I'm a self confessed tanophobe. Seriously, fake tan puts the fear of God into me. I'm whiter than white and any past forays into fake tan have left me in orange streaky messes or a delightful shade of jaundiced yellow.
The Oopma Loompa look is not one that I'm particularly keen on recreating, I'm far more at home with the likes of Illamasqua's Skin Base in 001 White. However, I've been seeing and hearing nothing but praise for Cocoa Brown's 1 Hour Tan by Marissa Carter. The whole of blog land seems to love it and there's one rave review after another for it and I came across them at the Irish Beauty Show in the RDS a few weeks back, so of course I had to try it...
