Hi ladies!
My next post is for the "Into the West Blogger Network"
The theme is "All Things Irish" so I have decided to write a post about 2 very successful Irish tanning companies "Cocoa Brown Tan" and "TanOrganics" and some of my favourite of the products that they provide.
I thought that giving the time of year, with party season fast approaching it would be great to review the perfect Irish tanning products to give those pins a "natural sun-kissed ", "just been on holiday look."
I want to start with "TanOrganics"
The Kildare native Noelle O'Connor is the driven business woman and entrepreneur behind the brand. She pitched her self-tanning product to the dragons of "Dragons Den" back in the depths of the recession in 2010 looking for a €50,000 investment for the brand that's now worth millions. Not only are the products available in this brand, amazing for being Irish and for the story of how it all started, but because they are lovely products to use that really do work and give a lovely bronzed tan moisturised glow to our naturally pale Irish skin tones.
They have won numerous awards ie: "RSVP Beauty Award 2013" & "Social and Personal Best Buys". "Tan Organics Original" self tanning product doesn't leave that horrible curry smell and it doesn't fade away in patches that leave you looking like a sick Dalmatian which wins it for me alone. I have read mixed reviews about this product but I have to say I love it! The only downside is that it doesn't last as long as I would have liked.
It has ultra moisturising ingredients, hydrates the skin, gives a radiant glow, 100% natural organic and paraben free.
Rate 4/5
Price: €19.99
A sister product to this is the fabulous "Oil Arganic" which is intended to be a preparation for the tan but it is great as an everyday body moisturiser even when you're not tanning. I love this dry body oil spray especially because of how it absorbs so easily into the skin. You can dress straight after application and you won't feel a residue left on your skin like other oils. Gives a lovely radiant glow to your skin and instantly hydrates. It contains 8 different plant oils. Can be used on skin and even hair! Improves stretch marks also.
Rate: 5/5
Price: €24.99
Cocoa Brown Tan is another very successful Irish self-tan company. It was also set up by an Irish female entrepreneur. Marissa Carter who is a Blackrock native and owner of the already very successful Carter Beauty Salon, Beauty Editor of Irish Parent Magazine and Beauty Expert on TV3's Xpose, is the lady behind the brand. She developed "Cocoa Brown Tan" to meet her customers lifestyle needs which were to have a naturally bronzed looking tan. The products available are 1 hour tan , Night and Day Mousse and Tough Stuff Body Scrub. The 1 hour tan is an amazing instant tan product that you leave on for between 1-3 hours depending on how dark you would like it. Then you shower and within another 2-3 hours you have your gorgeous sunkissed tan. It claims it doesn't have a "biscuit smell" but don't expect to have a completely odourless tan, as in my opinion all tans have some sort of smell.
Rate: 4/5
Price: €7.99
The Night and Day mousse is my favourite of the 2 as it gives a darker tan. It's really easy to apply as it goes on dark. Doesn't take long to develop and lasts a few days too. It says it lasts 5 days but I'd say maybe 3-4. Its a great tan for that Christmas party if you want a flawless and dark tan.
Rate: 5/5
Price: €7.99
