I used to think that local products like Ever Bilena were cheap because they're probably made of harsh chemicals and ingredients but after some thorough research online, I never came across people who complained about experiencing any. In fact, the most raved product by video beauty gurus and bloggers (one of them's the famous Bambi dela Cruz--

Mauvey and Off Beat Pink. Mauvey is a nude pink shade while Off Beat Pink reminds me of MAC's Pink Nouveau.. a lot. Sorry for my chipping nail polish, btw.
Swatch-ed! As compared to my existing lipsticks. (L-R) MAC Girl About Town, EB Mauvey, EB Off Beat Pink, MAC Viva Glam Gaga, MAC Cherish
I am so hooked I bought a new color of the EB Matte lipstick today after my mom's birthday lunch! This one's in Pink Flame, my current favorite. It's a bit darker than Off Beat Pink but I like this one better. I also got LA Color's liquid make up for the first time since this product has gained online popularity as well.

What I do like:-Cheap
-It surprisingly lasts long (probably 3-5 hours)
-Matte!!! I'm a matte fan <3
-Basically everything!
What I don't like:-They're gonna get discontinued at the end of the month in exchange for a more expensive line. Le sigh.
-Color cap detaches really easy so I had to superglue it to the lipstick.
-They say it's drying but all I ever needed was a lipbalm prior to applying and it's perfect!
I'm planning to hoard tomorrow since it's the last day of the Php99 sale. Goodbye, cheap matte lipstick!
