Review: Cocoa Brown Tan

Sooo a little while back we were contacted by the lovely people at Cocoa Brown Tan and asked if we would review their product for you guys and of course we said yes!

I will be honest: I was so nervous to use this! I had never ever used any tanning products before and I was so scared that I would turn out like a streaky orange. I researched like crazy before trying it and decided to do it on a week when I wasn't reeeally busy, in case I needed to hide away until it washed off...

But, my fears were completely unnecessary! I didn't look at all streaky and it was actually pretty fun to do! The product smells really floral and clean so it was a nice experience to be putting it on! It also comes out as a darkish brown foam colour which you can then blend into the skin. This means that you can see where you're putting it as you do it!

The product didn't feel sticky when it went on and smoothed really nicely. It also left my skin feeling refreshed and moisturised which was a really nice quality to have.

I am hoping to give the product another try in the future (and Ayah is going to give it a go as well, so you can have a well-rounded view from each of us!) and if I did I would definitely use a bit more. I think I may have been a little hesitant with the product because I didn't achieve a strong tan. I guess my advice would be to really give it a go and see what works best for you, I am mega pale so I think I should have been a bit more generous with it!

Having said that- a couple of people did comment that I was looking 'well' and, it made me feel a little bit fancy!

Most importantly: there were no negative affects with my sensitive skin! I tested it a couple of days before and then again the day before and nothing at all! It was safe for me! For anybody wanting a quality and safe tan (keep away from sunbeds guys) then this is a really nice product.

I'm not much of a tanner but I would definitely go with Cocoa Brown Tan again! I really want to test it out again and I'd definitely risk putting a little bit more on to see if I can get a stronger tan!

LONDON Part 2: PLACES TO EAT

To continue on with our London Series, today's post is all about places to eat in London! We've picked out a couple of our favourite places to visit for a quick snack, a gourmet dinner or a fancy treat for pudding! We've tried and tested them and love them all so you can trust us!!


Lunch/Snack:

1) You'll find this restaurant everywhere...and by that we mean literally every 2 blocks!
Pret A Manger is the place to go when you want a quick delicious lunch! They make really delicious sandwhiches of all kinds and have the best carrot and banana cakes! #healthyy

2) For a healthy lunch LEON is perfect for a natural, good fast food! They do little hot boxes like a chicken, lemon and olive tagine or a veggie quinoa salad. They also do a cute little fishfinger wrap which is sooo nice, from sustainable sources and healthy!

Dinner:

3) Burgers and Lobsters

This is the place to go when you want a more high end dinner. Their customer service is absolutely incredible, I have never laughed so much at a restaurant! And just to add to the fun, the only things they have in their menu are burgers and lobsters! There's pretty much always a que, so make sure you go a teeny bit early! Also, just a heads up, the place isn't cheap but WORTH every pound! 

4) Chipotle 

Chipotle, Chipotle, Chipotle... Best Burritos ever? YES DUHll! They make the best and one of the heaviest burritos! I personally couldn't finish it, it was literallyy huge! But SO GOOD! We'd deffo recommend! ( IF you do, please let us know how brill our recommendation was! Hehe) PS. If you're starving, this is the place to eat at!

Dessert: 

 5)For dessert, you have so many options, but we chose to include 

LOLA's cupcakes!  They have a variety of different cupcakes which are all so good! *But Please try the oreo one, it's sooo amazing! The place is always pretty much crowded because it's just that yummy! 

6) For a bit of a fancy treat, try Browns Bar and Brasserie in Covent Garden! It is sooo beautiful, and is a pretty high end place to visit. They do gorgeous afternoon tea for £12 per person, which is quite a good price for such an amazing place and lovely food! 

7) If you're not a cupcake person, then try SNOG! A frozen yogurt place (also a bus!) The thing we love most about it is how funkyy and creative the place looks! It's appearance is so attractivee riiight?!

We hope this gives you a good idea of where to plan to eat on your next trip to London! Or if you're like us, plan your trip around your food!

Blue Waves Inspired Lookbook

We LOVE artsy creative photos! Soo we decided to create this beautiful blue waves inspired look!

The makeup is inspired by beach waves and the colour they reflect especially in the summer! We wanted to go for something a little different from our street style lookbooks and it's so refreshing to change things up a little and be a little crazy sometimes!! 

As you can possibly see, it was a bit of a windy day so perfect for a moody nature-inspired fashion shoot! Sometimes you really have to take advantage of your surroundings as fashion bloggers!

For the hairstyle, we went with a messy, chic look; which we felt emphasized the style we were going for, taking inspiration from the tumbling waves of the ocean with some twists and backcombing. If you toned down the backcombing a tad this hair style could be a reeeally nice look for a classy night out! 

Necklace: Forever 21

Beauty Question of the day: 

Blue Eyeliner & Mascara- YAY or NAY?!
