Time to get chocolatey this Easter!

Hear ye hear ye, all chocoholics! Easter is around the corner and yes, it is the month of chocolate feasting. Don’t we all love that special taste of chocolate? Whether it’s white, milk, dark, mint, orange, etc., it’s undeniably irresistible. As I believe you already know, eating chocolate makes you feel good as it triggers the release of endorphins into your system. Dark chocolate apparently is also high in anti-oxidants. But lest you decide to go on the dark chocolate diet, let me remind you that whatever the chocolate, there will still be a large amount of calories in it from the milk and sugar. 

If, like me, the advent of Easter is getting you a little nervous about piling on the calories and possibly suicidal from thoughts of breakouts on your face, panicky not. We offer you the chance to indulge in a fat-free chocolate fix. Rather than binging on Mini Eggs and Lindt chocolates, go crazy on these fabulous chocolate beauty products.

Take real good care of your skin by slapping on vegan Raw Gaia Chocolate Face Mask 50g, £8.03 on your face. Packed with raw chocolate powder, this dudette will draw out toxins, cleanse and nourish for a smooth, well-toned complexion.

 Slather cocoa butter all over yourself. Moisturize and firm up at the same time with Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Firming Butter 250ml, £4.50. It’ll make you feel and smell soooo good.

Can’t say ‘no’ to chocolate orange and coffee? LUSH Sonic Death Monkey Shower Gel 250g, £8.07 uses real cocoa butter and arabica coffee, leaving you light-headed and smelling delectable all day.

Take your lust for chocolate to the next level with sulfate-free Healthy Sexy Hair® Chocolate Soymilk Shampoo 13.5oz, £12.95 that maintains hair colour with its sunscreen formula, leaving it smooth and silky whilst giving it a light scent of chocolate milk.

Put away that Dairy Milk and instead, doll yourself up with Bobbi Brown’s Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Milk Chocolate, £16.

 

Then indulge in a soft, sexy and sparkly lipgloss from Lily & Lolo Mineral Cosmetics in Cocoa Kiss, £8 for kissable and oh-so-sweet smackers.

If you’re already working on your summer tan, why not try MAC Eyeshadow in Swiss Chocolate, £9.79. A mute reddish brown matte colour will work wonders in bringing out that chocolate goddess in you!
