Okay, so I’ve tried a LOT of cream blushes, but this Julep stick? Game. Changer. The Golden Guava shade is this perfect warm peachy-pink that looks like I just came back from a tropical vacation (even if I’ve been binge-watching Netflix all day).

The texture is SO creamy—it glides on like butter but dries down to this soft powder finish that doesn’t feel sticky or heavy. And can we talk about the blurring effect? My pores literally look airbrushed. I use it on my cheeks AND lips for that monochromatic vibe, though heads up—it’s a tad drying on lips unless I layer balm underneath.

Pro tip: Start with ONE swipe—this baby is PIGMENTED. I learned the hard way when I accidentally gave myself clown cheeks (RIP my Zoom meeting dignity). But blended out with fingers? Chef’s kiss. Lasts all day without fading, even through my 3pm coffee run.

Only con: The packaging doesn’t retract, so mine chipped a bit in my makeup bag. Still worth it for how good it makes my skin look!
