i agree with the long lastingness of the tube. i've had mine for almost five years, and not close to running out. i have the really light pink and works really well for daytime use with tons of black mascara (to offset its light sparklyness princessy look). However, after five years its time to replace even thought it hasnt run out yet so maybe they should consider smaller tubes?? i guess it depends how much you use

i love these eyeshadows! i have cold as ice, lilac freeze, pretty cool, and cool beans, and they are all amazing! cool beans, i must say, makes for one awesome looking smokey eye, since it seems to have a gold sheen to it. overall these are high quality and you can't beat the prices. definately will repurchase if i ever run out.

I like how this looks and it lasts a long time is you put a little translucent powder over it.

I have the champagney one. Such a pretty colour, albeit a little runny.

Ugh! This stuff gunks up like there's no tommorow. It's almost invisible unless you cake it on. Gross!!!

This is THE worst!!! I loved using the shadow/liner of Cool Effect, so I thought that this might be good too! boy was I wrong!! I cant stand this stuff...I put it on and I knew right away that it was going to slide right off!! how annoying! it creases like crazy! I would definitely not purchase this again.

I have the light blue one. It's a fun product for the weekends. I like it that it doesn't go on obnoxious or heavy. It stays on pretty well.

I like this product, which is odd, because I am not really a fan of maybelline eyeshaddows. I bought this in Cool Blues, and when put on in a sheer coat, it looks white, or when I layer it on more, it turnes a icy-blue. I like the fact that it's long lasting, at least for me, and it dosn't crease at all. It also has a groovtastic shimmer. I don't know if i would buy this again, probably not in the same shade.

I bought this in Cool Blues and lilac freeze a long time ago, and it is the only eyeshadow that has followed me through the years. It is great for day or night looks and you only need a teensy bit for full coverage. The shimmer is beautiful and it has amazing lasting power. I would definitely buy more of these and recommend them to anyone who hasn't tried them yet!

I have only one of these in Igloo Blue and it reminds me very much of the MAC tubes with liquid e/s.Igloo Blue is an icy/metallic/shimmery color. This one I use for going out much more than for daytime. It is very easy to apply and blend, it gives the most shimmery irridescent color to my lids and I absolutely love how cheap it was. I will probably buy more of these someday.Tip for applying this: I use my medium-sized concealer brush to apply this instead of my fingers. I have greater controls over blending it that way.

This is one of the greatest makeup inventions of all time. This is the most iridiscent, radiant, shimmering types of eyeshadow that you can buy. Don't let the little tube deceive you; this stuff lasts a lifetime. You only need a dot for each eye, and then you're on your way. I love to use this stuff to glam up my otherwise natural makeup look... It stays put, and under most cirumstances, it doesn't crease. I've found that it was a good idea to throw these in with Christmas presents for my friends. I think everyone should try this product. You don't have much to lose!

These are great eyeshadows. They last all day without any creasing. These can be layered for the desired look you want without being cakey. They also make great eyeshadow bases.

I so wanted to like this product. I got the pink shadow (Pretty Cool). On the plus side it's very easy to apply as long as you use just a bit and it lasts and lasts. No creases at all. On the down side I simply can't wear pink frost/glitter eyeshadow. It washes me out and makes me look sick. I'm giving it four "lippies" because I think it's a great product at a great price. It's just not for me.

I don't care too much for these. They are messy to apply & hard to get exactly where you want them. But they are inexpensive & have cute colors!

I have these in Blizzard Brown, Chill the Champagne, Cool Blues, and one more (a pink, IIRC). I love them-- shimmery and flirty without being OTT. I got them on a closeout sale for $0.99, which is fabulous. Don't crease, last a good time... I'll be sad to see them go!

Great Product!! I have this in Chill the Champagne, Cool Car, and Gives me the Chills and I love it! The tubes last forever and it is so easy to apply-I just use my finger. It's not too glittery and you really can't go wrong when applying it. Although I love this stuff and have been using it for at least four years, I found another brand called N.Y.C. that is basically the same thing-only it's cheaper and you get more of it.

I have this in a light pink and often use it with eyeshadow to give a little shimmer. It's not too glittery and just make your eye "pop."

I love the colors that this stuff comes in. I bought "Blizzard Brown" which is an almost transparent nude with lots of shimmer. This product is PERFECT for eyeshadow base and prevents shadow from creasing at all! It also gives eyeshadow a shimmery look. Alone, it looks natural yet a little made-up. It looks good if you just wear it and then some black eyeliner on your inner lid!
