Cocoa Brown new instant tan bronzing gels reviewed.





I was luckily invited by Cocoa Brown to their #PassionPersistencePink event in the Shelbourne hotel. It was an amazing day filled with amazing makeup demos, tantouring & girlie treats.

Everyone who attended received the two new Cocoa brown products. Unless you have been living under a rock or have neglected social media in the last few months you will know that Marissa Carter has added Two bronzing gels to her fabulous tanning collection. 

This is exactly where this brand needed to go to next! Marissa is such an inspirational level headed lady that anyone can't help but admire! After finally meeting this fab lady in person I love the Cocoa brown brand even more. I have always been a huge fan of the tan for no other reason than the beautiful reliable results but knowing that my money is going to such a strong Irish business woman who supports so many woman trying to come up in the business themselves makes it even more appealing as a brand for me.

So back to the products....

The two tans she launched are instant tans, which wash off in the shower. However, they are water resistant meaning if you do get caught in a bit of rain (100% going to happen in Ireland) you won’t go polka dotty yayyy!

Instant tan bronzing gel - Shimmer.
So I was soooo interested in trying this one out in particular because Cocoa brown has never had any tan before with a shimmer in it. I wanted to see what their signature bronze glow would look like with that extra sparkle. The first time I seen the actual gel was on snapchat with all you guys. I was blown away by the gel alone! It was such a beautiful bronze glitter. 

I couldn't wait to get it onto my skin. I love this tan but honestly have been picking up the matte one more, but I know I will absolutely love this tan in the summer for the bronze glow.

Instant tan bronzing gel- Matte

I had high expectation for the matte one starting out. I adore the colour of the 1hr Cocoa brown & was hoping that this instant one would live up to the expectations of the mousse. 
It definitely did, I honestly can't wear any other instant tan since it’s such a beautiful colour like the original and smells really similar to which is a pleasant smell. This tan is great if you need to tan last minute rather than letting it develop and washing of you just apply and your good to go. Prefect for last minute plans. It is worth every Penney’s and stands out compared to more expensive instant tans I have tried.

Deluxe Double-Sided pink velvet tanning mitt.

Seen as this was also in my goodie bag, I thought I might aswell tell you what I thought of it. Firstly, I had tried a velvet tanning mitt before but completely forget the brand. I loved it because it felt amazing on the skin, it didn't eat up product & it gave a flawless application. So when I seen this in my goodie bag I was delighted! 

I love this mitt, I have bought a second one since because it just makes your tan go on so seamlessly and feels so luxurious
