Bronzer Comparison: Nars Laguna VS Benefit Hoola

Have you ever wondered which bronzer to get? People always rave over 2 different ones you may think what is the difference between them, Well hopefully this post will help you.

Lets start with Nars Laguna.
Nars say- " Brown with golden shimmer" 

Nars Laguna is a light toned brown with gold shimmer, this bronzer is amazing for contouring as it comes out being semi matt, this means the shimmer is not over powering and can hardly be seen. The colour of this bronzer douse not come out orange on the skin and would look good on people with light to mid toned skin. 

This bronzer comes in the ever so famous Nars rubber Packaging which collects finger prints like there is no tomorrow 

Laguna comes with a Net Wt 0.28 Oz 8g, it also has a best before date of 24 months. 

Pros: Comes out true to colour on your skin
      Big Mirror for on the go 
      A little bit goes a long way
      Not Chalky or powdery 
      gives a nice glow

Cons: very expensive £25
      Gets dirty easy
      Can crack easy

I really like this bronzer and will defiantly be buying it again ones i run out.

Now onto Benefit Hoola.
Benefit say: "Dust this soft bronze powder over your complexion for a healthy, natural looking "tan" year-round. No tanning bed necessary! Complete with soft, natural-bristle cheek brush. It's pure colour - no sparkle and no shine!" 

Benefit Hoola is a matt bronzer, it is a light toned brown which has a nice soft texture. A little bit of this bronzer goes along way as it is very pigmented so make sure to only use a little bit as you can go back for more.

The Packaging for this bronzer may look cute but its not very handy. It can get broken easy as it is maid of cardboard and things attach them self to it as it has a magnet in side. 


This bronzer also comes with a Net Wt 0.28 oz 8g


As you can tell i love this bronzer as i have hit pan on it :)

Pros: Matt finish so grate for contouring
      True to colour
      Lasts a long time
      Really smooth
      Good for light to mid toned skin
      Easy to find

Cons: Packaging brakes easy
      Hard to control amount using
      £23.50
      Douse not say how long it can be used for

As you can tell i really like this bronzer and if i had to pick just one i would goo with hoola as I think its a lot easer to use and looks amazing (also it cheaper)
