Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Dark Tan Self Tanner

Hello my beauties :) :) 

I told you I would be back if anything new came up from Cocoa Brown and I have to say she has did it once again.  She has always been listening to what we want and alot of us wanted a self tanner that was easy to apply, easy on the skin and lasts 5 - 7 days without patchiness.  I absolutely loved the natural tan The 1 hour Tan gave me see the results here 

Well Marissa as she always does listens to her customers and decided to bring out a darker version of the 1 hour self tanner :) :) which was released Spring of this year 

Happy Days !!!!! 

We all know what its like wanting different tans for different occasions.  The original 1 hour tan is perfect for that everyday natural looking tan.  The Cocoa Brown Lovely Legs is perfect for a more darker look especially when you are wearing a dress and are going to be lots of photos ;) 

Now we have the Darker 1 hour Tan for those times where you want to go out in the town and look like you have just come home from a sunny Island.  I especially took advantage of this little can of joy when I was heading on a day trip with my lovely kiddies Powerscourt and knew I was going to be in lots of photos.  

Again like before I ex foliated my skin of course with Cocoa Browns Tough Stuff for 2 days before applying Cocoa Browns 1 Hour Darker Tan.  The night before applying I made sure to deeply moisturise the areas that are more likely to go darker aka rough area such as feet hands elbows and knees (Always remember to use oil free moisturiser)  Of course the best oil free moisturiser I have bee using lately is the Cocoa Brown Chocolate Whip Body Moisturiser.  I also varnished my nails so that my nails did not stain.  I decided like the last time I would apply this tan only for 2 hours as I did not want to be too dark but wanted it looking natural in the photos. 

I used a mitt to apply which is always the best way.  With the helpful tips from Marissa herself I first applied the tan to my legs that have the most skin aka calf and thigh then used the remain product on the mitt to rub into my feet and knees.   I can surely say that this is definitely darker when applying than the first 1 hour tan.   

You will have no problem seeing where you have missed :)  and what more the beautiful floral cocoa brown scent is still there I love it :) 

After two hours I showered lightly rinsing off the tan and was left with more or less the same looking tan as I get from the 1st self tanner but the next day I noticed my tan deepened and looked so dark not too dark but alot darker than the 1st self tanner. 

 Still as I write this I can't believe how beautifully tanned I looked and alot more confident I felt.  

I feel like I have the exact same lovely tan I got last summer in our gorgeous weather we were blessed with :) 

Here is a before and after picture of the tan applied after just 2 hours

Hello beautiful tanned skin hehehe

Cocoa Brown Lovely Legs Instant Wash off Tan

Helllloooooo My beauties I Hope you are all well :) :) 

Today I have a new review for you :) :) 

I am excited about this review especially because to be honest I was quite stunned at the outcome of this tan :) :) 

Ok let me tell you a little about it first shall I 

When Marissa Carter Producted her first Tanning product The 1 Hour Tan She designed it for us pasty gals who do not get to see the sun often yet want a natural all over tan thats going to be easy to apply and last up to 5 days.  It became no 1 in Ireland in no time since that Marissa has added more and more different products to her range listening to all our pleas she has managed to to products exfoliaters, moisturisers, night to day tan aww the list goes on.  You think she is finished when boom in comes another new product 

Cocoa Browns Lovely Legs Instant Wash off Tan was released 2 weeks ago for spring and I know for a fact it too is going to become a hit 

Retailing at just €7.99 and is available everywhere now including Cloud10 you are getting 75ml of product.  The can is much smaller than the 1 hour Tan but ladies dont let the little can fool you.  You might think its a little smaller but boy oh boy this stuff will last you a good few goes believe me.  

Marissa listens to her customers and alot of women where looking for a tanning product that was going to cover up some very familiar problems us women suffer on our legs 

Veins (yes even I have noticed at my age some developing around my feet area) 

Stretch Marks (yes its possible especially around the thighs)

Lumps and Bumps 

Mild Scarring 

psoriasis (what I suffer when stressed and lately I have had a few break outs on my legs)

Lovely Legs is surely the product that will give you the extra coverage to cover most of the above.  

This tan is not a moose type tan like the rest but a spray tan :) 

Luckily the directions are on the back of this because in all honestly I would have sprayed directly to my skin a goodness knows what I would have looked like lol 

Marissa recommends: 

 Prepare skin for tan by exfoliating with Cocoa Brown TOUGH STUFF in the days leading up to your tan application and moisturising with CHOCOLATE WHIP Oil-Free Body Moisturiser.  (All of which I did do for my night out Saturday night ) 

Shake can for 20 seconds and then spray LOVELY LEGS onto a Cocoa Brown Tanning Mitt and then buff the product onto clean, dry skin. (Check)

LOVELY LEGS will wash-off with warm, soapy water.

As with all instant wash-off tans, colour may transfer onto light clothing. ( in which I totally forgot about the night I came home and yes I can verify it does transfer onto your nice clean WHITE bed sheets lol but I can also verify the tan comes of without staining in the wash not a mark on my white sheets :) 

LOVELY LEGS can be used by itself for a medium bronze glow or layered over Cocoa Brown 1 HOUR TAN, for a darker look. 

So do you want to see the before picture before I go any further 

I actually thought I legs were tanned as I was well proud of them as I got a lovely colour in the summer last year and it lasted this long but as soon as I put The Lovely Legs Instant Wash off Tan to my legs I was shocked.  My goodness me amazing!!!!! 

I did exactly what it said spray onto mitt and buff into the skin.  Go easy girlies because you will be shocked with just how little this product takes to do your legs.  

Within a few minutes both your legs are bronzed up and ready to go I couldnt believe my eyes when I looked in the mirror at my legs Hello Sexy Legs !!!!!!

Here is the before and after together just to show you the difference The picture is taken with flash (You can click on the photo for a closer look 

Totally amazing and takes little time and effort to achieve!!!!!

I do recommend you apply the 1 hour Tan The Darker shade or the Night and Day Tan to match up with the Lovely Legs :) :) 

What I notices about my legs on Saturday night as the light shown on my legs was a beautiful golden glow so I rubbed my finger on my leg and looked at my finger tip and bam it was like a highlight 

I just thought to myself at that moment Marissa you are a genious She was thinking healthy looking instant tanned legs that are going to stand out in photos when she made this product and thats exactly what you are going to get :) :)  I posted up a picture on saturday night to give you all a sneak peak of how my legs looked when I was out and I was sitting under a light can you see the golden glow :) 

10/10 of this again Cocoa Brown has yet another product your girlies just have to try out Honestly you will not turn back :) :) 

Amazing and So easy to take off in the shower.  Plus yes it is waterproof as I was splashed a few time with people pushing and shoving with their drinks in their hand Saturday night and not one splash mark was on my legs :) LOVE IT !!!!! THUMBS UP AGAIN MARISSA

Have you tried this yet ??? 

Let me know if you have and what you think of it :) :) 

Until Next Time Lot of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cocoa Brown Chocolate Whip Body Moisturiser

Hello My beauties I hope you are all well.  

Todays review is on the Cocoa Brown Chocolate Whip Body Moisturiser 

MMMMM Chocolate mmmmmm Oh sorry I went into a little trance there you see I am off Chocolate for lent and so far I am doing well and havent broke it but I Tell you something its getting harder as the days go by especially when I have kiddies around me eating it lol 

So I couldnt wait to get my hands on this moisturiser because at least in some way I can say I am getting my Choc fix lol 

Marissa Carter first released this beauty in November of last year I know I know Shame on me for not buying it sooner but to be honest I had so much body moisturisers to get through I just had to promise myself to wait.  I was delighted to finally get my hands on this to see for myself what all the raves was about :) 

As you all know I am a huge fan of Cocoa Brown Tan and never reach for anything else for instant tan that lasts for at least 5 days long.  Its not only natural looking but smells amazing and looks amazing.  Well Marissa decided to come up with a moisturiser to ensure your Cocoa Brown tan fades slowly and evenly.  How is it suppose to ensure that ?  Most body moisturisers these day have some sort of oil in them which makes your tan fade quickly where as the Cocoa Brown Chocolate Whip is oil free.  The fact that Cocoa Brown Tan is water based mixing a moisturiser that contains oil in it doesn't mix well with water based products.  

Marissa States:  The moisturiser is also highly nourishing to your skin and has benefits beyond that of maintaining the perfect Cocoa Brown Tan. Chocolate Whip contains panthenol, which is suitable for acne-prone skin as it moisturises while leaving pores clean and clear. Forming a barrier on the skin’s surface, panthenol helps to protect against everyday environmental damage.  It also contains Vitamin E which helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks, age spots and also strengthens the skins barrier function.

So now that you know the facts Over with let me show you the products and tell you my thoughts 

 As you can see the moisturiser looks exactly like chocolate mmmmmm.  Let me tell you now a little goes a long long way with this.  I wouldnt say this moisturiser is thick but it certainly is not thin one little squirt of this like the one in the photo would do the whole arm :)  Apon application this spreads out very evenly and soon the chocolate colour fades to white then clear.  I am amazed at how quick this absorbs into the skin and yet my skin feels so moisturised and fresh and cool.  

Oh my goodness the scent..... Wow oh wow is it beautiful.  You might actually think it smells like chocolate but it doesnt.  The smells is like the tan itself.  Cocoa Brown explains the scent as Tahitian Gardenia scent with an injection of Cocoa and thats exactly what it smells like .  You get this beautiful floral scent from the Tahitian Gardenia with a hint of cocoa its amazing.  The scent also lingers all day long and even on the clothing you wear after applying.  

Another great thing about this moisturiser is that you dont just have to apply it while you are wearing the Cocoa Brown Tan but also when you are not.  You can use it as an everyday moisturiser aswell.  I am super impressed with this I have to say.

Even today I ex-foliated shaved and showered and usually when I do this my legs which are super dry end up still flaky even after moisturising I tell you know not only are my legs super soft and smooth but they look super moisturised and flake free.  

I am in love for sure and will surely be repurchasing this when I run out :) :) I have also tried this over my tan and it works amazingly giving me the moisture and shine after 3 days of wearing the tan It actually made my skin look like the first day of tanning :) :) 

The Cocoa Brown Chocolate Whip Moisturiser can be purchase on line from Cloud10 for only €5.95 which is amazing value for 200mls.  You can also find this in Penneys and all Pharmacies Nationwide 

Have you tried this yet?  What are you Thoughts :) 

Until next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
