Kris x Ever Bilena Matte Powder Foundation

Kris Matte Powder Foundation is a collaboration between Kris Aquino and Ever Bilena. This powder foundation comes in three shades: Lasting (fair), Lifetime (medium), and Love Story (medium deep).

What I got from the mystery box is the shade Love Story.

CLAIMS Expertly formulated with moisturizers and oil absorbent. Shine free and hydrated skin for hours. Natural looking coverage.

PACKAGING Black box with pink hearts (very Kris Aquino). Sophisticated looking and so sleek. However, the container itself is made of very light cheap plastic, but the overall look is really nice . 

THE PRODUCT It's a compact powder with a Kris signature stamp for seal of approval which means the product is approved by Kris herself. It's yellow undertone, thus it's perfect for Filipno skin. Love Story shade is great for morena like me but it's just a little tad bit darker for my shade right now. I probably have to wait for summer to come and this would perfectly fit my skin. It's powdery though but it doesn't bother me. I like that it's matter and very light on the skin. Didn't oxidize at all. It's scented but it doesn't have the cheap foundation smell that i expect from local makeup powders. The smell isn't strong too which i like and it didn't made me sneeze (I'm sensitive to smell). 

THE VERDICT At the cost of Php295 this product is a real steal. It's perfect for those who are in a budget for cosmetics but doesn't want to compromise the quality. No wonder there's a big hype for this product.
As to its claims, though the powder is matte, it doesn't dry up my skin probably because i have an oily skin and i used a moisturizer before applying the powder. As to its coverage, it's very light and good only for a touch up or to set your liquid foundation. It's indeed very light on the skin, as if you're not wearing anything at all. I didn't like the sponge that came with it, but normally i throw away the sponge that comes with any compact powder. 
This product is now available in Ever Bilena counters nationwide at Php295 only. You can also get this online at Lazada and BeautyMnl.
