Chocolate Decadence

With Easter to look forward to this weekend, most will be indulging in chocolates, and I think our fabulous girls should too! But I’m not referring to those edible bunnies and eggs, I’m talking about Estēe Lauder’s new collection – Chocolate Decadence.  A truly tempting selection of sugary-rich colours to tantalise your palette this Autumn.

Estēe Lauder has captured the essence of luxurious chocolate with this collection.  Tempt yourself with Berry Chocolate Truffles or Caramel Praline, you can even enjoy a swirl of marbled fondant dusted with golden spun sugar.  And the greatest thing about these indulgences,  is that they won’t show up on your hips either!

Get down to an Estēe Lauder Counter this weekend and try them all out:

Behind the Scenes

Check out these insider shots of the beautiful Hilary Road, the Spokesmodel for this campaign and some Q & A from Tara Cohen – Executive Director of Global Product Development and Innovation at Estēe Lauder.

SS: What was the inspiration for this collection?
TC: “We were inspired by the fashionable chocolate boutiques and cafes, from the Neue Galerie’s Café Sabarsky in New York to small boutiques in Paris like Puerto Cacao, that are growing in numbers around the world, and were particularly inspired by the decadent chocolate confections that incorporate chocolate as a design element, making it more than a dessert – in essence, a beautiful and desirable gift item.”

SS: Tell us about the decadent design of these products
TC:”We wanted to create products with a strong visual impact and immediately thought of a rich, decadent truffle dessert. Those with delectable fillings like creamy caramel and juicy raspberry. “
