Guilt-free Chocolate

February 2nd, 2012

One word: Chocomania!

That’s the name of the new Body Shop bath & body line for Valentine’s day. And the best part – it smells like rich, delicious chocolate. Who wouldn’t want to be dipped in luxurious chocolate? At this point I wish there was such a thing as a scratch n’ sniff computer screen. You have to smell the products to believe the deliciousness.

The line includes chocolate scented BODY SCRUB, SHOWER CREAM, SOAP, BODY LOTION, BODY BUTTER and LIP BUTTER.

Available February 6th, 2012 at THE BODY SHOP stores.
