Before anything else, I can't believe HBC featured my San San HD Concealer review on their Facebook account. :)
Even though I pointed out some negative things about this product, they were open to criticism. I'm really impressed. No wonder they are successful.
Anyhoo! I'm going to share with you guys what I think about the Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks. To our foreign friends, if you are planning to visit the Philippines, I highly recommend trying this product because of the variety of colors available.
You can choose from 19 colors. (Sorry not just 16!)
So far I have 3 colors. The first one I got was the Storm. Then I was craving for a darker color, so I bought the Dusk. Then I noticed Pink Flame was popular, so I bought it also.
The top comes off. Yes you can use them!
I remember the beauty consultant told me to apply this first before the lipstick to avoid drying. It's like a tinted balm. I have never used them. It's actually my first time opening the top.
This is the box of Pink Flame.
Swatch of the lipstick and the tinted balm:
The glossy ones are the balm.
Here's how they look like on my lips:
Dusk (somewhat Maroon)
Storm (somewhat Crimson)
Pink Flame (somewhat Deep Pink)
In person, the colors are darker and more vibrant compared to the pictures. My favorite would be Storm. I love how it looks on me. I look mature and classy. I get a lot of compliment when I'm wearing that color.
Compared to other matte lipsticks, this one is quite easy to apply. Yes quite, because sometimes it's hard to apply. It's easy to remove but it will leave a stain on your lips which I really love because I don't need to worry about looking pale after eating or drinking. It may be matte but it will transfer to anything.
To summarize, here's what I love and hate about the Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks. Please take note that these are what I encountered.
Our lips differ so what worked for me might not work for you, vise
versa.
What I HATE!
- Packaging. The cap comes off easily. I really hate it! After several use, it's loose already. Everytime I reach for my lipstick inside my pouch, it doesn't have a cap on. Very unhygienic!
- Paraben. Might be unhealthy.
What I LOVE!
- Color Variety. So many colors available. Love it! :)
- Texture. Pretty much easy to apply.
- Finish. Doesn't make your lips look dry.
- Pigment. The colors are vibrant. Except for the balm.
- Price. Darn cheap! ₱165 (approx. US$4).
Re-purchase?
- Of course! :) I'm definitely trying the other colors.
Recommend?
- Big YES because it's not drying compared to other matte lipsticks in the market.
Kiss Mark?
- I'm giving this baby 5 kissies!
Thank you for checking my review on this product.
Tata for now! :)
Pretty shades...I like that they are not drying. With most matte lipsticks I find them to be super drying on my lips.

Good morning Keisha! :) Thank you for stopping by. I do agree with you. Some matte lipsticks are very drying and hard to remove. You literally need to scrub it off.
