{PC Review} Herbal Essences Moroccan My Shine Shampoo and Conditioner

Herbal Essences Moroccan My Shine Shampoo and Conditioner

Winter can be brutal on my hair, which is why I generally use more hydrating products and oils to help keep it in check. Recently, I’ve been using the Herbal Essences Moroccan My Shine line which stays true to their signature allure while also adding an extra touch of the islands–it smells incredible and the aroma lasts for days.  Working up to an incredible lather, the formula contains both conditioning ingredients to help cleanse the hair without stripping it and touch of Morocco’s legendary 100% natural argan oil extract for added softness and shine.  I have been incredibly pleased with the performance of this product, especially since most of the argan oil infused products on the market are double the price.  My hair feels soft and hydrated, and I even met a friend a day after washing whom commented on how amazing my hair smelled—and actually asked if it was Herbal Essences (true story)!

Try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

{Giveaway} Win this FOTINI Romanov Print Scarf ($275 value)

IMG_1116Since first meeting fashion designer, Fotini at her design studio in NYC, I have been completely enamored with her designs — and prints! For spring her collection was very feminine and pretty with soft, floral tones and elements of lace and then for fall she kept the feminine silhouette but added in a whole level of sexiness and mystery that’s beyond. And as part of her fall collection she created a custom Romanov print which was used as part of a gown (pictured below). She also used the silk chiffon print to create a limited edition scarf ($275 value), that I’m wearing in the photo above and am so excited to give away! It’s so limited, it’s not even on her site! Tie it, wrap it, it can be worn in multiple ways. It’s actually quite long (I’ve wrapped it around several times) and so elegant, that even matched with a basic white tank and jeans, it can make (and glam up) any outfit.

WIN IT!! There are 3 ways to enter:  Each option counts as a separate entry. 

  • Follow @Fotininyc on twitter & tweet her using the hashtags #FOTINI #giveaway. SAMPLE TWEET: RT and Follow @FotiniNYC for your chance to win this custom ($275 value) scarf: http://bit.ly/HZiz2C/ #FOTINI #giveaway
  • Follow @FOTINInyc on Instagram (and like the corresponding post: http://instagram.com/fotininyc)
  • Like FOTINI on Facebook at Facebook.com/FOTINInyc and comment under any of her posts using the hashtag #FOTINI

US residents only, entries will be accepted until 11/26 11:59pm. One winner will be chosen by FOTINI/Pretty Connected by November 29th. Good luck!
