**WIN** Cocoa Brown Tan - My Party Season Must Have

It's officially party season girls and I'm going to tell you why Cocoa Brown should be on your shopping list when you dash out the door to buy a new dress for that all important Christmas work party or girls night out. 

I have three simple reasons why you should include Cocoa Brown on your must have's list. 

Affordability - From the first moment CB came on the scene I was surprised and delighted at just how affordable the tanning range was. With prices ranging from €2.99 to €7.99 it's very easy to understand why this has become the fastest selling tan in Ireland.

Quality - I would not be one for regular tanning but when an event does arise I always reach for Cocoa Brown. I love Tough Stuff and Chocolate Whip for preparing my skin prior to applying the 1 Hour Tan. You can see instantly where you have applied the tan and washing off the excess tan after your desired time leaves little room for error. I also love the colour and scent.

Improved Confidence - I don't wear tan to give off the impression that I've been sunning myself in the Bahamas. I wear tan because like most of the female population in Ireland I have pale skin and Pale skin does not go too well with that perfect little black dress (unless you're Nicole Kidman...damn you!). Wearing tan gives me the confidence to get dolled up and enjoy my night out. If I can do that with a product at a fraction of the price of other tanning products and get results that I'm happy with then you can bet your bottom dollar that this brand will be in my life for a very long time! 

 Cocoa Brown also have a range of Tanning sets on the market that would make perfect gifts for friends and family. There's the Be Bronzed & Beautiful gift set for €9.95. The set contains Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan that Delivers a radiant, bronzed glow in just 1 HOUR. Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff Body Scrub 50ml which Exfoliates your skin in preparation for the tan, plus it also removes your tan when you’re done! And lastly the Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze Gradual Tanner.

Also available this Christmas season is the Luxury Gift Set for €19.99 and currently on special offer on Feelunique.com for €12.80 or in Tesco for €13.33 until the 24th of December. This set includes the 1 Hour tan, Tough Stuff Scrub, Chocolate whip moisturiser and a pink tanning mitt. 

My favourite set is the Ultimate Travel Set. It costs just €10 in Penneys and is perfect for travelling obviously but it's also handy if you're getting ready for a night out at your friends and don't want to be arriving with a heap of products. It contains a cute 100ml 1 Hour tan, 75ml Chocolate Whip body moisturiser and 75ml Tough Stuff body scrub. 

Win yourself an Ultimate Travel Set and a 200ml of Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze by heading on over to my Facebook page.

The Body Shop Christmas Gift Guide & Giveaway *International*

I must tip my hat to The Body Shop this year. They have managed to successfully capture the essence of Christmas fun within their Christmas range. They have gift sets and stocking fillers for the whole family which all fall into an affordable category. Affordability is of major importance for me at Christmas. I would rather get my loved ones a few little gifts than spend a fortune on one expensive item. The Body Shop has made this possible while delivering (as always) great quality products with luxurious packaging that make them almost impossible to walk by without oohing and aahing! 

Perfect gifts sets for this Christmas include the White Musk Classic Moisture & Spritz Deluxe Gift for €39.95. Their iconic white musk fragrance is a soft and sensual blend of musk, lily, ylang ylang, vanilla and amber notes. Also this year they have their lovable Snowman Shea Scrub and Soften gift set for €11.95. It's cute, festive and contains two wonderful products that will have your skin feeling fresh and soft.

The Body Shop also have the perfect little stocking fillers if you're looking for something fun and festive. You can get the Reindeer wash ball for €5.95 and the Very Merry Mirror for €8.50. They also have the cutest snowman and gingerbread wash ball which are just so cute I want to have them all for myself!

Another cool thing about The Body Shop Christmas Collection this year is that a whopping £200,000 of their gift sales is going towards Community Fair Trade areas to build and amazing five new schools around the world. There's no better gift than the gift of education and in turn creating a brighter, happier future. To spread the word about this amazing School project The Body Shop have released the The Joyful Gingerbread School House which costs €29.95. Inside you will find Cranberry Shower gel, Gingerbread Shower gel, Cranberry Body butter, Gingerbread body butter and a mini crinkle lily body puff.
