Ever Bilena Kris Matte Liquid Lipstick in Let Go

TGIF everyone. Let's get right into the action this Friday with a lipstick review from Ever Bilena x Kris Aquino collaboration. I have one of her matte liquid lipstick in the shade Let Go. I got this 50% off last month.

- Neutral but high impact
- Lightweight formula which smoothly glides on the lips leaving an intense pigment that dries down to matte finish
- Infused with antioxidants to help keep your lips soft and smooth even after you use them
- It helps maintain good condition of the lips.

This is my first purchase of Ever Bilena's matte liquid lipstick so I can't attest to their normal formula nor performance. However, this liquid lipstick comes in a clear plastic twist up tube with a doe foot applicator. It's straightforward and easy to use as well as travel-friendly as I haven't experience any leakage when it was in my bag.

Let Go can be described as a medium rosey mauve nude with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The color looks darker on the tube than applied. I also expected it to look darker on my lips but surprisingly, it comes off as a flattering rosey-pink mauve which can be a nude shade for some. This color works for a lot of skin tones and can be a more wearable "out of the box" nude-red for everyday use.

Pigmentation is great. You get a full, opaque coverage with a couple of swipes. The color can be buildable up to a point, as long as you let the first layer dry before applying additional layer so as to avoid any patches and piling up.

The creamy mousse texture made the application a breeze. The lipstick glides smoothly and evenly with minimal pressure. I noticed no patchiness nor streakiness whatsoever.  The formula feels lightweight and comfortable on the lips. As with any matte lipstick, I had prepped my lips with a moisturizing lip balm. With that being said, this lipstick was slightly drying after several hours of wear.

Because of the creamy formula, the finish is more on the demi-matte side rather than being a true flat matte. There was some transfer of color. It's also not budge- and smudge- proof. This lipstick didn't settle on any lip lines. Longevity was above average as the color stayed on for up to five hours, and then faded evenly. It left a pink-red stain on the lips. For the price (especially when on sale) Ever Bilena x Kris Aquino Matte Liquid Lipstick gives you a lot of bang for your buck.
