This cream-to-powder eyeshadow is housed in a glass jar with a screw-on lid. Its texture is silky and each shade is highly pigmented—talk about a shock of color! A little goes a long way and several of the shades work great to add depth or highlight the eye area.
In terms of longevity, once the formula sets it stays put quite well; no smudging, smearing, or fading was noticed—and these take some effort to remove (have an oil- or silicone-based makeup remover handy).
All told, this is a stellar product, except for the fact that it contains lavender oil, which can be a potent skin irritant and is absolutley not something that should be applied around the eyes. See More Info for details; this ingedient is solely responsible for the rating assigned.
