[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging for this Bronze is absolutely beautiful! The bronze itself is great. No scent, it is easy to blend with makeup. Coverage looks great leaving a beautiful and smooth finish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Hoola Wave Bronzing Balm, and I have a lot to say about it! The texture is super smooth and creamy, making it effortless to blend into the skin. It has a balm-like consistency that melts beautifully, creating a natural, sun-kissed look. Unlike some cream bronzers that feel sticky or heavy, this one feels lightweight and comfortable on the skin. One of my favorite things about this bronzer is how seamlessly it blends. Whether applied with a brush, sponge, or even fingers, it diffuses nicely without leaving harsh lines. It layers well over foundation without disturbing the base and can be built up for a more intense bronzed effect. The shade is a warm, golden bronze with a natural-looking undertone not too orange or muddy. It complements a variety of skin tones and gives that effortless, just-back-from-vacation glow. The finish is a soft matte with a hint of radiance, making the skin look healthy and fresh rather than flat or dry. The staying power is impressive! It lasts throughout the day without fading or getting patchy. Even on warmer days, it holds up well without feeling greasy or slipping off the skin. The packaging is sleek and compact, making it easy to carry in a makeup bag. It is sturdy and practical, though I would love to see a mirror included for on-the-go touch-ups. The Bronzing Balm is a fantastic addition to any makeup routine. It is beginner-friendly, blends like a dream, and provides a gorgeous, natural-looking warmth to the skin. If you love cream bronzers or are looking for a new go-to, this one is definitely worth trying!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bronzer is much different from others I’ve tried. It’s a mix between cream and powder. It takes a little more effort to blend into the skin and to build the pigment on to the skin. I was given a darker shade than what I would normally go for so fortunately that is an advantage to the buildability. Over all a decent bronzer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new version of the hoola bronzer is really good, I wasn’t expecting nothing good about it, but now I can say this has become an essential on muy makeup bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the creamy aspect to it but it is a bit hard to get on brush and skin. So if you work it just right, it comes out really good but you do need to get used to it. The color is amazing and i really like that shimmer it added without it being so much. The package was really good and compact for this type of make up. I love the box and design it came in. I will be buying again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely enamored with the Hoopla Wave Bronzing Balm! From the moment I first applied it, I was struck by its warm and beautiful color, which gives my skin a natural, sun-kissed glow without any orange undertones. The blendability is truly wonderful, making it incredibly easy to diffuse seamlessly into my skin, whether I'm using a brush, sponge, or even just my fingertips. What's more, the build-up is fantastic, allowing me to go from a subtle kiss of color to a more sculpted, bronzed look without ever looking cakey or heavy. The texture is incredibly soft and very fine, almost like a second skin. It glides on effortlessly and feels weightless, never emphasizing pores or fine lines. This balm has quickly become an essential part of my makeup routine, delivering a flawless and radiant finish every time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this brand already to begin with. This product has very nice packaging and cute. The texture for me is something newer I am trying to get used to the cream bronzer.

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the way this product blended on top of my foundation so effortless and seamless. The color shade complimented my skin tone very well. Works great under the powder hoola bronzer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice bronzer but the color I have reads a little red undertone for me. This does blend in beautifully and I think it’s a great product. I took away one star because I think they can have better undertones and add a shade or two more. Overall the formula is nice. I would recommend if you can find a good match for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This would be a really great product but I got the wrong color. It is way too dark for me. I've heard wonderful things about hoola and I know if I had the correct color I would have loved it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the texture and blendability of the product. I was actually pleasantly surprised because i thought it was a powder but then it turned into a cream. The packaging is beautiful and the color was a pretty good match for my skin!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find this product really good for summer time . It makes my skin looks so much better and add perfect amount of bronze . Blends beautifully with thick brush

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok this is my new favorite bronzer. I did not expect to love it this much. It blends perfectly and effortlessly and leaves a natural sun kissed tint. It doesn’t feel heavy and can withhold what ever the day brings on. The packaging is cute and functional, it has a nice sized mirror that is perfect for on the on application.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this balm from Influenster as a complimentary gift . I loved the texture, the only problem that I had is that it was way too dark for my skin! I will definitely buy a lighter shade! I like that it has a mirror! The packaging is cute!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Highly blendable product that gives your face a sun-kissed glow. I loved how natural this product looked and it is especially great for giving you that summer time glow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the texture of this bronzer. It does really well at blending and doesn't get creased in my fiber lines. Unfortunately, this shade is too dark for me. I'd definitely go lighter than expected when picking a shade. Benefit always have great products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this bronzing balm - the original shade was the perfect match for my light skin tone. I used the Benefit bronzer powder all through high school, so trying this balm felt like a nostalgic upgrade. I’ve been leaning more into hydrating, balm-based products lately, and this one blends beautifully while giving that nice sun-kissed warmth. Lightweight, buildable, and super easy to apply!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works amazing, last long, a little does a long way, it is fragrance free, I’m also using it as eyeshadow and I love it, small enough to carry in a smaller purse and retouch if need it, item is buildable in case you need more than just accentuate some features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shade was a little too warm for me, I probably should’ve gotten a lighter shade. A little goes a long way and it was a little patchy, but the color payoff is good. I like that there is a mirror built in.
