this eyeshadow palette is so pretty! it stayed on all night for me and was very easy to blend out. i will say there is a considerable amount of fallout in the palette and it can get messy easily. however, it's good for beginners and the shadows did not crease on my eyes, which is an issue i constantly have with palettes....Good eyeshadow ♥️...I like these eyeshadows! I bought them full price from glossier so I dont know if thats worth it, but it comes with the mirror and its refillable!
