Spotlight | Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick.

As you might recall, I received a box from Ever Bilena filled to the brim with their lipsticks. They were 19 in total, two of which I have already reviewed.

Today I'm showing you five more of those lipsticks, all from the Matte line.

Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks.

The shades that I got are Viva, Off Beat Pink, Love that Red, Fierce Red, and Vamp Red. It's ironic how I got all these pinks and reds when these days I'm actually leaning towards peaches and nudes. Oh well. Like what I always say - a girl can never have too many lipsticks. Never ever. :)

From L-R: Viva, Off Beat Pink, Love that Red, Fierce Red, and Vamp Red. 

Here's how these lippies look like when swatched. The texture is creamy, and as you can see, the color pay-off is gorgeous. They're quite easy to apply, though you might experience a bit of tugging every once in awhile.

One thing I like about these lippies is their remarkable staying power. They stayed on my lips for about six hours, with a bit of eating and drinking.

Now here's how they look like when worn.

Viva when worn.

Viva is a light pink shade that's great for everyday wear. The color looks very natural with just one or two swipes, but you can build up the color if you want to achieve a brighter, more noticeable shade of pink on your lips.

Off Beat Pink, on the other hand, is a lovely, blue-based shade of pink. This one's my most favorite among the five EB Matte lipsticks that I got.

This shade bears semblance to NYX's Milan, one of my favorites from the brand's Soft Matte Lip Cream line.

Love that Red is a beautiful, neutral shade of red.

This one's my favorite among the red lipsticks that I received. It's a pretty good dupe for MAC's Ruby Woo, too!

Meanwhile, Fierce Red and Vamp Red are both darker and deeper shades of red.

Both of them look very much alike, I'm actually having a hard time distinguishing one from the other in the photos, haha!

What I love:

- Highly pigmented.

- Buildable color.

- Great staying power.

- Different shades to choose from.

- Widely available.

- Affordable price.

For only Php 165 a pop, these Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks are a steal! 

What you might not like:

- Can be drying at times, so I suggest you wear a lip balm before applying the lipstick.

- The tube isn't quite sturdy. There's danger in breaking the lipstick if twisted carelessly.
