Julep Eyeshadow 101 Cream-to-Powder Waterproof Shadow Stick – Champagne Shimmer – Long-Lasting, Crease-Proof, Medium Golden-Beige Shimmer Cream Eyeshadow with Built-in Smudger

Excellent eyeshadow at a very reasonable price. Easy to apply, and it lasts throughout the day. The colors are beautiful and subtle. Great for everyday or special occasions. Nice range of colors!

Easy to apply and stays put all day with no smearing. I use the taupe shimmer. It is a subtle shimmer and suitable for any occasion. I use it everyday and hope it never goes out of stock.

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.

This is wonderful eye shadowI I can't praise it enough. It goes on smoothly, evenly, the color is brilliant, it makes my brown eyes really pop. Lasts a really long time, at least a work shift and then some. I always carry my make-up with me in case touch ups are nessesary.

Love this color...love these eyeshadow pencils. Easy to use. Glides on and blends well.

Lovely but overpriced so returning it.

I'm a sucker for a good lid color that doesn't scream. This eye shadow crayon gave the best color and blended so well with my other eye shadows. It goes on creamy, and I didn't experience any creasing or flaking. I used Urban Decay Primer Potion eye primer underneath. The little sponge tip made the product easy to blend. The only reason I left off a star is that I felt like I really had to drag the crayon across my eye, and at my age I don't like pulling on that skin anymore than I have to. But of course that may not be an issue with younger eyes!

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.

I use this shadow stick as eyeliner, because it's easy to apply without a mess. I would love it if you had a slightly thinner one, but not too thin. Also, if you had a bigger size than the .32 oz. $18 is a lot for a crayon that doesn't last me very long. Some colors are more expensive than others. Not sure why. It spreads easily, but even though it's waterproof, it tends to smudge a lot. Good product. A bit pricey for what you get. Julep has it cheaper, but it's a smaller size and you get charged for shipping.

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

Love how easy it is to apply and how long it stays on. The color I got was green and it is beautiful. I will buy again.

I recently tried the Julep Eyeshadow 101 Cream-to-Powder Shadow Stick in Taupe Shimmer, and it’s so easy to use! The creamy formula glides on smoothly and sets to a soft powder finish that stays put all day without smudging.The taupe shade is versatile, perfect for a natural daytime look or building up for a subtle smoky eye. I love that it’s waterproof, so it lasts through long days without fading. Quick, fuss-free, and flattering—this shadow stick is a definite staple for any makeup bag.

The color is perfect the product is blendable
