There’s no denying the fact that our office is largely made up of chocoholics; we love chocolate in all shapes, sizes and varieties. With Easter on the horizon, we’re craving all kinds of sweet treats and have very little willpower to resist. If you’re like us and you’ve got a very sweet tooth and a mild (who are we kidding? MAJOR) beauty obsession, it’s likely you will love these chocolate-inspired must-haves we’ve got our eye on. We’re not going to lie (‘cus we like to keep it real), we’re used to spending the long Easter weekend knee deep in chocolate eggs with the evidence smeared around our mouths, but this year, we’re showing you how to indulge in a guilt-free Easter with these eggcellent chocolate beauty treats that will spare you ALL the calories.
Too Faced are Beauty world Queens when it comes to chocolate makeup; they’ve pretty much got the whole shebang! Most famously known for their original Chocolate Bar palette, Too Faced now has a variety of chocolate scents to smear across your lids. Our top pick? The Chocolate Bon Bons eyeshadow palette – the third (and quite possibly the sweetest) in the collection. Infused with antioxidant-rich cocoa powder, this palette has deffo earned its spot on your dresser, that’s fo’ sho’. The candy-coated confection features 16 heart-shaped delights, including long-wearing matte and shimmer shades in cool pops of colour – we’re talking sugary brights to sweet neutrals – delicious! Finish the look with the delectable Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer and Melted Chocolate Liquified Lipstick in Chocolate Honey. Seriously, it’s like diving head first into a chocolate fondue – YUM.
If you’ve got this far without singing Kylie’s “You’re sweet like chocolate, you bring me so much joyyyyyy…” then you did better than us. No Easter beauty bonanza would be worthy of celebrating without the Library of Fragrance Dark Chocolate Cologne. This stuff is so indulgent that it will (quite literally) have you smelling like you’ve just bathed in chocolate. Whether that’s a good or bad thing, we’re not sure – it is up to you to decide…
Without the real deal, a chocolate face mask is as close to covering our faces in chocolate as we’re going to get, and we’d totes recommend this Chocolate Mud Masque from our fave mask experts, 7th Heaven. Guilt free dark Belgian chocolate, this mask blends creamed Cocoa Butter and crushed Cocoa Beans with ultra-moisturising Shea Butter to leave skin silky soft and deeply cleansed. Warning: mouths will water and we know it’s tempting, but please don’t eat it 😉
Out and about or on your travels? Don’t worry, y’all can still get your chocolate fix and taste the sweetness without adding an inch to your hips. Lucky Cloud’s Chocolate Lip Butter brings an authentic taste to your lips while nourishing your pout in the process. Using Cocoa Seed Butter, this handbag-friendly balm is also 100% Vegan. Not having 10 Easter eggs isn’t sounding too bad now, is it? OK, we did honestly try to tell ourselves that. We may be marginally distracted by the sweet smell of cocoa-infused products, but that’s not to say we won’t be diving head first into a (family) bag of mini eggs, too…
For those with an undeniable sweet tooth who would rather consume their chocolate than wear it, we’ve teamed up with the chocolate masters at Godiva to bring you a sugary sweet Easter giveaway you’re not gonna want to miss. Head over to our Twitter to be in with a chance of winning one of ten boxes of yummy chocolates (we’ve already polished off a box – oops!) Similarly, If you just need to cave and buy that Easter egg (or six, we won’t judge), Godiva’s Easter range is bang on the money (or, should that be eggs?)
