Chocolate Lovers – Origins

slee...@aol.com (Sleepi8)
Just giving the heads up, that Origins has a new chocolate scented line out. I
saw it in Grand Central Station, and I'm sure it'll be available all over the
country in the next few weeks. I'll give a quick review here, but remember
YMMV.
limited edition product – I don't know remember what they're calling it, but it
smells like a Hershey's bar, and it is very moisturizing. To me, this scent
was the best of the products.
A light (chocolate mousse) moisturizer – The scent was not bad, but it's not as
chocolately as the heavier, limited edition moisturizer.
A chocolate scrub – This is not like St. Ives. It smelled very chemical to me.
I did not like it at all.
A scented oil roll–on – This smelled good when first applied, but faded away
within the first 5 minutes after application.
I didn't buy any products today, but I think I'm going to buy the limited
edition moisturizer (?) tomorrow.
Warning: After sampling the above, I started craving a chocolate biscotti,
which I ended up buying to eat on the train. :)

Thanks for the heads up! I just called my Origins store and they expect
shipment in on November 15. They have already started a calling list for
those who wanted to be contacted when it arrives. FYI, this is going to be
called their "Cocoatherapy" line.

Sounds like a dream. I wonder if it will get to Singapore.

It's great. I got the body balm, they have a roll–on also, a scrub and a massage
balm. They were unpacking it as I walked into the store, I sure it will get there.
