Benefit: Do The Hoola Review

I recently ordered a Benefit kit with my Birchbox points. After wanting to try the Hoola bronzer a few times, but not wanting to splash out on the full-sized product in case it was the wrong shade, I decided to go for the 'Do The Hoola' box.

It comes with a good range of popular products to try, so this kit is a great idea for if you're not 100% sure about buying something!













The products are reviewed in order of swatches from top to bottom.

Hoola Bronzer


Dubbed as the UK's best-selling bronzer, Hoola is a natural-looking shade and you don't need to use too much of the powder to make a difference. I really liked this, as it wasn't orange at all and blended in with the rest of my makeup easily. It comes with a tiny version of the flat bronzing brush - this is really soft but did have a few bristles come loose. As this was the only downside to an otherwise amazing product, I'll definitely be buying the actual thing!

Dew The Hoola


One of Benefit's latest releases, this version of the Hoola bronzer is in liquid rather than powder form and aims to give a dewy look. When sampling this, it was quite orange and watery so I struggled to blend it in, though I may have used too much product. Due to this, I'm a bit wary of using it on my face - I'm happy enough with the powder version, and think I'll save this one to use on a day where I don't have to leave the house!

Benebalm


Okay, so I know this is a lip tint but I very rarely wear this kind of colour on my lips, so I tried it on my cheeks. I'm supposing it's meant to be similar to the Benetint, so I may have to buy that as it left a really nice pinkish colour that finished off my makeup nicely. I've never actually used blusher before, but it's definitely something I'll carry on using as I was pleasantly surprised when finding this actually looked okay!

Ultra Plush in Hoola


I'm not a huge fan of lipgloss, as I find it unbearably sticky and often just irritating. This one smells lovely and wasn't too sticky, though it did rub off rather easily. The shade is really nice, and did look good with the glow given by the other products in the box, but the small version is enough for me!

They're Real! Mascara in Barely Black


I've always gone for ultra-black mascaras wherever possible, so I never thought a Barely Black one would make much of an impact. It definitely did though! I do have quite long lashes naturally, but they're almost blonde in colour so I'm always looking for a mascara that catches them all. This one worked wonders, was easy to apply and has kept my lashes looking long all day. Definitely another product on my must-have list.
