My Favourite Bronzers

Would you believe that I only got around to doing my first bronzer review last year? That might not mean anything to you, but it has shocked me for some reason. I’ve been blogging for five years, but it took me four years to review a bronzer; madness. So I thought I would follow it up by sharing some on my favourite bronzers.

Milani | Silky Matte Bronzing Powder

Milani Silky Matte Bronzer

I’ve spoken about this bronzer a lot on my blog, as it is one of my favourites. I picked this up on a whim and quickly fell in love with the formula. There are four shades to pick from and I have the lightest which is Sun Light. It is described as a light brown and I use it to contour. This bronzer has a matte finish, and it is very pigmented. Which means you don’t need to apply that much, so it’s better to apply smaller amounts and build it up.

Benefit | Hoola Bronzer

This bronzer is a classic, as I’m sure everyone has heard about this at some point. Hoola can be a little dark for me, but there are three other shades to pick from, as well as the classic. Hoola is a matte bronzer, that is a medium brown with warm undertones. I love using this to warm up my face in the summer months when I’m not as pale.

Kiko | Ocean Feel Bronzer

I was a little unsure about including this, as it is limited edition, but it comes back around in different packaging every now and again. These bronzers are huge, so it is bound to last a long time. I bought the lightest shade which is 01 Warm Honey, and it has a baked formula designed to give a sunk kissed appearance. I use this to warm my face up, and start of small building it up. This bronzer does have a weird scent to it that I aren’t keen on, but it isn’t that strong.

Physicians Formula | Butter Bronzer

After what feels like forever Physicians Formula has finally come to the UK, so you can get this brand at Boots and Feel Unique. I have the shade bronze, which I thought would be too dark considering there is a lighter version available, but it is a perfect match. There are four shades to pick from in total. It has a creamy and soft texture, but it is still a powder product. It has a matte finish and an incredibly strong coconut scent.

Top to Bottom: Milani Silky Matte, Benefit Hoola, Kiko Ocean Feel and Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer.

There we have four of my favourite bronzers!

What bronzers do you like?

Thank you for reading!

    All of these look amazing! I used to be obsessed with Benefit Hoola but now my go-to is the L’oreal Back To Bronze Bronzer. I really want to pick up a Milani bronzer though. Their range looks really good xx

    I love Hoola! I hadn’t used it for ages until I picked it up again recently and it’s still just such a good all rounder! I love it for contour and bronzer in one 😉

    It’s unfortunate that the Ocean Feel has an unappealing smell. I am super smell sensitive, so even the faintest bad smell is enough to turn me off of a product entirely.

      Ah no, it probably wouldn’t be great for you then. The Kiko ranges do tend to have scents, which can be a bit of a shame xx

    Hoolah bronzer is such a good one. Love the colour of it – and I can imagine that the caramel version and the lite version are both lovely too xx

    I’ve been drooling over the hoola bronzer whenever I see it, I think it’ll be my next high end purchase. I feel like Kiko absolutely dominate when it comes to blushers & bronzers!.

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
