The Ever Bilena Advance BB Compact was a fresh new product around 2015, and it came in this cute iridescent violet-colored case. There's a separate compartment for the sponge and for the cake, as usual. Looking at the ingredients list, there is nothing of interest other than Vitamin C, dimethicone (silicone), and the usual chemicals.
Like the BB Cream version, it also comes in shades of Natural and Oriental. Naturally, I went for Oriental. This shade looks just a tad darker or bronzed on my skin. That's the disadvantage of having 2 shades only.
Oil control is okay, and lasts about 4 hours only. After that, it looks like the powder oxidizes and becomes much darker. Frankly, what's with the BB if they didn't include much beneficial ingredients, right? Also, refills would also be highly appreciated.
To me, this is an okay but not great product. Anyway, they have already come up with their best ever powder foundation in 2017, the Ever Bilena Matte Two Way Cake and I very much prefer that one.
