As I have mentioned in my Marcelle & Annabelle Beauty Premiere post (read it here), one of the most exciting launches for Spring 2012 from Marcelle is indeed their BB Cream.  I'm obsessed over BB Cream, I've tried maybe 10 of those, and I don't think I'm going to stop here!  This is definitely a must-try for me, because it is the first Canadian BB Cream, which makes it awesome (proudly Canadian LOL).



From the press release, this BB Cream is supposed to be a "Multi-tasking Skin Enhancer".  Not only there are multiple ways to use it (as a moisturizer, as a light foundation over moisturizer, and as a makeup base for extra staying power), there are also multiple benefits from using the Marcelle BB Cream!  Let's take a look what Marcelle has to say for this brand new product!

*****
Marcelle® proudly introduces the first Canadian-made BB Cream formulated specially for Canadian women in pharmacies as well as mass retail stores! The Marcelle® BB Cream will be in stores on February 6, 2012.


BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION
Inspired by a trend that perfected skin and enhanced complexions all over Asia, Marcelle® formulated its own BB Cream to cater the needs of Canadian consumers. This multi-purpose skin care cream is more than a tinted moisturizer or simple make-up base. It perfects the skin to reveal a more even epidermis and well-hydrated, flawless complexion, all in one. Ideal for any age and any skin type, the Marcelle® BB Cream comes in two shades and is suitable for a wide variety of carnations thanks to its self-adjusting pigments that transform and adapt to skin tone.

Just two months ago, MARCELLE and ANNABELLE organized an event called the "Beauty Premiere" to reveal the new products they're releasing in Spring 2012.  I was fortunate and honoured to attend the event as a Beauty Blogger.  The event is more like a party.  Everyone was enjoying hors d'oeuvres and wine, while hanging out with other beauty bloggers and checking out those exciting new products!  It was definitely a lot of fun because I get to see my bloggers friends again, and meet a lot of new people as well!

Lovely ladies from left to right: Abigail, Joyce, Jenn, Emily!

The main event, of course is to get a sneak peek of what is coming out in Spring 2012.  First off from ANNABELLE, are these Glitterama liners.  Adding to the existing 7 colours, they are adding a few new ones (as I have been told).  They look amazing, the pink one in particular, and I can't wait to try the new ones out!

*Edit - January 14, 2012 - New information on the new Z-Palette, please see below *

If you were a reader of my old blog (thank you!), then you might remember I had a post about my depotting dilemma.  Well, after months of debate, I depotted.  I first purchased unii palette last year, and then the Z-Palette later in the year.  I also have had my MAC palette for years, and here's a comparison of them all.

UNII PALETTE

OLD version of Unii Palette in Twilight
Brief description:
I first decided to purchase the UNII Palette because of the packaging.  This looks and feels really sturdy.  When you open it up, it has a big mirror inside, which is awesome for travelling (you do not need to pack an extra thing).  I also like that it included a grip inside, so it won't slip away and end up on the ground.  It also has a tight lock that keeps the product secure inside.  UNII Palette has since made an upgrade and converted them into magnetic plated palette, which means any metal pan would stick.


Pros:
  • Huge mirror
  • Sturdy packaging
  • Tight and secure lock
  • OLD version: magnets are provided with purchase
  • NEW version: magnetic plate so that metal pan eyeshadow will stay put without magnets
  • Thumb grip to ensure a tight grip
  • Insulated with rubber to lower the damage from collision
  • A lot of colours that you can find one that suits you for sure

To preface this, I should let you know that I have combination to oily skin and my skin is quite acne prone as well. My acne is mostly the result from hormone fluctuation during the month, so I am usually good for half of the month, and not so good for the other half.  My goal is to find the ultimate skincare range that help me clear up my skin, even during hormonal times.

Although I don’t wear false lashes often, I have quite a few different pairs of them in my collection.  When I asked my friends to buy some more from Asia, one of my friends said: “You bought so many of them, but I’ve never seen you wear them”.  So this gives me a motivation to wear falsies more often.  And lately, my go-to is always Dolly Wink Lashes No.4 Feminine Style.


These have become my go-to false lashes because they are corner lashes, or accent lashes, if you will.  However, these go a little further in than the other corner lashes, but they’re not all the way into the outer corner.  This makes them ultra easy to apply (huzzah!).  They give pretty natural length and an extra oomph at the outer corner.  It might not be the most “volumizing” or doll-like lashes out there, but it gives just what I need.
