This Too Faced Chocolate Makeup Palette Looks So Real, Someone Accidentally Ate It

Don't worry, the little girl didn't get sick during her chocolate binge. Rincon noted that most of the makeup was smeared on her face and clothes, but she contacted poison control and Too Faced just in case and was told the palette contained no potentially toxic-when-eaten ingredients. (Meanwhile, imagine how sick kiddo would have been if she'd gotten her hands on an actual chocolate bar of that size.) The brand is even sending her a new palette, after seeing her painstaking attempt to tidy up her partially eaten one. As you can see in this update she tweeted, those four shimmers on the lower left—Marzipan, Hazelnut, Crème Brûlée, and Haute Chocolate—must be exactly as tasty as their shade names sound.

All joking aside, there IS a worrisome nugget to this story. As a beauty-product hoarder (occupational hazard!) who's recently found contraband gum and a stray Twizzlers wrapper in her children's rooms, I can fully appreciate how personal-care products that even remotely resemble dessert could pose a serious risk. I mean, forget this palette, which I'm on the verge on wanting to eat myself—my kids would probably chug Listerine left unattended, and I'd be lying if I said they haven't already consumed at least four entire flavored lip balms over the course of their short lives. So this tale serves as a reminder to everyone with munchkins in our lives to keep the beauty goodies locked up—or more realistically, on really high shelf in the linen closet. And if a child does ever break into your stash and ingest something, call your local poison-control center (or the national Poison Help hotline) right away to find out if you should seek medical attention.

We've reached out to Too Faced for comment and will report back once the brand has responded.
