MUA Poptastic Palette - First Look!

MUA is a brand I have seen around on many an occasion but never really had any products. If you have never heard/seen MUA before it's a drug store brand which sells a range of make up products & palettes for SUPER cheap prices. & considering the low prices, the quality is quite impressive.
The Poptastic palette is £4. £4 for 12 shades. This palette is a mix of shimmery/metallic shades & more matte shades in pretty bright, electric colours. The brush it comes with, well not quite a brush, but the average double ended sponge type eyeshadow applicator. The packaging itself is quite light plastic, so it isn't particularly sturdy but for the price that is to be expected.

These eyeshadows are surprisingly pigmented. The swatches are applied over a primer (a Seventeen, relatively inexpensive primer in this case) but I was still surprised by their colour for the price again! The texture of the more matte colours are a little chalky, but the metallic/shimmery shades are more easily applied & smoother in texture (I see a pattern emerging with metallic eyeshadows here).

Though I would say after owning it for some time the metallic shades seem become almost slightly clumpy (?) those this may just be to the fault of the air surrounding it being slightly damp, so I would suggest possibly keeping it in another container? Does anyone else ever have issues with this?
