While we've been basking in the sun's glorious rays and sweltering heat of late, the British sunshine doesn't always bestow upon us that enviable sun-kissed glow that has folks believing we've been frolicking along the Amalfi Coast. However, lounging under the sun, though it may seem a swift path to bronzed skin, can lead to sunburn, skin damage, and premature ageing with prolonged exposure - hardly the summer aesthetic we're striving for.
Thankfully, there's a safer route to achieving that radiant glow: a quality fake tan. Amidst a sea of available formulas, viral brand Coco and Eve's Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam stands out as a favourite, with one flying off the shelves every 20 seconds.
Even better, this exact formula - along with several other top-selling products from Coco and Eve - is part of Amazon's Prime Day sales, boasting up to 30% off. This means that instead of shelling out £34, shoppers will only need to part with £23.80 for the foam with the mitt, or£18.20 down from £26 without.

This lightweight, quick-drying tanning foam is a hit amongst shoppers and is crafted with raw virgin coconuts, botanicals, and amino acids to hydrate, blur pigmentation, and conceal blemishes. It's also imbued with the brand's Cellushape technology, brimming with potent natural antioxidants like fig, banana, papaya, and cocoa 'to improve signs of aging'.
Boasting a 4.4-star rating on Amazon from over 8,000 reviewers, it's been hailed as the 'best tanner on the market', delivering an 'outstanding' natural-looking tan in as little as six hours. Unlike some other formulas that can sometimes veer into Oompa Loompa orange territory, Coco and Eve's foam is formulated with a green-grey base to create a golden, sun-kissed finish, reports the Manchester Evening News.
With a tropical mango and guava scent, the brand also ditches the typical biscuit fragrance that often gives away the artificial nature of the tan. Available in three shades - medium, dark and ultra dark - there's a version to suit every skin tone.
The Honey Bronzing foam has received some impressive reviews online, with one satisfied customer sharing: "This is the best tan I've ever got. I've been told so many times it looks so flawless. This, plus the face mist (also now on sale), is the greatest combo yet. I won't go back to any other tan."
It has also been praised for delivering a streak-free tan - a feat many tans struggle to achieve. One person said: "I am a very pale skinned person who has been advised to not sit in the sun. So Coco and Eve is the perfect solution! Easy to apply, no streaking and no horrid smell. I recommend this to all who want a tan without the sun . Don't buy any other product."
Another customer raved: "Wow wow wow, I have used almost every tan and when you wash it of it completely goes! But with this tan it sticks like glue! It's amazing, I don't even need to apply cream to my dry parts! My new obsession."
However, not all reviews were positive. One dissatisfied user stated: "I have used tons of self-tanners, and for some reason, I find this one so blotchy."
For those uncertain, other options include the St.Tropez Self Tan Express Mousse, which is known for its week-long, natural-looking, streak-free, and flawless results, now available at Boots for £22.66, down from £34.
Another alternative is the Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam One Hour Express Ultra Dark, boasting an impressive 4.86-star rating on LookFantastic for its quick absorption, 'quick turnaround', and 'super bronzed' finish 'without being too orange toned for patchy'. It's currently on sale for £14.99, reduced from £19.99.
Not only is the brand's tanning foam featured in Amazon's sale, but also the Coco and Eve Honey Bronzing Face Drops have seen a price drop. Ordinarily retailing at £22, these coveted drops are now priced at just £15.40.
Boasting an infusion of five types of Hyaluronic Acid, not only do they endow users with a bronzed glow reminiscent of Ibiza's sun, but they also offer instant hydration and skin-plumping effects, minimising the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. Beyond hyaluronic acid, this innovative formula melds the skin-tightening benefits of Coconut Water with Banana's intense moisturisation capacity, aiming to hydrate and repair your skin.
Labelled as a 'game changer' by enthusiasts and earning praise from those seeking a healthy radiance without the hazards, a fan commented: "How did we ever survive without tanning drops?! With these I can have a tan all year round - I've been using these for months and would definitely recommend over other brands. Medium shade is perfect for my skin too, no orange patches or blotchiness."
Another spray tan devotee confessed a switch to favouring these drops paired with the foam, citing: "I started using this this year. I actually have a spray tan machine . But now prefer this, easy to use leaves shin soft long lasting wears off naturally. Great product."
However, the product didn't quite hit the mark for one customer who felt it aged their skin somewhat. They shared: "This is a well designed container with a good dispenser that works by pressing the bottom of the container to dispense 2 drops into your usual facial moisturiser. It's easy to apply as well but unfortunately it didn't seem to give me the "glow" that I was hoping for. This may be due to my age and skin type as it just gave my skin that overdone in the sun look which I found very ageing."
Coco and Eve's haircare range also features in the Amazon Prime Day discounts, including its viral Miracle Hair Elixir, now down to £20.30 from £29, and its shampoo and conditioner sets at £25.20.

The hair elixir has won over shoppers with its promise to restore 'virgin softness, shine, and gloss'. Packed with Virgin Coconut Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, and Balinese super hydrators like Mangosteen and Papaya, this 'elixir' is hailed as a blessing for controlling frizz, mending split ends, and boosting hydration.
Beauty enthusiasts have praised the product as 'amazing' for styling, with one individual saying: "Hadn't used it before but as my hair was so fuzzy I thought I would try it. Omg. It's so good. It has left my hair shiny andfeels like silk. I'm 52 so my hair felt quite dry from menopause. This stuff is like miracle serum. I know it costs a lot but a few drop of this goes a long way. Highly recommended no matter the hair type."
Another user shared their experience: "I have wavy frizzy hair and after using the oil it left my hair soft, shiny and very healthy looking. I used it on naturally air dried hair and flat ironed it. I was greatly surprised when I woke up the day after and it was looking exactly the same.
"I love this stuff," enthused another customer. "My hair is frizzy, dry fine and tangled all the time. This stuff works great to help with all of this. I've only been using it for a couple weeks and already there is huge difference. My hair dries faster, less frizz going on, doesn't feel like it's being ripped apart when brushed. Its great!".
However, not everyone has found their perfect match, as one reviewer noted: "Smells great but I cant say its amazing to my hair. Don't really notice any difference once it's in."
