Marcelle

I’m 16 and I’ve been wearing makeup for about 6 months now. Foundation just never looked right on my skin since it was cakey looking so I bought this at shoppers to try out. If you moisturize before this, you WILL have a very nice and natural makeup look. The coverage is light to medium and looks matte and skin like when applied. Dries pretty fast since it’s matte, so you should blend it with a damp sponge. Only thing wrong is that it oxidizes halfway through the day and looks slightly more yellow/dull, however it stays put. I recommend putting on some translucent powder to set your makeup to combat the oxidation. Although the package is not that big, the bb cream lasts for a very long time! (Assuming you use 2-3 squirts a day) it lasted me roughly 4-5 months since I don’t wear makeup on weekends!

I used several large cotton pads on and woke up to find eye makeup smeared under each eye. Plus, my mascara was washable, not waterproof! Back to Clinique.

This cleanser is just what I was looking for! I needed to find a new cleanser because the manufacturer changed the formula of the cleanser I’ve been using for over a decade. I just needed something simple that does not break me out or irritate my sensitive skin. I tried two kinds of Cetaphil due to the great reviews but they both broke me out unfortunately. This Marcelle cleanser foams just enough, and is not drying. It does leave your skin with a bit of that squeaky feeling which I don’t care for but also don’t mind. It’s also free of parabens which is great. I’m hoping this cleanser is available for years to come!
