Okay so I happen to walk by this line because it was on sale at Pharma Plus and let me tell you how much I love this lipstick. I usually don't bother with the Marcelle line because most of their makeup is too light for my my NC 45 skin. This lipstick is so creamy and moisturizing. When I first applied it, it glided on so smoothly and i did not even need to put lip balm before applying it. It's super pigmented and it has a good staying power. Yes it transfers when you drink something but it leaves enough pigment on your lips that you don't need to reapply. It also doesn't make it all look chunky which is a bonus for me.
I got the shade in Jezebel. This a nude lipstick for me and it's perfect. I also got the Delight Delice and it's a rose colour. It just has enough pink to it that its not super bright. What I love about this lipstick is that it doesn't have a weird smell to it. I am so buying more of this especially the red shade. There are so many shade that I think would look very nice on different skin tone. I'm kind of upset that I did not know about this lipstick before. I would say this is HG category especially for the price. Ladies, if you're canadian and you are reading this you have to pick one up.

Let me start off by telling you that I have eczema on my lips. Meaning, I have never, ever, ever been able to wear lipstick. Which is absolutely awful because I'm obsessed with make up and red lips.
I bought the classic red Amour color. When I first swatched it on my hand I didn't expect it to be so creamy and pigmented- I pressed it a little harder than needed. It is RIDICULOUSLY creamy. It's almost as moisturizing as lip balm (although, because of my stupid eczema lips, i still need lip balm before application). I have tried higher-end brands in hopes that I will be able to wear lipstick but they still weren't good enough (plus, they smelled like lipstick, which I hate.. it smells like twizzlers.)
Thanks to Marcelle my dream of being able to wear lipstick has come true. I love it so much that even when I'm sitting at home doing homework, I put it on. Just cause I can.

I picked this up on impulse, as I've never purchased Marcelle products before, and it was a pleasant surprise! I was looking for a standard, everyday lipstick to wear, and I got just that. I bought 852 - 'Revolution' - which is a carmine shade. The packaging is a simple, deep blue matte tube. Nothing fancy, but I like it. This lipstick is nice and moist, and it has excellent staying power It does its job, and it does it well.

I purchased this lipstick on a whim. I have Euphoria 850 (pearl) and I would describe it as a red- verging on berry lipstick with a pearly sheen. I really love it. Not too heavy and looks nice for a night out (or a more intense day look) on my pale pale skin (somewhere around NC20 with some yellow undertones). It`s pretty moisturizing and not too expensive. The rectangular packaging keeps it from rolling around on my vanity. Overall I`m satisfied with this purchase. The only issue I have with Marcelle is that their color selection is not that great but I`m happy with this particular purchase.

Just saw a new display for about 10 new colours in the Rouge Xpression line at Rexall/PharmaPlus. Marcelle is overlooked - probably because they're Canadian and not easily available elsewhere! They are great quality but perhaps a little 'mumsy'. However, the last few campaigns seem to be changing that image, and there are some bright, vibrant colours in the new selection of lippies, which are creamy, pigmented and hardworking. I picked up 'Cleopatra' which is a gorgeous bright berry-fuschia- a slightly pinker version of MAC Plumful.

Love Delightful so much that I cleaned out one store of their supply. Nice medium mauvey-pink. Brightens my NC25 face and good for everyday. No glitter or shimmer. Creamy and not sticky. My lips feel so moisturized all day. Paraben-free and scent-free. Lasts about 3 hours without eating or drinking. Packaging is sleek black (classy looking IMO).
Today I saw it at Save-On for $6. I think I might try the Curious (medium dark brown) for more dramatic looks.

Love it! Super creamy and the best part for me is no taste, no smell. I usually regret buying any lipstick other than MAC, but I hit the jackpot on this one. I bought Sincerity which is a medium pink, very fresh looking.

I bought this in Delirium, a beautiful tomato red with slight shimmer. It's a nice lipstick, nothing all that innovative but it feels good and the colour stays true.

I purchased this on a whim while trying to kill time waiting for a prescription refill. I must say that this is the best impulse purchase I've made in a long time. The lipstick is not only moisturizing, but it lasts, and lasts even through a cup of tea. I purchased this in a two different shades:
Enchantment - tawny brown (appears dark brown on website)
Euphoria - berry pink (appears more purple on website)
Both shades have a satin finish and are quite pigmented. I find that two coats for lighter shades works best, while one coat with darker shades shall suffice. This feels more like a tinted balm on the lips.

This lipstick claims to have a moisturizing complex to hydrate your lips and add volume at the same time. The formula also claims to prevent dry, cracked lips and restore moisture with it's creamy, velvety and non-sticky texture. It is also hypoallergenic and perfume-free.
From my experience, I feel that my lips appear more plump due to the extra moisture in them and yes, it is creamy, much like Revlon color burst.
Available in 12 shades and retails from $11.95 to 13.99 CDN at Real Canadian Superstore, Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs and Save-on-More.
EDIT: Purchased this in Revolution -- mauve pink and I love it! It is a shade darker than Rimmel Vintage Pink.
