Julep Eyeshadow 101 Crème-to-Powder Eyeshadow Stick, Smoky Grey Shimmer

I was hesitant to spend $20 on this waterproof eyeshadow stick after trying Erinde waterproof eyeshadow sticks. What a difference! The Julep eyeshadow goes on smooth and dries to a waterproof powder very fast. It blends easily and looks great. I bought cocoa shimmer, and the color looks exactly like the picture. It's perfect. Living in the southwest, I sweat a lot and regular makeup is gone within minutes. Cheaper "waterproof" eyeshadow sticks stay sticky and don't last. The Julep eyeshadow stick stayed on through sweating, showering, and sleeping! It's definitely worth the money!

I love how smoothly this glided on my eyelid. It was a bit darker than I anticipated, but it was still a lovely shade. The pigmentation was on point, the coverage stayed on all day, it blended well with other colors I used around it. The texture was silky smooth. The crayon did not fall out of the applicator tube when you extended it like many eyeshadow crayons do. I think I have found a new cream to powder eyeshadow to add to my collection. Oh, the tube it came in, I loved the sparkly/shiny coating. It made it look like a higher end makeup.

Great eyeshadow! I purchased several different colors, needless to say only one was a color that I could wear. The shadow itself is great though, goes on easily enough and the built-in smudger in the opposite end of the stick is nice. I personally love the PUTTY shade which looks great when applied lightly but you can apply it heavier for a more dramatic effect. It lasts all day and into the evening! When you find the shade or shades that work for you, stock up if you can so you don’t risk having to wait for the order. I have seen many companies that discontinue products without notice and then you can’t get it at all! This one is definitely worth the money! ******* When you find the shade that you love take my advice and stock up or you may risk the shade being discontinued! I went to order more and my shade is no longer available. 😢

Blends so easily! A go to for any age but mature women will embrace this product! I have several colors in my makeup stash. Highly recommend. Excellent quality. Great value for my money as these last a long time. Easy to fly with and easy to remove at the end of the day. Does not settle into fine lines or wrinkles. What more could you ask for?

As a busy working mom of multiple kids, I need makeup that makes me look like I have my life together—even on the days when I’m running on coffee, chaos, and approximately three hours of peace and quiet! 😂 The Julep Eyeshadow 101 Crème-to-Powder Eyeshadow is such a great addition to my makeup routine. I love that it gives just the right amount of subtle color without being too bold or over-the-top. The shade was exactly what I was hoping for, and it gives my eyes a nice little pop while still looking natural and effortless. It’s perfect for everyday wear when I want to look put together without spending forever in front of the mirror. The crème-to-powder formula also makes glamming up feel easy, which is a huge win when I’m juggling work, kids, and everything else life throws my way. I love makeup that doesn’t require a complicated routine or a professional makeup artist to make it look good! Overall, this is a great option for anyone who wants an easy, pretty eyeshadow that adds a little something extra without requiring a ton of effort. Because sometimes, this mom just wants to look cute without sacrificing another 20 minutes of her day! 💕 Definitely a great everyday makeup staple!

Color is beautiful but it came melted into the lid. Had to scrape it out of the lid into a container."

I love this cream eyeshadow! It makes doing my makeup in the morning so much quicker. I bought it in Sand and Champagne. It’s so creamy and goes on easily without having to press hard. I just blended with my finger instead of the brush because the brush seems to kind of wipe it off. The pigment is great and the colors really make my blue-grey eyes pop. I’m 44 and I would say the shimmer is fine on my slightly crepey eyelids and doesn’t settle into the creases too much. With the right primer, it lasts forever. I have very oily eyelids and this picture is 16 hours after putting it on with primer underneath. Sand is the main color all over my lids and I have Champagne on the upper eyebrow and inner corner areas. Definitely recommend.

I didn't get to try this out because I received a used item. (And it appears I'm not the only one.) I was able to get a close look at it, and I was immediately disappointed with the color "mixture." The item I selected wouldn't have worked for me, regardless of any other issue. I've been curious about these eyeshadow sticks for a long time. I wanted to test them out years ago, but they seemed kind of pricey for my budget. I don't like to spend more than I'm used to on an item I have no certainty will work as claimed. But then my friend told me she bought a stick on discount, and it was a game changer for her. (Easy to use, easy to blend, buildable color, quick application, lasts long, looks natural, etc.) She said she bought more and suggested I at least try one. She insisted they were worth the regular price... finding one on discount was just a bonus. We're very much alike in what we look for in beauty cosmetics, so I was intrigued. I also saw there were a ton more reviews on Amazon than the last time I checked, and the majority of them seemed highly positive. So, I went for it. I felt I had the amount of guarantee I needed to justify testing this thing out. I got the sheer shimmery pink color to use as a highlighter and on the inner corner of my eyes for a brightening effect. But that's not going to happen now. After I received my used product, I took a closer look at the reviews on Amazon - mostly to see if anyone mentioned unexpected problems with the same color I ordered. Instead, I noticed there were quite a bit of people who received what appeared to be used products, too! This is highly disappointing considering this brand seemed to have made a good name for itself over the last few years. I was really excited to finally try their infamously convenient and water-resistant eyeshadow stick. You'd think they'd be more careful about the products they're sending out - especially for what they're charging. My eyeshadow stick was undoubtedly used before I received it. Box was slightly crushed with signs of having been opened. The tip of the eyeshadow was smudged and there was product smeared on the outside of the barrel. If all that wasn't proof enough, the sponge tip had makeup residue on it as if someone fully tried every part of this thing out. I can't speak for the application and wear quality of the item because I'm not willing to risk transferring potential bacteria to my eyes, face, or even the back of my hand. I can say the expectation of the product was not met, right off the bat. I can also add that I was surprised that there looked to be big chunks of glitter in the shimmery sheer pink eyeshadow and on the sponge tip. (I wasn't expecting such large specks of actual GLITTER to be in the mix. It wasn't shown on the advertised photos or explicitly stated that cheap glitter would be used. I did expect some fine mineral-like shimmer, but not cheap glitter.) I'd suggest that if you buy this product, you thoroughly inspect it upon receiving it. Having cosmetics melt or break during shipment is one thing. But being sold a used product (advertised as new) is absolutely unacceptable. Especially, when there's evidence of it be a reoccurring issue for this particular product. I'm debating whether or not I want to try ordering another color - only because my friend was raving about this eyeshadow like it was the best product she has found to date. If I do decide to take another chance, I'd likely play it safe and choose a matte shade. I can handle some amount of "shimmer," but I feel I'm a bit too old and I don't get dressed up enough to decorate my eyes with glitter. (I cannot stress enough: This was straight up large specks of GLITTER - almost like you'd find in a craft store or in young teens' cheap & trendy makeup - mixed in with an otherwise nice looking shimmery/pearlescent color.) I'm just worried I'll get another used product... or that the product was otherwise kept in unsanitary/uncertain conditions before I received it. I just don't understand how this issue could happen so often. (Search thru the product reviews for yourself and count the number of complaints. You may not find it to be excessive, but I do. It really should be more of a rare occurrence. I haven't found this many complaints of used/questionable products when researching other cosmetics I'm also interested in trying.) Also, avoid the shimmery sheer light pink color... unless you're ok with random large specks of glitter. Then maybe go for it. The overall main color appeared nice with some shimmer to it already.

The color is perfect the product is blendable

Not the color I ordered so expensive item of no use and no returns. Really pissed off

bleiben nicht am lid wie versprochen..lösen sich auf ,genau wie andere Gel lidschatten.. sehr enttäuscht für den Preis

Like how it goes on, lasts all day, great color. Instead of using the blending sponge on the stick I used one of my brushes & found it blended great. A number of reviewers noted that it's difficult to remove. I use Micellar Water for all my makeup removal & found it worked quite well on this shadow. Disappointed I can't get some other colors I want or they're very expensive in comparison to the "Stone" color. I looked around on Amazon and found a similar product "Palladio" which from the reviews seems similar to Julep at a much lower price. I'm going to purchase from them & see how their product fairs in comparison.

sehr enttäuscht..produkt ist den preis nicht wert...
