Moisture and Color in One Swipe: A Review of Ever Bilena’s Moisture Boost Serum Lip Stick
Lipstick trends have taken a turn for the better. Gone are the days when matte formulas reigned supreme, leaving lips dry and unforgivingly cracked by midday. Now, it’s all about hydration, comfort, and color that wears well throughout the day. The Ever Bilena Moisture Boost Serum Lip Stick (P 295 / 2.5 g) is a perfect example of this shift—packed with nourishing ingredients while still delivering strong pigment and a long-lasting stain.
One of the standout features of this lipstick is its formulation. Infused with Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin E, it feels more like a lip treatment than just a regular lipstick. The texture is smooth and lightweight, gliding effortlessly across the lips without dragging. There's no heavy, waxy feel, which makes it comfortable to wear for hours.
While the initial layer of color will transfer with eating and drinking, what’s impressive is the stain it leaves behind. After a meal, even when the top layer wears off, my lips still look alive. I tested this for a full five hours, and while the vibrancy faded, the stain remained intact. This makes reapplication easier since I don’t have to start from scratch each time. Just a quick swipe, and my lips look fresh again.
Ever Bilena released nine shades for this collection, and they are all designed to flatter warm and neutral undertones. However, I did notice that the range leans towards brighter hues. If you're looking for pale nudes or muted browns, this might not be the line for you. Instead, expect peachy, rosy, and red tones that give the lips a healthy, vibrant look.
My top shade pick is Misty Mauve, which is also the most toned-down color in the range. It’s a delicate warm pink that looks sophisticated and natural, perfect for those who prefer a more understated lip. My second choice is Toast of New York, which is Ever Bilena’s reimagined version of their iconic shade. Unlike its original deep brown tones, this new version has a more muted red undertone, making it fresher and more wearable for everyday looks.
While I personally love these shades, it’s important to note that some of the other colors can be quite bold. If you prefer softer, barely-there lips, you might have trouble finding a match in this collection. But if you enjoy peachy corals, warm reds, and juicy berry tones, then you’re in for a treat.
This lipstick isn’t marketed as a long-wearing formula, but its staining ability makes it more durable than your average moisturizing lipstick. It won’t last through an entire day without touch-ups, but it holds up surprisingly well for a hydrating formula. I find that it starts to fade after a few hours, but since the stain is strong, it never looks patchy or uneven. The compact size also makes it convenient to carry around for quick reapplications.
Another thing I appreciate is how evenly it wears off. Some lipsticks tend to fade awkwardly, leaving a ring of color around the lips, but this one disappears gradually and naturally.
Overall
Ever Bilena has been stepping up their game when it comes to their lipstick formulas, and this one is proof of that. The Moisture Boost Serum Lipstick delivers a good balance between hydration, pigmentation, and lasting power. While it doesn’t have the full coverage of a matte lipstick, the comfortable wear, good opacity, and strong stain make up for it.
If you love bright, warm-toned lipsticks and prefer formulas that feel weightless and hydrating, this is worth adding to your collection. The shade range may not cater to those who prefer softer or cooler-toned colors, but for anyone looking for peachy, red, and rosy shades, this is a solid option. At P295, it’s also an affordable way to experiment with color while keeping lips nourished throughout the day.
