Fake it til you make it! My fakecation pack with Benefit Hoola bronzers for face and body in adorable tropical packaging; Hoola Zero tan lines, Dew the Hoola liquid bronzer for face, and Hoola brush and bronzing powder. Known affectionately as “beach in a box”, you simply dust this award-winning bronzing powder over your chin, cheeks and forehead for a healthy, natural-looking “tan” year-round. The product names and packaging evoke a tropical paradise no matter what the weather and location you’re currently in, whether it’s Hawaii or Henderson, these will bring the sunshine. As the Benefit coaster says below, with Hoola bronzers, you’ve got it glowing on, girl.
What we like: Hoola Bronzer is nice and natural-looking for a sun exposure-free year-round tan. It has a nice matte finish, without any glittery bits or shine. More beach babe, than disco ball.

Below: I was blown away to received this personalised ‘Megan’ Hoola bronzer! I love it.
Hoola Zero Tanlines is a body bronzer version of the award-winning Hoola Bronzing Powder. Two big problems people have with applying body bronzer is of course getting your hands covered in it, and also, not getting an even finish. This eliminates both these problems with a sponge applicator for the gel product.
What we like: I am allergic to DHA active ingredient in self-tanners, but these wash-off products are fine as they are for 12 hours and don’t develop on the skin like fake tanners do. Hoola Zero Tanlines is free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.

Lastly, the face. Dew the Hoola – I love their punny names! – is a liquid bronzer for the face.
What we like: It is without shimmer and can be used on bare skin or over foundation.
