I received this mascara as one of my prizes from a giveaway on Lelo Artistry <- check her out, she's a lovely make-up artist! Marcelle is a Canadian brand, and I'm not sure if you could get it in the states, but you can check out their page here.

BRAND: Marcelle
PRODUCT: Volume Precision
PRICE: 11.95CAD
AVAILABILITY: Canada & MarcelleCosmetics.Com
PROS: Defines, Separates, Volumizes & Creates a "Fan-Out" Effect
CONS: Uncomfortable Applicator


Marcelle is a Canadian brand - with affordable prices and sleek packaging. I'm usually very picky when it comes to mascara and was pleasantly surprised of how well this mascara worked on my lashes. Here is what the site had to say:
"VOLUME PRECISION, the longwearing mascara by Marcelle ensures buildable volume and definition like you’ve never experienced before.

Its ultra-flexible polymer brush with microchambers seizes lashes one by one, without clumps. The bristles come in variable lengths and are cleverly aligned to ensure clean, precise definition.

Enriched with oil olive and rice brand wax, the revitalizing lightweight gel formula provides maximal volume without any heavy feeling.

Hypo-allergenic and perfume free."
The formulation is somewhat wet, so it takes a just a bit for it to dry. I do like that I can apply 2 or so coats and lashes don't clump up. This mascara holds up a curl pretty well, but I do find my lashes to droop after about 5 hours of wear (if I just do one coat, it lasts all day - so I guess it depends). If I wait for each coat to dry, I do find that this mascara flakes off just a tiny bit. Through out the day, I don't find this to smear or smudge in any way regardless of it not being waterproof. Definitely a plus if you have oily lids. The pigment is also very black. Below are the effects you can achieve with this mascara.



The applicator does a nice job on separating and "fanning out" my lashes but its feels very uncomfortable. It tends to be scratchy and I sometimes poke my eye even when I'm careful. So what I do is place the applicator on to my lashes and blink (LOL). So if I had the chance to buy this mascara, I might not purchase due to the fact that the applicator irritates my eye. If Marcelle does ever change the applicator (i.e. making it more comfortable for application), I would purchase. If you have sparse, light and short lashes, I would recommend this mascara. But if you find that your lashes tend to droop, I wouldn't recommend this unless you can find a waterproof version.

DISCLAIMER: This was sent to me as a prize. My thoughts on this are based on my personal experiences with this product. For more, please see disclaimer.

  9. Thank you for a full review (packaging, formula, aplicator, pigment, etc.!). I guess the brush is a "like it or hate it" thing because many other Canadian beauty bloggers love it. Lol. It can certainly take some getting used to but what is usually the convincing point is those seperated, lengthened lashes ;o) Thanks again for a great review.
