i ordered this to have a variety of eyeshadows in a compact case. this was a perfect set, i love the fact the colors are colorful and little sparkly. the only thing is it didnt come with a brush, which means i must carry more items. the case itself is strong cardboard with a little plastic sleeve to cover the eyeshadow. hasnt cracked or broken areas, easy to use and apply washes off with basic soap or makeup soap, i would recommand this product to anyone
