Simon Dunn Chocolatier



Simon Dunn Chocolatier is a company that make handmade chocolates fresh in store daily using only the best ingredients. They also do bespoke items made to order.
I was sent a lovely chocolate box of 10 handmade chocolate truffles to review which had an assortment of luxury handmade chocolates. This is a luxury chocolate box selection of their finest handmade Belgian chocolate truffles made using only the very best ingredients.


The chocolate’s came in a lovely box which was presented really well and finished off with a bow as you can see from the above picture. When you opened the box the chocolates where wrapped and covered in tissue paper which I thought was a lovely little touch.


Inside the box when you lifted open the tissue paper was a lovely little leaflet which showed you the different flavours and what kinds they all were.


Next was the best bit. Actually getting to try all the yummy different chocolates. I have to admit I didn’t use the leaflet as I wanted to try guessing the different flavours just through the taste. 
 

From the first bite of the first chocolate I could tell straight away that these were high quality chocolates made from the best ingredients. There was a variety of different kinds from milk chocolate to white to dark chocolate and I savoured every single one, I loved the taste of these chocolates. I will defiantly be purchasing some more to get my chocolate fix again. I took close up pictures of each of them to show you how exquisite they look.

Treacle Moon's Limited Edition Warm Cinnamon Nights Bath and Shower Gel



There’s nothing more I love then a lovely long soak in the bath on a cold winter night, and that’s where my latest review comes in. Just as the winter weather starts Treacle Moon launches its 2012 Winter Special Edition; Warm Cinnamon Nights Bath & Shower Gel, available exclusively at Tesco.


This, in my opinion, is the perfect smell for the winter season. The winning fragrance is based on cosy accords of warming cinnamon, spicy clove, syrupy ginger, vanilla and just a drizzle of sweet honey, all topped with a zesty note of orange and a hint of comforting stewed apple. The smell was amazing. The cinnamon wasn’t too strong, mixed with all the others was just the perfect amount. 

I loved the bottle design; it was so quirky and unique and defiantly stands out on a shelf. I also loved the colour of it, before I'd even tried it I already loved this product and it looked amazing in my bathroom. It was perfect for me. Not only does a little go a long way, but it also foams up really well. Some other makes from different companies I’ve tried in the past don’t really foam up so I was really impressed by how little I had to use to get a good foam.
Warm Cinnamon Nights is available in a huge 500ml bottle, exclusively at Tesco for £2.99.  However it is a limited edition so won’t be around forever, so if you want to experience your own warm cinnamon night then you'd better be quick. And while you’re on try some of the many other amazing products they make, you won’t be disappointed and will defiantly want more.
