June Beauty Heroes: Honua Skincare

For the last few weeks (which have flown by), I’ve been experimenting with the products from the Beauty Heroes June box.  I have to say, I have a love/hate relationship with testing new skincare.  On the one hand, I know what works for me, so I can be lazy or hesitant to shake things up.  On the other hand,…
