Ever Bilena x Kris Aquino Life Kits: Is it worth it?

Love Love Love. Is the catchphrase she always say when she was still hosting on television. I am not a big fan of Kris Aquino, BUT I am a makeup junkie, so I bought her collection in collaboration with Ever Bilena!

To be honest, I was not expecting anything from it as a lot of actors who have these kinds of collaborations are not really working hands on. I was quite surprised when I heard about this collaboration as I wasn’t thinking that she’d be doing a collab with one of the most affordable makeup brands here in the Philippines.
Her collab is called the Kris Aquino Life Kits. It consists of a Matte Matic Lipstick and a Brow Liner with a Brow Mascara. They only have 2 shades of each product for now. I’m not sure if they’ll be releasing some other products though.
Anyway, here are my thoughts regarding these 2 products.

Kris Matte Matic Lipstick in “Life” (P245)

PROS
  • Lightweight on the lips.
  • Has minimal transfer.
  • Hassle-free as it’s retractable.
  • Not drying especially when first applied.
  • Has great packaging.
  • Shade suits a lot of skin tones.
  • Easily accessible.
  • Pigmented.
CONS
  • Price isn’t the same with their usual lip products.
  • Doesn’t have a lot of shades available.
  • Creates white crusts on your lips after 5 hours of wear.
  • Looks a bit dry when re-applied.

Tip: It would be great if you wear a lip balm underneath to avoid having white crusts on your lips at the end of the day.

Kris Matte Brow Liner (P275)

PROS
  • Affordable.
  • Easily Accessible.
  • Pigmented.
  • Doesn’t come off easily even when you’re sweating.
  • Easy to use.
  • Travel-Friendly.
  • The brow mascara spooly is super cute.
CONS
  • Doesn’t have a spooly.
  • The brow liner is a bit thick, so you may need to clean the surrounding of your brows to make it more on fleek.

 

After 5 hours of wear, I still have some product on my lips and my brows still looked on fleek even when I was sweating.

You may or may not like Kris Aquino, but I’m not going to lie, I like her products and I must say they’re worth it! I hope Ever Bilena releases some more lipstick shades with the same formula as I really love it. It’s not the same as the matte lipstick I bought from them a couple of months ago which is VERY DRYING!

I would definitely recommend her products to all of my readers (If I have one. lol).

 

Have you tried her products? Do you think the prices are just right? Leave a comment below on what you think of this collab.

Thank you for reading everyone!
