Benefit Hoola Caramel Box o' Powder Review & Swatches
Hoola Caramel
Benefit Hoola Caramel Box o’ Powder (Bronzer) ($30.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a medium brown with warm, golden undertones and a matte finish. It had buildable pigmentation that ranged from medium to mostly opaque (two to three layers). The powder felt soft, a little powdery in the pan but applied evenly and blended out easily on my skin. Despite being matte, it didn’t appear flat or dry, and it made my skin appear a bit smoother overall. The color stayed on well for eight hours before starting to fade on my skin.

I haven’t bought Benefit for years but this looks really nice!
That looks gorgeous on you, Christine. Really beautiful.
(Check your last word in the description. It says sin. I assume meant skin.)
So sorry!
It looks lovely – a beautiful finish.
Really impressed with these Benefit bronzers. Never really paid much attention to Hoola (original) before, since I thought it looked too light for my skin, but I recently got it and like it. Goes on darker than I expected and works nicely for my skintone
This is lovely and, thankfully, not orangish! I still have plenty of UD Jawbone left for now, but this could be an excellent replacement for when I run out.
