IMAGE's own Emily O'Neill shares her favourite glow-giving gifts this season for the beauty lover in your life.

It is no secret that we Irish gals love to be bronzed and glowing all year round, and when it comes to a long-lasting tan we can trust, Cocoa Brown is adored nationwide. Their iconic one-hour self-tan mousse has been a staple in my beauty routine for the past 10 years.

This year their Christmas gifting selection is bigger and better than ever, with six stunning sets included. Ranging from €9.99 to €27.99, there is something available for every tan lover, whether you’re after a subtle, natural-looking glow or a deeper bronzed tone for the party season ahead.

Sleigh of Sunshine

The Sleigh of Sunshine Set is the ultimate set for any skincare lovers out there who love a flawless natural-looking tan. This gorgeous set features Cocoa Brown’s newest tan, Sunshine Serum Hyaluronic Body Serum in the shade medium, which is packed full of skin-loving ingredients. Also included is their iconic Velvet Tanning Mitt and the Sunshine Serum Hyaluronic Face Serum. Worth €32.99, available for €24.99

Bronzing Hour

Next up, we have the Bronzing Hour Set which is the perfect gift to achieve a luminous, bronzed glow in no time. Included in the set is Cocoa Brown’s cult-favorite One Hour Tan Mousse in shade dark along with their best-selling Fresh Start Self-Tan Eraser and Velvet Self-Tan Mitt. This set will ensure you have a flawless tan throughout the winter months. Worth €25.99, available for €19.99.

In Glow Time

Get ready ‘In Glow Time’ with Cocoa Brown’s instant tanning set. Perfect for quick touch-ups and on-the-go tanning, this set includes the new Instant Bronze Wash Off Self-Tan in shade extra dark, a Velvet Self-Tan Mitt and a luxurious Bronzing Powder to keep skin glowing from day to night. Worth €27.99, available for €19.99.

Cracker of a Tan

Want to have a ‘Cracker of a Tan’ this sparkle season? Well, this fun and festive stocking filler contains the award-winning One Hour Tan and a Velvet Self-Tan Mitt. It also makes the perfect Secret Santa gift! You won’t find a more iconic duo this Christmas. Worth €15, available for €9.99.

Radiance Ready

And last but certainly not least is my personal favourite of the sets. The Radiance Ready Sets, a star gift exclusive to Boots this year, will have you bronzed and glowing from top to toe. This incredible gift set contains six full-size Cocoa Brown products including the One Hour Tan, Velvet Mitt, Sunshine Serum Hyaluronic Body Serum, Tough Stuff Body Scrub, Bronzer Powder and the gorgeous Double Ended Brush.
