My Ever Bilena Pro Longwear Lipstick in Eager and Cherish were bought around 2012 and 2009 respectively. EAGER is the brightest shade among the testers, a CANDY RED shade and has a magenta undertone. I was hoping it would be a neon scarlet red but will do. The other shade I had back in 2009 was CHERISH, a skin tone nude.
These lipsticks have a mild solvent scent and made me real dizzy when it was worn. After a week, this odor gradually disappeared. The lipstick has vitamin E and the right creaminess, moist enough to glide smoothly but not overly moist. You get a very glossy finish on the lips. Unfortunately, the creaminess led to the bullet breaking off on my very first swatch using a gentle hand! It gives a watershine effect and is indeed longwearing. The gloss gradually disappears after hours but the pigment still stays. Unlike other lipsticks where you can feel its waxes, it felt very light and watery. However, once it dries, it could feel drying and hot on my lips.
Great: very pigmented, longwearing as promised, cheap, glossy finish
Against: once the moisture dries, it could feel very drying and hot on the lips
