I am very excited to share this article with you all!
I’d been feeling the February blues lately but the Marcelle Cosmetics & Annabelle Cosmetics have come to my rescue!
There is nothing that beats feeling down like feeling beautiful and I certainly felt wonderful after spending a few hours playing with these goodies I received.

If you’re a woman in Canada chances are you’ve spent time in a store browsing the fabulous products from Marcelle & Annabelle. These products have been around for quite a while, I’ve personally been using them since I was a teenager. For years I looked forward to going to the department store and leisurely spending time brushing all the new colors onto my skin.
“Canadian women’s trustworthy beauty partner for almost 75 years, Marcelle is the cosmetics and skin care brand that offers every woman high quality, effective and affordable products. Hypoallergenic and perfume-free; women of all ages believe in Marcelle products.
What’s Marcelle’s motto? To offer a wide choice of skin care and cosmetics products that satisfy the needs of today’s women on the go – everyday solutions that let her be simply beautiful inside and out at every stage in her life.
To provide helpful and simple to use skin care products designed to make the lives of today’s woman easier. Our products are high performing and reliable and that’s why they appeal to every generation of woman!”
“Annabelle is a little nice, a little naughty and lots of style.
A bit of a rebel, a natural trend-setter, edgy and incredibly versatile. Annabelle is the one with the latest and trendiest shades that make us want to rush out and get the look. Colour is her instrument of change, letting her reinvent her style and makeup to suit her ever-changing moods, from goddess to rock star to fashion diva! She is daring and bold and demands the same from her makeup brand, a perfect combination of glamour and efficiency.”
Of course after opening the package I occupied my children with a craft and headed into the bathroom to try them out.
First I applied the SkinTrue Pressed Powder – Medium first which went on beautifully. It provided me with a light full coverage but was light on my skin and didn’t wear off quickly.
For my eyes I went with the Trio Eyeshadow– Crème Caramel which gave me a soft velvety day-time look. The colors were perfect for me, I’m not a skilled artist when it comes to my eye makeup but I loved the how-to videos available on the Annabelle website.
Marcelle’s 2 in 1 Retractable Eyeliner went on beautifully, even with my poor eyesight I was able to achieve the look I wanted and was complimented well by Le BIG Show Mascara – Black.
The Duo-Blush – Glow Show matched my skin tone well, I loved that it was light upon my skin and accentuated my cheekbones softly.
Finally I fell in love with Rouge Velours Lipstick – Adrenaline – 210, it’s become my staple makeup item and never lets me down!
Realizing it was only 4pm and I wasn’t going anywhere I decided to try out the Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover Pads, frankly I was surprised! They were so effective, removing all of the eye makeup I’d applied in just a few strokes. These little pads have saved me so much time when I’ve wanted to reapply my eye makeup throughout the day!

Marcelle sent me their BB cream to review and that was it – I absolutely fell in love with it and even though it’s a BB cream, it’s completely replaced my Laura Mercier hydrating foundation which at the time I didn’t realize how heavy it was on my skin.
I have eczema prone skin, so Marcelle is the only products I can use on my face right now, which is why I contacted them to see if I could use their BB cream lol. Yay! Thanks for the giveaway, this is great!
I would love to try the Wet & Dry Eyeshadow – Amazone by Marcelle.
