Pearlesque Box January 2020 Review feat. Honua Skincare
When I first received my January box, there was a leaky product so I reached out to Pearlesque Box to request a new one on January 21st. They responded right away but then I didn't hear anything from them for a little while. Eventually, Honua reached out to me directly to ask about the batch number on the bottle, and to confirm my address so they could send a new one. It arrived a little over 3 weeks (on February 13th) from the day I reached out which is a little long, but since this went through two points of contact that are both small companies, it's understandable. I was happy to finally receive the new product. 🙂

In the box, I got an info card that introduces me to the featured brand, Honua Skincare, and the two featured products. It tells me how to use them, their retail price, and a #pearltip.

Honua Skincare Līhau Face Mist, 1 oz. - Retail Value $18.00
I've used this face mist in the past and have enjoyed it, mainly due to my fave ingredient all-star: blue tansy. Along with Hawaiian sandalwood, vetiver, and neroli this face mist acts as a toner and hydrates my skin with both anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits. After cleansing and before any serums, moisturizers, or oils, this will prep my skin for the rest of my routine along with giving me a burst of a calm, soothing scent. It feels refreshing on a cold dry day just as much as a sweaty summer one.

Honua Skincare Aloha Youth Serum, 2 oz. luxury size - Retail Value $92.00
Aloha Youth Serum is a solid serum and I've always loved it. I have mentioned before that this was a gateway serum for me that opened the door to a more robust regimen. Honua Skincare and specifically this product have been popping up more frequently in subscription boxes lately and you won't hear a complaint from me. Receiving a larger 2-ounce "luxury size" is a surprise as well. This one comes with a pump instead of the usual dropper and only one or two pumps will be plenty to cover my face, neck, and decollete in the pale yellow milky serum. Inside the bottle, you'll discover local Hawaiian ingredients like aloalo & 'awa, lau comfrey, olena, noni, and 'aila kuku & kamani “super oils” that aim to brighten, hydrate, and tighten my skin (hence the name YOUTH serum). This has a pleasantly natural and botanical scent to it that adore and while it feels slightly tacky when first put on, it slowly absorbs through my skin and makes it look and feel super nice.
Verdict: Pearlesque Box came through with two solid products that I know and love this month. I'm always happy to see Honua Skincare since I know they are committed to small-batch products in sustainable ways that utilize natural and organic Hawaiian ingredients. Both items are great for skincare newbs and veteran addicts, alike. Plus, I calculated a total value of $110, which is fantastic for a $39.95/month box.
