Happy Easter!



It’s been a little while since I last posted on here but starting uni has been quite busy and very stressful. Nonetheless I am still here and excited to post about my life.

It’s getting to that time of year when we all treat ourselves (or more commonly gorge ourselves) with the delicacy that is chocolate! I thought that this post was due as I have already scoffed down my first chocolate bunny (a Cadbury Marvellous Creations Bunny with popping candy… YUM!). So I thought I’d share with you a few items that won’t make you feel so guilty after enjoying their chocolaty goodness!



#1 Bourjois delice de soleil bronzer shade #12 for fair/medium skin



This delectable chocolate scented bronzer is packed in a very sleek and practical compact with a 360 degree rotating mirror and brush. While I tend to opt for the real techniques contour brush instead, the product gives the perfect amount of shimmer and colour for my skin tone. I can’t help but smell the powder every time I use it, so this is a sure way to get your guilt free chocolate fix.

#2 Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Body Scrub paired with the Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Natural Bronze self-tanning moisturiser.
 


This pairing is a chocolate match made in heaven for your body! The scrub has a delightful cocoa butter scent with the fantastic gritty consistency of a body scrub. It is perfect for being used just before applying the self-tanning moisturiser as it exfoliates your skin so that it is ready for the moisturiser. I find that the self-tanning moisturiser delivers the best results when a plain moisturiser is used first on areas such as the knees and elbows to prevent those embarrassing fake tan marks. This moisturiser is great because it allows you to build up the tan to your desired shade simply by applying more or less often (I usually apply it every second day for a week).

#3 Beauticology White Chocolate Body Butter
 

This body butter comes from a little Beauticology gift pack we were selling at work after Christmas time for half price so I couldn’t resist! Although I’m not a big fan of white chocolate, this body butter smells positively amazing! It smells quite similar to white chocolate but if it had to be described another way I would say it smells of cocoa butter with a touch of vanilla and musk. This is the perfect body butter for the weather in Australia right now where winter is creeping up and it is starting to get colder. 

I hope that whatever you choose to do to get your chocolate fix this Easter; whether you eat mass amounts of chocolate, use your chocolaty beauty/body items or curl up on the couch with a nice cup of hot chocolate and read this blog post, that you allow yourself to enjoy this occasion and treat yourself because you deserve it!

Happy Easter to all

Sayonara! xo
