Benefit Dew The Hoola Review & Swatches

It's Sample Sunday :) Benefit has released a plethora of Hoola products this year! I kept seeing them on social media, but never took them all in. So let me break it down for you! There's Hoola matte bronzer in a box (bronzing powder), that I love (reviewed here) and we all know! You can now PERSONALIZE the Hoola boxed matte bronzer with your name (about $5 more) AND there's now a TRAVEL-SIZE mini version of it! What else is NEW? If you don't particularly care for powder bronzers, Benefit has come out with LIQUID VERSIONS! There's now a liquid Hoola for your BODY (hoola zero tan lines) and a liquid Hoola for your FACE (dew the hoola - liquid bronzer)! There's also a new Hoola bronzing and contouring brush! And don't forget about the Hoola ultra plush lip gloss! It's not new ;)

I received a deluxe sample of DEW THE HOOLA for your face (via an order I placed with Sephora) and (how can I say this) I don't like it (LOL). I found it to be different from the powder. Shockingly, it has a tinge of orange in it, which is never good. In the pictures below, you can't see it (except maybe my hand) ... but get a sample of this and go into the light (or sunlight). You'll see the difference. The powder Hoola, was very brown and natural-looking. So I was disappointed in this (I don't know this blogger, but she said it was ORANGE also). Dew The Hoola applies ok, but can get streaky. If you miss a spot, it will show. Another problem, is the coverage. It's a little too light for my taste. I prefer the powder (see here), because I can build more & faster. So all in all I wasn't impressed. I did Google some pics of people wearing this and some look a little orange. LOL It is time for my eye exam, but I can't use or recommend this. I was about to give it a good rating, until I stepped into the light! I was like, OH NO! So do the light test people (both natural & fluorescent)! Remember to get samples...try it in the store...don't be afraid to step outside to see how it looks...tanners & bronzers can be really tricky. Companies spend top dollar on promoting these collections/campaigns! Benefit sent a huge group of YouTubers to Hawaii to learn about and promote Hoola. It's been on Snapchat for days! Some of them will not tell you about a tinge of orange anything! LOL But in my Prince voice..."I'm here to tell ya...there's something else" ...ORANGE! >.<

(before with no makeup; after with one layer of dew the hoola and nothing else)
