Ever Bilena Matte LTD Liquid Lipstick

I really wanted to love this, the cool-toned shade is absolutely perfect and the staying power is surprisingly good, even after eating and drinking. Unfortunately, it's quite drying compared to other lipsticks I own. It clings to dry patches and emphasizes lip lines, which makes it less comfortable for all-day wear. With careful lip prep and application, it’s manageable, but not ideal. I’ve started using it more for blending or layering with other lip products instead of wearing it on its own. Great color, but not the best formula for dry or textured lips.

The packaging looks sleek and compact, very easy to slip into a bag or even a small pouch. The applicator is decent—slanted enough to help with precision, though not as soft or flexible as higher-end brands. The product has a noticeable scent (slightly sweet and cosmetic-like), which some may find pleasant but others might find a bit too artificial. The texture is on the thicker side for a matte liquid lipstick. On first swipe, it applies smoothly and gives off a strong color payoff—one coat is enough to cover the lips. However, it tends to dry down very quickly, so blending or correcting mistakes can be tricky. Once set, it feels lightweight at first, but after a while, it does get a little drying, especially if your lips aren’t prepped with balm or scrubbed beforehand. The color payoff is strong and stays put for hours without reapplication if you’re just talking or working. But the moment you eat something oily, it starts to fade from the inner part of the lips, leaving that “lip liner effect.” Reapplying can be a bit tricky since layering it makes the texture slightly crumbly. Comfort-wise, it’s not the most forgiving matte—it emphasizes dry patches and fine lines. On the bright side, it doesn’t bleed outside the lip line and isn’t messy.

I love how this lipstick is veryyyy pigmented. Just a small dab to the lips will do. You just have to smudge it all the way if you wanted a softer look. It can be a bit drying if you are not prepping/layering it with a balm but the color stays on. True to it's name, it surely is a matte lipstick.

My favorite things about it: … it’s matte but not drying at all… gives the trending blurry lip effect… affordable pa. Ever since college eto na talaga ang ginagamit ko until nagka-work ako. Pink Pearl still ROCKS!!!

this liquid lipstick is very nice, it leaves stain even after a long day!!
