Hey guys!
I'm having a dilemma. I have a 25% discount at sephora for only one product, and I'm going tomorrow. I was tempted to get the Hoola bronzer by Benefit. Do you recommend it? Is there anything else that you think I should go for instead? Keep in mind that I live in Italy and sephora here doesn't carry all of the US brands.
Thank you soooo much!

I like Hoola (matte) Bronzer esp. for fair to light skintones that have a difficult time finding a bronzer that doesn't look muddy. In my opinion (some may disagree) one of the few bronzers that can be used as a contour because its completely matte & because of it's neutral undertones which is unique to "bronzers". If you want an actual bronzer to be used as a bronzer only & a little more pizzazz (but not disco-bally), try Nars Laguna, a well loved bronzer with a tiny bit of a sheen.

Marleen: Thank you very much for your help! I'll check out the Nars too!

Other SEPHORA products : Any of the Anastasia Eye Brow Product. They have gel, powder, pencils, tints & brushes. Depending on your needs, you can try the Brow 1
Wiz Pencil. A skinny brow pencil, thats the easiest of all their products to use, giving a soft, natural look. The DIP BROW is the gel formula, is good for medium to skilled users. It can give a soft to intense loom depending on your hand. Its very intense so thats why I say it's good for medium to skilled users. That's not to say a beginner can't use it and get a soft look with practice. And if you get the Dip Brow, you have to get the brush to go with it. They have 3. Two are double ended & one is only single ended I don't like the single ended one not just for the obvious reason of it being a single, but Because the brush on that brush seems thicker & fluffier than the double ended ones. I prefer the thinner brush for more precise application. There are 2 double ended ones. They have the same brush & spoolie dimensions, but one is longer than the other. I assume the shorter one is a purse-size one. Although I do not take my brow brush with me, I did choose the smaller one because the shorter length is easier to manuever when I'm doing my brows while holding a mirror close to my face. The longer brush has a tendency to bump into the mirror. Plus I find the smaller brush easier to control. Nars lippies are good. Esp. the original DOLCE VITA (they also have a pencil & gloss which I don't care for). DOLCE VITA is a natural rosy mauvy, your lips but better look. I like it foe fair to tan skintones but everyone can wear it depending on the look youre going for. Dolce Vita has a cult following, they actually have 2 rows of it on display because its such a favorite. If you're on the hunt for a nude liner, and who isn't, Laura Mercier, YSL & Smashbox all have unique shades you at least have to try. They don't have a lot of choices but they are worth taking a look at.

Thank you Marleen! Next time I'm in the Us I'll definitely pick up some Anastasia stuff, but here we don't have those :(( so sad. right?
Tha Dolce Vita looks amazing!
As for the nude liner, I might want to wander around and try a few, I have a unique lip color, it's quite cool-toned and it's very hard for me to find one. Thank you!!
Now I'm off to study. OMG I have to close this!

Yes! It is my favorite bronzer and sometimes I use it in my crease too. Benefit boxed powders are the best(:
