Why should you? Because. You are getting an amazingly good deal!
Actually there's more than that, but really it's only $50 dollars for 8 bronzers. So that is $6.25 for one pan. The full size bronzers from Too Faced are $30 dollars each. Granted, those $30 dollar pans are four times the size, but for me I don't get to hit pan on many of my powder products so I do not mind that these are way smaller than the original.
Therefore, I think this palette would be great for those 1) who love bronzers 2) who get sick of their products easily 3) who want to try Too Faced bronzers but don't know which one to buy 4) who want both shimmery and matte bronzers in their collection 5) who want to collect them all from Too Faced.
Again, this palette is definitely not for those people who doesn't care about bronzers. This is only for those who are TRUELY crazy about bronzers.
This palette has three matte bronzers (Milk Chocolate Soleil, Chocolate Soleil, and Dark Chocolate Soleil), three shimmery bronzers (Sun Bunny, Endless Summer, and Beach Bunny), one blush (Pink Leopard), and one highlighter (Snow Bunny).
Overall, majority of these powders are finely milled, easily blendable without having a lot of fall outs. And they all smell like cocoa powder which I am not too keen about, but majority of the people seem to love it.
Milk Choclate Soleil (left): This is a very natural shade that is not too orange or red so it could be used for both contouring and all over bronzing. Since this is the most versatile and fitting for my light skintone, it is the one that I tend to gravitate more towards among the seven. This shade is perfect for when I want to go natural or when I want to give emphasis on the blush more than the bronzer.
Chocolate Soleil (middle): I use this shade when I want to create a harsher contour for my cheeks. It is way too dark for me to use as an all over bronzing powder, but when I want to really chisel out my cheeks and jawline after eating 24 wings, yeah I use it and it's great.
Dark Chocolate (right): I wouldn't necessarily say that this is the darkest of the three despite its name, but it is quite dark and has a strong red undertone which would great for those tanned cooler skintones. This is SUPER pigmented, so you have to use a light hand to make this look natural.
SHIMMERS
These three bronzers are shimmery when you swatch them but are not that glittery and sheeny on the cheeks. Trust me I was really scared to wear these out because of the shimmer, but it really didn't look far different from using a matte bronzer. All of these provide a satin finish that is very flattering for that JLO glow look. The only negative thing that I noticed out of these three was that they were not as blendable as the chcolate soleil matte bronzers. It applied little bit patchy (probably because of the glitter content), so I had to spend a little more time buffing them out. But in the end, they looked totally fine.
Sun Bunny (left): This one has a copper/reddish tone with gold shimmer. This is very pretty all over the cheeks as well as on the forehead, and it gives you a very healthy summer glow instead of the "hey I applied glittery bronzer on my cheeks," kind of look.

Endless Summer (middle): This is just a regular bronzer that has gold glitter mixed in. I have to say this is my least favorite out of the seven because the texture is very hard and patchy compared to the other bronzers. The pigmentation is also poor, so when you are trying to pick up some product, you only get that gold glitter and a slight hint of that brown powder at first. If you want to really amp up the color, you would have to build it up in many layers.
Beach Bunny (right): This one is exactly like Sun Bunny, but with a gold/yellowish tone instead of a red one. On the face though, Sun Bunny and Beach Bunny look exactly the same. Only thing that is different is the fact that you can pick and choose which shade you would like to use from the pan, but for this particular palette it is quite impossible since the pans are about 3.5 cm wide in diameter.
NONBRONZERS
Pink Leopard (left): This shade is super flattering on the apples of the cheeks and on the high top points of your cheek bones. This reminds me of Rockateur blush by Benefit in its sheer rosy golden-y tone. I really love this blush for those days when I don't know what color to wear on my cheeks because it literally complements every type of makeup look.

Snow Bunny (right): This is a very sheer gold toned highlighter. It can be used for everyday wear since the pigmentation is not as intense as other highlighters out there. It gives a natural tanned sheen on your cheeks which is perfect for the warmer weathers.
IN CONCLUSION
Again, I think this will be a fantastic addition to your bronzer collection if you are addicted to bronzers like I am. If you also want to try multiple bronzer shades and finishes without closing your checking account, I think this will be an amazing investment. I mean obviously this would not be okay for traveling and such, but I certainly don't think this palette is meant for traveling. If there is a certain shade from the palette that fancies you, you can definitely buy the $30 dollar individual pans for traveling.
What is your opinion on this palette? Do you think it is little bit excessive to have 7 different bronzers or do you think it is something that you would be interested in for this summer?
