Chocolate delights

Everyone loves to receive chocolate at Easter, but not all of us like the effect it can have on our waistlines. So what better way to indulge in some chocolate delight than with a host of yummy beauty treats…
What is it about girls and chocolate? There seems to be some underlying magnetic force that pulls the two together, like yin and yang, and when that moment arises - when the two finally collide (i.e. chocolate bar and mouth) - peace reigns and equilibrium is restored. For at least five minutes.

Ultimate indulgence
1. Urban Rituelle Orange & Chocolate Lip Balm, $9.95
Enriched with soothing natural ingredients such as beeswax, shea butter, almond oil and vitamin E, this comforting lip balm is scented with orange and chocolate (think Terry's Chocolate Orange), making it good enough to eat – although we don't recommend that!
2. Vani-T Hot Chocolate Body Oil, $24.95
Work off all those chocolate-induced calories by giving your loved one a romantic massage. Of course, once he's done it's your turn.
3. Maddiggan Secret Sunset Rich Body Souffle, $19.95 - 1300 650 981
With a beautiful blend of shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado oil, apricot oil, rosehip and vitamin E, this rich body cream will have you mmmm-ing in no time.
4. Jemma Cosmetics Hot Chocolate Deliciously Scented Sunless Tan With Bronzer, $19.95
Slather this chocolate treat all over your body for a natural sun-kissed tan.
5. The Lip Scrub by Sara Happ, $29.95
This cute little lip exfoliator buffs away dry, flaky skin, leaving lips super soft and supple. It comes in six yummy flavours but we love Cocoa - it's sure to leave you licking your lips all day long.
6. Pantene Pro-V Brunette Expressions Shampoo – nutmeg to dark chocolate, $11.99
Wash your hair daily with this colour restoring shampoo. Designed for darker hair shades, it boosts the richness of chocolate hues while freeing hair of impurities.
7. i.d. bareMinerals Natural Lip Colour in Chocolate Souffle, $40
Here's a chocolate you can put on your lips without it touching your hips.
8. L'Oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss in Iced Chocolate, $14.95
Get glossy hair that looks good enough to eat. Iced chocolate will add warmth to a winter complexion.
9. Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder, $30
Give into your cravings with this best-seller from Bourjois. Tempting squares of chocolate bronzer will get you glowing all winter long.
10. Eminence Organic Skin Care Chocolate Mousse Hydration Masque, $79
Packed with antioxidants, this calorie free chocolate mousse drenches the skin for a deep moisture surge.

I'm such a chocoholic! I know it's bad for my waistline however I just can't resist temptations and as for these products they look delicious. As well as the taste of chocolate, I also love the aroma, yum yum :)

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula should have been given a mention, it has a rich chocolaty smell & melts into skin. It should definitely be given a try. As for Easter I'm really excited! They've been selling easter eggs in the shops since January & I haven't given into temptation, so I'm really looking forward to next Sunday!

My favorite chocolate is Terry's so I think I most definitely need that Urban Rituelle lip balm.

I love chocolate scented products, and I agree Kat1, Palmer's products are amazing. Their dark chocolate lip butter is heavenly.

The lip scrub looks amazing. I'm not sure how I'll go however, the look of chocolate will make me want some!

Yes... that scrub does look devine - I'd rather it on my lips than going to my hips - but would'nt that just tease the senses?
Oh... the love of chocolate...I just can't resist either - they should make a chocolate that makes you lose weight not put it on. At least it has antioxidants, thats one consolation for temptation.

I like chocolate.. actually I'll rephrase I LOVE chocolate... but only to eat. The thought of putting even chocolate flavoured products on my skin disturbs me for some reason. I think I'll just stick to the choccies!

This is an awesome idea, every easter I am torn between not getting anything or ruining my diet. I have emailed this to by boyfriend.... the Hot Chocolate body oil would make us both happy on easter ;-)
