- Maybelline Cooling Effect Shadow Liner Sugar Plum Ice and Midnight Chill
Since I love eye shadows and base, I decided to check out the Maybelline Cooling Effect Shadow/Liner. I, first, came across them at Ulta.com. The name intrigued me because I wondered if they were really cooling as the name suggests, so I purchased two, Sugar Plum Ice (deep rose pink) and Midnight Chill (navy).
Well, I am glad to report that the Shadow/Liner is creamy and cool. The application is smooth on the eye (maybe smoother than NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils) and the colors are pigments. (I could have worn each of them as eye shadows) I used the Cooling Effect Shadow Liner (Sugar Plum Ice) as a base for my lid. The moisture of the Maybelline Cooling Effect Shadow Liner really allowed the Too Faced shadow in Heiress (rose pink) to adhere with no problem (not that I have problems with Too Faced shadows adhering!) [Sidebar: I will upload an EOTD or FOTD to show the results of using this product.] I wore the look for over 12 hours and there was no creasing. (Full Disclosure: I also used MAC’s Matte Gel and L’Oreal’s De-Crease Eye Shadow Base.)
I think if I lived in a mostly warm climate, I would stock up on these shadows, the cooling sensation is not overwhelming and made me feel refreshed.
The Pencil does not come with a sharpener. Any large barrel sharpener will do e.g. MAC Cosmetics Large Sharpener works fine and I am sure any other brands will work just as well.
Overall, I see more purchases of the Maybelline Cooling Effect Shadow Liner in the near future.

aha loreal decrease as a base! i don’t think i’ve had such good luck with these pencils as a base on their own. i used to wear the green/smokey olive one for years as a liner… glad you like them.
Ooh this product looks good! Loving the reviews
@Jamilla, I recommend using MAC’s Matte Gel, L’Oreal De-Crease, or UDPP w/ the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils.
I haven’t tried these yet. The NYX jumbo pencils are good if you can keep them from creasing. I will have to pick a few of these up.
I have my eye on Frosty Pink and maybe 2 more.
I love these pencils as well. I have the pink one and a white one called snow bunny.
No, the cool feeling lasts about 20 secs.
Thanks for the review. The swatches are great! Is the cool feeling lingering?
