What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Aria Starr Beauty Super Retinol Serum

**Press**

    Hello Lovelies,
     I am back with the final review of the day.  For the final review of the day I am reviewing Aria Starr Beauty's Super Retinol Advanced Aging Serum. I know a lot of people claim that this is the product that you need to have when you are in your 30s. However I firmly believe that it is never too late or too early to start taking care of your skin. If you haven't tried retinol before you need to right now. It is like everything wrapped up into one. Retinol not only takes care of fine lines and wrinkles, it also helps control nasty adult acne and even over all skin health. This product arrived quickly and was well packaged. The serum itself was in  a large blue glass bottle with a pump like applicator for easy application. The serum is colorless, scentless and has the consistency of watery gel. It applies easily and dries quickly without leaving a sticky or greasy residue afterwards. One pump is more than enough to cover my face and my neck. However I used two pumps to cover not only my face and my neck but also my hands (which will show age first) and then my shoulders as well. I have been using this twice a day, once in the morning and then in the evening. I wash my face first, then I apply a toner and next I apply this serum. Once the serum is dry I apply my moisturizer. My skin condition has improved greatly. Not only do I not need as much moisturizer since my skin seems more hydrated, but skin looks more refreshed and has a lovely glow about it. I am super pleased with this product.

      If you would like to pick up your own bottle of Aria Starr Beauty's Super Retinol Serum you can do so on Amazon. It is $99.95 however it is currently on sale for $17.95. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Weight Gurus Digital Body Fat Scale

**Press**

    Hello Lovelies,
        I am back with another healthy living review today. Today I am reviewing Weight Guru's Digital Body Fat Scale. Admittedly we haven't had a scale in the house for years, but since my husband and I were wanting to get in better shape it was time to get one to help monitor our progress.I originally ordered the scale and it arrived damage reading weights from one extreme to another for the same person so I contacted the company and they were an absolute joy to deal with. They quickly handled my problem and sent me out a replacement so they have excellent customer service. The scale arrived quickly was well packaged securely in the box. The scale itself is super sleek and thin. I was surprised at how thin it was. As in the product photo there are four metal plates, two on each side where you place you feet. If your foot isn't in contact with the plates it may throw off the scale from giving you a true reading of your weight. It weighs up 400 pounds and isn't a bulky or clunky as the older scales that used only to go up to 300 pounds. It has a nice extra large blue LCD screen which is easy to read however I will admit that my favorite features are the ability for the scale to remember who stepped on it when you set it up for more than one user. It automatically knows who is weighing themselves. I found that I got the best and most accurate results is to place the scale on a flat non carpeted surface. I am super pleased with the scale and how easy it is to use and set up.

   If you would like to purchase your own Weight Gurus Body Fat Scale you can do so on Amazon. It is $79.99 however it is currently on sale for $39.99. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Erin Buchanan's Air Bar Exercises DVD

**Press**
   
     Hello Lovelies!
          I am back again with another healthy living review. Today I am reviewing Erin Buchanan's Air Bar Exercises DVD. As most of you know that follow my blog Mr Dreadful and I are focusing on being healthier this year and working out. I was interested in finding out what an Air Bar Exercise was. Now I did receive an "Air Bar" with my dvd for the review purpose which is a 40" dowel  that had ABX written in marker on the side. While I know that the DVD on Amazon doesn't include the air bar I was a little taken back when I opened the box and there was a dowel with marker writing on the side. While this isn't the official product release, I would suggest that if the company is going to send out the bars as part of the package to possibly burn the ends with then ABX logo to give it a more professional look. I did not include a photo of the bar since it isn't included in the package.

   The DVD itself arrived quickly and was well packaged. I really enjoyed the DVD . I liked the fact that it was created for anyone of any fitness level and it is a LOW impact workout for those of us with bad knees that sound like crispy treats when we get out of bed in the morning.  The instructor was pleasant and likable (and not annoying) and the moves are not complicated. The key to making the most of this workout is keeping your muscles engaged. Which sounds super easy at first when you start however it will kick your butt . I am starting to notice small changes and I am looking more toned and feeling a lot better. I would recommend this DVD since it is doing a wonderful job.

  If you would like to pick up your own copy of Erin Buchanan's Air Bar Exercise DVD you can do so on Amazon. It is $39.97 however it is currently on sale for $34.97. I hope that you have enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Shebah Natural's Vitamin C Serum.

**Press**
    Hello Lovelies,

        Happy Easter to those that celebrate or Happy lots of Chocolate and Candy day to those that don't! Before I take my horde of little Dreadfuls to a friend's house to participate in ANOTHER egg hunt I wanted to post this review. Today I am reviewing Sheba Natural's Vitamin C Serum.  I am always looking for a product that is going to improve the condition of my skin. While I have strived to take care of my skin over the years things such as age spots and large pores have developed. So I wanted to try Sheba Naturals to see what it would do for my skin. The product arrived quickly and the serum itself comes in a small amber colored glass bottle with an eye dropper to dispense the serum.The serum itself is a slightly opaque liquid with a hint of yellow or orange hue to it. I applied this twice a day one in the morning and once in the evening. First I would wash my face, apply toner and then apply the serum. I place a couple of drops in my palm and then apply it gently to my face, neck and even the backs of my hands. The serum absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a sticky or greasy feeling afterwards. Afterwards I apply my moisturizer and I have noticed that after using this product I have cut my moisturizer use in half since my skin doesn't seem to need as much. I have also noticed that my skin looks smoother, feels softer and my age spots and large pores seemed to have decrease. I am super pleased with this product.

   If you would like to pick up your own bottle of Sheba Natural's Vitamin C Serum you can do so on Amazon. It is $85.00 however it is currently on sale for $21.95. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Advanced Hair Repair Shampoo, Conditioner and Argan Oil Hair Mask

**Press**

    Hello Lovelies,
       I am trying to remain sane during this week since I have all three munchkins all day for Spring Break. So between running errands, play dates at the park and just general household stuff I am pooped. But I am back again this time with another beauty review of Advanced Hair Repair Shampoo, Conditioner and Argan Oil Hair Mask. I had read all the benefits of sulfate free shampoos and conditioners and I wanted to try it out for myself. The product arrived quickly and well packaged in it's box. The bottle itself is a large slim red cylinder shaped plastic bottle. The bottle isn't flimsy and will survive an accidental drop or two in the shower with no problem. The shampoo is colorless and has a watery gel like consistency. The shampoo itself has a fresh floral scent which isn't too overpowering and doesn't linger all day. As mentioned by other reviewers, this shampoo does get some getting used to since it is sulfate free. When I first tried the shampoo out, I was wondering where the lather was and if I had used enough so I used a little more. This shampoo does not later like sulfate shampoos since it is sulfate free and sulfates are what causes the lather. I continued with the shampoo and conditioner for the next couple of weeks and I was AMAZED at how smooth, sleek, shiny and healthy my hair was looking. Even my husband commented on how nice and shiny my hair looked and that is saying something.  I really liked the fact that it is made for all hair types so my daughter who has fine wavy hair can use it as well. I am super pleased with this shampoo and my hair has never looked so good.

     This conditioner is fantastic! I love it. After using the sulfate free shampoo and noticing a difference in the lather I was wondering if there was going to be a noticeable difference in the conditioner. There wasn't and difference at all from other conditioner how to use it . The conditioner was creamy, thick, white and opaque and easy to apply and has a light floral scent that isn't too strong or overpowering. After washing my hair with the shampoo, I applied the conditioner and left it on while I continued with my shower routine. It rinsed out easily with no issues and didn't leave my hair feeling greasy or oily. It was so easy to comb through my hair without any tangles and my hair feels and looks silky smooth.

Last but not least is the Hydrating Argan Oil Mask .Surprisingly enough I have never tried a hair mask before so I wasn't sure if I was going to see a difference between using regular conditioner and trying this hair mask. The product arrived quickly and through no fault of the company the bottom of the jar arrived broken. I contacted them and they immediately sent out a replacement. The hair mask comes in a sturdy red plastic jar with a wide mouth and screw top lid which makes it easy it get to the product. The mask is white and opaque with an interesting texture. It isn't creamy nor is it gel like it is somewhat a combination of the two and it smells wonderful.It has a slight floral scent and isn't too overpowering. I followed the directions and applied this after shampooing instead of applying the conditioner and allowed it to sit on my hair for 7-8 minutes. It applied easily and I started at the tips of my hair and worked my way up since my tips had the most damage. There was no issue with it rinsing out easily and my hair is healthier than it has been in years. I continue to do this once or twice a week and my hair looks and feels great!

If you would like to pick up these products you can do so on Amazon. The shampoo is $36 however it is currently on sale for $17.99. The conditioner is also $36 but is also on sale for $17.99 . The Argan Oil Hair Mask is $40 however it is currently on sale for $16.99. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

The serum dries quickly and I have noticed that my skin is more hydrated since I don't need to use nearly as much moisturizer as I did before using the serum.There is no sticky or oily residue after it dries to interfere with applying makeup. It do this twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening right before I go to bed. I have noticed a difference with my skin feels softer and smoother.

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Imbue Naturals' Vitamin C Serum

**Press**

 Hello Lovelies!
     I am back today with a review of Imbue Natural's Vitamin C Serum. I am always looking for a product to help the now appearing signs of aging. I have uneven skin tone, large pores, and an age spot or two. This product takes care of all of these issues and then some. The product arrived in a well packaged white box. The serum itself is in a small amber colored glass jar with a pump applicator. There was a pressurized splat of product when I first tried it due to what I can only guess is shipping so take care with that first pump.The serum has a watery gel like consistency and is transparent with a slight yellowish tint. It really doesn't have a distinct scent  and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily or sticky after I apply it. I wash my face, then apply toner, and then apply the vitamin C serum and afterwards I follow up with a retinol moisturizer then apply makeup (in the morning) .A little goes a long way and only one pump is needed to cover my face and neck. I do this both in the morning and in the evening before I go to bed and I have noticed a difference in my skin. Not only is my uneven skin tone evening out, my pores have gotten smaller and my skin feels more refreshed.I am really pleased with this product.
