Ever Bilena Hot Summer Matte Lipstick Review

By Palak Mishra

Hi!

I am quite addicted to matte lipsticks. During my stay in Manila, I was checking Watson’s beauty section and I spotted this range of matte lipsticks. They really have a gorgeous collection of matte lipsticks at a really reasonable price. So, I thought of trying them and bought two shades one is Hot Summer and the other one is Pink Flame. Before coming to the review, let me introduce you all to this brand, Ever Bilena. It is an affordable brand in Philippines which is easily available at all Watsons and SM Hypermarkets. They have an array of beauty products sold not only in Philippines but the products are also exported to some other Asian countries like Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan, etc. So, here comes the review!

My Experience with Ever Bilena Hot Summer Matte Lipstick:

I love all reds, pinks and coral shades. So, I picked this Hot Summer shade which is almost similar to Maybelline Colorsensational Bold Matte Lipstick – Mat3. Hot Summer is a nice tangerine coral shade and suits warm skin tones. The texture is soft and smooth. But, the thing that I do not like in this lipstick is its semi-matte texture. As it is not completely matte, it glides on the lips easily. So, there is no dragging and pulling.

The staying power is approximately 4 hours with meals which is fine for me. You do not need touch ups more often. There is no annoying smell. It does not bleed at all. It feels light on the lips. It does not settle down into the fine lines of the lips. Since it is Vitamin E enriched, it moisturizes the lips well. Due to the semi matte texture it does not dry out the lips. It has amazing pigmentation. Overall, I like the product; it brightens up my face instantly. The only thing which I do not like is its semi matte texture as I was searching for a complete matte lipstick.

  1. I didn’t know about this brand before reading your review. I also prefer matte lipsticks anyday but this semi matte one is looking pretty nice too. 🙂 Lip swatch is beautiful.
