Beauty Review: Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream + Contest
WHAT:
Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Eye Contour Cream
THE PROMISE:
From the website:
“Prevent the first signs of aging with this ultra-light and non-sticky cream that penetrates skin instantly; allowing you to apply your make-up immediately.”
“Enriched with high performance ingredients, this unique care will increase micro-circulation, reducing puffiness and dark circles. It deeply moisturizes and protects the delicate eye contour area.”
PRICE:
$27.50 CAD for 15 ml
PROS:
An eye cream that does it all! Hypo-allergenic and perfume free. Affordable price
CONS:
The light texture might not be suited for really dry skin. The pump also dispenses a little too much per application and you end up getting more than you need. With eye cream, I find that a very little amount is suffice.
THE VERDICT:
This is a good start-up cream that battles the first signs of aging for people who want to kick start their skin care routine. The cream provides hydration (it got rid of my dry lines 
and combats fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. I don’t think that this cream will cure everything but as a basic eye cream, I think that this is a very good choice. It has a gel-cream texture so this is suitable for people with normal and combination skin.
4/5 ****

I like the Marcelle eyeshadows. They have great color selection.

I haven’t tried anything other than the Marcelle eyeshadow so i will post a budget beauty tip that works for me. Vaseline, it is super cheap and works great on dry skin and put it around your eyes when you sleep and it elminates lines. I heard this tip from Tyra Banks. Lol.

Marcelle’s Gentle Make-Up Remover for sensitive eyes is amazing. The first one I’ve found that does not sting. And it works on waterproof mascara…love it!
December 8th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
I love there tinted moisturizers…. easy to use and blend in for quick cover on the go.

I have never tried Marcelle before, but here’s a beauty tip: after taking a shower, immediately rub body lotion on yourself. It seals in moisture, very important since now it’s winter time and the air is dry.

my sister last year bought me some lipglosses from Marcelle. They come in beautiful colours and wear very well
December 12th, 2009 at 12:22 am
I love your work.
December 12th, 2009 at 10:50 am
I’ never had the chance to try marcelle because none of the stores have it around where I live…so my favourite beauty tip is to clean brushes after use to keep them soft and make them last longer
December 12th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
I like Marcelle’s lipglosses. Nice selection and not sticky.
December 13th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
[...] is just a reminder that I am giving away a Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles eye cream to all my Canadian readers. I’ve been using it for a while now and I am quite happy with the [...]

I’ve only used their makeup wipes, and they’re not too bad.
December 14th, 2009 at 12:36 am
love Marcelle’s lipgloss. it’s a great deal and you only need a little to last a long time. it’s not sticky at all and leaving your lips really moisturize at the same time.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:17 am
I have used quite a few of their products over the years and love how clean they are. My favourite product though would have to be their eyeshadow – especially the navy blue/silver combination. I would love to try the antiwrinkle eye cream!
December 14th, 2009 at 6:53 am
I love Marcelle’s makeup remover! It is lightly scented and does an excellent job of removing my makeup without irritating my skin.
December 14th, 2009 at 8:11 am
I really like their new AC Oilfree moisturizer, its great for combination skin and oil control!
December 14th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I’ve used the Marcella eye shadows and have been impressed. I’m new to using eye-cream products, so would be excited to try them out.
December 14th, 2009 at 9:24 am
marcelle has really nice eye shadows that blend and stay well!

Budget Beauty Tip: when you need a haircut, check craigslist for beauty school students advertising for models. I’ve gotten 2 excellent haircuts this way, both free.
December 14th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I love the marcelle eyeshadows and makeup remover. both very friendly on the skin and does what it promises!
thanks for thie giveaway!
December 14th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
I’ve used their tinted moisturizer in the past and it worked very well!
December 15th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Hi,
My favourite Marcelle product is the Hydra-C ComplexE Eye Contour Gel-Cream. Its been my all time fav eye cream. It is very light and the pump is great. I notice that it reduced my dark circles as promised!
December 16th, 2009 at 11:52 am
I love the marcelle eyeshadows, especially the wet and dry slate duo
December 17th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
My favorite budget beauty tip is the egg white pore reducing face mask.
December 19th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
My favorite budget makeup tip is to stack coupons to purchase my makeup at London Drugs. I’ve also discovered that you can create a simple lip gloss to match your makeup my combining vaseline and different powdered blush shades. This is very simple and it costs $0 if you use things you already have at home!
