Revlon Diamond Lust Eye Shadow

After seeing it on clearance at Walgreens, I decided to grab Revlon's Diamond Lust eye shadow in "Plum Galaxy". I put it on the following day, and was... confused. It took a lot of swipes to get it on my eyelid, and it looked patchy and uneven. It settled into the lines of my eyelid, and and smeared around. However, I used my eyeliner brush to put it on as liner, and that actually went pretty well for me. I was really excited to use such a standout shade of sparkly purple, but was sorely disappointed. How long will it take me to learn that I shouldn't buy makeup on clearance? For shame, Revlon. For shame.
