Cocoa Brown The Goddess Collection In-Store Launch

I went along to the Cocoa Brown launch for The Goddess Collection on Tuesday. Last week tickets for the launch went online for free and included a goodie bag. It took place over in Dundrum in Penney's and I went over with my Mam and 3 sisters. I also got to meet the lovely Marissa Carter who is as lovely as she seem on her snapchat and the other ladies from Cocoa Brown who are all so friendly too. It was a really nice atmosphere and I even got a picture with Marissa. 

I had never used any of the goddess oils before even though I keep meaning to try one out, so off course I had to get the collection and give them all a go. I can see myself getting a bit addicted to these and walking around like a human disco ball but at least I'll be happy.

In Goddess collection was €13 for 3 30ml bottles, one of each of the shades which are Golden Goddess, Ice Goddess (the newest) and Rose Gold Goddess. I can imagine these being very handy for the christmas season and the even have that gorgeous smell as the other cocoa brown products.

When I registered for my ticket it said I'd get a goodie bag and oh my god was it and amazing goodie bag! In the goodie bag it contained Chocolate Whip Oil-Free body moisturiser 200ml, Kind Shampoo and Conditioner 200ml, Night and Day Tan 150ml can, tough stuff 75ml and last but not least 5oml tube of Bronzing Gel instant tan in matte. How amazing is this goodie bag I've used and loved some of these already but have yet to try the night and day tan and the bronzing gel so now I have no excuse and since my summer tan has completely disappeared now I can see them being tried out pretty soon. 

What I love most about all these are that I suffer from eczema and I can use them with out a problem. The Cocoa Brown tan was the first tan that I successfully used and didn't make my skin irritated or make the eczema stand out more. I recently started using the shampoo and conditioner when my hands started to break out again from the changing weather and it doesn't irritate them or sting at all which is fantastic most of the others I've used over the years usually have no fragrance and my hair doesn't last all that long between washes so I've already fallen in love with it and they are all pretty good price wise too and everywhere. If they were to bring out a shower gel I'd be over the moon!

Best Moisturiser for dry skin.

I have been suffering with eczema my whole life. Some times its can be mild, others it can be severe. I was told over and over that I would grow out of it but unfortunately I didn't. I have learnt to adjust to it but it will always cause problems no matter what I do. I have to be very careful what products I use and eating certain foods can all cause it to flare up. The best thing I can do is to make sure my skin is well moisturised and that I don't use products like washing powder, soaps or perfumes that will affect it. 

The best product I can recommend is Silcocks Base.

This stuff is amazing it can be used as a moisturiser or as a soap substitute by applying it to the skin and then gently washing it of. I use it everyday and recommend buying the 500g tube which is usually between €4 and €5 depending where it's bought. I even use it to take off make up by applying it to my face and gently rub it in then remove with a wet face cloth. It's also great to use intead of a shaveing gel or foam. I literally use it all the the time to wash my face, as soap to wash my hands, in the shower instead of shower gel and of course as a daily moisturiser. The list goes on. I even have others in the house using it. My mam told me she used to put a spoonful of it in the bath when I was a baby. It keeps my skin soft without it feeling heavy or greasy and although it may not seem like it but it does clean my skin very well. It also come in a smaller tube that you can take with you instead of lugging around a huge tub.

So if you suffer from eczema, dermatitis, dry/sensitive skin or are just looking for a good moisturiser then this will definitely be for you.

You can buy it in most chemists and can get it online from Mccabes pharmacy Here
