If I say the phrase 'Better than a Cheesecake', you will know that I am referring to a pretty lady: A pin-up girl. The earliest documented proof of this sense of cheesecake is in 1934, predating pin-up, although it reads the phrase was in spoken slang some 20 years earlier. In the 1950's, for example, there was a periodical magazine called Cheesecake: An American Phenomenon, that had a young Marilyn Monroe in a yellow bikini on its cover in 1953.
After this brief top, I would like
to show you how to turn into a 'chocolate cake', I mean, my Chocomania collection from The Body Shop©.
It was my Valentine's day gift :). The set, whose slogan reads 'Wear it,
love it, but don’t eat it', was a lovely basket which contained:
1. Chocomania Shower Cream (Prize: £4.00-
€5.00 approx- $6.30 approx).
It contains real cocoa butter and it
is very soft so it won't dry out your skin. This product is soap free so you
will feel the fragrance on your skin like when you are drinking a hot delicious
chocolate. The texture is thick and creamy. The colour is caramel like and if you
feel like having a bath, fill up your bathtub water, pour some shower cream
into it and relax. It will create a lot of bubbles.
2. Chocomania Body Butter (Prize: £12.50-
€15.60 approx- $19.62 approx).
This luxurious chocolatey Body
Butter provides 48-hour hydration, thanks to buttery texture. It is not sticky
given that it will be absorbed quickly on your skin. It leaves skin sweetly
scented, and feeling softer and smoother. The colour is ivory like without
shimmering.
3. Chocomania Body Scrub (Prize: £12,50-
€15.60 approx- $19.62 approx).
It contains real cocoa butter and organic cane sugar. This exfoliating body scrub has a pleasant chocolatey scent and leaves skin feeling softer and smoother. If you applied the product over your skin, it will remove dead skin cells and will stimulate her microcirculation at the same time. The colour is like brown ebony with little cane sugar particles.
4. Chocomania Body Lotion (Prize: £8.00-
€10.00 approx- $12.55 approx).
This lovely body lotion has a
chocolate fragrance as the rest of products in the set. Leaves skin feeling
softer and smoother however it doesn't have a long lasting hydration like the
body butter, it is lighter. The colour is like polished ivory and the texture
is very creamy but it will be quickly absorbed.
Bellow, there is a famous 50's advertisement
for Valentine's Day. It was from Whitman's
Chocolates brand (Since 1842), one of the most popular and oldest American
home of boxed chocolates.
It is a worldwide custom to give
chocolates, flowers or cuddly toys as a present for the 14th February. The
slogan of this advertisement is 'Something
special for someone special'. With that, Husbands surprised their wives
with a cute heart box full of little delicious candies.
Nowadays, Brands (like The Body Shop©) propose new alternatives for this
special day. That is why comes up Chocomania,
a new form to say 'I love you'.
Vaya suerte tener un Renato detalloso, otros no entrarían a una perfumería aunque les fuera la vida en ello! Me ha gustado especialmente el exfoliante. Jo,yo uso una esponja de plástico rugoso que no exfolia,desuella. Ains...buscaré alternativa en mercadona. Tienes que probar LUSH!
