Cocoa Brown 1 hour tan

MintyDoris · 10-12-2012 05:36PM #1

Just stumbled across this on Facebook. The idea of a 1 hour tan is music to my ears!

Has anyone used it yet?

slowmoe · 10-12-2012 07:05PM

I'll be using this tomorrow, will post back then!!!

MintyDoris · 11-12-2012 11:27AM

The excitement! :-D

slowmoe · 12-12-2012 02:04PM

I used it this morning, i'm pretty happy with it, def comes up in the hour, you leave it longer if you want to be darker. The smell is fab though, no fake tan smell just like an exotic garden. I'm very very pasty pale so haven't a chance to properly check out the colour but so far its def replacing xen for me. Not sure yet if it will replace my fav hamptons but will see. Very very pleased for 8 euro!!!

I'm going to get this this evening and give my review tomorrow. Reading good reviews about this so am excited to try it, no more fake tan sheets going to bed

MintyDoris · 12-12-2012 02:22PM

Thanks for coming back slowmoe. Sounds great. Can you let me know how it fades? I have ordered it online so I hopefully have it by the weekend

Annie, let us know how you get on too?

Are any shops stocking this?

MintyDoris · 12-12-2012 08:11PM

Loads. If you search on Facebook and find their page, it will give you a list of shops in the 'About' section

Got sidetracked going out for dinner this eve so never got to buy a bottle. On my "to do" list though as soon as though

slowmoe · 20-12-2012 02:26PM

How did everyone get on with this

MintyDoris · 20-12-2012 02:31PM

I've finally got a bottle of it and I'll do it tonight or tomorrow.

I'd really love to hear first hand how people find it

Valentina · 20-12-2012 10:05PM

I would also love to hear how people get on with this. So many times I forget to apply tan in advance of a night out so this would be perfect for me if it works well.

Cupcake_Crisis · 21-12-2012 02:30AM

I can't believe how cheap this is! Will have a scout around tomorrow for a bottle and report back!

ennis81 · 21-12-2012 04:17PM

My experience has been v good with Cocoa brown, lovely smell, v easy to apply and blend, and defo comes up in an hour, I did 3 hrs and mine is nice and dark, 3 days later its wearing v well, very happy with it for great price of €8, My other favorite tan is Boots own brand Soltan, but they have recently changed the ingredients of it and its horrible now, so I am ultra happy with cocoa brown, highly recommend:D

Cocoa brown tan is fab, highly recommend it. So handy and doesn't dry your skin out

Stench Blossoms · 29-12-2012 07:13PM

I got a bottle of this today. Gonna try it tomorrow if I get a chance.

RebelScorned · 30-12-2012 09:02PM

I hate fake tan, everything about it- the smell, waiting for it, the smell on my bedclothes, inevitably missing a part of my arm, the orange colour no matter how light a layer I put on and the tedious scrubbing in the shower for a week afterwards.

Cocoa Brown is AMAZING and trust me, I had zero expectations of this, I was putting it on thinking it was going to be terrible and it has completely swung me over.

It smells nice. It only took one hour to develop on my ghastly pale skin and is a really nice shade (not orange in the slightest). It faded nice and evenly over the course of a week. It's tinted so you can see where you are putting it.

I love this stuff, will definitely encourage me to tan more. For 8 quid a bottle, it is amazing.

Even if you hate fake tanning like I do, try this and i guarantee you will be impressed!

Stench Blossoms · 31-12-2012 03:37PM

So I just finished washing this off. Left it on for an hour and ten.

Not hugely impressed with it. The colour isn't dark at all really. In fact, I left a big patch on my back clear were I couldn't reach and its doesn't look obvious at all (meaning that the tan isn't dark).

I thought if you wanted it dark you leave it on for three hours? I don't think its supposed to be a super dark tan

But there doesn't seem to be a colour at all and I'm really pale so I should see something at least. The colour looked lovely before I washed it off.

I'll try it again for longer but kinda defeats the purpose of a 1 hour tan then.

I used this last night and I am impressed! I left it on for an hour and ten and it came up as a natural light tan. It's a perfect winter time colour, I am converted.
The one hour thing is great, minimal planning ahead for a night out and minimal waiting about and avoiding water time. Yup, thumbs up from me!

Where is this for sale? Had a look on the FB page but can't find the list of shops. Preferably somewhere in North Co. Dublin.

ennis81 · 03-01-2013 02:17PM

i bought in the pharmacy in Kinsealy

SmokeyEyes · 03-01-2013 02:24PM

Gonna have a comp for this girls in the next week or so on my blog so keep your eyes peeled!

MintyDoris · 03-01-2013 02:32PM

For the price you pay and the time you leave it on for, I think this is an amazing product.

My hands werent great but the skin on my hands is very very dry right now

The hour gave me a slight tint of colour that took away the milky blue paleness of my skin in winter and I havent noticed the fade at all

I thought when I started breadstfeeding that tan was out the window for a while but this is great. Would love to see what three hours developing does

Ah I was on the Carter Beauty page, d'oh :rolleyes:

Cupcake_Crisis · 03-01-2013 05:53PM

I found this in my local pharmacy in Kilnamanagh today, gonna give it a bash tomorrow! My skin is terrible to tan so fingers crossed!

Valentina · 03-01-2013 08:11PM

Got a bottle so will either do it tonight or tomorrow morn and will report back. Hope it works!

Nickibaby* · 04-01-2013 11:06AM

I tried this last night. It has a very pleasant smell not overpowering or biscuity at all. Went on very well it's well coloured so you can see where you are applying and it's easy to spot bits you miss. I left it on for close to 2 hours even though i'm very pale as I read reviews that it's light in colour. It was a lovely colour as it was developing but when washed off it was very very light. I will definately try again and leave on for the 3 hours to get more colour. I also have very sensitive skin and didn't have any itching etc that I get with most other fake tans.

Stench Blossoms · 07-01-2013 12:49PM

I tried this again and left it on for 2 hours this time. Darker colour came up.

I like this tan. It goes on easy and dries quickly but I don't think it could replace my Wow Brown or my spray tan for nights out.

It will replace my Dove or gradual tanners etc though which I'm quite happy about.
