13 Dessert-Themed Beauty Products, Because Let's Face It — Everybody Loves A Good Cupcake

Despite the fact that National Donut Day has passed, there is nothing wrong with indulging in a decadent dessert — especially in the form of a saccharine beauty product. The aesthetics and aroma of a chocolate lava cake or dulce de leche sundae are half the fun, so why not indulge daily with your cosmetics? The daily drag of shampooing one's hair is infinitely more enjoyable with a swoon-worthy scented shampoo, and a bronzer made with bona fide cocoa transforms the process of facial contouring into a religious experience. Scroll through for 13 beauty products guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth, and don't be surprised if you begin to crave caramel lip balm in lieu of your daily macchiato.
