XxxLoveIsBeautyxxX: Healthy Glow | Your Blog Description

Hey Beauties!

I am a serious fake tan addict and have tried nearly every brand under the sun and have lots of favourites when it comes to faking that golden glow.

When it comes to faking it, darker is better in my opinion so I go for products that promise to have me looking like I just came back from holidays.

There are so many products out there promising everything from rich scents, deep glows and gradual hints for those that are wary so there really is something for everyone.

Cocoa Brown are an Irish tanning brand that have really exploded onto the scene with their range and are quickly becoming the go-to brand around these parts.

For some strange reason, I never tried their tans so when I got the chance to review their *1 Hour Tan*, I jumped at the chance!

Read on to see what I thought!

What They Say

This revolutionary speedy tan has accelerating ingredients so that it can develop into a rich colour in just 1 hour.

This tan has a signature Gardenia scent and is moisturizing and kind enough to be used on both the face and body.

The easy-to-apply mousse is fast-drying and non-sticky and will fade evenly after about 5 days.

What I Say

I love the packaging of this tan, it's sturdy with a pump applicator which is handy and of course I'm a fan of the girly pink colour.

Usually mousse formulas can leave the skin feeling quite dry but I don't feel that with this tan and the scent is lovely and floral.

I use a tanning mitt to apply it and found that it applied and blended easily without streaking and developed quickly after 1 hour.

After rinsing off the guide colour, the tan lasted well and faded nicely without going patchy.

As with all tans, there is a slight biscuit smell but it's far less noticeable compared to other tans that I've tried.

All in all, this is a great tan and perfect for using for a night out or special occasion when you don't have enough time to wait for an overnight tan to develop.

Check it out girls!

Cocoa Brown products are available from Primark stores and all good drugstores.

Hey Beauties!

Being a massive fake tan addict, I have tried all brands under the sun and have more than a few favourites.

Fewer brands caused more of a stir when they launched than Cocoa Brown, the budget tan that promised a golden glow from the first application.

Beauty bloggers everywhere rejoiced at this launch and it was hailed as the best budget tan around, with 3 bottles selling every minute these days.

I'm writing this article as Cocoa Brown have finally announced who their Brand Ambassador will be and it's none other than Vogue Williams.

Vogue rose to fame on the Irish reality show Fade Street and is now a successful model, DJ and all round fashionista.

The radiant model was chosen due to her fun and feminine personality, which Cocoa Brown feel embodies their brand perfectly.

Vogue had this to say on why maintaining her Cocoa Brown tan makes her feel good and the reasons why she is hooked:

“Having a tan has always been a beauty boost for me, whether I’m on the red carpet or at a photo shoot a golden glow helps me to feel confident and at my best. I always try to be safe in the sun and wanted a fake tan that would give me a natural look without the sun damage. The first time I tried Cocoa Brown I was absolutely blown away by the results. Not only does it give you an amazing colour which is always brown and never orange, it develops incredibly quickly meaning you’re ready to bare in an instant! Unlike many fake tans, it wears-off evenly meaning you avoid those tell-tale streaks, not to mention it has a gorgeous floral scent so you don’t have the embarrassing biscuit smell to contend with!

I discovered Cocoa Brown some time ago and have always been a huge fan of all their products - often writing reviews about their range on my blog. Being asked to take on an ambassador role was a huge thrill and I am delighted to be the face of a brand that I have loved for so long.”
