Ever Bilena Famous Lipstick in Watermelon (Review and Swatch)

Hello guys! What's up? My class doesn't start until 3 pm so I decided I'd do a quick review! I'm trying to blog as often as I can - now that I only have a few exams left until summer comes in again.

So for those of you who do not know, aside from being a BB cream junkie, I'm also a lipstick junkie. I've gone through this phase last year of just checking out every make up counter I know to see what's new in their lipstick line. IT WAS PURE BLISS I TELL YOU! Everytime I get to buy one, the feeling's  like being rewarded for something you've accomplished. Anyways! This lippie is one of those that I bought when I was going through that phase. Its from Ever Bilena's Famous Line in Watermelon.



I super love the packaging. When I first saw this, I mistook it for Maybelline's Jewel Collection as they have striking similarities - the color of the packaging being translucent and in deep red too.

SWATCH:




JEM'S THOUGHTS: 

(I'm sorry if my lips don't look their prime here)

It looks really deceiving on the tube. It looks sort of nude-ish but it dictates otherwise when applied. Its rather pigmented actually. For me the color payoff is really nice - coral with a hint of peach to it. It really brightens up my complexion which is why its one of the very few lipsticks I reach for these days. The finish is a bit glossy, so if you're looking for a long lasting, matte lippie, this isn't for you. But I'd still recommend it anyway just because the color's lovely. Like I said, its not a long lasting lipstick. It will sit on your lips for about 2 hours max, after that, you're going to need to retouch. 

Overall, I'd give it a 4/5. Its definitely worth every cent and I simply can't wait to try out their other shades! I got this for 155php ($3.81) and is available almost anywhere! Haha, seriously though, I've been seeing a lot of Ever Bilena counters these days. I even saw it in 7/11 just a month ago! :) 

Anyways, have you tried any from this line? Do share if you have! Would love to hear from you!

  2. It does resemble maybelline's! I would have preferred that the actual color of the product is similar to how it looks like in the tube though. I think it's more wearable that way. On the other hand, it's bright enough for the summer!

    1. Hi Ile! Yes, I was surprised myself! It still is a beautiful color though, just not the color I was looking for at the time. But I learned to like ut in the end so I guess its still worth it! And like you said, perfect for the summer!

  5. I heard EB lipsticks are drying. Is it true for this particular one? Because I'm so tempted to buy it now. I love your blog, btw. Kyaaa.

    1. The matte ones are more drying. This is too but the bearable kind of drying I guess since it has a glossier finish. Haha. But if you exfoliate your lips prior to application then it shouldn't be a problem for you.
