NARS Sun Wash Diffusing Bronzer Shades & Swatches There are four shades in total and it’s very exciting to meet a new formulation of the cult shades Laguna and Casino. Seaside – Light 1 Laguna – Medium 1. NARS Casino Powder Bronzer NARS Casino Powder Bronzer ($38.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a medium, reddish-brown with moderate, warm undertones and a fine, golden pearl throughout that gave it a satin finish when buffed and blended out. The texture felt. NARS Laguna Dupes Here are our dupes for NARS Laguna, which is a very warm-toned, light brown with a pearl finish. It is a permanent bronzer that retails for $38.00 and contains 0.28 oz.

The Nars Bronzing Collection consists of four bronzers in their original formula and four brand new matte shades. Nars also released lip products in their popular Laguna shade (much needed) and also added some new shades to the Powerchrome Loose Eye Pigments.

NARS Laguna Powder Bronzer NARS Laguna Powder Bronzer ($38.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a soft, golden brown with warmer undertones and a gold-shimmered, satiny finish. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer more on top. The texture was soft, smooth, and velvety with a smidgen of powderiness; it wasn't quite as velvety as other shades in the recently.

The new bronzer packaging has the same feel as the old. It has the same smooth to the touch black packaging but the new bronze details make it even more beautiful. Nars only had two shades in the bronzers in Laguna and Casino so I’m glad to see that they added more shades in the line. They also released a brand new matte formula which is equally beautiful.

The Nars Bronzing Powder comes in four shades in:

San Juan (new shade that is good for fair to light skin tones)

Laguna(diffused brown with gold shimmer and good for light to medium skin tones)

Casino (diffused deep brown with gold shimmer and good for medium to tan skin tones)

Punta Cana (new shade described as diffused rich mahogany brown with gold shimmer and good for tan to deep skin tones)

The formula of the Nars Bronzing Powder is the same as their original formula so they didn’t reformulate (just repackaged). I wouldn’t say that these shades have gold shimmer (at least it’s not noticeable on the skin). Instead, I find the bronzers give a beautiful golden glow on the skin that looks very natural.

For shade reference, I rotate between Laguna and Casino depending how tan I am. I really like this formula for an all over bronze look and I think it is perfect for the summer.

The Nars Matte Bronzing powder also comes in four shades:

Vallarta (matte light tan and good for fair and light skin tones)

Laguna (matte warm brown and good for light to medium skin tones)

Samoa (matte deep golden brown and good for medium to tan skin tones)

Quirimba (matte deep red brown and good for tan to deep skin tones)

The Nars Matte Bronzing Powder formula is pigmented but blends nicely on the skin. It is one of those bronzers that you don’t have to swirl your brush to get product on the brush. In fact, Nars’s makeup artist told us (we had an online master class) that you can just roll the brush on the pan and you will get enough product. You can definitely contour with the matte bronzers but they are not cool toned, so you can use them as an all over bronzer if you prefer a matte formula.

Nars also released a limited edition of the Laguna bronzer. The Paradise Found Bronzing Powdercomes in beautiful bronze packaging that resembles the texture of sand. It has beautiful gold overspray and the scent is the same as their Monoi body oil which I adore. Since the gold overspray is shimmer I wouldn’t use it on my face, but I would definitely try it as an eyeshadow. If you use and love the Laguna shade, this is a great limited edition compact to get.

There are three lip products in the Bronzing Collection:

The Afterglow Lip Balm in Laguna (a beautiful warm toned bronze shade)

Oil Infused Lip Tint in Laguna (shimmering bronze with gold pearl)

Oil Infused Lip Tint in Reef(sheer mauve shimmer)

I’m a big fan of the Afterglow Lip Balms. They are the perfect sheer and hydrating lip product that I love wearing every day. The shade in Laguna is my favorite shade that Nars has released together with Dolce Vita.

As for the Oil Infused Lip Tints, it was my first time trying the formula. They are a mix between a sheer lip gloss and an oil. The also leave a tint on the lips which is subtle. I really like both Lagunaand Reef. I love layering these over other sheer lipsticks to add a glossy effect on my lips. They are both comfortable and hydrating. Everything that I like in a sheer glossy formula.

And lastly, the Nars Powerchrome Loose Eye Pigments. I have a detailed review of the Loose Eye Pigmentsthat you can read here.

With the Nars Bronzing Collection, there are two shades that were previously released in Shock Em and Stricken(hands down my favorite bronze shade for creating a smoky eye). Nars added two new shades to the line in Castaway(shimmering translucent white with orange pearl) and Islamorada (shimmering turquoise).

The Powerchrome Eye Pigments are best applied with fingers and are pigmented enough to be used on their own. You can also used them over other shades if you like to add dramatic shimmer on the eyes.

Bottom line, I’m really loving everything from the Nars Bronzing Collection. I love that they expanded the bronzer line and also added a matte formula. I also find the lip products perfect for the summer. All in all, another beautiful collection from the brand.

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. 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?
