Hello, Hallimede: Ever Bilena

OCTOBER Favorites

Hello, munchkins!

How's your Halloween?

October flies so fast! Now we're down to the last two months and we will kiss 2016 goodbye!

I'm being inconsistent when it comes to posting reviews and stuffs but believe me, I am doing my best. Anyway, I was not able to share my favorites for the month of September but here's my October stuffs.

It is consist of few items which I used on a daily basis and I love them! Let's get started;

Nichido Final Powder in Creamy Glow
A translucent powder that has no coverage but perfect for setting foundation and concealer. Honestly, this is the first time I used a translucent powder. First impression will be posted soon! Funny how I got to include this on my favorites without posting a review or first impression.

Ever Bilena Dusky Rose
A red with a hint of brownish shade of lipstick! I'm no good when it comes to describing the color. Though this one, coming from a local brand is highly pigmented and matte. It is not drying on the lips!

Maybelline Micellar Water
Micellar water is very indemand now! It is very effective in removing makeup and it does not harm your face. Double cleansing at it's finest! I'm almost down with my first bottle and will be more than happy to get another one.

Pond'sWhitening BB Cream
I have been using this product even before and I lost count over the tube I've consumed. It has great coverage, protects your skin and instantly brighten your face. Even my Mom love this, though she's using the Anti-Aging BB Cream.

ELF Bronzer
A product after my own heart. I love bronzers! Period. I love how it adds dimension and glow to the face. If you want to skip contouring, go for bronzer.

And it's a wrap!

The month of October has been really tough for me. But with the help of these lovely products, I was able to survive. They are all available locally and at a very affordable price!

I'm expecting tons of surprises for the month of November!

Have you tried any of these products? Share your thoughts!

EB Advance Cheek Color First Impression & Review

Hello, July!

Let's start this month by doing a review of this blush/cheek color that I got from Ever Bilena.

A few years back, my Mom had a blush stick from EB. It's powder in a transparent stick-like container that has a brush at the end (best way I can describe it) and I like the formula because it is super pigmented plus they have beautiful colors. Though, bad thing about is that my face gets itchy once applied so I stopped using the product. When I had a chat with the saleslady at EB, she told me that the cheek color has been reformulated. And here I am, giving their blush/cheek color another chance.

Ever Bilena is one of the successful local brands in the country that has good quality and affordable products. I've noticed as well that most of their products right now are formulated to suit Filipino skin.

EB Advance Cheek Color in Fig

A brown hue blush that has matte finish. It looks natural on my skin since I'm morena. Be careful in applying, it is very pigmented and you might go overboard. 'Di bale ng kulang kaysa sobra.

I'm a sucker for cute, compact and lightweight items. Though, it's not sturdy. (Try tapping the cover and you'll get what I mean) It is a transparent plastic container with mirror and brush.

This is long-lasting blush, I had it on my face a day after I bought it. It was scorching hot that day and the rest of my makeup wears off but I still have natural blush on my face. Can you imagine how good is that?

It has no tingling effect on my face. I told you, their blush makes my face itchy but still, need to be wary of this product.

This is how it looks with a flash:

And with no flash, indoor lighting:

It comes in 6 shades and available nationwide. If I got right, it was released last January 2016. For P175.00 only, you can have this blush. So visit the nearest department in your place!

Month-end loot: Local Brands

Hello there!

Do you have any favorite products from local brand?

At an early age, I'm already obsessed with makeup and as time goes by, my love for them grows bigger.

I can still remember my struggle to save money in order to buy cosmetics,books (I'm a bookworm as well) and clothes. My parents taught us to save money if we want to splurge on something aside from the basic needs they provide. And it really works for all of us, especially now that we're grown-ups.

To be honest, I haven't explore local brand though I tried some before. Then lately, I've been watching some videos online (of my favorite vloggers) about their local product must have. With that, it gave me the boost that I need to start my way knowing local brand. But still hesitant.

With a nervous smile on my face, I approached the saleslady on Ever Bilena stall in department store. I tend to talk with them since they'll help you learn more abot the products they offer. There's one thing you have to remind yourself whenever you talk to saleslady; prepare yourself for a lot of questions.

Here are the products I got from Ever Bilena.

Studio Finish Stick Foundation (P210.00)

EB Advance Cheek Color in Fig (P175.00)

EB Advance Perfecr Eyebrow in Medium Brown (P60.00)

Sponge (P50.00)

I also bought some from Maybelline since I'm running out of make-up remover and mascara. Plus the Nichido Precise Liner is eye catching since its 50% off!

Maybelline Hypercurl Mascara (P149.00 ; original price is P199.00, less P50)

Maybelline Make Up Remover 70ml (P199.00)

Nichido Precise Liner (P75.00; original price is P150.00)

There are other products I'd like to try as well. However, I'm on a limited budget since I'm (f)unemployed. Ha-ha! Still, I can get my hands on those products soon.
