What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of BellaFab Matryixl 3000 Serum

*Press*

     Hello Lovelies!
          This is the last and final review of the day since my children are not getting restless on this holiday and my uninterrupted computer time is at an end. But I wanted to sneak in one more review, this time I am reviewing BellaFab Matrixyl 3000 Serum.   Normally, when I think of serums I think of liquids. However, this one surprised me since it has a lovely creamy texture. Honestly, I think of it as an amazing moisturizer rather than a serum. The first thing that I noticed with this product was the faint hint of peppermint. I love the smell of peppermint and I was really happy to receive a skincare product that smells like it. I tested it on my hand first to test for any allergic reactions and I didn't have any issues. It goes on smooth and evenly and it absorbs really quickly. I didn't have an issue with it leaving me with a greasy feeling after so I didn't have an issue with applying makeup on after the serum was absorbed. A little goes a long way so I didn't need a lot to cover my face and neck. As I mentioned earlier there is a faint hint of peppermint so it isn't overpowering and fades quickly. My skin looks and feels healthier and I have been even using some on the back of my hands to help fight the age spots that are trying to develop. After using this product I have noticed that my skin and neck feel tighter and smoother and the age spots on my hands are lightening. I really love this product and I look forward to seeing the results when I am finished with the bottle.




If you would like to pick up your own bottle of BellaFab Matrixyl 3000 Serum you can do so on Amazon. It is currently unavailable, I can only assume is that they are restocking it so I will update this post when it is available again with the price. 










What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Bellafab Skincare Professional Anti-Aging Serum

*Press*

    Hello Lovelies!
      I am doing another review today since I wasn't able to post some this weekend and my little Dreadfuls are actually entertaining one another without fighting so this is a perfect chance to catch up on my beauty reviews. I am reviewing the BellaFab Skincare Professional Anti-Aging Serum today.
   I will admit that I am relatively new consumer when it comes to skincare serums. However it is never to early or to late to start taking care of your skin. I had read some excellent reviews on the benefits of Vitamin C Serums and I was happy to test this product out. I had read that are not only great with fight the fine lines and wrinkles but is also helps correct the fine line and wrinkles that you all ready have as well as help reduce the look of age spots. I applied it once daily, first thing in the morning after applying toner and before applying my moisturizer. I had read that sometimes Vitamin C causes dry skin however I didn't have an issue with it and my combination skin. It absorbs quickly and it doesn't leave me with a greasy/oily feeling afterwards and I have no issues with applying makeup afterwards. I was really pleased with the product and my skin looks more radiant and youthful. The only thing that prevented me from giving this a five star review quiet frankly was the smell. It has a greasy pepperoni smell which was a big turn off especially being a vegetarian. 



If you would like to pick up your own bottle of Bellafab Skincare Professional Anti-Aging Serum you can do so on Amazon. It is $59.99 but is currently on sale for $14.97. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful and until next time lovelies!


What's the Deal Dreadful! Review of Ultra Youth Eye Gel by Pure Body Naturals

*Press*

   Hello Lovelies!
     I am on a reviewing streak today!  Today I am reviewing Pure Body Naturals Ultra Youth Eye Gel. I am extremely pleased with the Ultra Youth Eye Gel. It makes my eyes feel more refreshed and less puffier in the mornings when I don't have enough sleep. It is a thicker gel and slightly opaque. There isn't an overpowering sense of smell which my husband appreciates since he is super sensitive to smells. The gel absorbs quickly so there is no worries about it ruining my eye makeup in the morning nor do I have to worry about a greasy pillow case at night.I have been applying it twice a day both first thing in the morning before applying makeup and then in the evening right before bed. I always wash my face first, then apply my toner and then I use half a pump of the eye gel since a little does go a long way and gently dab around my eyes and gently pat it in. After it is absorbed then I apply my moisturizer. I have noticed that my eyes feel firmer and my dark circles have diminished and the skin around my eyes look smoother. I am super pleased with this product.



You can purchase Pure Body Naturals Ultra Youth Eye Gel on Amazon. It is $49.95 but is currently on sale for $17.95. I hope that you have enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful and until next time lovelies!




What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Valentina Organic Rosehip Oil

*Press*

   Hello Lovelies!
       I am back with another review and today I am reviewing Valentina Organic Rosehip Oil.  I have just recently started trying out various oils as part of my beauty routine, since before I used to think that oils would make my face oilier. How wrong I was! This oil is wonderful and has SO many uses and a little goes a long way. I apply a couple of drops to my face both in the morning and at night and I have started to notice a difference. My combination skin looks healthier and has more of a lovely glow. The oil isn't heavy and doesn't have an overpowering smell. It absorbs quickly so when I apply it in the morning, I don't have to worry about it ruining my makeup. I have also used it as well on my feet since winter is never very kind to my feet. I apply a few drops and working them into my feet and then place socks on my feet and go. My feet are much smoother and softer! My hands also suffer a lot during the winter months so my cuticles look like a disaster. I have been moisturizing them with this and it is working wonders and even my husband has been using it on a few dry patches on his skin. I am really pleased with this product and I look forward to seeing the results after I have finished the bottle.




   If you would like to pick up Valentina  Organic Rosehip oil for yourself you can do so on Amazon. It is listed at for $24.44 but is currently on sale for $13.99. I hope that you enjoyed this What's the Deal Dreadful and until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Poppy Austin Eye Cream

*Press*
  Hello Lovelies!
     I am back again this time with another product review. Today I am reviewing Poppy Austin Eye Cream.  With three kids there are nights when I don't get any sleep especially during the plague season (cold/flu) so after sitting up at night with sick children I have bags that I could check for carry-on luggage and dark circles that make me look like an extra from the Walking Dead. And then add the constant battle with fine lines and wrinkles I am constantly looking for new eye creams to try for the best results.
   So needless to say I am super impressed with this eye cream. It is thick and creamy and applies smoothly. While it is a thicker eye cream, it doesn't leave a greasy residue and absorbs quickly. So there is no issue with applying concealer underneath the eye nor does it cause creasing with your eye shadow as well. There is a super faint smell which it is essentially unscented however I made Mr Dreadful smell it since he is SUPER sensitive to smells and has a super sniffer. He agreed that it was super faint however the closest smell he could associate it to was chai. I however can't smell a thing. I apply this twice a day once in the morning when I wake up before applying makeup and in the evening when I go to bed. A little goes a long way, I only use a half a pump and then I gently dab it around my eyes. I have noticed that the skin around my eyes seems tighter and brighter after a couple of days.


If you want to try out Poppy Austin's Eye Cream for yourself you can pick it up on Amazon for $75.55. However it is currently on sale for $22.55. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful! Until next time!

What' s the Deal Dreadful? Review of Anavita Moisturizing Anti-Wrinkle Cream and Giveaway!

*Press*

Hello Lovelies!
     I am back with another review. Today I am reviewing the Anavita Moisturizing Anti-Wrinkle Cream. I don't know about you but I am literally obsessed with keeping my skin moisturized and attempting to hold back the fine lines and wrinkles that we all get in time. I plan to fight age kicking and screaming while moisturizing the hell out of my face. So when I was approached to review this moisturizer I jumped at the chance.
     When I first received this product it was smaller than I expected since I am used to the GIANT St. Ives Tub o' Moisturizer that I normally use. So I was thinking that it wouldn't even last a month. However I am pleased to report it has and I still have a good portion left over. Anavita's moisturizer is quite thick and creamy. I found that a little does go a long way unlike the thinner moisturizers which seems that you are scooping it out by the cup. Since it is on the heavier side it does take a while to fully absorb into the skin. So you can't moisturize and then immediately apply makeup. So I would suggest that when you do moisturize and want to apply makeup, apply it and then do some other things in order to allow it the full amount of time before applying your foundation (such as your hair, make some tea, pick out your outfit, plot world domination, etc).  The Anavita Moisturizing Anti-Wrinkle cream is made for all skin types which is excellent since my face often all three types (oily , dry and just right) all at the same time depending on the day. I found that it didn't cause me to break out, nor did it dry me out or make me look like I dipped my face in grease. The cream is also cruelty free which is a BIG deal in my book so no cute and fluffy bunnies were harmed in the making of this beauty product.  My skin does feel softer and smoother after using this product and my husband has even mentioned that my skin looked really nice. I look forward to seeing what my skin looks like after I am finished with the jar.





If you would like to pick up your own jar of Anavita Moisturizing Anti-Wrinkle Cream you can pick it up on Amazon for $77.95 but it is currently on sale for $34.77. While this may be a bit pricey for some of you, you can WIN your own jar of this moisturizer since I am giving one away! Just enter by doing the mandatory tasks on the Rafflecopter widget below! It starts tomorrow and ends on the 20th!  I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful? Until next time lovelies!
