Get bronzed with Benefit

Can’t bear to leave your summer glow behind?

Well, Benefit can help with that. Hoola, R385, the cult classic bronzer has new stable mates. And what a fine pedigree they are!

First up, for the face, there is Dew The Hoola, R445. It’s a soft-matte liquid version of the original. It looks a bit scary when it comes out, but blends seamlessly into the skin to deliver a subtle bronze glow. The formula is light and sits well under foundation. The box says it can be used over foundation, too, but I haven’t tried that yet.

Next is Hoola Zero Tanlines, R475. This genius product is an instant bronzer for your body. It’s not a self-tan, but it will stay on until you want to remove it. It gives my pale skin a natural tan, and promises to work just as well on all skin types, too. The tube comes with a sponge applicator at one end for easy application – it also helps to prevent streaks. I won’t use this too much for the next few months, as it’s too cold, but those first few warm days in spring it will start earning its keep!

As a side note, there is also a new Bronzing and Contouring Brush, R395.
