I got these product months ago, and I used it occasionally as I am a REVLON faithful. A lot of people are raving about this product and even some of my favorite makeup guru is recommending this. I’m a loyal Revlon and Maybelline Foundation user as I am afraid to try other brands for my face. One more thing, compared to other makeup brands this foundation from Ever Bilena only costs P165.00 so, I’m really thinking if this a good product. So, enough of the haggling, I bought all four shades because it’s cheap and I can’t find the best shade that suits me (the lighting at mall is really my problem eversince I started buying my foundation).
EVER BILENA says:
A long lasting liquid foundation that dries faster than the ordinary foundation. Leaving a soft natural finish without flaking effects. Enriched with Vitamin E that helps maintain natural skin moisture. Easily covers dark circles, redness, and minor skin imperfections. This unique foundation creates instant affinity with the skin that makes it glide on like silk and stay fresh looking as it imparts a glowing skin all day. Comes in frosted glass bottle with pump for ultimate control.
At home, I immediately opened this so I can check the shades again. Oriental and Gold are the best options I had. I love the packaging, it's in sleek, frosted glass with pump dispenser which makes it easier and convenient to use.
One Sunday, me and my family went to the church and I decided to finally use this to give it a try, I grabbed the shade Gold. It has a choco-vanilla scent which bothers me at first because I’m not a fan of scented foundations but, later on, the scent eventually faded. It is moisturizing and blendable, you may use your finger or a brush.
The product says that the finish is “matte” but, I beg to disagree as it has a dewy finish. Upon applying the first layer no complaints at all since my acne marks are really dark so, concealer is a must. Then, I topped it with my Maybelline All in One Foundation. The finish is nice and the effect is really lovable however, after two hours it started to fade. I have an oily skin so I won’t recommend this to people with same skin type like mine but, I think this will work for dry skin typed people.
- enriched with vitamin E that helps maintain natural skin moisture
- no irritation, inflammation in short it didn't cause me to break out
- it doesn't cake - can stand the humidity here in the Philippines (FOR DRY SKIN)
- it does give you light -medium coverage
- the consistency is watery - it’s easy to work with
- slightly covered blemishes but in some cases let the concealer does the job
- very affordable
- available everywhere! haha.. department stores, of course!
CONS
- staying power is not good - like 2 hours or so even if you set with a good powder
- there are only four shades
I think this is a great product it just so happen that I really have a very oily skin. I decided to use this on some of my clients especially those who have a dry skin and they liked it. They even told me why use high end and expensive products if we can purchase affordable yet great product. Also, this one is locally made! I have no regrets when I purchased all four shades.
