beautiful range of shades

I got this as a gift. I was pleasantly surprised with the pigmentation of these however one of my shades is broken at the sides and the box is designed in a way that when it clicks closed the shadows might break. I find that these shadows can get quite patchy and hard to blend over my eyeshadow primer and its quite hard to get the best payoff of the shimmers with a brush. However I like the colour range in this palette and some shades are amazing.
