Great stuff - 11.23.09
As usual, Benefit outdoes itself. I normally hate bronzer, think it looks fake and orange. This doesn't! It's perfect for contouring your face to get perfect high cheekbones and shadows where you need them. Oh- and it does what it was made for too-you look perfectly sun-kissed!

BEST BRONZER - 11.22.09
i have used this bronzer for several years now and have never liked another more. It goes on nicely, blends in well, no shimmer or anything. This is the best bronzer on the market for sure. Just make sure when you put it on to use an actual bronzer brush and the one that it comes with in the box. If you use the brush it comes with it will go on way to thick.

My favorite Bronzer - 11.21.09
Looks very natural and gives me a healthy look. I use it every day together with You rebel light. I chose Hoola over Dallas because Dallas was too pink and glittery.

I'm a big bronzer fan; I wear it everyday. I've tried too many to count over the years and this is by far my favorite. I haven't switched in 2 years since I found it.

It works perfectly, looks very natural, and stays on all day and night. I would recommend using your own makeup brush, the one provided doesn't apply it well.

Not the worst but not the best! Kinda thick and chalky looking. It looks like your wearing a lot of makeup with this product! I've had better...

Fabulously Bronzed! - 11.12.09
I love this product. It gives you a slightly tanned look without the fake sheen that other bronzers can have. My skin is usually very oily to begin with so I prefer to use matte powders and this is perfect for me! I use it daily and a box will last me at least six months so this is very much worth my money!

Golden Glow!.. - 11.11.09
This bronzer is one of very few that have ever complimented my skin tone. I am olive, but on the lighter/yellow side, so most bronzers look red on me. Not this one! It looks very natural, is easy to layer for day or evening, and is light and cake-free. Highly recommended!

Love These! - 11.11.09
Quick Take: flattering, luminous, glowy

I love the box powders! I have been using them for years, and keep coming back to them time and time again; they are really great, flattering colors, and they last forever. I use hoola as a bronzer; I like that it isn't too shimmery or too orange. Very subtle and very flattering; the brush that comes with it is perfect for contouring underneath the cheek-bone. I also use a little bit on the sides of my nose to slim it, and around the edge of my face. Dallas is an excellent blush. Sometimes, if I'm in a hurry, I use it on my eyes, and just a little to frame my face to brighten everything up. It's a very flattering shade, even on my very pale complexion. I also use Georgia; if I am feeling extra pale, it is a nice way to brighten everything up without using bronzer; I usually use it as a setting powder in place of translucent powder. I highly recommend these products! They are high-quality, flattering, reliable colors.

Love this Product - 11.10.09
Quick Take: perfect in every way

I love Hoola.....It adds just the right amount of color no matter how pale I am in the winter...I use Dallas in the summer when I have a tan, but Hoola for Medium Skin Tone is the way to go....All year long...

Fake health! - 11.02.09
Quick Take: silky refined powder

According to my fancy make-up artist best friend, this is a product she uses on literally everyone she works on. I was in a hurry when I purchased it -- didn't even test it -- and am super pleased. It's not a fake tan per se but it tricks the eye into thinking you've got a sort of I've-been-playing-tennis-at-the-club-all-morning glow. I don't play tennis but I like to look like I do!

This product has a nice color, but it still gives the skin a somewhat dirty look. Use it very sparingly!

Great bronzer! - 11.02.09
Quick Take: easy to apply

Great for just adding a hint of warmth to your face, and if you want a more bronzed look it's easy to just add another layer of color! Very user friendly for bronzing novices!
