SWATCHES: Ever Bilena Kris Matte Matic Lipstick (ALL SHADES!) + FREE EB Lipstick Alert!

How rare it was to chance upon ALL shades of Ever Bilena Kris Matte Matic Lipsticks at Watsons! The testers are all brand new so I had to have a swatch party, of course! 💋

From the original first two shades, this lippie range has now expanded to seven!

The new shades are pretty, but my favorites are still Life and Love. (I still use Life every single day!) 👍

Also, if you're planning to buy from Ever Bilena, I spotted this (secret) promo on the makeup kiosk inside Watsons SM North North Towers - FREE Ever Bilena Beauty Shine Lipstick for the first 200 customers. This Watsons branch opened early December 2018 and the promo is still ongoing. (You're welcome!) 😉

Love,

Helen

Ever Bilena Kris Matte Matic Lipstick

I love Kris Aquino. When she says that a certain product is good, it's good. No further questions asked.

I think my Kris Aquino fever started last year - the first time I chanced upon her lipstick review vlogs on Facebook. So I started following her on Facebook and IG. I super enjoy all her kikay videos and even made a blind buy on a pricey fragrance even if I have never smelled it in my life because of her. Oh, and I'm super kuripot... You'll know that she's very powerful because she can make you spend your money and you'll even feel good about it. 😂
 

Whenever I stare at my makeup kit, I always think I already have too many makeup so I am really on a no/low buy when it comes to cosmetics. I've resolved to only buy new makeup only when I have reviewed everything in my stash, which is quite a feat. One day, M surprised me with these Ever Bilena Kris Matte Matic Lipsticks! He knows I adore Kris, and was able to hunt down the shade Life which was sold out everywhere a few weeks back. 😮😊😍

Life & Love

Would you look at those gorgeous shades!!! 💖 These lippies come in 2 pretty shades and a retractable crayon packaging. The manufacturing date and ingredients list are printed on the box. For an affordable local brand, Ever Bilena has stepped up their game big time with this collaboration. These matte lip crayons are in a class of their own. From my matte liquid lipstick phase, I'm shifting to lip crayons again because they can actually be matte and moisturizing at the same time.

Ever Bilena Kris Matte Matic Lipstick in Life
 

Life, when worn
 

Life is a nude pink shade that's universally flattering. I am a huge fan of red lipstick so I expected to love the shade Love more, but I honestly find myself using Life every single day. Pudpod na agad yung lip crayon ko as in, and I expect to use this up in a few months time since it's my go-to shade. It's natural looking, and it gives my face life. I will definitely repurchase once I run out. (Ever Bilena, please make this product permanently available!)

Trivia: Life is a dupe of a high end imported pink lipstick that's now discontinued. Kris loved it very much, and Ever Bilena pretty much granted her wish to bring that lipstick back to existence via Life.

Ever Bilena Kris Matte Matic Lipstick in Love

Love, when worn

Love is such a beautiful blue-based red lipstick! It's crazy pigmented, and you'll get a rich red with just one swipe. I know I have professed love for my favorite reds in the past, but this one honestly has an even better formula/pigmentation/glide than my beloved MAC Ruby Woo at only 1/4 of its price. It's a red that looks very sosyal and it makes the teeth look less yellow. Because of Kris, I'm reaching out for this lipstick on the days when I'm extra tired for that instant beauty boost.

Price: P245 (less than USD 5!!!)

Available at Ever Bilena counters in department stores, drugstores, and supermarkets (that is, if they're not sold out yet everywhere)

Do you have your own Ever Bilena Kris Life Kit products yet? Which one is your favorite? Mine's obviously Life. 💋

Love,

The P185 Kris Aquino-approved red lipstick

Hi, I'm Helen and I'm addicted to lipsticks. 💄

When Queen of All Media Kris Aquino was hailed the brand ambassador of local beauty brand Ever Bilena early this year, I got pleasantly surprised and even felt a bit (okay, A LOT) of excitement. I've been following her vlog over at Facebook and my favorite ones are of course about her lipstick collection (which were mostly MAC). I think Ever Bilena getting Kris as their endorser is the best thing they did for their brand. When she recommends something, people really buy. 💸 She's that good.

Ever Bilena Liquid Lipstick in Thalia (P185) is one of the Kris Aquino-approved products of the brand.

The packaging is nice and simple and it resembles a bullet lipstick. It contains 5ml of product, and is good for 24 months after opening. I also like that the manufacturing date is indicated on the sticker.

The liquid lipstick itself is creamy - just like a melted bullet lipstick. I'm actually liking this texture better than watery liquid lipsticks. Since it doesn't dry ASAP, it's not streaky and the application is ALWAYS even. The doe foot applicator acts as a lip brush for the creamy matte lipstick, and it does a pretty nice job with shaping the lips.

Thalia, when worn

Thalia is a pretty perfect red shade that can work for all skin tones. It's the kind of red that's not too bright and not too dark, so it's not intimidating to wear. It has a soft matte finish. It doesn't make my lips feel dry and tight, and I've never experience chapping with this one even with daily wear. Once it sets, it still does transfer minimally, but it doesn't easily rub off. It's long-wearing as it can last through snacking, but I have to retouch after a full meal.

Ingredients

So far this one's my favorite Ever Bilena product! I'm currently on a low buy when it comes to makeup, but Kris Aquino is my weakness so when her Kris Life Kits and LIPPIES finally come out, it's shopping time!!! Good thing Ever Bilena products are affordable. 👍
