When the topic of chocolate comes up, the average person probably envisions a decadent molten chocolate lava cake, or maybe some serious deep chocolate gelato. We love chocolate desserts, in particular ones that stand around 6’3″, moonlight as a DJ and speak with an incredibly sexy British accent. Yep, we’re talking Idris Elba… (Please become the next 007!)

Coming in at a close second to our favorite male chocolate drop would be beauty products. Lots and lots of beauty products. Makeup (Too Faced has practically created a cult following with chocolate), skin care, body care, hair care and fragrance nuanced with hints of chocolate color or scent are the fare of the day, National Chocolate Day. 

Naturally, we rounded up the best in chocolate beauty to share with you today.
