Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette Review + Swatches

I picked up the new Semi-Sweet palette by Too Faced yesterday from Ulta, and I couldn't wait to dig in and take some photos!  The packaging is the same as the original Chocolate Bar palette (plastic with a magnetic closure in the shape of a bar of chocolate) only the packaging is a little lighter in color, and it still smells like chocolate too.  The only difference is instead of having a plastic sheet with the names of the colors on it, the names are actually printed on the packaging which is so much better IMO.
The colors are nice.  There are a couple that I'm a little disappointed in (I'll let you know which with the swatch pictures), but I do like most of them.
Packaging:
 Swatches
Overview:
Licorice...this is one that I'm not overly impressed with.  It's more of a very dark grey than a black to me.  I have other blacks that are darker that I like a lot better.
Coconut Creme
Nougat
Truffled


Hot Fudge


Cocoa Chili


Pink Sugar...another color that I'm not impressed with.  It looks like a gorgeous sparkly pink in the pan, but it's not very pigmented at all.  :/
Puddin'
Blueberry Swirl


Peanut Butter


Frosting


Rum Raisin


Mousse


Caramel


Bon Bon


Butter Pecan


What are your thoughts on the Semi-Sweet palette?  Do you prefer the original over this one?
I haven't tried these on my eyes yet, so I can't say for sure which one I prefer.  They both have some beautiful colors and a couple of misses for me.
Thanks for stopping by!
