I love the Benefit Hoola Bronzer.  For well over a year I have used this magical bronzer almost daily and loved the beautiful effect it gave my normally sallow skin.  I was skeptical that I would ever like another bronzer as much, but I have found one AND it is a drug store dupe!!!  OK, I won’t keep you waiting….it is the Milani finishing powder in 06 Medium Tan.

Each of these bronzers have an exceptional color that gives gorgeous depth without being orange or muddy.  They both go on smooth and give a natural glow and provide depth when you need to contour.  As for the packaging, I could go either way.  The Milani compact comes with a mirror which can be helpful but the brush on the Milani powder is awful.   I do like the sturdiness of the box that houses the Hoola bronzer and I have really been liking the brush that comes with it as well.  All in all with a $20 price difference, I am going to stick with the Milani powder for now.  Here are some swatches so you can compare:
