Praise & Giveaway: Apothica $25 Gift Card

By

It is a pleasure to introduce you to our newest blog sponsor, Apothica. Apothica is a beauty retail website specializing in high end products from companies such as Stila, Too Faced, and Smash Box Cosmetics.  If you haven’t had a chance to check out Apothica I would encourage you to visit their website before heading to the mall.
As a busy mom, runner, full-time employee, blogger, and wife I am always looking for ways to make my life easier.  When Apothica offered me the opportunity to review one of their products, I chose the Oscar Blandi Every Other Day Dry Shampoo System.
Now, I want to be honest, I rarely splurge on such a luxury for myself.  I was so excited when the box arrived that I actually told my husband that I was going to take a shower, wash my hair and I didn’t want to be disturbed. 
The Oscar Blandi Every Other Day Dry Shampoo System includes the shampoo, conditioner and the dry shampoo in a spray bottle. I was very impressed with the quality of the shampoo and the gentle fragrance. One of the thing that really suprised me is that the Oscar Blandi shampoo is full of botanicals and doesn’t have any Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Dyes, Petro-Chemicals, or Phthalates.
From that first wash I could totally tell that I was using an exceptionally high quality product. On day one, I used the shampoo and conditioner and then the next day before heading out to work, I used the dry spray shampoo. 
I normally can go 1-2 days without washing my hair but by the afternoon on the 2nd day, my hair is greasy and flat.  By using the Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo in the morning, my hair had lift and did not feel greasy the entire day.
I know it is hard to tell but here is picture on me heading out to work on day 2 of using the dry shampoo system. My hair styled nice, has volume and a nice shine.  
As you can tell, I am a completely wowed by the Oscar Blandi products and my experience with Apothica.  From the ease of purchasing my products on their website, the quick and affordable delivery and the high quality product, I plan on using Apothica for my future beauty product purchases.

    I don’t have any nail polish for Spring or Summer, so that is definitely what I would get! The SpaRitual Nail Lacquer Truth Collection – Eye of the Beholder seems like such a fun color!
