What is it?
Matte liquid lipsticks are trendy these days and here's Ever Bilena's take on it.

Ingredients

Packaging, Labels and Other Details

It comes in a no frills plastic tube packaging. The shade name is labelled at the top of the tube cap. Other details like manufacturing date, etc are written at the bottom of the tube.

Here's the doe foot applicator. I love the size of it. Just perfect for outlining the lips. I also love how the product doesn't gather up at the base of the cap. 

Swatch

Here's the swatch. Sexy Nude is a peachy-pink shade of nude.

In Action

Here's a photo of my bare, freshly scrubbed lip vs. wearing two layers of the Ever Bilena Matte Liquid Lipstick in Sexy Nude.

My Take

I  picked this color because I'd just ran out of my NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm and since Sexy Nude looked so close in terms of color on the tube, I decided to try it out.When swatched side by side, the two look like twins but as the products dry up, NYX SMLC Stockholm stays true to its peachy-pink shade while EB Matte Liquid Lipstick oxidizes to a more pink shade, albeit it's not very obvious on my photo above. 

Now on to my comments about the EB Matte Liquid Lipstick. It has a scent that I could associate with vanilla and coconuts or that Butter Coconut biscuit cracker. The scent lingers on for while and stays on faintly even after the product has dried up. 

It comes in a creamy liquid formula; not too runny at all. It doesn't dry up easily so you have ample time to apply it. I have observed though that the best way for me to apply it is to not try to have many passes with the applicator. Just outline the lips, fill-up the blanks, press lips together and leave it alone. It will look just fine and even compared to when I try to keep layering the product. It will look glossy for a while but after more than a minute, it will dry down to a powdery matte looking finish.

There's a unsettling feeling left behind though even after it has set, when you press your lips together, they kind of stick. It doesn't affect the color of the product though and I tried kissing the back of my hand, even if it sticks, the color doesn't transfer.

It doesn't come off easily, so if you won't drink or eat, I will look great for about three hours. It won't go away easily naman if you drink water for like 1 or 2 times but if you keep drinking or eating oily food it will eventually fade.

For the price point, I think this product is a good one, especially if you are just exploring the world of liquid lipsticks. It has a good color pay-off and didn't look or feel flaky on my lips.
