”Love that it’s: “functional, adorable””
”HOOLA had a baby and its even more perfect than the original. The size is perfect for on the go, but its also perfect just to stare and coo at in the palm of your hand. SO cute. Why can’t all brands miniaturize everything? I’m glad the formula is the same, so now I can carry it with me wherever I go. I don’t like to be away from my HOOLA for very long. I start to get bronzing separation anxiety.”

I was contemplating whether to buy this or the Physician's Formula bronzer. They were of the same price, it was just a matter of which one was better. After thorough research, I decided the Hoola Bronzer was better and ordered it immediately. Girl, THIS IS THE BEST BRONZER FOR FILIPINAS. The shade is just on point, and it blends out like butter. The applicator that comes with it doesn't work as effectively as a contour or blush brush so you might consider this before buying. Also, the issue with this is that it's a tad bit too pricey, but it's worth it though!
16 days agoAnother product that I love from my favorite brand, Benefit. ❤️ The packaging is really cute and handy. It is small but just enough for me who loves make up that looks just as natural as possible. The color payoff is strong so don't go crazy about applying this. But you'll definitely love this as well as I do. ❤️
about 1 month agoI used to be super nervous abut getting a bronzer. I've taken to wearing makeup every day, but I don't think I'm very good at doing anything beyond the basics. As such, whenever the foundation or powder base I am using left me too pale, I often preferred to slug out looking like a ghost for the day rather than fix it. This bronzer, though, has legit saved me from that. It has no shine, pats down nice, and doesn't settle into the fine lines of your face. It gives me a healthy, natural-looking glow whenever I use it, and hasn't mixed badly with any of my products yet. I've since tried out other bronzers (some of them more expensive than this one), and I've got to say: this still takes the cake for me. If you're looking to try out bronzers for the first time, buy this! The mini size is a great investment for travel, and also for long-haul sampling.
2 months agoI don’t get the hype on this one. At first it was ok, decent even, until I got my hands on MJ’s omega bronze in tantric. Compared to that, this product was too brown and too warm on my light-medium skin with warm undertone. Came off as patchy by midday no matter what base or brush I use. What I do like about this is it’s offered in a small size so was able to test it before committing to the full-sized product.
2 months agoThis product is sooo beautiful. Everytime I wear it every one would ask me, “Bakit ka blooming?” And I would love the compliments. Howevermy skin is sensitive and it’s allergic to fragrance and parabens, so I would have whiteheads in those areas where I apply this bronzer in. But if you do not have sensitive skin like mine, this product is beautiful. You don’t need to buy the full version of this because this mini is just enough and I wearing makeup everyday.
3 months agoI underdstand why this has topped beauty charts since it was launched. I love this on my skin. It adds just the right amount if bronze on my otherwise pale lifeless skin. I even use this for a subtle contour on the sides on my nose. I actually love the brush that comes with it. It makes applying the product so much easier.
