REVIEW: Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick


Ever Bilena is the most popular local brand. My mom and aunties said that during their time, Everbilena is really popular because there’s no other quality local brand. I am not a fan of ever bilena but, i fell inlove with their Pro Flawless Liquid Foundation (though it didn’t work for me because i have oily skin, but my clients loved it). I started patronizing their matte lipsticks after hearing some makeup geeks said that this is amazing! With no further ado, i bought my first 3 matte lipsticks (Pink Flame, Off Beat Pink and Skin).


Pink Flame is a bright pink while Off Beat Pink is a bit hazy pink.

Skin, from the word itself is colored as human skin which falls under the category of nude.

I love these lipsticks, though i think that Pink Flame and Off Beat Pink are quite similar.

OFF BEAT PINK
 I decided to buy another shade and for the second encounter, i bought Autumn Breeze and Storm.

Autumn Breeze is a bright orangey-red while Storm is really red. I love storm because i love red lipsticks. I also like Autumn Breeze but i’m not gaga over it.

It is in sleek black plastic which make it looked classy but, when you touch it you can feel that it’s made out of cheap details but, not an issue for me. There is a cap attached in the cover that will help you see the color.

The color payoff is excellent. It’s much pigmented without staining your lips.

As for the performance, i think this is superb! It stays on my lips quite long. It’s a bit drying but, i apply lip balm first before applying these lipsticks. If you skipped the lip balm, you might experience drying lips. I know that this is a “matte” lipstick but we should also consider the condition of our lips. There’s no big deal when you apply a lip balm prior to your Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick.

CONS
  • When you touch it, you can feel that it’s cheap
