Subscription boxes and gifts from Influenster have been useful trial services for me. I actually have purchased quite a few full sizes of the samples that I have received. Yesterday’s post on the Luxie Rose Gold Kabuki Brush Set was a case in point. And today, here’s another one.
A couple of months ago, I received travel size versions of eva•nyc haircare products – Clean It Up Shampoo and Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer – in my Influenster Vacay Vox Box, and I fell in love with them because of the yummy lavender vanilla scent and because they both work well for my thick, coarse hair.
I still have some of the shampoo left, but I used up the Mane Magic travel size sample. Just as I finished it, Costco decided to have a 2-for-1 promotion. How handy!
Prior to getting the Mane Magic sample, I had been using It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner for more than a year. In fact, I bought the jumbo size at Ulta a few months ago when they had a 20% off sale. I really liked it, but I don’t know if it is the pump in the jumbo size, but it started shooting out too much serum onto my hair especially near my part. Combing it through or brushing it through didn’t seem to make a difference. It left a clump of serum there that made my hair feel dirty. So disappointing.
When eva•nyc Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer came along, I was eager to try it. As I said, the lavender vanilla scent really got me. I know that not everyone likes lavender scent, but the vanilla mixed with lavender absolutely transforms it. I love how my hair smells after I use this leave-in hair primer! The other thing I like about Mane Magic is that the serum itself is not as heavy and gloppy as It’s A 10, so when I spray it on, it’s a finer spray and a lighter weight serum. So far, so good. No dirty hair feeling.
Mane Magic is infused with Argan Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil to give hair a healthy dose of vitamins and nutrients. Mane Magic is vegan. It’s safe for color, keratin, and Brazilian treated hair. Free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, sodium chloride, and artificial colors.
Like It’s A 10, Mane Magic 10-in-1 promises a lot of hair benefits:
- detangles
- reduces frizz
- strengthens hair
- softens
- cuts drying time
- adds shine
- nourishes
- smooths
- provides thermal protection
- provides UV protection.
Some of the benefits are generic, IMHO, like detangles, softens, nourishes, shines etc. but the ones that I’m most interested in are frizz reduction, thermal protection and UV protection. Using eva•nyc Mane Magic coupled with my favorite JOICO K-PAK Lustre Lock Treatment makes my hair very smooth, shiny and frizz-free for at least a couple of days to as many as 5 days unless the weather is very humid, and then, nothing helps me! My hair doesn’t feel fried from my flat iron that I use at the highest heat. And UV protection? I think it would do a better job at UV protection if I used it more often than once every 3-5 days, lol.
The plastic spray bottle contains 6 fl.oz. and is priced at $12. Shake the bottle, spray onto damp hair, and dry and style as usual.
eva•nyc haircare products are sold on the eva•nyc website, at Ulta, Target, Walgreens, Kohls, JCPenney, and Bed Bath and Beyond. They are cruelty-free and are Leaping Bunny approved.

My hair can use all the help it can get!
Haha, Carla! Thanks for entering the giveaway, and good luck!
I would love to win this my hair is a mess it’s fried and breaks off all due to a medication I have to take for rheumatoid arthritis. I have tried everything and nothing works,
Jeanne, I’m sorry to hear that your meds affect your hair. I don’t know that this product would be able to reverse damage done through medication, but I think you’d enjoy using it anyway because it smells so good. Have you tried JOICO K-Pack Lustre Lock Treatment? It may be worth it to buy a travel size and see if it helps your hair. It’s a heavy duty conditioning treatment, and it is the workhorse that does the most to make my hair feel and look better.
Like that this has UV Protection and add shine. My hair looks so dull – I use shine products, but they only past a few hours.
For me, the UV protection is key. I get a couple of days of shine with this. I think if I washed my hair more often, it would be shinier longer, but I want to protect my color from fading, and water as well as UV rays is what does it. Thanks for entering, Marilyn, and good luck!
I would love to try this to see if it could help reduce the frizz. My hair could also use some nourishing.
Thank you for the review and giveaway!
Thank you, Jackie, for entering the giveaway! Also, consider trying a travel size tube of JOICO K-Pak Lustre Lock Treatment – it is the heavy duty treatment conditioner that has done the most for my hair.
I would like to try this product because I love fragrance and my hair is frizzy and needs help. If you rave about Mane Magic, then I know this is the product for me.
Mary, the eva•nyc stuff I’ve tried smells so incredible. I would use it for that alone, lol, but I like the other benefits too. Thanks for entering and good luck xo
I remember your amazing review on this brand, Allison! Good luck to everyone and I’ll need to buy this the next time I see it at Winners.
eva•nyc smells sooooooo goooooooood!
I need to protect my hair.
In addition to the fabulous scent, I think the thermal and UV protection are so important. Thanks, Julie, for entering and good luck!
This spray sounds so awesome. I wish I was in US 😀
Would like to try this for when I straighten my hair. It could help protect my hair from the heat.
I agree, Julie. Heat protection from the flat iron is key! Thanks for entering and good luck!
I would love to win this because I love argan oil hair products. My haor has gotten thinner with age and I find that using products like this do help.
Thanks for entering, Helga! Good luck
I have fine thinning hair. In the last year, I’ve developed “granny” frizzies that form a halo around my face. I’m hoping Eva NYC can help me with that!
Thanks for entering, Lynne! I also recommend buying a travel size JOICO K-Pak Lustre Lock Treatment, and giving that a try. It is a heavy duty conditioner that works wonders for me. xo
I was just talking about this brand with someone recently! She also swore by it! I’m going to have to give it a try now especially because of the scent!! I love a great scent in my haircare!
The scent is divine, Christine!
I’ve been using Bumble and Bumble “Prep” spray for a long time but I’d like to find something more affordable. This sounds like it might be just what I need.
I have never tried anything from Bumble & Bumble. Years ago, I used to pass their salon on 57th St. all the time. What really attracted me to eva•nyc is the scent – I just love it. And I love that it has thermal and UV protection as well as some frizz control. I think it’s good stuff, and it is certainly affordable. Costco has been killin’ it lately. Thank you, Kim, for entering and good luck!
What a great giveaway! I definitely have to baby my hair since I bleach it out often for fantasy color.
Oooooh, I need to see photos!! Thank you for entering, and good luck!
I have never had or heard about a hair primer before. But this sounds so good in so many ways. #1 I am a vanilla fan
My hair needs something just had 6 inches cut off yesterday. It just breaks so much and I like that this “strengthens hair” because I need this.
Whoa, you cut off 6 inches! That’s incredible! I hadn’t heard the term “primer” with regard to hair either, Gloria. Basically, it’s a leave-in, pre-styling treatment product. Though it’s similar to It’s A 10 and all those leave-ins, the lavender vanilla scent is truly divine! Thanks for entering, and good luck!
Detangling, smoothing and cutting down on frizz would be what my hair needs!
I have to use a primer every time I wash my hair because it’s so thick & frizzy. I love all the benefits in this one spray – detangles, reduces frizz, strengthens hair, softens, cuts drying time, adds shine, nourishes, smooths, provides thermal protection, AND provides UV protection. Wow! Bonus that I love lavender vanilla scents…
Kim, the lavender vanilla scent is divine! I look forward to washing my hair because of it 🙂 The multitasking aspect is great too. Thank you for entering, good luck!
I’m pretty sure I have encountered this product before. Good giveaway!Good luck everyone
Growing up I had thin, fine hair. Now it is wavy and frizzy! Had some medical issues and it changed my hair into a beast I cannot control! But happy to still have it on my head. Thanks for the opportunity!
I’d love to try something where it does everything I need all in 1 product. Sometimes, I’m looking to save time instead of using 5+ different products. I really love the packaging! Thank you so much for the opportunity!
Glad you entered, Kristi! I hear ya – multitasking is the way to go!
That sounds like a product I’d use! I’ve never tried their stuff but I want to.
I saw this at Costco and considered buying it but I’m glad I waited since it has fragrance. Great giveaway though.
I think all the eva•nyc products have the lavender vanilla fragrance. Too strong for you for sure
Between the benefits and the price, this is a great product!
I’d love to be able to protect my hair from all the time in the sun!
I would love to try this to eliminate the frizz I get daily from the Florida humidity.
UV protection is ABSOLUTELY key! It is really great that you have found products from your beauty box subscriptions that were great enough to purchase full-size versions!
This is intriguing! My hair has seen a fair amount of Damage from coloring, so it’s alwaus great to see a product that treats and is color safe!
This will probably make my hair a bit too greasy but it’ll work for someone!
Ive not heard of a hair primer! Interesting!
i love tryihng new hair care products! xoxo
I think you’d like Mane Magic, Courtney. It makes my hair soft, smooth and it smells great! Thanks for entering and good luck!

I think Mane Magic would help, Kimberly, with both frizz and shine. Thanks for entering and good luck!

A hair primer! i’ve never heard of a hair primer before but i’m so in! id love to try this out.
Basically, eva•nyc Mane Magic is a leave-in treatment, but I guess “primer” sounds like something different, lol. Nevertheless, I think it’s a wonderful product!
This stuff sounds interesting! But I worry that the oils will weight down my hair and make me greasy.
I have fine hair that tangles easily so I would love to try this!
The argan oil in Mane Magic makes tangles a thing of the past. Thanks for entering, Dana! Good luck 🙂

LOL, glad you entered, Debbie! Good luck!
I’d like to try because I blow dry and use a flat iron and this would help protect my hair.
Me, too, Eileen, and I crank that flat iron up as high as it’ll go. Mane Magic definitely helps. Thanks for entering, and good luck!
I need serious help with my hair and the frizzzz!!
Tell me about the frizzzzzz, I know all about it. I use the eva•nyc Mane Magic along with JOICO K-Pack Lustre Lock Treatment and a flat iron, and they really help tame my frizz except for that one week in August, lol. Thanks for entering, Diane, and good luck!
This would be nice. My hair is in dire need of some pampering lol
