Just recently,
Ever Bilena introduced a new shade to their
Matte Lipstick collection. If you're following Ever Bilena on their social media sites, then you've probably seen photos and teasers of this new shade. And boy, I sure am glad to be able to get first dibs of this new product, all the more because it comes in my favorite color -
violet!

| Thank you, Ever Bilena! :) |
Aptly named
Vivid Violet, it's a warm purple color with subtle pink-red undertones. It's the kind of lipstick that you'll love to wear all throughout autumn.
 |
| Shade is indicated on the box flap, and can be seen on the lipstick cap. |
True to its name, this lipstick has very vivid color, and is highly pigmented, too. This shade has a bit of resemblance to
MAC Strong Woman, at least from my point of view. Some say it's a dupe for yet another purple MAC lipstick -
Heroine.

| Vivid Violet. |
I love its creamy texture, which allows for easy application. It doesn't pull or tug at the lips, unlike some of the
Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks that I've tried.
 |
| Violet is love! |
Staying power is pretty good, too - four or five hours at the most, with a bit of eating and drinking.
 |
| Vivid Violet, swatched. |
 |
| Vivid Violet on my lips. |
What I love:
- The color!
- Creamy texture.
- Easy to apply.
- Doesn't pull or tug.
- Decent staying power.
- Affordable price.
What you might not like:
- The bullet does not seem to be very sturdy,
which runs the risk of knocking the lipstick off its base.
Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in
Vivid Violet retails for
Php 165 a pop and is available at department stores, drug stores, and even supermarkets nationwide.
That is such a pretty color on you. It works wells with your skin tone. It might be a good fall color for me.

I use a luscious lips lipstick that lasts at least 10 hrs in Fuschia and Crazy bright pink coz my lips are darker so need a lighter or bright shade :)Bilena Matte looks good on you though!

I am IN LOVE with matte lippies, ever since I got my first tube I never saw shimmer the same way again. I love the color of this one! It's my favorite. I'd love to give it a try, thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteThat violet is pretty and it looks great on you too! Loving your hair, it's so long!! I like it short too, you're lucky you can rock both looks!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great color on you. I always choose the matte finish colors too
ReplyDeleteI'm a beauty Junkie and I would love it for sure. Yes we are same I don't like the bullet of EB but I do love their colors and it's matte finish.
ReplyDeleteLooks good on you! :) Though I prefer a shade darker for myself! Heehee :)
ReplyDeleteI like ever bilena lipsticks they're good and affordable! :)
The name made me think it was going to be too purple, but it's not. It's a super pretty color!
