Baby/first time pan : Alverde eyeshadow quad in the chocolate shade. The second shade I use for an eyeshadow base, since I use eyeshadow sticks from trend it up, I only use the last two shades for contouring or a stronger eye look. And yes I still use the sponge because my eyelid space is really small a brush makes no sense. I loved their old desert wonders eyeshadow quad though, still have that and use it in small quantities since they removed the GORGEOUS dark blue shimmer and added a boring brown shimmer into it and added a "denim" palette like come ONNN
Sentimental pan : the discontinued alverde lipstick palette. I was gifted this palette in 2014 and 11 years later it's still serving ne faithfully. I know it was discontinued somewhere in 2017 and expired in 2020. Who cares? It's not done until I declare it done, and even then I'm gonna look for good replacements for esch colour so I can de-pot the replacement back into this palette.
Holy grail pan : alverde compact powder in the shade 50 Terra. Now don't ask me how I found my close-to-perfect skin shade in a powder line that has 3 shades that too in a german drugstore, but oh well. I take what I get and it works since I'm more of a matte girlie anyways. I've repurchased this powder almost every three months in the last two-three years. I was a big fan of their translucent pressed powder but they changed the formula around two or so years ago to a white powder :sob: Their translucent loose powder is really good and leaves a natural type of glow/shine, though eventhough it isn't as mattifying as let's say the essence powder trio.
