Review: Ever Bilena Pillow Pop Multi Pot

If you love cream products but have oily skin (a struggle, I know), then you’ve probably been let down by ones that feel too sticky or disappear by lunchtime. It’s hard to find something that sits just right, you know, something blendable, lightweight, and long-wearing. So when I got my hands on the Ever Bilena Pillow Pop Multi Pot, I was cautiously excited. A bouncy, creamy-to-powder formula for just P295 (or P143 on sale!)? Sounds promising. But does it deliver?
First off, the texture reminds me of mochi—slightly bouncy, but with a firmer consistency than, say, Fwee Pudding Pots. It’s got just the right amount of give, which actually makes application easier. Too-soft creams can sometimes feel greasy or hard to control, but this one glides on smoothly without feeling heavy. It doesn’t emphasize texture or cling to dry patches either, which is a huge plus.
However, the tool you use makes a difference. Fingers? Not my favorite method as it doesn’t pick up enough product, and the formula doesn’t blend as evenly. A dense synthetic brush? Too much! It applies too thickly and makes blending harder. The best tool for this is a fluffy brush for eyes and cheeks. This way, you can layer the product gradually and get that effortless, soft-focus finish.
What I appreciate about the Pillow Pop Multi Pot is that Ever Bilena didn’t just stop at blush. The lineup includes contour, highlight, and even lip-friendly shades, making this a true multi-use product—at least in theory (more on that later).
The blush shades are gorgeous! I personally love Dreamy Dahlia, a delicate cool pink with fine shimmer. It’s just glowy enough without being shimmery—perfect for a fresh, youthful look. Dreamy Coral and Dreamy Rose lean warmer and more pigmented, great for that sun-kissed flush. If you love bolder colors, Dreamy Punch is a deep, warm red that looks stunning on morena skin.
These blend like a dream, especially with a light hand. The formula feels weightless and never patchy, which is key for cream-to-powder products.
I made a video swatching all of the shades on my face so you have a better idea of what each color looks like:
I wasn’t expecting much from the contour shades (drugstore contour products can be hit-or-miss), but Toasted Pecan is a nice neutral taupe that is great for creating shadows without looking muddy. Toasted Oak is warmer and doubles as a bronzer. Both apply evenly and sheerly, so you won’t accidentally overdo it.
As for highlighters, Glitzy Champagne and Glitzy Gold are subtle but effective. No chunky glitter, just a soft glow that melds into the skin beautifully. If you like a natural, everyday highlight, these will work for you.
But is it really multi-use?
Yes... but not on the lips. While the formula works great on the cheeks, it feels too powdery on the lips if you layer too much. The color sits on top rather than sinking in, which isn’t the most comfortable. If you still want to make it work, apply a lip balm first, then dab on the color so it blends in better.
As for staying power, cream blushes tend to disappear quickly on oily skin, but this one lasts a solid 4-5 hours without setting spray. With a spritz of setting spray, I’ve worn it up to 9 hours and it’s still visible! It fades evenly, too with no weird patchiness or streaks.
Overall
This might just be one of Ever Bilena’s best formulas yet. It’s beginner-friendly, long-wearing, and works especially well for oily skin. The only downside is the lip performance, but if you’re mainly looking for a blendable, effortless blush, contour, or highlight, then this is a steal. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just make sure to grab a fluffy brush for the best application!
