    I like the color. Mink Maeve. Was not the lightest one. I have light complexion, and it still gives the shadow look needed to ease the look of droopy eyelids.
    I was using a powder shadow before, but this is easy, mostly because of the foam round pad at one end, which smoothes it with a flick of the hand.
    Hoping this lasts a long time because it really does work well for me.
    It stays on all day. I have not noticed any build up in the lines during the day, but I don't put on heavily.

    Color: 27 Khaki Green ShimmerVerified Purchase
    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.

    I love Julep eyeshadow sticks! The rose shimmer is beautiful and it works really well blended with the Orchid color in the crease of my eye. The formulas are easy to blend, and they stay on! I sweat A LOT and these do not fade off. These sticks aren’t messy and I haven’t had any of them break. They are super easy to use and I can use them in a hurry if I use one color. If I am going out, I use more than one color and blend them together. So pretty! I have almost every shimmer color and metallic colors. I haven’t tried the matte colors yet but I am going to give them a shot too. I know I will love them!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Received a used item! Color had unexpected glitter in it.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    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.

    Color: 35 Desert MatteVerified Purchase
    LOVE this in Desert Matte! THIS is exactly what I wanted and have been trying to get with other products that have turned out to be the wrong shade, the wrong texture, the wrong opacity, or just ended up creasing/smudging horribly. This is like having that "bright eyed" look of your youth back - or looking well rested when you didn't sleep well - in an easy swipe or two! I love this so much that I subscribed to get it every four months. (I bought the primer, too; but I don't like the primer as well [too thin] and do not need it, as it turns out, because the stick goes on and stays on smoothly just fine without the primer.)

    Very smooth, good pigment. Unfortunately I was hoping for more yellow undertone, this one has red undertone. Beautiful color not for me though.

    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.

    Love this product it’s really easy to use, Glides on to your eyelids easily without any pulling, it’s easy to blend and is waterproof so lasts all day which is brilliant, the colours available range from soft shades to dark shades including matte shades so there is a really good range of colours to choose from. I’m happy 100% recommend this product
