    I prefer Macelle BB cream over any other foundation or creams, my face feels fresh and light and not clogged like other creams.

    I'm not a fan of wearing a lot of heavy make-up, especially in the summer. I usually just go with a swipe of blush, mascara and a light lip gloss.

    I tried Marcell's BB cream after it was recommended to me by a friend. I have to confess that I love it! It doubles as a moisturizer, and I love a double duty product! It provides even coverage and does a great job of evening out my skin tone. It feels lightweight on and it's not greasy.

    I would definitely recommend this product. It's especially great for day when you don't want a lot of heavy make-up.

    The price is a little steep but a little bit goes a long way so it lasts.

    The cream is very easy to use and it does cover up alot of small flaws on my face. It made my face lokk brighter and more awake. It is a product I would recommend.

    Got a small tube of this BB Cream to check out to see if it lived up to all the hype. I'd already been using another BB cream for about a month, so I had something to compare it to. This definitely is worth it!! I especially love it for this time of year, it's nice and light, instead of using a foundation. I set it with a nice powder and some bronzer and it looks so great! Just evens out my skin tone and is nice and moisturizing.

    Marcelle BB Cream is AMAZING! I constantly struggle with redness and blotchiness and as soon as I put the BB cream on my face it smooths out the colour of my skin! Not only do I love how the cream cover but I have noticed that my skin is less oily at the end of the day, especially on my forehead! I love how it keeps my make up fresher looking and how I don't break out at all!! I am so happy I was able to try this product!! I have told my friends and family about this awesome product and I hope to continue to use it!

    I have never heard of BB Cream before.

    I have received Marcelle BB cream as a prize on facebook.
    This is supposed to be an 8 in 1 cream
    A tinted moisturizer and make the skin looks more even.

    I LOVE it!

    I used it under my moisturizer. And i've received a bunch of compliments on my skin. No need for foundation. My skin tone looked even, even my lines weren't showing as much,

    There is 2 different tints offered and the price is like really cheap 23.00$!!

    I can't live without it anymore and i'm not using my expensive foundation anymore!

    Yes, Marcelle came up with the first Canadian-made BB Cream formulated specially for Canadian women in pharmacies as well as mass retail stores!

    If you don't know what is a BB Cream - I'll admit it, despite seeing these all over the blogosphere, I was confused before being finally able to try one for myself - well, "BB" stands for Beauty Balm and it's designed to 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.

    Marcelle BB Cream claims to be the ultimate skin enhancer as this Beauty Balm with self-adjusting pigments, powerful antioxidants, aloe and chamomile does it all for your skin:

    Minimizes the appearance of imperfections and pores
    Evens out skin tone
    Provides an excellent make-up base and replaces primers
    Matifies skin and controls shine
    Offers immediate and long-term hydrating benefits
    Soothes and calms skins
    Protects from premature aging and environmental stresses
    Promotes skin regeneration

    I think this product is amazing for girls who are on the go or/and who can't bother with foundation - like me - as it does everything at once! I personally use it instead of foundation because I have found that it unifies my skin tone incredibly well and it's also great to minimize my huge pores. I would say this BB Cream provides light coverage as I had to use concealer on top of it to properly hide the redness around my eyes (damn you eczema!) and conceal pimples or blemishes. That's perfect with me as I can't stand heavy-duty and mask-like foundations anyway.

    Because of my dry skin, I can't use this BB Cream as a tinted moisturizer in the winter but I'm sure it would be great in the summer because it does leave my skin soooo soft and smooth. The only thing is that it doesn't contain SPF, so if you are a lazy gal - like me, again - you will be disappointed to have to apply sunscreen on top of it.

    I assume I was sent the shade Light to Medium to try because I can't find the name of the shade anywhere on the tube, and at first sight I thought it looked way too dark and yellowish for my skintone, but it blends surprisingly well and just disappear to an almost matte finish with just the right amount of glow to make you look healthy,

    I think the packaging is amazing - light, mess-proof and sanitary. A pump is all I need to cover my whole face - OK, I won't lie, I don't apply it on my forehead as it's covered by my bangs anyway - and that's it! No need to worry about bacteria or anything.

    Marcelle BB Cream is available at pharmacies and mass retail stores across Canada for $22.95 for 1.5 OZ / 45 mL. You can also order it on Marcelle website!

    I recently purchased Marcelle's BB cream in light to medium shade, and I am very happy with the product.

    BB cream, to be clear, is not a primer. Primers "prime" your face for make up, much like... er... painting a wall! Beauty Balm is supposed to improve and nurture your skin.

    So far, I am happy with the coverage and the appearance of my skin. I feel like I have more of a "glow" and a natural color. It does even out the tone and coverage is good. Not the same as a foundation or concealer.

    I don't like the bottle it comes in, the pump is soooooo dumb. The first time I used it, I pumped it a couple times before it got going and when it finally came out it sprayed my shirt... BAD first experience! :| It came out though in the wash. If it just came in a squeeze tube, that would be fine.

    It has no SPF, how unfortunate. I have also heard that there is an SPF version in the works, but if not, I will not purchase this again. For a cream that claims to be for the better of your skin, then why no sun protection?

    For the price, you get a lot of cream and a good skin product--but I would look for a an SPF BB cream or wait until Marcelle comes out with one.

    I received a sample of this to review from Marcelle and while I like this product, the price and the quality seem to make it just a more expensive primer. I have problem skin so this is too sheer for me to wear on it's own but as a tinted primer, this does a good job. It's rich and very moisturising which I like a lot but it isn't very pigmented.

    The colour does a good job of absorbing and changing to match your skin tone. When I first tried it on my hand, it seemed to just disappear into my skin! I like to wear this underneath my foundation and over top my moisturiser. I think compared to the Asian BB creams, it is comparable but darker and less pigmented and I find that the Asian ones tend to cover more skincare problem bases (they make anti-aging ones) etc. and this one is thinner and more watery. All in all, I like this product but I'm not sure if I will repurchase. I like the price though= $23 is pretty comparable to other BB creams so it isn't bad.
