CHOCOLATE FANTASIES

Posted by 02.10.12

It has been said that flowers and champagne set the stage, but chocolate steals the show. Did you know that a piece of chocolate melting in your mouth is more intense than a passionate kiss – and the effects last four times as long? Beauty too can’t resist chocolate’s siren call; you’ll find it included in everything from fragrance to bronzing powder.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time for a little indulgence. Check out these calorie-free treats for face, body and soul. Who needs a truffle when you can soak in a bath brimming with chocolate flavored suds or scrub your body with a mouth-watering chocolate exfoliant?

And remember: Chocolate doesn’t make the world go around … but it certainly makes the ride worthwhile!

CONCENTRATED & ULTRA RICH

L’Occitane’s Cocoa Flower Ultra Rich Shea Body Cream ($21) is an exceptionally concentrated and moisturizing delight to nourish, protect and hydrate the skin. The shea butter is enriched with cocoa extracts to delicately perfume the skin with a sweet and sophisticated fragrance – without being overpowering. Available now in a limited edition tin.
