    I do love Benefit Boxed Powder in Hoola... though the shade would be too dark for my fair skintone though alittle goes along way & shade works on my skin.

    I do find it last a long time , though alittle to pricy for bronzer

    I love this bronzer, but for over 30 dollars it seems like a bit of a rip-off. The plus side is that it is nice and matte (which is perfect for me) and that so far it has lasted me over a year. The colour is flattering, but it's nothing too special. I'm sure it is more than possible to find a cheaper drugstore dupe.

    I have been using this product for years, hands down my favorite bronzer! Has a nice matte finish so it is not too sparkly. In comparison to most other higher end beauty brands, price is fair - a little expensive in comparison to CG and other brands, but well worth it
    I love the packaging of Benefits products, they are unique and cute! Next time you are out looking for a bronzer, give this one a try!

    Sadly, I have found ALL of Benefit's products to be over-priced rubbish, with this one being no exception. All of their boxed products are all hype and no real 'benefit' at all. Don't even get me started on the crappy HighBeam, etc. RUBBISH.

    Shortly after I bought this one, at $28 12% tax mind you, I bought an ELF Studio combo product at Target - which has a blush and bronzer in the compact with a great mirror - for a mere $3, which is far better than this and obviously FAR cheaper. Benefit never ceases to p1ss me off with their over-hyped, over-priced products. I always feel ripped off every single time I buy something they manufacture. Needless to say, I never buy anything from them now. Never. Even if the stuff was 50% off, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

    Save your cash and get yourself a whack of ELF Studio products, which you will love. Try one of their blush and bronzer combos, which honestly do rival NARS in quality and are VERY different from ELF's 4 color in the pan bronzers which are very powdery and not worth getting. Their blush/bronzer combos are amazing. Have also stopped buying NARS after trying ELF Studio products.

    Have you ever looked in the mirror and said: "Ohh I wish I looked more tanned!" time for this dream to become your reality with Benefit's Hoola bronzer! Benefit's products are known for their quality and effectiveness and this bronzer was no different! Read on to learn why Hoola should be a part of your cosmetic collection...

    To begin with, Hoola is high quality. $28.00 might seem expensive for a bronzer, but hey, it is way cheaper than jetting to the tropics for your dream tan! Besides, take it from a good friend of mine who had a bad experience with a cheap bronzer (yes she turned orange!) "spending more means the company is confident it will work." she says. It is true. Benefit knows that Hoola is a product that you can see results from, so they don't have a prob with pricing it at its value.

    Furthermore, Hoola is an awesome bronzer because it gives you the glow you have been dreaming of! Unlike cheap bronzers that just turn you orange and shinny Hoola is a matte bronzer and gives you a subliminal tan that looks totally natural! Let's face it we all want that just-got-back-from-Cuba tan and with Hoola you get that look!

    To conclude, this bronzer is one I would completely recommend! The next time you are in the market for a fabulous bronzer check out Benefit's Hoola it made from quality materials and it will have you skin glowing year round!

    I own Benefit's Hoola Powder and I really like it's effect and quality. I apply it as a bronzer with a large brush for the perfect sun-kissed glow, I apply the powder lightly and shadow/darker if needed. If you're not a big fan of bronzer's with glitter add this product on your list.

    I love this bronzer, it was the first high-end one that I got. Pure matte colour, more on the cool side so it can work on lighter skin tones. Very smooth, nice packaging just like all the Benefit Boxed powders.

    -Matte color with no shimmer what so ever

    -You get a lot of product so this will last you a very long time

    -The best contouring powder I've ever used, it's the only bronzer I'll ever use for contouring

    -It's not so great as an over-all bronzer for my skin tone, it gives off this muddy dull color. However, it's a great over-all bronzer for darker skin tones

    I really like this bronzer. It's just the right color on my skin, and doesn't turn out orange on me. In the winter when my skin is lighter I just use less and blend it in more. The price is reasonable compared to some bronzers, it's easy to apply, and the little brush that comes with it is cute too! I think it's a good value.
