Chocolate Bar: original or semisweet?

[centralsquare]

HSN has the $20 off deal again, so I am considering getting one of the chocolate bar palettes.

Palettes I already own: N2 and Laura Mercier Artists (plums). Shady Lady 2 is on its way to me as well.

I have brown hair and brown eyes and (I think) yellow undertones. At least I look yellow next to my pink hued daughter.

Recommend a palette for me, please!

Original is cooler, Semisweet is much warmer. The biggest difference to me otherwise is that Semisweet is almost all browns, while original seems to have more variation with pinks, reds, and purples.

I highly recommend original. Saying that, I don't have semi-sweet. However, I do really, really like the original.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

My real answer is you clearly need them both.

I don't have semisweet, but I LOVE the original. If I had to choose 1 palette to use exclusively, this would beat out my sentimental favorite of Naked2. lol

I have both and love them each. I use semisweet more lately though. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Do you feel like it's different enough from N2 to justify both?

I love both, but semisweet is by far my fav

[kittycatlove]

I have both, but I think semi sweet is my favorite of the two. I also have N2 and feel there is enough of difference between them, but I admit I can never have enough eyeshadow

I like semisweet a little more but really you can't go wrong.

Yes, no question.

Definitely it has purples, pinks, and redish-browns. I love the chocolate bar original.

In terms of being cooler, all I can say is that I own the original and have no trouble with the colors, and I usually cannot wear cool colors at all. The only exception is the olive color in the upper left corner, which was terrible on my skin tone.

I have both and the original is my favorite out of the two. It makes me happy every time I open it.

I have both and the original is my favorite out of the two. I think Semisweet has some odd color combinations. I bought it at the recommendation of a Sephora sales girl but I would never buy it again.

Absolutely. I love the original because of its variation. Maroon, purple, and not just warm brown sugary colors. I have both but I reach for the original far more often.

I have both and prefer the semisweet

It's only good if you're a first time customer but supposedly there are ways to get around that if not. Here's a link describing how to get the deal: nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-hsn-20-off-40-code-is-back-too.html
