URBAN CHIC LOOK 2009 REVIEW!

Wet & Dry Eyeshadow Duo - Chic Plum (8 points of 10)
Quality: 8
Price: $ 10.50
Presentation: 7. It is obviously the company spent more money for the quality of the product and less for the packaging.
Pigment: 9
Color: 10
Texture: 8
Formula: oil-free, enriched with vitamin E to protect the delicate skin around the eyes from the damaging effects of free radicals.
How it stays on for the day: 9
Hypo-allergenic and perfume free. I recommended to everyone with sensitive eyes.
Use: Dry for a natural look, Wet for more intensity

Notes: I usually use a base for my eye makeup because I have very oily skin and by the end of the day my makeup runs. It is amazing how Marcelle eyeshadow didn't crease or run. By the end of the day it looked fine. Very good quality for the price.

Wet & Dry Eyeshadow - Champagne Bubble (8 points of 10)
Quality: 8
Price: $8.50
Presentation: 7
Pigment: 9
Color: 10
Texture: 8
Hypo-allergenic and perfume free.
How it stays on: 9. Longwearing color.
Use: Dry for a soft look, Wet alters its texture and provides you with a deeper, opaque version of the same shade. Once dry, the eye shadow returns to its initial shape without hardening.

Notes: A very good up-lighting for eyes.

2-in-1 Retractable Eyeliner - Amethyst (10 points of 10)
Quality: 10
Price: $10.95
Presentation: 9.A very versatile smudge-proof liner.
Pigment: 10
Color: 10
Texture: 10
Formula: creamy, easy to smudge but long lasting
Hypo-allergenic and perfume free.
How it stays on: 10

Notes: I simply love this eyeliner. It is so convenient. Its flexible sponge tip allows you to easily create a smoky eye while its integrated sharpening tool ensures a perfectly sharpened tip for a precise line. Its ultra-velvety formula is easy to smudge and long lasting. You have about a minute to play with it or to smudge it. Then it stays in place until you use some makeup remover to get rid of it. It is a great smudge proof eyeliner. I recommend this product to everyone. Such an amazing product!

Vita-Lip Plumping Gloss - Nude ( 6 points of 10)
Quality: 6
Price: $10.95
Presentation: 7
Pigment: 6
Color: 7
Texture: 5
Formula: very hydrating
Hypo-allergenic and perfume free. I like the fact the it has no taste or smell.
How it stays on: 6. You have to reapply it every hour.

Notes: I personally didn't like the gloss. It does plump the lips but I don't like the texture. It feels too greasy to me. And I don't like the tube idea but that's just me.

I've been asked many times by both my friends and customers "Which is the best makeup brand that sells in drug stores?". As a makeup artist and skincare expert I use high end cosmetics for years. So, my answer used to be always the same "Drug store makeup is not quite good." That was my point of view until I've got the chance to try MARCELLE make-up. One day someone gave me some Marcelle makeup just to try it. Very sceptically I've tried them on just because I liked the eyeshadow and eyeliner color. I was very surprised to realize how wrong I was. I've tried the eyeshadow without using a base. At the end of the day it looked pretty much the same as at the beginning. It is not a perfect cosmetic line, but it is way better quality than lots of cosmetic brands they sale in drug stores.
