Marcelle

This is my go to cleanser. This economically size bottle cleanses my skin well but not overdoing it. My skin feels clean and light afterwards.

I occasionally would try other cleansers but would always compare it to this one. Eventually, I would find myself going back to this Marcelle.

One of the best drugstore brand cleanser around and comparable to more expensive counterparts.

I bought this in a jumbo format of sorts, because I’d always heard good things about Marcelle’s skin care and I was also looking for a day cream with SPF.

This lotion meets all the criteria: - it moisturizes well (for my normal to combo skin) yet is light enough to provide good base for makeup – doesn’t clog pores – has spf 15 yet doesn’t leave a white cast on my darker skin – doesn’t smell like sunscreen or much else for that matter.

I usually smooth this on after washing my face and applying some toner and I really like how my skin looks nowadays. I think this lotion alone may be a bit too light for someone with dry skin but it’s perfect for normal skin. I think what also helps me is that I use a thicker cream at night so my skin doesn’t require a crazy amount of hydration in the morning. I’m willing to shell out big bucks for eye cream and night cream but for a mild day lotion, this does the job perfectly so I will definitely repurchase when I run out.

Marcelle is a Canadian brand based out of Montreal. It's the parent company to Annabelle cosmetics which is marketed towards a younger age group at a cheaper price. That being said, this mascara is IDENTICAL to Annabelle Le Big Show mascara. It has the exact same ingredients, tube and brush. It's essentially the same mascara. So if you like this mascara save yourself a couple bucks and Le Big Show.

I own both and they deliver nice volume but a little smudgy.

The shine felt looked more like oily skin on my combination skin vs dewy glow like melthing a bit in hot summer heat without the sweat.. lol but wouldn't use this as the color comes off as the wrong foundation purchased :/ it does not blend seamless into my skin tone but I'm on the light skin tone side.

I bought this foundation on sale, tried it one day and immediately returned it the next day. It looked great going on, didn't oxidize too much but by the end of the day I was quite embarrassed by the way it looked. (Even though I know no one is looking that closely) It managed to emphasize my dry patches and make my skin look flakey-ier! My oily parts looked and felt sooo greasy and gross. And also, it sank into my pores making my face look awful, I washed my face as soon as I got home and went back to the store. But the packaging is nice though.
