We tried almost everything from Coco and Eve and these products were our favourites

Rating: 8/10

Launched around this time last year, the shampoo and conditioner caused quite the stir with Coco and Eve fans – there was even a waitlist for the products. Luckily, the hype has died down and there’s no rush to the checkout, but that isn’t to say it’s lost its popularity.

Regularly retailing at over £45, this isn’t exactly a budget-friendly hair wash routine. But, when considering a little shampoo goes a long way, and accounting for the weekly use of a hair masque instead of conditioner, you’d be surprised at how long these will last you.

Sulfate, paraben and silicone-free, it’s gentle enough to use on coloured hair, yet did give a deep clean feeling that we all want from a shampoo thanks to pineapple enzymes dissolving dry skin and excess oil. Hyaluronic acid, coconut, avocado and a blend of extra oils such as argan and almond nourished our hair and gave it the lightweight, shiny finish we love. Our favourite part was the long-lasting smell, but we just wish the packaging – although being recyclable – was plastic-free.

Of course, we’ve already raved about the super nourishing coconut and fig hair masque, with our tester sharing that “after one use, strands are noticeably in better condition, looking frizz-free and nourished”. But it looks like there is another mask ready to battle it out for the top spot.

A lot is packed into the pot. There’s biomimetic ceramides which reinforce and smoothe the hair fibres, a vegan keratin complex which aids strength and elasticity, and hyaluronic acid to provide hydration. Of course there’s also a whole host of Bali botanicals such as banana, avocado, guava and coconut which nourish the skin and hair with vitamins and minerals.

We loved how easy it was to use – smother on damp or towel-dried hair and leave for 10 minutes and rinse – the smell and how bouncy and soft it left our curls without the frizz. Use twice a week for best results.

On days when we didn’t use the hair mask, or those in-between wash days when it was looking a bit lack-lustre, this leave-in conditioner was quite the saviour. It quickly detangled our strands, gave it back that soft, silky feeling and, you guessed it, smelt great.

We found it worked best on the dry ends of our hair, and two to three pumps rubbed in the palm of your hand and smoothed through really is enough to make a difference. Three main ingredients – coconut, avocado oil, and rice protein – nourish, strengthen and repair strands while moringa seeds protect against UV rays and environmental pollutants. Just be sure not to lose the protective plastic cap as this stops it from pumping out accidentally in the bottom of your bag when travelling – we learnt this the hard way. And, for a lighter-weight treatment for the mid-section, the miracle hair elixir was equally as impressive (£28.90, Cocoandeve.com).

Exfoliating is a key step in maintaining healthy skin and becomes even more important for those who fake tan, shave, wax or epilate, in order to reduce ingrown hairs, shed old skin cells and keep an even looking glow year-round.

But, more often than not, we find products that are too gentle, too foamy or ones that instantly melt away when in contact with the skin. While this is all well and good for a light rub, sometimes we need something a bit more coarse to really get the job done, and this buffing sugar is it. Coconut oil helps soften and nourish the skin while volcanic pumice, coconut flower sugar and shell powder exfoliate and rid the skin of dead cells with no scratchiness or irritation.

The texture, creaminess and actual result of this product made our tester fall in love with it. The smell, however, was a bit too overpowering in a similar way to the smoothie shower gel (£17.90, Cocoandeve.com). We tested everything in scent lychee and dragonfruit, which gave a serious throwback vibe to a product or sweet we still haven’t been able to place, but there is another scent, tropical mango available too.

If you do love sweet-smelling things, then you will probably love this. Virgin coconut oil and cacao oil nourish and hydrate, fig extract provides a whole host of vitamins and anti-oxidants help to reduce signs of ageing and coffee seed extract is said to energise and tone the skin. After just one use our skin felt and looked plumper and softer and it absorbs incredibly quickly with no sticky or greasy residue.

Included is this impressive set is the brand’s Bali bronzing foam, deluxe vegan kabuki brush, hypoallergenic soft velvet mitt and back tan applicator. And, while we actually really liked all of these products, the back tan applicator (£14.90, Cocoandeve.com) was quite the gamechanger, ridding our tester of the patchy back tan and banishing the need for uncomfortable bending, twisting and turning.

The tan itself is said to reduce cellulite, which is quite a controversial claim with strong arguments both for and against the ability of products to do this. But, on the whole, any fake tan does seem to mask some of the visibility of stretch marks, blurring the skin, and our tester can certainly say this one did the same.

Our skin felt soft and hydrated post-tan with a long-lasting glow that looked great and faded evenly. We actually used the brush across the face, feet and hands and would recommend this method of application on those areas specifically to reduce patchiness or missed patches too.
