Disappears. Where have my shadows gone?

I read a lot of reviews before buying because I thought it was ok at best but the colors seemed so vibrant. I felt like a lot of the reviews said nothing about them and I never write reviews so boom that's it. The delivery time was reasonable and it arrived safely. I was concerned the shade trays would break in the mail but they held up great or I have a great postman anyway. I opened it and was very happy. Only the packaging is very well processed and thought out. I liked the mirror in it and the acetate sheet between the shadows and the mirror to keep the powder from getting on the mirror. I dipped my fingers and ran them up my arm and I got even more aroused! Beautiful watched! But the glitter disappointed me a bit. They were dry. No joke, dry. I was expecting solid eyeshadows to be dry, but glitter? How should this continue? So I decided to do a fresh face makeup with them. I thought it was worth it, even without the glitter just for the pretty neons! So I tried seeing patterns on my arm to decide which ones to apply to my eyes. Where did you go? I know 2 minutes ago I just put it in there, what the fuck? Did I move or touch something? Weird, okay, let me put it on my face. I started with one color in the crease and quite a bit of product fell out. Not thrilled with it but still deserves a shot as the colors were so pretty! I flashed 4.5.6.7. try applying to the crease. It looks like there is no cover. Okay, weird again. Still wanting it to work and having hope, I chose a different color for the other crease. No, it's the same. Well I just didn't give up and tried a different color for the lids and lower lid. When I applied the second color I could barely tell in both eyes (1 color per eye) that I was even trying to make something up? No, there must be an error. The swatches are great! What the hell. I washed my face, started again, different colors. The same thing. I called my husband to see what he thought of the new eyeshadow I was trying. - What Where? Have you put it on yet? So not just me. It kept disappearing as I put it on. I could see it very, very faintly. I was very disappointed, especially the price. I could pay $10 more to get the Jeffree Star Palette and use the @Morphe discount code and I'd have at least one eyeshadow to live for. I never give up on my captain Jeffrey but this time I decided to give it a try and fate told me there will never be a formula like his so don't even try. Also the dollar tree makeup lasts longer than this. That's all, sorry for my chatter!
