Yes, you read that right. Marcelle is bringing BB Cream to Canada!
And it’s coming to Canada! Take a look at this press release and try to contain yourself….I’m pretty excited!
From the press release:
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.
I have used BB creams in Asia-especially when I was living in South Korea. They were a fantastic alternative to foundation! I can’t wait to try this out! I am interested to know how they have formulated it for Canadian consumers (does that mean ingredients or texture or a combination of both?).
