Marcelle makeup and skin care products were developed for women with sensitive skin. Marcelle has been a trusted brand since 1933, catering to Canadian women’s needs since 1949. Manufactured and designed in Quebec, the company also produces the Annabelle line.

If you would like to buy their discontinued and liquidated goodies, this is the moment for their next warehouse sale as the next one won’t be held until around November. All Marcelle makeup and Annabelle items are $2.25 and creams or lotions are 30%-70% off.

For those of you who have heard about the amazing BB Cream makeup/moisturizer/sunblock, they produced Canada’s first incarnation of it. They now have a BB line of items.

Marcelle sells the number one eye-make-up remover brand in Canada; It is hypo-allergenic and perfume-free  for sensitive eyes. At the sale it will be a lot less than in the retail stores.

All spring 2013 Marcelle skincare launches will be featured at the sale, as well as well as the new Annabelle CC Colour Control lineup.

It’s a good time to stock up on gifts as gift boxes are usually there.  You can be put on an e-mail list to be notified of future sales.

Q1: This week you are going to tell us about NOT shopping in stores.

Just like we have garage sales, there are many manufacturers or distributors in the city that have an annual or semi-annual “garage sale”. They must clear out their warehouse space in order to make room for the next season’s merchandise Sometimes it pays to wait for a certain time of the year to buy. They sell off samples or liquidated items they are no longer producing, leftovers from last season, seconds or lines that never sold well. Whatever it is, the price is always right.

Q2: What can we expect to find at these warehouses?

The products vary as much as retail varies: Quebec designer fashions, toys, bowling balls, fine china, skin care products, home electronics, Halloween costumes, makeup, crystal, duvets and linens, ladies’ bras, perfume, pianos, perfume, flatware, jeans, golf equipment, chocolates, winter jackets, lingerie and, of course, casual clothes for men and women.

Q3: How do we find out about them?

When you attend the sale, ask if you can be put on a mailing list for future sales. If you can’t make the sale, you can try to leave your name with the receptionist at the company for notification. Some have on-line mailing lists.

Q4: Which ones are happening now?

Canadelle, makers of Wonderbra, Dici, and Dici Nova, has clearance sales offering their bras and undies. Sometimes there’s even a few things for the guys. Profits go the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
