My thoughts:  I haven’t been using this mascara diligently, so I can not say it’s has made my lashes any longer or thicker, but I can say the times I’ve used it, I really liked the results. This mascara provides good length and fuller lashes. The soft polymer brush, with a row of longer bristles really helps with application. It reaches even the shortest lashes and stretches them from root to tip to reach their maximum lengthening potential for a lash-extension look.

This Spring, Marcelle introduces two new shades of its 2 in 1 Retractable Eyeliner – Azurite and Purpurite. The easy-peasy creamy and already-sharpened tip of this waterproof long-wear (12 hours+) eyeliner makes it easy to apply. Plus, with its integrated smudger-sponge, you can turn any line into a smoky eye.

My Thoughts: I tried out the eyeliner in Azurite, a bold, gem-toned blue. Initially I was a little worried about the blue. I don’t wear blue eyeliner and even if I wanted to, I don’t think it would compliment my hazel eye colour very well. I gave it a shot and actually like it - a lot! The blue is deep enough in colour that it doesn’t look tacky or out of date. I like the pop of colour it brings to my eyes. It glides on easily and the integrated sharpener makes sharpening very convenient. Just pull it out and sharpen. The eyeliner stays put and didn’t smudge. It does wash off easily which is good since you don’t want to be pulling or wiping the eye area too much.

- Tested under ophthalmological control
- Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers
- Paraben free
- Hypo-allergenic and perfume free

My Thoughts: The colour I tested was in Universal Light. I found it was a good match for my eyebrows which are a light/medium shade of brown. This is a straight-up marker and applies like one. Since I don't need to fill in my eyebrows and only used it to fill in slightly sparse areas, it worked well for that. This pen will not budge once it’s on, you won’t have any smudges all day. It washes off fairly easily, but does leave a greenish tint stain. Overall I just don’t find it to be a suitable product for me. I think the suggestion to use it to cover up grey hairs is great idea and have no doubt it'll work great for that.
