Cadbury mini eggs VS Milka mini eggs

The best reason to check out shops after a big holiday is the reductions. All easter related things were 50% off so I decided to grab a bag of cadbury mini eggs. I found the milka ones in another shop so I thought it might be interesting to see whether they taste the same.
They actually look the same as have pink, purple, yellow and white as main colours, but the Cadbury eggs having small brown sprinkles on them.
So I tried both of them but I must admit that the chocolate tastes totally different.
Not what I expected!
The Cadbury ones tasted creamier, which doesn't mean they were softer just that a lot of cream has been added ( I think), and the Milka ones kind of plain-ish.
It's really hard to describe the taste of chocolate....
But anyway, the two bags of chocolate eggs were around the same price and I really have to say that they both tasted great ( you can tell because I ate both bags/200 grams worth of chocolate in less than two hours, which is my personal record).

Swedish sweets: bakelse prinsess ( princess cake )

I found this interesting little thing in the food section of ikea after I finished buying some stuff. It just looked delicious so I had to buy and try it. They had it at the Ikea restaurant too, so if you want to try it, prior to buying it, this might help you decide.
One box contained 4 little frozen, fist-sized princess cakes in seperate plastic containers. They look exactly like on the packaging when frozen, but the ones I saw in the restaurant were kind of wet on the top as they were defrosted. 
I tried eating mine half frozen, half defrosted because the almond paste was getting sticky and only the cream was frozen hard. I was kind of impatient too...
The cake tastes very delicious when chilled as the cream tastes more like ice cream and the jam gives it a splash of fruity taste. What I like about this cake in particular is that each cake it is packed seperately and is 1 serving size, so that you can defrost one for yourself even if nobody's eating with you.

Japanese sweets: Meiji Watapatchi grape review

bought this wonderful package of japanese candy floss on ebay for around £1.50. 
The design was a little bit different from the image on the page but I guess that they've just changed the design of the packaging because they felt like.
The candy floss was fake-grape scented ( the very artificial flavour of grapes commonly used in sweets that should taste of grapes ). The consistency was soft, somewhat felty. 
It had layers of candy floss and purple sugar rocks with white stuff ( I couldn't identify what it was, but I think it was icing sugar) . It tasted of fake-grapes and the sugar rocks were really fizzy, slightly sour and were kind of exploding in my mouth. I could hear the popping noise in my brain , which was scary , yet funny.
Unfortunately the sugar rocks and the icing sugar kept on falling out of the candy floss.
I think it's defenitely worth trying this if you get the chance to.

Victoria's secret must buys

I usually don't go into a Victoria's secret to buy pants, but most mid-50 men think I do so they were grinning when I passed them.... Wierd people are running around , wierd people.... So, yeah.
Here's what I actually bought
A vanilla lace hand and body cream, a sensual blush body lotion and a coconut passion body spray. They were just the scents I liked the most. I intended to buy something blue-ish or purple-ish, but I thought these products were a lot more appealing regarding the scent.
A shiny lipgloss melon flavoured.
Unfortunately the victoria's secret I went to didn't have my favourite ( cotton candy  or something similar) so I took the second best sweet lipgloss.
