There's a 100% chance that I'm wearing pajamas in these pics. ?
Today I'm wearing a glowy, glossy, beachy casual look with the new NARS Charlotte Gainsbourg collection (thanks to Leelee for the suggestion!).
What's in the mix
Eyes:MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush (all over lids from lash line to brow bone), NARS Charlotte Gainsbourg Old Church Street Velvet Eyeshadow Duo (champagne shade in the inner portion of lids and blue on the upper lash line), NARS Charlotte Gainsbourg Kohliner in Nuit D'Encre (tight line), NARS Blondie Eyeshadow (outer portion of crease and lower lash line), NARS Audacious Mascara (lashes), MAC Brun Eyeshadow and Benefit Ready Set Brows (brows)
Nars Laguna And Casino Swatches Double Wear
So with that, I asked a few of my beauty mavens to give me the inside scoop on some of their favorite bronzers and naturally Nars ended up being the holy grail product of 99% of them. So I went by by local Sephora and picked up Laguna and Casino. I'm NC50 in MAC Cosmetics Prolongwear Foundation if that gives you a good reference point for color. NARS San Juan Swatch. It is a gorgeous shade and will be fool-proof for paler skin tones. Here it is next to Laguna (right) so you can see how it compares: NARS San Juan vs Laguna New NARS Matte Bronzing Powder. So this is the brand new formula and rather exciting. NARS Paradise Found & Laguna Bronze Summer 2020 Collection (swatches & review) One of the most iconic NARS products is their Laguna bronzer. It was intentionally duped by more brands than I can think of and some of those dupes are actually pretty good!
Cheeks:NARS Sun Wash Bronzer in Laguna, NARS Charlotte Gainsbourg Multiple Tints in Jo and Alice (mixed together and applied on apples), MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush (upper cheekbones)
Face: Make Up For Ever Smoothing Primer (on my cheeks, nose, forehead and around my mouth), NARS Hydrating Glow Tint in Medium mixed with a few drops of Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Concealer in Y41 (all over my face), Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Concealers in Y31 and Y41 (underneath my eyes), NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder (to set under eye concealer), MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Golden (on my forehead, sides of my nose, around my mouth and chin)
Lips: NARS Multiple Tint in Jo mixed with NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in London Clinic (applied with a MAC 217 brush)
Dude, I wish I was actually going to the beach today! I'm just about to leave for the dentist. Wish me luck…

It's two hours past midnight and Bentley is curled up in a ball sleeping right beside me (loudly if I may add, who knew a dog as small as him could snore so loudly). Meanwhile, I'm glued to my laptop ready to finish this entry before the sun is up.
I've wanted to compare these bronzers for you ever since I bought a box of Benefit Hoola. Nars Laguna was my second choice, and for a long time I couldn't pick between the two. After all they're both what most girls call their Holy Grail bronzers.
So I did what any confused shopper would do and looked at the price tags. Hoola was cheaper, so Hoola it was. I used it a lot, loved it, and finally hit pan on it. As a replacement, I now regularly use the Nars Laguna Bronzer. I thought it would be interesting to share a good comparative review of the two just in case, like me, you're curious about which of them is a better purchase.

Nars came in its usual sleek iconic packaging, in which every Nars owner knows — will be covered with makeup smudges after a month. But even then I still like it over Benefit's cute quirky boxes, just out of preference. Those boxes scare me. I trained my hands to handle it very carefully, in fear that it might tear off into two pieces (it didn't by the way).
Just out of curiosity, which packaging do you guys prefer?

From afar, both bronzer shades look like twins. But up close, you'll spot the tiniest specks of gold within the Nars Laguna Bronzer. I worried that they might turn my T-zone awfully shinny. But when the Laguna is on my skin, I barely notice any shimmer. Instead, it translates into a beautiful glowy sun-kissed tan.
Benefit Hoola Bronzer though, is a plain matte bronzer. It can easily be understated beside the golden Nars Laguna, but Hoola has it's own special tricks as well. It can imitate how shadows would look like on skin (it's quite intense on the swatch but when blended its beautiful), which makes it the perfect bronzer for sculpting that Kim Kardashian facial contour (or a slightly less intense contour than hers). I like to swipe this on my jawline to slim my face down a bit.
Quality wise, they both make me so proud for lasting an entire day. Although, of course, after a very long while they will fade and will require a little retouching. You can build up their color from the lightest touch of bronze to a darker shade. But Hoola can go a few more shades darker, which is why your skin tone will also play a role in picking between the two bronzers. In most cases I believe light-medium skintones will benefit more with Laguna, while medium-dark skintones will look best with Hoola.

Even though Nars Laguna and Benefit Hoola are both excellent bronzers, they aren't really that alike. Laguna for me is the best bronzer to warm up my entire face. It adds this beautiful light golden tan to my skin. Winstar world casino concert venue. While Hoola, is the perfect bronzer for contouring (and to be honest not as flattering to use all over the face). Don't get me wrong though, I can still use Laguna for a light contour too, but Hoola does the job a lot better.
If I had to choose just one bronzer, I'd pick Nars Laguna just because I use it more often. Plus, I can easily go through my makeup routine without contouring my face. But if I didn't have to choose, having both bronzers is a really good treat. They work so well together. If you want something for contouring grab yourself a box of Hoola, but if you want a bronzer to warm up your face go for Laguna. Hope this post was useful for you. What's your favorite bronzer?
