When it comes to fake tan, Ireland as a nation definitely has a reputation for loving the stuff. 

Whether it's a full body bronze spray tan for a night out, or a quick splash on tanning water for a golden complexion, rarely are Irish women without a faux glow. 

In a recent study conducted by Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter, it revealed that a staggering 95 percent of women wear fake tan throughout the winter months.

Most Irish women like to tan from head to toe, with 71.3 percent saying an all over glow is key.

However, we have all been in that rushed situation where you want to add a tan but simply don't have the time to do the full body. 

25 percent of women admitted to only tanning their arms and legs, while 5.7 percent of women just tan their ankles.

As for when Irish women like to tan – one day of the week reigned supreme. 

A whopping half of all people surveyed said that Thursday is their traditional tanning day. 

It makes perfect sense – tan on Thursday night, shower it off on Friday to reveal a gorgeous glow just in time for the weekend.

You asked, they delivered. Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter's bestselling Instant Tan Bronzing Gel in Matte is back by popular demand AND IT'S VEGAN. 

The new and improved formulation delivers an immediate flawless, radiant, glowing golden tan. It's the ideal product for tanning on a deadline as it dries immediately meaning no transfer – just glow and go.  

Forget cakey tan, the Instant Tan Bronzing Gel will give you the glow you deserve whilst still being sheer enough to look like the real deal. Add to that the fact that the Instant Tan Bronzing Gel is water-based and oil-free, meaning no blocked pores, and you’re on to a winner.  

Speaking about the Instant Tan Bronzing Gel, Cocoa Brown Founder and CEO Marissa Carter says, “Never in five years has a product been more requested by our customers than our Instant Tan Bronzing Gel.

"When we discontinued the Gel I honestly thought no one would notice and that it would go gently into the night. How wrong was I? Fast forward three months and we’re back, better than ever. Panic over ladies.”

Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter Vegan Instant Tan Bronzing Gel Matte, €7.95, is available from Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter stockists nationwide.

“Beauty has always been my passion,' says Marissa. 

"Before Cocoa Brown I owned my own salon, Carter Beauty and the satisfaction I got from seeing a woman watching herself transform was second to none."

"Carter Beauty is almost an ode to that. It’s really important to us that our customers get value for their money without skimping on quality.”

The tan Gods are shining down on us in the form of Cocoa Brown's Man Mitt.

Are you tired of trying to reach your back or the back of your legs? 

Problem solved – your boyfriend can now do it thanks to this genius invention.

 

A post shared by Cocoa Brown Tan (@cocoabrowntan) on

The miracle workers at Cocoa Brown have launched Marissa Carter's ‘Man Mitt.’

The Velvet Tanning Thumb Mitt is also perfect for the man in your life.

But let's get real, you know it's all about us, after all we are queens.

Larger in size, gone are the days of his hand getting crushed into a smaller glove.

No longer has he the excuse to moan about rubbing that magic brown tan into those hard to reach places.

This gorgeous black tan mitt is made with luxury velvet to give him the perfect application – whether he is applying it to your body or his own.

Wave bye-bye to oompa-loompa orange hands as the inner waterproof foam-lining keeps them protected from any staining. 

The Mitt will give you both a flawless finish with even, streak-free results. 

They really do think of everything, as it features a thumb for better grip and comfort when applying the tan. 

 

A post shared by Cocoa Brown Tan (@cocoabrowntan) on

For envious results, wear the mitt, apply a coin-sized amount of tan to its surface and buff onto clean dry skin.

Don't forget to hand wash the mitt between tanning sessions – hygiene people!

You can thank us and Cocoa Brown when you finally don't have to stretch to reach those annoying spots.

And, your boyfriend can too when he's roped in to your tanning rituals and he develops his own!

Happy tanning.

Cocoa Brown have taken to social media to clear up some queries regarding their cruelty-free stance.

The iconic Irish tanning brand had to defend their animal by-product free production after amn unnamed blogger alleged that Cocoa Brown was not cruelty-free as it includes urea. 

Responding to the claim, CB said:

'Urea, which is an ingredient that is found in Cocoa Brown Fresh Start can be manufactured synthetically or from animals.'

'We use the synthetic version.'

Ladies, one of Ireland's biggest names in beauty has just announced that a makeup line is her next venture. 

Taking to Instagram, Cocoa Brown Tan guru Marissa Carter told her followers that she will be releasing a full line of makeup in the next three months. 

Sorry, but can you only imagine the bronzey goodness coming our way? 

 

A post shared by marissacarter (@marissacarter) on

'So today was the first day that I showed my new brand to a buyer,' Marissa told her followers.

'I know a lot of you may have guessed already what the products are so I may as well just come clean,' she continued, detailing how delighted the buyer was with the range.

'So I'm going to be launching… a make-up range! An entire collection – everything from foundations, to concealers, to mascaras, to eyeliners, blushers, highlighters, bronzers, lipsticks, lip-glosses…'

 

A post shared by marissacarter (@marissacarter) on

With the astronomical success of Marissa's tanning brand, there's no doubt that the makeup line will see the same triumph.

So far there's no news on the price point of the range, or what exactly we can expect style-wise from the brand, but by the sounds of things it's going to be a wide variety of products. 

We can officially be Cocoa Brown from head to toe now.

Here at SHEmazing HQ, there's nothing we love more than a good Irish success story.

Whether it's food, fashion, or beauty, our home grown products are up there with the best of them, and one woman who knows this all to well is entrepreneur extraordinaire, Marissa Carter.

Marissa's cult tanning brand, Cocoa Brown, is a favourite among beauty lovers at home and abroad and now it looks the beloved Irish brand is headed for Russia.

Following on from a successful Canadian launch, this is the first of three new markets the award-winning tan will launch in before Christmas.

Marissa took to Instagram today to share the news: “Never ever let anyone tell you to slow down. You grow or you die in business and sometimes ambition makes others feel uncomfortable,” she wrote.

“Those who love you want you to be realistic so you’re not disappointed when you fail. Those who don’t like you want you to stop moving so fast so they can catch up. Don’t listen to any voice but your own when you’re setting your goals.”

Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter will now be available in 21 countries and over 15,000 stores worldwide.

We really are taking over, aren't we?

Having quickly become a staple in beauty bags across the nation, it’s no surprise that Cocoa Brown’s product range is continuing to expand.

Following the launch of The Goddess Collection in Dundrum TC this week, the Dublin based tanning company has announced that it is spreading its roots across the Atlantic by opening its first New York office.

In a post which appeared on Instagram yesterday, brand founder Marissa Carter wrote: “By the end of next week we’ll have our US company incorporated!  The #CocoaBrown #NewYork office will open January 2017.”

Speaking about the venture to Goss.ie, the beauty entrepreneur explained that a Manhattan base for Cocoa Brown “makes sense” because “New York is the hotspot for global PR and marketing activities”.

We wish Cocoa Brown furthered success in the US.
