Marcelle Products

Today's post is about two Marcelle products I bought last week (one being a re-purchase) that I think are really great products!  

Marcelle Essentials Oil Free Multi-Defenese Lotion : I mouthful I know!  But this lotion is AMAZING (especially if you have oily skin like I do).  This lotion is actually a re-purchase.  I used to use this lotion about a year ago before I tried Aveeno's Fresh Essentials Daily Moisturizer (I mention it in my Daily Skin Care for Oily Skin here).   I really like Aveeno's moisturizer, but I have to say after I've gone back to this one I find it a lot heavier - most likely because this is a lotion and Aveeno is a moisturizer.  I really like the constancy of this lotion, it has SPF 15 in it, and the biggest thing (for me) is it is oil free!  I have to say, I don't think I'll be trying any other daily lotions for a while, I'll just stick to this one because I know it works for me. 

Marcelle BB Cream in Light to Medium : I've been using this for about a week now instead of my Mac  Studio Sculpt (in NW15), and I've taken a real liking to this BB Cream.  I've tested Garnier's BB Cream (you can read Kelsey's review on it here), and I didn't really like it.  I think what I really like about this one is it have a slightly thicker consistency (which I like to hide some of blemishes and red spots) and covers my face really well.  It's also hypo-allergenic which is great for me because I do get allergic reactions when I put some products on my face.  I know a week really isn't long enough to see if the BB Cream shows results on my face, so I'll do a full review on this product in about a month's time. 

Have any of you tried Marcelle's BB Cream?  And did you think it worked?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Skincare Routine for Dry Skin

Hello Everyone! So Sally recently did her routine for oily skin and I figured it would be best to do my routine for dry skin. That way we have covered a nice variety to help you lovely people find a routine that will help you achieve your skincare goal. Now by no means am I saying this routine is the best routine and if you aren't using these products you are missing out but this is what works for me, and fits into my price range. (added bonus in my books) Anyway, before I continue to ramble on I will just let you watch the video, and below I will re-list the products that I mentioned, their price and where I found them. Enjoy!

Presidents Choice Sensitive Baby Wipes - $5 (tin) $4 (248 wipe refills) - Zehrs

Burts Bees Cleansing Cream - $10 - Walmart

Burts Bees Citrus Facial Scrub - $5 - Target (NY)

Freemans Anti-Stress Dead Sea Mask - $4 - Zehrs

I hope that this routine helped you and I'd love for you to suggest any products for me to try or even some products that you commonly use! Like they say in every proactive ad, clear skin is sexy skin, but I believe if you have reached your skin care goal you will have loads more confidence and be able to shine! 

So... shine on you crazy diamond!
