little white truths

I received this in a Violet Box ages ago and it's only recently that I decided to open it and give it a crack. 

Since it's a single, smaller sized eyeshadow (1.5g), I also decided to include it in my Project Pan list (see my post on that here) and therefore see how long it would take to get through the product.

I've used it over the past week and feel able to give it a comprehensive review. Unfortunately it's not the best eyeshadow I've tried (and it's quite different in texture and quality from an eyeshadow quad I have from the same brand), so I'm wondering what's going on with this particular shadow: is it old or is this just a bad formulation?

Be a Bombshell claims/product details:

Application: to use as an eyeliner, wet the tip of your brush and dip into the shadow, then apply on lash line. For base colours, blend shadow from lash line to browbone with a wide shadow brush, using gentle upward strokes. For accent colours, blend shade in the outer crease of your eye, gently working inward. Gently blend base and accent colours together using light, feathery strokes. For highlighting, gently brush under browbone.

It looks nice enough on my eye, but note the glitter chunk fall-out at the outer edge (under my eye). Click on any image to enlarge it.
