Hello! How's your week so far? The heat is insane and I'm soo lazy these past few days. Anyhoo, this review is sitting on my blog bin for 2 weeks now and I think my recent photo can do justice on the real color of this lipstick from Ever Bilena. The moment I got hold of this, I said to myself that there's a lot of reason to "Love your own" and support the local makeup industry. The shade that I got is also dubbed as a very close dupe to MAC Pink Noveau by some beauty bloggers that have already swatch this shade . I'm not sure if this shade is really an exact dupe or really comparable to Mac Pink Noveau because I don't own one.
And because I'm happy with my first lipstick from Ever Bilena, I'll be hoarding 2 or 3 colors on my next purchase :)

What I like:
- The Price- Very affordable.
- There's a color on the top of the packaging. This kind of "color coding" made it a lot easier for me to identify the color of the lipstick inside the tube.
- Good color payoff but not totally pigmented.
- Doesn't dry my lips.
- Lasts 3 hours on my lips.
- Easily accessible.
- There's a wide range of colors for this lipstick line.
- There's a batch and manufacturing date printed on it.
What I don't like:
- The packaging- it's flimsy. But can't complain consider the price and the quality, you really get what you pay for.
- There's a bit of plastic taste.
- Doesn't glide smoothly on my lips so I have to rub the tip of the lipstick first on the back of my hand to warm it up for easier application.
Will I repurchase? Yes! I want to try other colors like Love that Red and Mauvey.
Recommendation:
I give this a 4.5/5 rating. A good buy from a local brand that really makes Filipina more beautiful without spending too much. There's a lot of reason why Ever Bilena products has been receiving positive reviews aside price methinks the quality and the range of their products caters to all the ladies regardless of age. I saw my youngest sister using their HD makeup line while my mom loves their powder foundation and I'm happy that they didn't got allergic reactions and whatsoever.
What's your favorite Ever Bilena product? Thanks for sharing! Happy Friday everyone ^_^
Good Times!~
