Love Benefit Hoola but might it be a little too dark for you? Guilty here! I can’t use! It’s too dark and muddy for my skin tone! Benefit Hoola Lite Matte Bronzing Powder is a new lighter, low calorie version of the original that’s perfect for lighter complexions look for a little sheer warmth.

This new lighter shade adds warmth but the finely milled powder also acts as an all over setting powder as well. The soft, lighter matte bronze shade is a light creamy tan that adds warmth to fair and lighter skin tones without being too orange or to bronze.

Hoola is actually a nice shade but for me it’s always been a tad too dark and gave my complexion a muddy finish. I’m quite curious about Hoola Lite! Perhaps that might be a better solution! Although it does look quite sheer. We shall see. I’m curious about this shade.

What about you?

Benefit Hoola Lite Matte Bronzing Powder is available now at Ulta.com and should be launching soon at Sephora.com.

Are you already using Benefit Hoola to contour with? If so, you’ll likely love the new Benefit Hoola Cream-to-Powder Quickie Contour Stick ($28). This new cream contouring stick inspired by the warm bronze of Hoola comes in a convenient easy to apply stick with a soft creamy texture that set to a powder. Use it to define cheek bones, slim your nose, or sculpt and contour your entire face whole adding warmth to your complexion. The dome shape tips allows smooth, easy application.

I don’t really contour but I’m curious if I could use this to add a little warmth to my face with blush on top. I’m actually one of those people that will apply a little dusting of bronzer occasionally on my face with blush on top. It seems to make bronzer so much more wearable when you apply it like this! This also looks like a way softer shade compared to the original Hoola color which is a more muddy brown.

Hmmmm! Curious minds. Might have to swatch and play.

What do you think of Benefit Hoola Cream-to-Powder Quickie Contour Stick?

It’s available now at Ulta.com and should be available soon at Sephora.com.

P.S. How was your weekend? Hope you had a lovely one. Spring appears to be coming!

There are a slew of new facial masks launching at the drugstore for Spring 2017. Last year, we saw a bit of a trend developing when L’Oreal launched their mud masks! I’m still using the L�Oreal Pure-Clay Mask Exfoliate and Refine Pores, I kind of dig it even though I’m a sheet mask kind of girl!

Lately I’ve been multitasking a lot lately. Basically, my idea of multitasking is a little difference from the current trend you see. I’ve been using an exfoliating mask followed up with a hydrating sheet or cream mask directly after!

Anyway, if you’re as mask crazy as the rest of the beauty world! Here are some new ones to check out.
