JulepEyeshadow 101 Cream-to-Powder Waterproof Shadow Stick – Sand Shimmer – Long-Lasting, Crease-Proof, Champagne Toned Shimmer Cream Eyeshadow with Built-in Smudger

Had this saved in my cart for a while and finally decided to just try it based on the reviews. At my age (60) I’m all about simplicity in my daily makeup routine and I really appreciate eye crayons. I’m a big fan of Thrive products and have several of their Eye Brightener shadows. But up until recently most of the colors were shimmers, which I have decided don’t look as good on my mature skin.I had a special event coming up so decided to just try this one in a matte color. I’m so glad I did! It was perfect! Color is good with my skin tone, it blends easily with the sponge tip, and it stayed all day. I like that it is perfect for daily wear for work, but it can be layered for a more intense color for evening wear. And the price point is great.Only complaint is that the stick was broken inside the tube, but I was able to just push it back down inside and it seems fine. That’s not the fault of the manufacturer but Amazon’s sparse packaging, so I won’t deduct a star for that.Great product! I will order more.

I decided to try this eyeshadow as a more affordable alternative to a high-end brand, based on another reviewer's positive feedback. I couldn't agree more! The application is quick and smooth, and it works perfectly as both eyeshadow and eyeliner. Once it dries, which happens quickly, it stays put all day without smudging or running. I can also layer it with powder eyeshadow to change up the look. Despite having "experience" lines around my eyes, this product doesn't crease at all. I absolutely love it!

This is my third Julep Shimmer cream eye shadow that I have purchased. I really liked the shadow- it is long wearing, easy to apply and colors are soft and natural looking. However, I’m a bit disappointed in the Khaki Green. It has bigger gold specks in it that make it more of a glitter- and that’s not what I wanted. The other shimmers are shiny without the glitter.

After reading many comments and comparing with other eyes shadow jumbo stick, I finally picked that one and it doesn’t disappoint.I am very pleased with the vibrant color and the ease of application on my eye lid. The “brush” is a plus, I used to have sticks without one and this comes very handySo far it stayed the whole day and remained very colorful. I think I will buy more colors soon.Last thing, what I like about this creamy stick is that it does not spill sparkles or powder under the eye like the typical eye shadows do: very convenient when you like dark shades and colors. Thumb up for this product!

I’ve found my new go-to eyeshadow! The Julep Beauty Eyeshadow 101 is a game-changer for effortless eye makeup. The crème-to-powder formula glides on like a dream and blends seamlessly. Plus, the crease-proof finish means my eye look stays flawless all day!I love how easy it is to apply - perfect for busy mornings or quick touch-ups. And just look at this gorgeous shimmer! ✨ If you're looking for a long-lasting, easy-to-use eyeshadow stick, this is it!

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 very best stick cream eyeshadow. It looks good and is simple to apply. Drys nicely.

Love these eye shadows. They go on smooth and the colors are great. Sometimes they do crease, though.
