Long story short, I've been thinking about purchasing a Morphe palette as my first proper palette, but I just heard that they private-label and totally hike up the price and you can get the EXACT thing elsewhere but cheaper. Naturally, I figured, okay, I'll find where to get the cheaper palette. But then I saw a bunch of people saying that Morphe is chalky and doesn't blend well. What eyeshadow palette do you guys recommend for a beginner?

Just go to Sephora and buy an Urban Decay palette...?

Nevermind, I just looked up Morphe and saw their eyeshadow palettes are only $22 and if you're balking at that price I doubt you're going to pay $50 for Urban Decay... although it's worth it, honestly. Some products definitely are jacked up in price, but generally the higher you go the better quality and ingredients they use which your face will thank you for in the long-run.
If you want to be cheap about it however, I can recommend Maybelline's Nudes palette. It's less variety than the palette you posted, but the colours are very good for a drugstore palette and if you combine it with a primer and have some idea of what you're doing the difference between that and a more expensive palette isn't bad. If you're a beginner I'd highly recommend sticking to neutral tones and not going for anything too dark or bright... figure out your undertone and buy the palette (regular Nudes or Blushed) that suits your skin better.

I haven't had any blending problems, mine blends perfectly. It also does depend on the type of brush you are using, though.
