Hot chocolate

beauty,Chocolate Melted chocolate hearts

 

By Eminé Ali Rushton

 

We\'ve lined up the most scrumptious smelling chocolate beauty treats on the shelves - so that you can bathe, scrub, pamper and preen your way into chocoholic heaven, without suffering the downside of a sugar rush, or the surge of the dreaded scales.

 

 

Germaine de Capuccini Chocoscrub

body scrub,beauty,Chocolate,Germaine De Capuccini Germaine de cappuccini chocoscrub

 

Chocolate that helps you lose weight? You bet. This rich body exfoliator is packed with real cocoa pieces that slough away dead cells and leave skin sleek and silky. And thanks to the high-strength caffeine shot, it\'s also a dab-hand at diminishing cellulite. Even if the mochalicious smell has you fooled.

 

Germaine de Capuccini Chocoscrub, £26 (0845 600 0203)

 

 

Thorntons Hot Chocolate Scented Candle

What if you could fill your home with the smell of rich, steaming hot chocolate? That\'s the idea behind this Little Luxury candle, which burns for 20 hours - just long enough to satisfy the sweetest of teeth. If not, Thorntons are happy to deliver a selection that will.

Jessica Chocolate Passion Nail Polish

The idea of painting nails brown may seem far from tasteful, but don\'t write a shade off until you\'ve tried it. A glossy double-coat of this milk chocolate lacquer looks fantastic on super-short fingernails - and is particularly elegant at night. This minky brown gloss will have you mistaking your fingernails for chocolate buttons - nail-biting optional.

 

Jessica Chocolate Passion Nail Polish, £8 (0845 217 1360) 

 

SPA SPC White Chocolate Body Cream

White chocolate cheesecake? Yum. White Chocolate Body Cream? Even better. Made with a blend of natural oils and butters, including cocoa and shea, with coconut, sweet almond and soya bean oils, layer it on after bathing for the icing on a perfect pampering evening.

Estée Lauder Signature Chocolate Box Eyeshadow Quad

For once there\'s no need to wave away the offer of a box of chocolate truffles - not when they come as part of Estée Lauder\'s Chocolate Decadence collection. These silky fine shadows are embossed with caramel and champagne swirls, which when blended together highlight, illuminate and blend to a seamless finish every time. Pair with jet-black lashes and liner for full-on flutter appeal.

Chocolate Lip Gloss Heaven Gift Set

These quirky little glosses look just like decadent chocolates, but one flip of the lid and they\'re filled with sparkly, cocoa-flavoured, gloss. The perfect, under a tenner treat that won\'t spoil your appetite before lunchtime.

Raw Gaia Raw Chocolate Face Pack

Made from four all-natural ingredients, raw chocolate powder, sundried red clay, turmeric and amla fruit powder, this simple, but effective formula, is packed to bursting with antioxidants known to smooth and tone the complexion. Blend one teaspoon of the pack with water to form a thick cream, then layer onto clean skin, rest and relax for ten minutes and wash off. The water-free formula also means that this product will last for a month - which, despite our best intentions, has never been the case with the chocolate stashed in our kitchen cupboards.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Chocolate Shimmer Ink

The formula of this award-winning flawless liner has won fans all over the world - so it\'s no surprise that Bobbi Brown has expanded her colour repertoire and now serves up 16 different shades. This rich-chocolate version is fantastic for fair beauties and glides on without snags or splashes, and stays put all day long.

Lush Whipstick Lip Balm

lip balm,beauty,Chocolate,Lush Lush lip balm

 

 

This lip treat should come with a warning - a look at the mocha colour and sniff of the Chocolate Orange scent and you\'ll be hooked. It\'s made for those who cannot tolerate cocoa butter or lanolin in their balms - and uses a natural mix of oils and oat milk which actually tastes as yummy as it feels. Prepare to develop a disturbing lip-smacking habit...
