Review
These cream face sticks come in six gorgeous shades and
retail for about $8.
So, for under 10 bucks you can have a makeup stick that will cover almost all of your product needs.
I bought mine at Ulta and picked out the shades Vanilla Ice Cream, Lemon Meringue, and Blueberry Muffin.
A truly tasty trio of shades (alliteration at its finest).
The three additional shades that I didn't purchase (yet) are varying degrees of bronze.
When they called these sticks “multi-use” they were not
kidding.
Each stick can be used as an eyeshadow, highlighter, blush,
bronzer/contour, and lip color.
They pair nicely together and layer well too.
Another cool aspect of these sticks is the bottoms twist up so you don't need to worry about sharpening!
The cream formula is beautifully blendable. They are soft
enough to blend with just your fingertips so they melt into your skin and
give you the loveliest lit-from-within glow.
But they aren't so soft that they break upon applying normal pressure.
They have a stunning pearl finish that is also just the slightest
bit dewy.
They give the skin a multi-dimensional shine that changes depending
on the lighting of the room.
Coverage for these sticks is truly buildable.
You can get
a sheer effect by just adding a few strokes of a shade and blending it out with
your finger. Or you can get a super saturated look just by adding more layers
of the shade.
Quick Stats

Formula: Cream
Fallout: None
Smudges/Steaks/Runs: No/No/No

Lasts for: Approximately 6-hours
Shade: Lemon Meringue Pie
A coppery bronze with a gold pearl finish.
Lemon Meringue works great as an eyeshadow, bronzer, contour, or even a lipstick.
Shade: Blueberry Muffin
The iridescent pigments give a gorgeous finish that sparkles violet, blue, or white depending on how the light catches it.
Blueberry Muffin works well as a lip color, blush, or an eyeshadow.
Shade: Vanilla Ice Cream
Snow white with a silver/white pearl finish.
Although the finish on Vanilla Ice Cream is pearl, it also has a beautiful frosty appearance that is extra pretty on the eyes.
Pros: Ultra blendable.
Incredibly buildable and perfect for layering.
Fantastic pearl finishes for a stunning glow
Even once it starts to fade it still leaves a pretty highlight.
As with most cream formulas it begins to fade after a few hours.

Tutorial
Now that we have explored the absolute beauty of these face sticks, here is a tutorial of one of the many ways you can use them.
You can catch my video tutorial here
1. Lemon Meringue Lids: Use the highlighter stick in the
shade Lemon Meringue (Copper-Bronze shade) and swipe it all over your eye lids.
Then use your finger to blend and soften the shade.
Blend it up just a little
into the crease of your eye.
2. Vanilla Ice Cream & Black Eyeshadow: Next
grab the shade Vanilla Ice Cream (Snow White shade) and run that through your brow bone.
Smudge that with your finger bringing it just out of the outer corner of your eye.
Also, add Vanilla Ice Cream to the inner corners of your eyes and just at the beginning of your lower lash line.
Gently use your finger
to blend the shade into the inner corners and lightly towards the bridge of your nose.
Take a matte black eyeshadow on a small angled brush and
lightly press it along your top lash line, just for a little definition.
3. Mascara + a Second Slice of Lemon Meringue:
With a volumizing mascara coat your top and bottom lashes.
Take the Lemon Meringue shade once more and trace in between
your cheek and jaw bones.
Use your fingers to pat and blend the shade into skin for a soft
contour effect.
4. An Extra Scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream: Use the
Vanilla Ice Cream shade to cover the tops of your cheek bones and down the bridge
of your nose.
Use your fingertips to melt the color into your skin for a nice
highlight.
5. Blueberry Muffin a la Mode: Take the shade Blueberry
Muffin (Magenta shade) and glide it onto the apples of your cheeks.
Again, use
your fingers (not a lot of brushes for this tutorial) to blend the color in for an
iridescent glow.
Swipe more Blueberry Muffin onto your fingertip and rub it onto your lips.
Top it off with some extra Vanilla Ice Cream blended just
onto the cupid's bow above your top lip for some additional highlight.

Lemon Meringue worked beautifully for a bronze-y copper eyeshadow.
And it melted nicely into the skin for a subtle contour effect.
And is a gorgeous iridescent lip color too.
It provides a stunning highlight for the eyes, cheeks and the upper lip.
