Vitacost product reviews for Deep Steep Volume Shampoo and Glo naturals BB Cream

Vitacost sent me these products to try complimentary for a blog and social media product review. 
Pictures and opinions of products below are mine, no one elses.  

Deep Steep Nourishing Volume Shampoo Description

  • Clean • Pure • Natural
  • Sulfate-Free Haircare
  • Full Body
  • Strengthens & Fortifies with Visible Lift from Root to Tip
Gently cleanses to remove build-up while instantly boosting lift and volume. An exclusive Coconut Milk Extract, rich in Amino Acids, strengthens the hair cuticle while Marine Algae Extract coats each strand for noticeably thicker, full-bodied hair.
Free Of Harsh chemicals, sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes, phthalates and animal testing.
This shampoo is a little expensive being $8.29 vitacost price-I usually splurge and spend $6 on my John Frieda shampoo but this shampoo is a pretty big size and I think it will last me a long time even if I use it every day. I would recommend pouring it slowly into your hand because it is pretty runny and alot will dump at once which will be wasteful, so be careful! (I learned the hard way) I immediately notice the volume in my hair when I use this shampoo. I don’t use any styling aids, just a brush and blow dryer in the mornings. I also love that theres not really a scent and my hair feels really soft after each use. My hair doesn’t feel heavy or greasy or too big after using this shampoo. It reacts really well to my hair-I really love it! I haven’t used the conditioner because my hair is pretty thin and straight so I don’t typically use any conditioner. I would definitely recommend this shampoo for people who want or need volume in their hair!!

This is listed for $7.99 on the vitacost website. I haven’t used a BB cream before because I don’t typically like to use creams. They remind me of heavy foundations which typically makes me break out because I have sensitive acne prone skin. I tried this BB cream a couple days ago and really liked it. I wore it on my bare skin after washing- no other face lotion or makeup. I liked the coverage (I think I need Light though instead of Medium) and I liked the feel of it on my skin. Not greasy or thick feeling. It smelt a little bit like sunscreen. I liked it enough that I would buy again because I know this bottle will last awhile for me. Alot of days I don’t have time to apply makeup so this has the perfect amount of color, coverage and moisture that I need for my skin.  I was pleasantly surprised it didn’t make my face break out or itch.

I got the teal/black size medium and I love the color! I’ve posted several pictures on my instagram page (rdevaughn4) of what it looks like so please check it out! 
I’ve been training for my first half marathon and I sweat alot, so as my miles of training got longer and longer; tissues weren’t helping me any more. They were actually irritating my face and making it burn. I have worn my handana several times. Most recently for a 10 mile practice run and 13 mile practice run. It is definitely going with me to my half marathon next week. In fact, anytime I go outside to do any running or biking-this baby is coming with me!! I know first hand what its like to not have something nice like this to wipe the sweat off my face and I’m never going back to tissues or a rough towel. 
It is so absorbent but doesn’t feel gross or wet on my hand. It didn’t sting or irritate my eyes or face. I have washed it after every use and hung dry and it has kept its original form and washed well. 
I can’t say enough great things about this product!!

http://prettymuddywomensrun.com/

I will be participating in the Pretty Muddy womens only obstacle run in Northern VA on September 28th. I will be doing the 12:30 wave if anyone wants to join me!

I’m excited about this race because I’ve never done a fun obstacle race before! My family and I will be driving up the morning of the race, so I picked a later time so I would have enough time to drive there and back home. I’m still not sure what to wear because I don’t know how muddy and dirty I will get and I don’t  want to ruin any of my clothes! Any suggestions??

I got an email this week with a special code to share with my readers for the Richmond VA race next month!!

Sign up here at the link below and dont forget to use the code “GALPAL” for $20 off!! I don’t know when this code expires so don’t delay in using it!!
