Hey Guys,Today I'm going to share a brand I'm really excited about. The brand is called treStique and they are all about simple and quick beauty. I heard about the brand years ago when I got a mini shadow stick of theirs in my Ipsy Glam Bag. I remember really liking the product and even including it in one of my monthly favorites. Flash forward to 2020 I was re-introduced to treStique and I looked into it some more. I was very intrigued by the whole idea of "simple quick beauty". I have never been able to do my makeup quickly but with COVID and wearing less makeup in general, I really liked the idea of this. Their products are meant to be quick and easy for the mom or woman on the go or for someone that just doesn't want to spend a lot of time doing their makeup. treStique products are about convenience and are meant to enhance your natural beauty. The product lines cover everything from foundation, concealer, shadow/liner/mascara, brows, bronzer, concealer, and lip products. You can purchase these products individually or in sets. They even have mini sets if you don't want to commit to the full sizes just yet. The best part, all treStique products are super travel friendly! Keep reading to learn more about these products and to hear my thoughts on each.
Here is treStique's mission statement: "Our mission is to make shopping for makeup online easier with all in one makeup products. We offer high-performance, cruelty free cosmetic products and customizable makeup routines. Our easy to use makeup and beauty products are made to carry in zero-mess, super organized travel makeup bags."
As mentioned, treStique products come in full size and mini. These are the full sized products. All full sized products have two ends. On one side is the product and on the other is a brush for application or an additional product. The full size products are also magnetic so they can easily stick together in a makeup bag or purse. treStique also offers these cute travel/carrying cases for their products to keep all your products in one place!
Shadow Crayon in Tahitian Shimmer $24.00
Here is what is said about this product on the treStique site:
"Our mantra: eye shadow should be easy—and super fun. Meet our new + improved eyeshadow sticks based on our original best-selling shades (and including some new, fun ones!). These eyeshadow crayons are more blendable, more flattering and longer lasting. This new cream shadow stick formula applies and blends easily to create a soft, shimmering look for day or night. The silky smooth texture of these eyeshadow sticks glides on effortlessly without creasing (no primer necessary) and locks onto lids for a long wear time. One swipe of our shadow sticks gives you richly pigmented color, while the built-in eyeshadow brush lets you shape and blend however you want.No messy palettes. No broken powders. Just glowy, shimmering color."
On to my thoughts:
As I mentioned above, I have already tried these shadow crayons and am a fan. The other shade that I tried is Venetian Shimmer. It was a gorgeous shimmery gold that I reached for pretty often. I almost chose that shade to try out again because I liked it so much but I decided to give another shade a try. I had a hard time figuring out what shade to get because they all looked so pretty! I ended up choosing Tahitian Shimmer which is a taupe-bronze shade and just as gorgeous! It's perfect for day or night and super easy to apply. I apply it directly to my lids and then use the brush end of the crayon to blend out the edges. This color lasts all day with creasing and also layers nicely over other shadows. I went into Boston last weekend and after a long day I touched up my eye makeup with this shade. It was super quick and easy and gave life back to my makeup look.
Brow Pencil in Americano $24.00
Here is what is said about this product on the treStique site:
"A super-sleek, triple-threat Brow Pencil that defines, sculpts and sets in seconds. A triangular-shaped, cruelty-free eyebrow pencil that allows you to define and gently fill sparse areas while the flexible-hold tinted gel grooms and sets hairs perfectly into place. Our vegan eyebrow pencil features an angled tip to create natural, precise strokes to shape your brows. This dual-ended eyebrow filler gives you a your-brows-but-better look that lasts."
On to my thoughts:
I wasn't sure which brow shade to get at first because I don't like using dark brown brow products as I like a lighter brow. I was going to get the shade Latte which is more of a blonde shade but went with the middle toned shade Americano. I was nervous it was going to be too dark but its not at all. It's a perfect match for my brows. The brow pencil has a triangle shape which allows you to fill in your brows quicker. Its not super soft but makes for a more natural brow. You can easily fill your brows in without going too dark which I like. I prefer less creamy brow products because I feel like they give your brows a more natural look. The other side of the brow pencil is a tiny tinted brow gel for finishing off your look. I have really long brow hairs so brow gel is a must for me. I was really happy with how my brows looked after using this product.
Here is what is said about this product on the treStique site:
"Lightweight matte lipstick + high-shine, ultra-moisturizing BB balm. Flaunting a dual-sided design, this matte lip crayon is made for easy application and an array of looks. Opt to use the lip balm for everyday moisture with a kiss of color, or layer it on top of the crayon lipstick for a glossy, moisturizing lipstick effect. Use the pointed tip of the lip crayon as a lip liner to create a long lasting matte lipstick look."
On to my thoughts:
Again, I was stuck trying to figure out which shade to pick out for this product. Nantucket Nude or Florence Fig. I went with Florence Fig because its a bit more pigmented and more versatile. It is also their best selling shade. I really like the formula of this and the fact that you can line your lips with the crayon and then fill them in all with one product. There is also a super cute lip balm on the other end that you can use on its own, before applying the matte lip product, or on top of the matte crayon to create more of a satin look. The product lasted a decent amount of time but you do need to re-apply after eating and drinking. This is a great shade and I have been reaching for it a lot.
Bronzer Stick in Brazlian Bronze $28.00
Here is what is said about this product on the treStique site:
"A revolutionary cream-gel vegan bronzer that applies like silk + built-in brush that blends color for a contoured, cream-powder finish.This bronzer cream stick features an ultra-luxe formula that offers a light veil of matte bronze wherever you apply. This bronzer stick leaves skin looking gorgeous, glowing and fresh off a sailboat. This bronzer with brush is the ultimate on-the-go solution for to get the look of healthy, glowing skin. You can also use this bronzer cream to contour your face to create a more dramatic, defined look."
On to my thoughts:
This was the one product that I was a little hesitant about. I am not skilled with cream face products but still wanted to give it a try. You can use this bronzer stick on your face or on your eyes. I have used it as a transition shade in my crease of my eye as well as for contouring my face. The shade is really great with my current skin tone. It doesn't pull too orange on me and isn't too dark. It is a really natural bronze shade. The formula is creamy and blendable but don't go to heavy unless you are experienced in applying this type of product. I had a bit of a hard time with blending but its because I really never contour or use cream products. The brush on the other end is a bit stiff for my liking but it would work just fine for on the go application. I applied this product and then layered it with a shimmer powder bronzer on top and was pretty happy with the final outcome.
Here are swatches of the products:
L-R: Brow Pencil/Brow Gel in Ameriano, Eye Crayon in Tahitian Shimmer, Matte Lip Crayon in Florence Fig/ Lip Balm and Bronzer Stick in Brazilian Bronze
Here is a look that I created using all of these products:
Before I share my final thoughts I wanted to share some of their awesome kits that they offer on their site. You are able to customize some of their kits and include specifically what you would like or you can pick sets that are pre-chosen. I also really love the fact that they offer minis if the full sized sets aren't in your budget or of you don't want to commit to the full sizes until you try them out.
Here are some of my favorite sets that they offer:
Here are some of the makeup bags that you can buy separately as well.
Overall, I am so impressed with this brand! The products are high quality and long lasting. The packaging is so cute and sturdy. I love that the products are easy to use and travel friendly. The fact that they are cruelty free and have sustainable products makes me love them even more! I need to get my hands on more products including more shadow crayons, lip crayons, and their highlighters! I also want to pick up one of the makeup bags so I can store all of my treStique products. I highly recommend this brand and can't wait to try more!
