on their own) I could have paired with Chocolate Caramel. So, I know I shouldn’t have really bought the additional shade, but I had no self-control.

I wore the Chanel Water Fresh Tint in the photos with the solid pink shirt in the hopes that it would be sheer enough for Chocolate Toffee to be seen.

I have to say that it would be amazing if more brands had dark yellow-golden toned bronzer options. I only found a few, and most are too light on me to really be visible for most of the year. MAC’s is the only one that’s deep enough. It doesn’t look that yellow in the first swatch, but that’s because it deepens up a lot when swatched with a finger. The second photo has a brush swatch. I’m still hoping to one day have a shade like Rich Golden, but in an even better formula.
And speaking of MAC, they just launched the reformulated and/or repacked Sunstruck Bronzers in both finishes! The main reason I haven’t used mine more is because I always felt uneasy about them after they had been pulled from store shelves within days of their original launch and smelled terrible for so long. So, I am considering whether I want to buy the new ones because no other brand has a color like Rich Golden that shows up on me.

As for the Cloud Crush Blurring Blushes, last year I saw someone close to my skintone wearing the shade Head in the Clouds and once I saw it was on sale via the retailer Douglas, I immediately bought it.

The photo above was taken in April 2026 and is a more accurate depiction of Head in the Clouds than the group blush photo lower down. I no longer have them, so I could not retake that picture.

The photo above and the photo below were taken in September. When I was just about finishing, I noticed the dark spots around the rim of the blushes. I can’t say for certain what they are, but the pan edges didn’t look like that when I bought them. Head in the Clouds doesn’t have them either. So, I no longer trusted that my older ones were safe to use, and I tossed them out.

Velvet Crush looked the worst, and I bought it from Sephora-US in December 2022, but I bought Tequila Sunset exactly one month later. The differences between them is that I had actually left Velvet Crush in Florida for longer. When I moved to Germany, I only brought Tequila Sunset with me. I stored them properly in both locations, so I wonder what happened. The brand boasts about these having, “93% naturally-derived ingredients,” so perhaps they aren’t the best preserved. The blushes lasting almost three years is acceptable, but I have so many older products that are still in amazing condition, so I can’t help but be disappointed in needing to toss these early. To be honest though, I wish I remembered how strong the “Tropical Beach,” fragrance was in these blushes. It’s pleasing, but so heavy that sometimes I change my mind about using it when I open the compact and that wave of perfume hits me.

I could recommend the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer, but I no longer recommend the Cloud Crush Blushes, even though they are pretty. I think the Soleil Bronzers are actually appropriately priced. The quality isn’t S-tier, but I’d give it a B+

Also, kudos to whoever decided to finally make an inclusive bronzer range for Too Faced. I’m impressed.

Too Faced Sun Bunny Blushing Bronzer in Sunset Bunny

When I saw the promo photos, I was practically salivating to buy this product. I was so entranced by how shiny and pretty the colors were, that I didn’t even stop to think about the fact that these are not going to be worn as highlighters. Why would I ever want a blush, and especially a bronzer, to look that shimmery on my face? I stopped wearing the Glossier Solar Paint Bronzers for precisely that reason (which others must not have liked either since it has been discontinued). The Solar Paints still looked better on my skin than this product!

This cheek duo highlights all the bumps and uneven texture I have on my forehead and cheeks. The colors themselves are beautiful, but I cannot ignore the obvious shimmer particles. The blush shimmer is as reflective as MAC’s Extra Dimension Blushes, but aren’t as refined. That makes the biggest difference. The amount in the bronzer is even more than the reformulated and repacked Kosas Sun Show Baked Bronzers that I never use, and Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer that I got rid of.

Putting aside my preferences, another aspect that threw me for a loop is the fact that the blush side is so firmly pressed in the pan. It felt like there was hard-pan the first day I used it. It took about four layers of swiping to get that finger swatch that’s two photos up, yet only one swipe for the bronzer. I don’t know if I have a dud or if everyone’s duos are like this.

The biggest problem of all is the “Coconut Cream” scent. I always like the smell of Too Faced products, but whether I can handle them is another story. This one is so overpowering and headache-inducing! The photos I included in this post are the best I could do because the two times I tried to wear the Sun Bunny Bronzer, I needed to remove it within 20-30 minutes. This is on par with the Too Faced Peach Perfect Instant Coverage Concealer that I couldn’t use either because the fragrance in it gave me intense headaches.

So, I unfortunately could not do any wear tests and the packing (with its clear lid) isn’t cute enough for me to keep it as a collector item. This will be exiting my makeup collection.

So, that concludes this week’s post. The Sun Bunny was a total letdown, but the Chocolate Soleil powder bronzers made up for it!

I hope this has been helpful. Thanks for stopping by!
