August 2013, I bought the Ever Bilena Advance Two Way Cake in Oriental, hoping for a powder with thicker coverage and better performance.
The packaging comes in white (I hate white packaging!) and the plastic casing looks very durable and strong. The good thing with this powder foundation is that it has refills and do not emit any funky smell like the other variants.
Unlike their other powder foundations, this one has a thicker consistency, obviously it means thicker coverage. The shade I own is Oriental (Golden Beige is too warm on me). Thank goodness this shade is a close match to my golden beige skin tone without looking pale or chalky, and that the finish never oxidizes to grey any time of the day. It has great performance and also oil control. I can't ask for more.

Siguro sa mga EB powder foundations na nasubukan ko -- two of them I hated so much, while this one was good to me in terms of coverage, and even better was their EB Matte Two Way Cake in terms of oil control.
Great: affordable, refills, good performance and oil control, thicker coverage, no oxidize
Against: none
