Ever Bilena Extreme Shine Lipstick | 703 and 711

Mom was eager to buy a shade of red (seriously?) lipstick because she's always bragging that her lipstick isn't red at all. So one time, as we waited for a cousin to buy some stash in the SM Department store, I asked Mom to choose one and I'd buy it for her. We tried several lipsticks, even the recommended "Ever Bilena Magic Lipstick," but still Mom wasn't satisfied. Till we came across "Ever Bilena Extreme Shine Lipstick."

I, on the other hand, want something that smells good and is not so bright but not so pale at all. So we tested these two, and we love it! Mom got #711, which is in bright red and smells good and is pigmented. Vibrant color and last long for five hours without eating, but you can also reapply if you want. Shiny and affordable for only Php 75.00.

I got the other one, #703, which I really like since I don't have to apply a lip balm first or apply a gloss after. It is shiny already, and the scent is so sweet; it smells like a watermelon or something that I wanted to eat. LOLJK. I prefer this over Avon lipstick Berry Orange. It is also pigmented, but its smooth finish spices up my lips. A not-so-pale but not-so-bright lipstick shade, just perfect for a daylight getaway. It doesn't make my lips choppy at all because of its pigments, leaving soft and supple lips. Lasts long and has a creamy texture. Also affordable at only Php75.00; plus, it's available locally on Watsons and leading stores nationwide.
