I'm sure by now the majority of you have tried a BB cream. I started out a little bit sceptical, but the adventurer inside of me always seems to prevail, leaving my inner banker quite upset a lot of times. However, in this case I was quite impressed with the Marcelle BB Cream.
I actually purchased it in both the "Light to Medium" & "Medium to Dark" shades. I figured I'd be able to make use of both of them at one point or another, and if not I'd gladly pass it on. I began using the Light to Medium earlier in the summer, and as the summer proceeded, my sun kissed skin began to appear which meant it was time to move on the Medium to Dark.
Firstly I really like the packaging. It comes in a tube with a pump at the end. I think it will be easy to access pretty much all of the product, in other cases, it's hard to get the last bit of product out of the tube which can be a bit of a rip of.
I also love the feel of the BB Cream. It's very smooth and velvety, it blends exceptionally well into my skin and my skin feels really soft after application.
I do want to say that even though the shades are light to medium and medium to dark, you likely couldn't be overly fair skinned or dark skinned to use it. I don't know how well it would work in either extreme really. It's a pretty generic middle skin tone class. Although, it may come in more shades but I'm not entirely sure. These were the only two shades available at my retailer.
I'd say it has a medium coverage level. If my skin is not in revolt, I'd be able to get away with just the BB cream. However, in more cases than not, I need to use a concealer and set it with powder, especially in the heat of summer. Coverage also lasts pretty much all day, depending on what your doing I suppose, but after a full day of work, my face was still pretty much in-tact.
Also, I personally still do use a moisturizer underneath the BB cream. I realize it's not required, but my skin can be difficult to deal with and the better moisturized the better for me!
Overall, I'm really impressed by this product and it will definitely be a repurchased item!
I received this BB cream free after a promotion on facebook, and I must say I LOVE it! I would like to try some other brands though, because I would like one with SPF. However, for now this is a beauty staple!
I prefer Macelle BB cream over any other foundation or creams, my face feels fresh and light and not clogged like other creams.
I'm not a fan of wearing a lot of heavy make-up, especially in the summer. I usually just go with a swipe of blush, mascara and a light lip gloss.
I tried Marcell's BB cream after it was recommended to me by a friend. I have to confess that I love it! It doubles as a moisturizer, and I love a double duty product! It provides even coverage and does a great job of evening out my skin tone. It feels lightweight on and it's not greasy.
I would definitely recommend this product. It's especially great for day when you don't want a lot of heavy make-up.
The price is a little steep but a little bit goes a long way so it lasts.
The cream is very easy to use and it does cover up alot of small flaws on my face. It made my face lokk brighter and more awake. It is a product I would recommend.
I picked up a bottle of Marcelle BB cream (light to medium) one day while shopping at Walmart. I had heard many people talking about BB creams and wanted to give one a try. The box claimed 8 benefits in 1 product, so I decided to try the Marcelle product.
I don't have the box anymore, but I found the following online: "Your age and your skin type don’t matter! This Beauty Balm with self-adjusting pigments, powerful antioxidants, aloe and chamomile does it all for you: (1) Evens out skin tone, (2) Offers immediate and long-term hydrating benefits, (3) Protects from premature aging and environmental stresses, (4) Promotes skin regeneration, (5) Matifies skin and controls shine, (6) Soothes and calms skins, (7) Minimizes the appearance of imperfections and pores, (8) Excellent make-up base provides anti-dull radiant complexion."
I didn't try the product right away because I already had an open foundation, but I decided to give it a try one day. I used it the very same way I use foundation meaning that I applied a face primer first, and then used my foundation brush to apply the BB cream. While it didn't offer the same coverage as my foundation, I really liked the product. It seemed to absorb quickly, and matched my skin tone nicely. My face didn't feel dry or flaky, nor did it feel oily. I wasn't shiny, but I did have a certain glow. I thought that this would be a great product for the summer since it is so lightweight.
I did not continue to use as I was trying to finish my open foundation, and subsequently forgot I had it. (Out of sight, out of mind.) Recently I came back from vacation and on my first day back to work I had to pause. My skin tone was slightly darker since I had just spent a week in the Caribbean, and my foundation would surely be too light. I was at a loss on what to do, until I found the bottle of BB cream in my drawer. Since it is for light to medium, and I was certainly more of a medium post-holiday, I decided to give it a try. I was very pleased! Once again it blended nicely and matched my skin tone.
I continue to use the BB cream every day now, and will probably use it throughout the summer. I will definitely purchase this BB cream again.
I hope you find this review helpful!
I was very happy when, through a facebook promotion, I won a bottle of BB cream! When I first tried it I thought okay, it's only been one day I have to give this a chance. Well the chance is over and I am still not in love with this product. It feels very heavy on my face, and tends to leave my skin oily. It only comes in two shades and my skin is very light, so even their light shade is not light enough for me, and it just does not look natural. I really wasn't impressed.
Got a small tube of this BB Cream to check out to see if it lived up to all the hype. I'd already been using another BB cream for about a month, so I had something to compare it to. This definitely is worth it!! I especially love it for this time of year, it's nice and light, instead of using a foundation. I set it with a nice powder and some bronzer and it looks so great! Just evens out my skin tone and is nice and moisturizing.
Marcelle's BB Cream is great, It keeps skin moisturized without leaving it oily, blends with skin very well, you can wear it under makeup, personally if I don't have much time to get ready in the morning, that is the only piece of makeup I make sure to put on.Its a little on the expensive side, but with this product a little bit goes a long way. Would defiantly recommend this product .
