Cocoa Brown

Along with the rest of the nation, we're BIG fans of Cocoa Brown around SHEmazing! way.

So understandably, we're over the moon to discover that there is a brand-new CB offering in the pipeline.

Landing on November 8 – just in time for the Christmas party season – the Goddess Collection (€17.95) comes in a cute, pink gift-box and includes the gorgeous Golden Goddess and Rose Gold Goddess shimmer oils. 

But – even more excitingly! – there is furthermore a never-seen-before Ice Goddess Oil. Described as a "luminising all over body oil," we reckon that the hue will be just about perfect for the winter season. 

And creator Marissa Carter has some top tips for making the most of Ice Goddess: "Use your favourite Goddess Oil a ‘primerligther’. Primelight by applying a layer of Goddess Oil to your face before your foundation to reflect the light and brighten dull skin.

"Ice Goddess Oil has violet undertones which particularly helps lift and brighten dull skin, notoriously more common in the winter months."

She adds that you can also mix it up, stating: "Add a few drops of your favourite Goddess Oil to your body moisturiser to create a subtle shimmer all over."

Hurrah! We can't wait to get our hands on the new set.

Khloe Kardashian just loves that dewy make-up look but as with all celebs, they use products that sometimes cost more than our rent.

However, Khloe's latest go-to product is none other that Golden Goddess by Cocoa Brown.

The reality star was covered head to toe in the shimmer and her make-up artist, Joyce Bonelli, shared the result on Snapchat.

Captioning the picture, "Holy sh*t Golden Goddes," it's easy to see why the Kardashians' BFF is raving about the tanning product because Khloe looks like she just stepped off a glistening yacht in Spain.

Coming in at €11.95 in Penneys, we're stocking up to last us a lifetime.

The start of August marked the start of autumn, and it's safe to say that many of us are losing our summer glow.

We say goodbye to short skirts, and t-shirts and hello to umbrellas and jumpers.

However, even when it's dark and dreary, one thing that I find super refreshing is having a nice golden glow.

This may come from my latest holiday to Spain (I wish) or from this new beauty that's hitting stores – Rose Gold Goddess.

Getting dolled up for a night out is half the fun, but when you're getting ready on your own and have to tan your back, it becomes a struggle. Ugh.

For years we have tried different hacks, including putting a tanning mit on a clothes hanger and trying to reach around.

But now, Cocoa Brown tan has created a new tanning mit which will come in fairly handy on your next night out.

The Self Tan Back Applicator will hit the shelves in June and will sell for only €7.99. It will be stocked pharmacies nationwide, Penneys and Cocoa Brown stockists in the next few weeks. Hurrah – just in time for summer!

Girls, we'll never have to strain ourselves again.

“Will it ever end?” We hear your cries as yet another contouring development is brought before us all.

The answer seems to be, for now anyway, a resounding no. Contouring is the way of the future, people have been saying this for a quite a while now so we might as well all just climb on board. Teen Vogue are the latest to praise the trend, and they only trust Cocoa Brown with their contour.

The next phase in the contouring cycle is: ‘tontouring’.

Developed by none other than Marissa Carter of Cocoa Brown, tontouring is “the opportunity to wake up looking naturally, perfectly contoured,” the beauty mogul explains to Teen Vogue.

Yes, Cocoa Brown is not just for us and a certain Kardashian-Jenner sister, Teen Vogue are huge fans too.

This approach to contouring uses make up brushes and different shades of tan (Marissa suggests the mousse formula to avoid clogged pores) to create “dimension.”

Using a foundation brush and tan to create a base glow, she then uses a darker shade and a contour brush under the cheek bones to make them appear higher and more defined.

According to Marissa the biggest perk of using fake tan as a contouring tool is that you only need to do it once a week, the tan lasts longer than your usual make up.

As the magazine points out though, if you are going to try the tontouring approach you should probably take some time and do it right for the first application:

“Self-tanner is not always the easiest formula to work with.”

Indeed, nobody enjoys having streaky fake tan anywhere, especially not on your face. We do love our Cocoa Brown though. We really want to trust that it would never let us down.
