Confessions of a chocoholic

06 Apr 2009 07:00 AM | Posted by Editor

Men will never understand girls and their chocolate. Luckily we do. So go forth and indulge in these choccy delights:

Here’s one box of chocolates that isn’t bad for you. Set the pace with one of the seven Bobbi Brown eye shades, go easy on the blush though, no one wants to look like a Red Tulip Easter Egg!

2. Lush Chocolate Whip Stick

Like a dish of Cadbury’s finest-made chocolate, Lush Chocolate Whip Stick glides smoothly over the lips, yet doesn’t cause variation to the hips! The chocolate perfume is enough to give a quick fix for those trying to resist temptation.

3. Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Mud Masque

Feel devilishly decadent this winter with a pampering mud masque that (apart from smelling seriously divine) gets to work unblocking pores and hydrating, imparting skin with a gorgeous glow. Just be sure the masque goes on the face, not in the mouth!

4. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
Getting golden and glam has never been more delicious! Combining real cocoa powder with shimmering bronzing pigments to neutralise red, uneven skin tones, the only thing that could make this sweet-smelling bronzer better would be if it were edible. A girl can only dream.

5. Red Earth Star Lights Eye & Face Palette in Chocolate Dream

This cute-as-a-button palette is sure to rise to staple status in no time. Housed in sleek black casing, complete with delicate chain, Chocolate Dream comprises smouldering shimmers and deep, rich browns. Simply stunning.

6. 100% Pure Dark Chocolate Mocha Shower Gel
What better way to start the day than with a rich, dark mocha? Like its namesake the antioxidant-packed shower gel – that’s made with dark Belgian chocolate and Hawaiian Kona coffee – will invigorate the senses and have you ready for action, minus the caffeine hangover.

7. Bellaboo Sweet Sin Chocolate Indulgence Mask

This minty-fresh, refining mask features witch hazel to control oiliness, cocoa extract to boost skin function and German chamomile to calm irritated skin, putting paid to the notion that chocolate is bad for skin, surely?

8. APIVITA Body Milk with White Chocolate & Vanilla

Mixed with rich vanilla and avocado oil to moisturise and protect skin, this body milk will wrap you in an envelope of luxury and leave you smelling like a Max Brenner special – scrumptious!

Liking the sound of the chocolate body wash.mmmmmm.
That Bobbi Brown palette has some gorgeous bronw colours that aren't too dark for me. I should investigate.
The Aptiva Body lotion with chocolate and vanilla sound like a winning combination.

Mmmm, Chocolate, your making me hungry BH. I'm also loving the shower gel although am somewhat worried that I or someone in my household may be tempted to try it. I went to Hawaii last year and their Kona coffee has since been a household favourite, too. I think I may stick with the Red Earth Face Palette as although my sisters may borrow it, they wouldn't be tempted to try it!
