Earlier this month, I received a box from
Ever Bilena which contained some of the brand's best-selling products. I'll be featuring every single item in the
package (although I have qualms about using the falsies since my eyelids seem to have an aversion for eyelash glue), starting with these Cheek Blushers.

Ever Bilena Cheek Blush in Honest, Earth, and Raisin. |
Here's a brief description of the product written at the back of the box.
With Ever Bilena Cheek Blush, you can brush on a gorgeous glow and achieve your ultimate beauty. It is formulated to provide the much needed sun protection as well as infused with Vitamin E, C & K to moisturize, soften, and enhance your radiance.

Product description and ingredients at the back. |
I like that these blushes offer sun protection, though I wish I knew the exact measure of the sun protection factor.

Feeling the MAC vibe in the packaging? :) |
Now the first thing I noticed about these blushers is their packaging. They're very similar to MAC's - black round pot, with a clear, lift-off lid. But wait, there's more!

Mirror and brush. |
There's actually another compartment underneath the blush pan, which holds a small mirror and a blush brush. I'm not too keen about the latter though, as it sheds like crazy and smells a bit, well, funky. I prefer using my own blush brush, thank you very much.

A closer look at the brush. |
Moving on, here's a closer look at the blushers.

Ever Bilena Cheek Blush in Honest. |
Honest is a warm peach, almost orange-y blush with a a matte finish. This blush is highly pigmented and has a powdery texture. And by powdery I mean fall-outs. Lots of 'em.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxSpAhl9La_fICvJwb73ndiQyUuAypMO0VlFm8xsRr_LMTM9hmOD4NkuJZaq1TLv3hEAOcBcBV3oV0QGKm1eLPaK46vLN7X3ZICCBNmYNPGLpbGuGV-M8Gl4CTH-ArYtqcdKOlg6IdlcEd/s1600/DSCF5281.JPG) |
Honest, up close. |
Fair-skinned ladies might find this shade a bit intimidating, and to be honest
(pun intended) this shade really did give me a shock at first swipe. Apparently, the trick to applying this shade correctly is to use it with a light hand - just a light swirl on the blush, tap the excess, and swipe it softly across the cheeks.

Earth, on the other hand, is a lovely, warm shade of brown - the kind that gives your cheeks a natural, sun-kissed glow. This shade is nicely pigmented and quite versatile, as it can also be used as a bronzer.

Ever Bilena Cheek Blush in Earth. |
Unlike Honest, this shade has a light, shimmery finish and has a smooth, buttery texture. No fall-outs here!

Finally, there's
Raisin, a peachy pink shade that's perfect for everyday wear.

Ever Bilena Cheek Blush in Raisin. |
Raisin has a smooth, buttery consistency and has a soft, matte finish.

Raisin, up close. |
This shade is my favorite among the bunch for the following reasons: 1) the color is buildable, 2) this one suits my skin tone nicely, 3) it leaves my cheeks with a natural-looking, pinkish flush.
