Sweet Beauty Chocolate Body Cream




The Sweet Beauty Chocolate Body Cream is a decadent, wonderful-smelling, nicely moisturizing body cream. It's true what they say in the description over at Babeland- it'll make you smell good enough to eat.

However, don't try eating it. It's not for noms. My first reflex after opening the package was to taste it- and while it had a lovely aftertaste of chocolate, the first taste was rather bitter. This is clearly a lavish cream to make you smell great, and feel great.

Obviously, I absolutely loved it. Being in a unique situation right now, where smells are much stronger than normal, I find this a real treat. It smells like the best chocolate bar out there. It really does make me want to eat it. As my side business involves making bath products, I can say that this is well crafted, with a high absorption rate- that means that when you spread it on your skin, it soaks in and provides it with moisture and nourishment. It's made with organic fair trade Theo chocolate, and while I'm not the biggest fan of organic farming, some things ARE better when left au natural.

I recommend this for anyone who likes rich, chocolaty smells, a good lotion and wants to pamper themselves. It doesn't really have the other things that I normally rate on, but still, I give this a 10 out of 10!!



The first of this month's review is the Babeland Pocket Rocket. It's a nifty little toy, though I have to say that for the first time in my experience with them, Babeland didn't meet my expectations. This is, possibly, because I'm the type of person that required a LOT of vibration to reach climax; but I digress. First, we'll go over the pros of this little fellow-

Size: I like that it's so nice and discreet- it's a little shorter than the length of my hand, has a small diameter (it's intended for external use only) and is easy to slip into a pocket or small bag.

Appearance: It's friendly looking. With little massage 'nubs' on the business end, a fetching shade of blue and just being over-all non-threatening, this seems like a good toy for beginners, or for people who are looking for something very simple.

However, there were also the cons-- one of which is personal and will DEFINITELY vary with the user. It's by no means the end-all to this little toy.

Vibration: This toy doesn't have a lot of get-up-and-go. Maybe it's because it's so small, maybe it's because it was just designed to be a simpler toy. Either way, there wasn't enough 'oomf' to get me to climax. I tried for a good long while (and it was still very enjoyable!), but it just wasn't enough. There's no variation in the speed, either, which I always find as a nice touch in toys.

Casing: The problem that I had with its casing was with the open/on/off area. I'd turn it from 'on' to 'off', and wind up having it click over to 'open', and then have it come apart in my hand. This happened a few times, and was rather disappointing. I'm not sure if it was just the individual toy that I had, or if this is a flaw with the model, but be careful!

Visuals: 5 out of 10. It's made for function, not for being pretty to look at. But it's not flat-out ugly, either.
Sensation: 3 out of 10. Again, this is my personal preference. It may be different for you.
Recommendation: Beginner.
