Monday's Beauty Bit: Pantene Blogger Party & Makeover

I should warn you, there are ALOT of gratuitous vanity shots ahead. But after posing for almost two hours I feel like it's warranted! After participating in the Pantene 14-Day hair challenge, the nice people at Pantene treated us to a tea-party and makeover. Lest you think the review was "paid for" by this event, it wasn't really. They used the party for a press kit that went out to the media so everybody wins. :)

I however, am NOT in most of the shots that went out to the media due to the nature of my work and certain rules it brings. So here's my time in the limelight. *flicks hair*

The Pantene 14-Day Hair Challenge

I'll admit that when Pantene first asked me to trial their latest range I was apprehensive. My experience with Pantene in the past has been that it's great for a few uses but after a few days things tend to go a little weird due to heavy silicone buildup. I agreed to the 14-day trial after promising myself that I'd stop if things went south. The verdict? Not bad, not bad at all! With at least one product that's gone on my Holy Grail list. Read on to learn more and for individual product reviews:

Claims

From the Press Release (am starting to love the purple prose on these things):

P&G's  latest release of its new improved Pantene Recharging Fluid Pro-V Formula range that will give women more reasons to rejoice in their crowning glory. Touted to be the solution that will address the toughest hair issues faced by women the world over --- ranging from split ends to hair fall to the bane of having to deal with rough, tangled hair – 14 days is all it takes for total hair transformation! And, that’s not even taking into account the amazing ability of the product to reduce hair fall due to breakage from as much as 100 strands of hair to 2*.

The bag the products came in also promised to make all my "hair dreams come true". Tee hee!
