Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan

Thank you to Cocoa Brown for sending me the 1 Hour Tan to try ..

Anyone who has read my previous blogs will know I suffer from dry skin and get psoriasis and eczema break outs. Trying to use fake tan with these conditions can be an absolute nightmare, fake tans tend to stick to the dry patches which just makes them stand out even more and then I end up with white patches where the tan does not stick to the areas of eczema/psoriaisis.

I was so excited to try Cocoa brown because the founder of this company 'Marissa Carter' also suffers from these skin conditions and has kept that in mind with the ingredients in these products (Vegetable derived DHA and no parabens).

My skin has been clearing up due to a new eating plan I have been following (Blog on this coming soon) but my hands and wrists had a slight break out over the weekend. I wanted to try the tan when my skin was slightly inflamed so I could see how it reacted to it and so I could test it to let others know.

Before I applied the tan I had exfoliated and been moisturising using pure cocoa butter to get rid of any dry patches. This needs to be completely washed off before applying tan but to be honest I kept some on my hands and elbows as they were dryer than the rest of my body.

The tan is a mouse and is slightly coloured so you can see where you are applying it. I used the #cocoabrown tan mit to apply the mouse all over my body, applying it to my hands last with the tan that was already on the mit.

The tan smells so fresh compared to most tans by the way and dried in like 2 seconds after I applied , weh heyyyy!!

It was then just time to wait on the tan developing, I can't lie, I was terrified inside as my skin and fake tan don't get along too well.

So for a normal glowing tan you leave on for 1 Hour, for a medium tan 2 Hours and for a darker tan 3 Hours. I had mine on for about 2 hours which gave me a lovely colour.

Results

* It did not stick to the rash on my wrists the way other fake tans have. It still coloured the areas and did not clog them up and make them more noticible, this is my biggest pet hate with most tans so I was really happy with this.

* The tan faded really well, it didn't go patchy and my eczema patches faded normal instead of fading before the rest of my body and being covered in white patches. RESULT =D

* The colour was not orangey at all , a nice golden colour

* I did smell a little bit of the fake tan smell the next day but it was definitely not as strong as other fake tans I have used

* It didn't irritate my sensitive skin =)

* It didn't cover red patches but certainly did not stick to them or make them worse

I will definitely be using this tan again and cannot wait to try out the other products by Cocoa Brown.

I would reccommend people who suffer from dry skin, eczema and psoriasis to try this tan if you are having the same problems I have with fake tans, try a patch test to see how your skin reacts to it before using it all over your body.

I would also recommend this product to everyone! If it works so well on dry skin I imagine it works beautifully on good skin.

You can buy the 1 Hour Tan Mouse HERE and its ONLY £7.99!!!

Happy Tanning !!

Absolutely Fabu-lash

I had been looking to get into network marketing for a while. I was searching online and going to different presentations but just could not find any products that I truly believed in. As an honest person, I felt if I was going to start selling products it had to be a product I genuinely loved.

I was approached a few times about selling weight loss products but that just really isn't my thing so I kept looking and eventually, I came across Younique.

It was through social media I found Younique and I started to look into it. It was all make up and beauty products which definitely interests me so I thought,  I need to try this.  I signed up straight away and waited patiently for my starter kit  to try the products.

When my starter kit arrived I knew the first product I was going to try was of course the '3D Fiber Lash Mascara. There had been such a buzz about this everywhere and I was so excited to try it to see if it actually worked. I knew that if I was going to be able to sell this product and believe in it, I had to love it myself. 

The mascara comes in this pretty little box, so cute. You get two tubes, one tube is the transplanting gel and the other tube is the fibers.  There are instructions that come in the box with the following steps:

Step 1: Apply one coat of your normal mascara
Step 2: Apply the transplanting gel
Step 3: Apply the fibers
Step 4: Apply the transplanting gel again

This was so quick and easy. Both the gel and the fibers are on a brush just like a normal mascara and you just apply it like normal mascara. The fibers add length and thickness to your lashes instantly. I applied one coat and my lashes looked long and whispy but I wanted to see what another coat would do, so I followed the process again and it made them even longer and thicker.

This a photo of one my eyes with the Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara. This is a few coats of the mascara. You can build it up as much as you want, it really depends on you and how bold you want your eyes to look. This mascara can be for every day use, wearing just one coat to give your lashes extra length and thickness and it can also be used for evening and glamorous make up. The mascara is £23 which is quite expensive for a mascara but it is definitely worth the cost!

I instantly loved this product and knew I would be able to sell it and recommend it to others, so I started posting about it through facebook. I uploaded my #selfies wearing the mascara and everyone loved it. 

Younique is a company I think I am really going to enjoy working with, it is early days but I love it already. As well as getting commission for each item I sell, I also get free make up. What more can you ask for? Everything is done through social media which is also amazing! .. Oh and its a good excuse to take #selfies all the time :P

I have tried a few of the products and so far loved every one. I am excited to try more of the products, especially the foundation as it is NASTIES FREE which should be good for my sensitive skin (will let you know how I get on) ..

If you would like to purchase the 3D Fiber Lash Mascara you can do this here at my Online Party!

If you would rather sign up and sell the products please email kerrioraw@gmail.com and I will provide you with more information and online training!

Or if you would like to host an online party to earn yourself some free make up without signing up, send me an email and we can get that arranged.

If you have any make up or beauty products you think I would be interested in trying, please do not hesitate to contact me on: kerrioraw@gmail.com
