Ever Bilena and EB Advance has a ton of new products recently. They've released Careline Play to Slay palette yesterday at Lazada and also launched a new all mattes eyeshadow palette. I think those will take a while to hit stores so before I get to play with them, I figured I should first publish a written review of the Ever Bilena Fig Trio from the Face Trio line of EB Advance.
EB Advance Fig Trio Swatches and Review from Ever Bilena!
What is the EB Advance Fig Trio?
The Ever Bilena Advance Fig Trio palette is part of the 2-palette collection from the EB Advance Face Trio line (shown below). The packaging is the same as the EB Advance Blush Duo (video review here) but instead of the last compartment housing the brush, it now hosts a highlighter.
Note that the shades for the EB Advance Face Trio are not the same as their Blush Duo. It seems the only colors they've retained are the Ever Bilena fig blush and bronzer.
A palette retails for P275 pesos and you get nearly 10 grams of pressed powder total.
The Eb Advance Face Trio in Fig is the usual favorite for most of those who've tried both but if you have fair skin like mine, I honestly think you'd enjoy the Sunset Trio more although it has an orange blush. Used sparingly, that orange blush is so flattering! I'd review the EB Advance Face Trio in Sunset next.
The packaging is the same as the Blush Duo. Good size mirror, sturdy white plastic palette, and the powders are pressed nicely. I can't remember if their older palette is also paraben-free but the EB Advance Face Trio is not just paraben-free, it is cruelty-free as well! Yay!
Colors in the palette are 2 matte powders, one as a blush and another as a bronzer/contour. The other powder is a pale gold shimmer that's great for highlighting if you have medium skintone and have a yellow or olive undertone.
Both matte powders are easy to apply and not patchy (but I have nice brushes). I think the bronzer/contour is a bit too warm for me but may work well for the majority of Filipinas so that's still good.
The highlighter is a bit dark for my light skin but I like the texture. I prefer the EB Advance Glow Out Highlighter that I also have a review of although both formulas last for about half a day on my combination skin. Generally speaking, EB Advance highlighters are good naman eh.
So how does the new EB Advance Fig Trio blush compare with the fig blush from the EB Advance Blush Duo?
The shades are nearly the same as you can see in the photo above but the color for the new release leans a bit on the warm side. When blended with contour and applied on the face, they look the same. Without contour, the new fig blush is more suited to the warm undertone of most Filipinas.
A quick side by side comparison with the EB Advance Sunset Trio. You can see how both perform in the video below.

By the way, the colors do blend well. I just swatched them heavily for illustration purposes.
