I’m one of those people that always carries makeup products in my bag. They’re mainly lip products but I also like to carry blush and bronzer if I need to touch up because those are the two products that fade first.
I’m also a big fan of cream products and if they come in a stick form it’s a win win for me. treStiQue is a newer brand for me, I haven’t tried anything from them so I was quite excited when they contacted me and asked me to test some of their products.
They’re a makeup company that make all cream products that come in magnetic stick form. What separates them from other brands who make similar products is that they come with application tools, so you get the product on the top and an application tool on the bottom which is quite useful if you’re on the go or if you’re in a hurry.
I had the pleasure to test out the Tinted Face Stick, Blush Stick, Bronzer Stick, Shadow Crayon and Lip Crayon.
The Tinted Face Stick is a cream gel tinted moisturizer. It provides enough coverage so it evens out my skin tone but still looks natural, It’s the perfect no makeup makeup product. It has a natural radiant finish but doesn’t look greasy on my combination skin. The stick has a nice pink sponge applicator which works with the tinted moisturizer really well, I didn’t need to use a brush I just used the sponge at it gave me a nice even application.
From the Blush Stick I got the shade in Bora Bora Coral a beautiful coral shade that’s perfect for summer. The cream blush has a cream to gel formula and a soft finish. It gives a nice natural pop of color to the cheeks that’s great for every day use. The Blush Stick also comes with a blending brush a the other end of the stick.
The Bronzer Stick is a medium bronze shade in matte finish. It glides really nicely on the skin and it’s great for both contouring and bronzing. It also comes with a brush at the other end which makes blending super easy.
I’m a big fan of cream eyeshadows so I was pretty excited to try the Shadow Crayon in Venetian Gold. The formula of the cream eyeshadow is amazing! The cream eyeshadow is very pigmented so you get one swipe color and as soon as it sets it doesn’t budge all day. It comes with a blending sponge that’s great for blending the crease but I also like to use my fingers. They have six available shades in the line and they’re all very wearable.
The Lip Crayon that I picked out is in Florence Fig and as a surprise at the other end it didn’t have a blending tool, instead it has a beautiful glossy balm in the shade of Rose Balm. Florence Fig is a great every day pinky mauve shade and has a matte finish but it’s very comfortable to wear. You can top the Rose Balm on top of the lipstick for a natural glossy finish or you can use it as a lip primer if your lips need some hydration.
Swatches L to R: Tinted Face Stick in Tenerife Natural, Blush Stick in Bora Bora Coral, Bronzer Stick in Brazilian Bronze, Shadow Crayon in Venetian Gold, Lip Crayon in Florence Fig & Rose Balm
If you’re a low maintenance kinda girl or you don’t want to spend a lot of time on your makeup the treStiQue Sticks are awesome for than. They’re very easy to use and you can quickly do a whole face of makeup in just one swipe. They’re also great for on the go since they have the blending tools on the other end and they have magnetic closure so the caps will never fall off in your bag.
