Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan

Hello there;

I know I will probably get told off for this, but I used to go on the sun beds, a lot. Up to two times a week and sometimes 12 minutes at a time. Then I got a severer telling off from my mum, I knew I needed to stop but I enjoyed it too much. I hate being pale. After this telling off, I did stop so it was time to start using fake tan. I have used fake tan in the past, usually Fake Bake or St. Tropez. They are fantastic self tanners, I cannot take that away from them. But there is a cheeky little Irish company on the market that is taking their spotlight a tad. Cocoa Brown. 

Cocoa Brown firstly are fantastic with interacting with their customers. I have many a conversation with them on Twitter. I knew I had to try their products just from them being so friendly. It was Marissa Carters aim to make a fake tan that dried fast, didn't have the typical fake tan smell and looked natural. Did she manage it though?!

I chose the 1 Hour Tan Mousse (£7.99), well because I am lazy and if I want a quick pop of colour only waiting a hour is perfect for me. With this mousse you can leave it on for a hour but up to three hours if you want a darker tan. Lucky for you today I have pictures of the stages of this tan developing.

Yes, I really am that pale. 

Straight away, you can see the colour difference. Its a really natural looking tan. One of the first things I noticed from using this tan is how fast it dries! I am usually walking around the house naked for 10-15 minutes wafting my arms about like a mad woman. But no joke in less than 10 minutes this was dry and I was dressed. 

Once your desired tan time is up, pop into the shower and let the water rinse off the excess. And this is the finally product. Lets just take a quick second to appreciate how natural it looks. No streaks, it covered my knobbly bits with no extra product gathered around the edges, I hate orange knees. And I know the next one is no use for you as we don't have smellovision, but it doesn't have the fake fan smell! It has a slight floral smell to it. Even more boyfriend commented on how nice it smelt, so it must be a good smell! 

I really cannot recommend Cocoa Brown enough. I will never not use anything else now, their prices are fantastic. They are so customer focused and are now in most Superdrugs/Primarks around the UK. Oh and did I mention Millie Mackintosh is a fan too! 

Have you tried Cocoa Brown before?!
