Hi, Hoola


Well, this one has been talked about for years and years now but I just have to mention it and join the hype, it's one of my favourite makeup products, ever. I was thinking whether to get it or not for the longest time before taking my wallet out, the price tag is quite scary to be honest (£23.50). However, the product lasts forever, I must've had mine for about half a year now and it still looks as if I've barely used anything. Benefit Hoola is one of the brand's boxed powder products, which means it comes in a cool cardboard box with a mirror and a brush. I don't really like the brush though, I think it's useless, I much prefer to use my Real Techniques brushes. Then again, they need to fill the box with something, don't they. Anyway, Hoola is a matte kind of bronzer, which is quite hard to find, most of them are shimmery. It doesn't come out orangey or too dark once applied like loads of other bronzers do and it suits my pale skin so well. I think it would suit all skintones though as its buildable so it's up to you how strong you want the contour to be (yeah, as it's matte it's perfect for contouring too). It's really easy to apply and fells nice and smooth on, it can't be overdone either. There's only good things I have to say about the Hoola bronzer, well maybe except for that pointless brush that comes with it. It's definitely worth checking out, this product is just one of a kind. Nice one, Benefit.



As always I would love some recommendations, especially if you know a good, matte bronzer.
Have you had a chance to try Hoola? Do you prefer shimmery or matte bronzers?

Bourjois Delice de Soleil Bronzing Powder

After falling head over heels with Bourjois blusher the brand got me again with their powders. I got a couple, but decided to review Delice de Soleil first. It was quite hard to find a bronzing powder that would suit my pale face, so I'm so glad I picked it up. I wasn't sure about the packaging at first, but it's quite cool actually. It's a nice brown case with a rotating mirror. The bronzer is a lovely, natural looking shade and contains just the right amount of pigmentation which allows to build up the colour, plus it's easily blendable. I got the one for fair/medium skin so if this is not enough, there's the one for dark/tanned skin to check out (it's more intense). It smells quite nice too, didn't have any chocolate scented makeup before. Bourjois also added a tiny brush with it, but I can't say anything about it really since I've not used it once (prefer my Real Techniques brush). Overall, I'm happy with this product and would probably re-purchase once it's finished.
