Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze

A while back, I shared with you a sneaky peek of the new Cocoa Brown products. Since then I attended the official launch of the three new products and today I am sharing my thoughts on the new Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze.

Gentle Bronze is a gradual self tan that moisturises your skin and allows you to build up your colour from a light tan to a nice bronze colour.

Now, I will put my hands up and admit I have never ever been a fan of gradual tans. I love the idea of them and have tried low end and high end ones.I always found they had the typical fake tan smell and found them very streaky.With this experience, I have to admit I was a little dubious when I heard Cocoa Brown were launching one. I really wanted to like it as I'm a huge fan of the brand and Marissa.

On opening the tube, I was faced with a milky brown lotion, a lot paler than the 1 hour tan and a different consistency but I expected that. 

I applied Gentle Bronze in minutes and wasn't left waiting ages for it to dry. I applied it before bed and woke up with a very light glow. I like a darkish tan but I liked the effect. That evening I applied another layer and left it over night. The result was a lovely bronze colour. No orange in sight but then I knew that wouldn't be an issue.

Here's a colour guide going from no tan to after two applications. 

I really like Gentle Bronze. I think it's a great introduction to anyone who is a little afraid of the idea of fake tan and it is also great for just before you head on holidays to build up a little colour. Myself and the hubby are planning a June holiday and without a doubt, Gentle Bronze will be getting used before I go away and getting packed in my luggage.
