Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are well :)
Today I have a fake tan review for you all.
I should probably start out by saying I really am clueless when it comes to tan.
I am not really into fake tan like most girls I know, the only time I wear fake tan is when I am going on a night out. This is purely to avoid looking like a member of the Cullen family, I am as white as a ghost!
I like to see the tan as I am applying it which is why I always opt for instant.
That along with the fact that I like the option of being able to wash it off the next morning and returning to my Casper like self!
I am in awe of girls who are able to apply fake tan that they cannot see going on, if that were me I'd be a streaky mess so fair play girls!
The first instant tan I ever used was Rimmel Sun Shimmer and 5 years later I still use it when in need of a golden glow, until now.
Cocoa Brown tan, like the instant tan I wear, I can see it as I am applying.
However the difference with Cocoa Brown is that it lasts up to 5 days.
Recently I went to an Irish Blogger/Vlogger meetup, we tend to do these a couple of times a year and it was great meeting up with the girls again!
During the meetup we had a couple of guest speakers in, one being Marissa Carter creator of Cocoa Brown Tan and owner of Carter Beauty Blackrock.
Marissa to say the least was inspiring.
She is a lady who oozes passion, confidence and ambition.
Marissa spoke to us about her revolutionary tan that is taking the market by storm. To say I was hanging on her every word was an understatement!
Marissa talked us through each of the ingredients in detail that makes this tan so unique.
Most of all I was delighted to hear that the tan would suit sensitive skin.
Due to the fact that I suffer from outbreaks of eczema I am weary about using certain products for fear of an out break.
This tan includes accelerating ingredients allowing it to develop after just 1 hour. You will be left with a light tan after 1 hour.
If you prefer a medium tan you can leave it on for 2 hours before washing it off. Finally if you want a deeper tan you leave it on for 3 hours,
the tan will not develop any further after the 3 hours.
It really is that straight forward, its fool proof!
The tan also contains Tahitian Gardenia which gives it that floral scent opposed to that biscuit/curry smell that most tans usually give off.
The tan is a mousse formula which dries almost instantly into the skin...no more standing around naked waiting for tan to dry woohoo!
A little goes a long way with this tan, so far I have tanned my full body twice.
This is because the mousse expands largely once pumped onto the mitt.
The tan retails at €7.99 for 150ml and comes in this beautiful pink bottle.
Marissa wanted to not only create a revolutionary tan, she wanted to create a tan that would sit proudly on her customers vanity or dresser among their other beauty products.
Paying close attention to detail when it came to packaging I think she did herself proud with this gorgeous pink bottle!
Now for the results!
What I have done is I have taken before and after pictures with and without flash as I was trying to get the pictures as true to life as possible.
I also decided to leave this tan on for the full 3 hours :)
The pictures really do not do the tan justice, it was such a gorgeous golden brown...cocoa brown I should say!
As you can see there is a huge difference in the before and after pictures.
I am nicely tanned but not tango'd, success! :)
The tan lasted extremely well and faded off nicely too.
When I have gone for spray tans I find the tan always comes off in patches or can appear quite scaley after a couple of days.
With Cocoa Brown this is not the case.
Its safe to say I'll be using this tan from now on its an absolute dream to work with, I am super impressed!
Cocoa Brown is now available in 450 pharmacies nationwide so you will have no problems getting your hands on some.
Overall
Thanks for tuning in everyone!
Talk to you soon.
