Benefit Cosmetics describe Hoola as a soft bronzing powder, designed to give you a healthy looking tan, all year round. What with the (slightly) warmer weather, as a pale girl, I do like to use a little bit of bronzer to boost my complexion, or for contouring.
To me, a bronzer should be a neutral shade with no hint of orange, it should provide a matte finish with no glitter and it should be buildable, depending on how tan you want to look. Hoola matches this description perfectly; the powder is very soft and silky, it blends easily into my pale skin and leaves a lovely, healthy summer tanned look.
As you can see from the battered box, I have owned Benefit's Hoola for quite some time, but there's still plenty of product left. I have dipped my toes into the waters of many other bronzers and as a cheaper alternative, I can definitely recommend the Sleek Contouring Palette which contains a bronzer, blush and highlighter.

Benefit Cosmetics Hoola can be picked up for £23.50 from the Benefit website.
