Ever Bilena Kris Matte Matic Lipstick - First Impressions

I was actually holding myself from buying this since it was introduced in Kris's facebook.  I was fascinated that she agreed to collaborate with Ever Bilena.  Ever Bilena is one of the popular and actually nice quality local makeup.  It's affordable and what's great is that it can compete with international brands.

Packaging	The box is black with the name of the shade on the top.  It's in a black plastic tube.  It has "Kris" logo in the pen.  There's also the words "lovelovelove" which is so Kris. This is a "crayola" type of packaging, with a twistable end, which you can twist clockwise and counterclockwise. What I don't like though about this product's packaging is its cap.  It pops off on its own, you have to push it really in to seal it, which gives it a more tendency to break, which I always experience in these types of packaging of lipstick.
Smell	Light floral scent, but you won't notice it once you applied it.
Consistency	"Balmy"
Swatch	There are only 2 shades as of the moment for this collection, I got the "Life" shade.
Application	This has a decent amount of product in it. On application, there's a little tagging on the lips.  On initial application, it's satin then turns into matte finish.  It's very pigmented as well, you only need 1 layer to cover your whole lips.  You get this feeling of something on your lips.  You'll feel a dry layer of your lips but it does not make your lips chap that much.  But it's not hydrating as well. Kissproof Test: It's not kiss-proof, as expected for these types of formula.    Longevity Test: As expected also, this is not very long lasting.  After eating, it will leave a small amount of stain on your lips.  On full lips, this lasted for about 3-4 hours.  On the 4th hour, you can see the disappearance of inner part of lips. It's almost completely gone after eating.   This is very good for everyday wear, the shade is really nice and very MLBB.
