Influenster does it again! They hooked it up with not one, but two amazing products from prestige brand Make Up For Ever and I can't wait to spill the deets.

Sharing the unboxing for this over on my social media seemed to peak a lot of interest in the Influenster program. If you'd like to sign up, click here.

The two products included in the VoxBox are the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD liquid and stick foundations. Here's some general info before getting into the review.

L I Q U I D F O U N D A T I O N | This is my second time testing MUFE's Ultra HD Liquid Foundation. My first experience was complimentary through Ipsy's Generation Beauty LA event back in January. I was shade matched a few shades too dark and for whatever reason, I absolutely did not get on with the formula on my oily skin. It just didn't hold up over time. My hopes weren't high at all when I received the Influenster box, but thought I'd give it a shot anyway, especially because so many Insta friends love it so much.

Much to my surprise, I was floored by just how gorgeous this wears on the skin this time around. I don't have a definite answer as to why the two shade colors perform so differently on my skin, but through the grapevine, I heard that MUFE had changed their formula.

It's still pretty warm here in Cali, so I've really been putting it to the test these past couple of months. With a good primer, this foundation really holds up and lays beautifully. It's incredibly comfortable on the skin throughout the day, which is huge in my world! It's a thin consistency with a true medium, buildable coverage that I like to use with the Sigma Flat Top Kabuki brush or a beauty sponge. I did notice that the foundation lasted longer on my oily skin when used with a brush. Something about a damp sponge seemed to disrupt the longevity of the formula on my skin, so keep that in mind if you're an oily type like me.

I'd recommend the liquid foundation predominately for dry to combo skin types. Oily can get away with using it, but you'll need a good primer/setting spray regime.

S T I C K F O U N D A T I O N | Holy pigmentation! I was not expecting it to pack such a punch. It's marketed as a medium to full coverage, but I'd say this one is pretty full on. Though this is a heavier coverage, you're still able to move the product around for a lightweight feeling application. It's a lovely, moisturizing formula, which is hard to come by in stick format since they usually run quite a bit dry. This product is superb.

I requested the shade 115=R250 which I use as a concealer/cream highlight alongside the liquid foundation. Its smooth formula is creamy enough to glide over skin like a dream and blends in great even for under eyes. I'd recommend this for all skin types, oily types must set with powder.

I'm now a full on believer of both Make Up For Ever HD Foundations. The shade range in their liquid format is extensive enough to satisfy most complexions which, as a beauty blogger, really makes me excited. Both formats give a high-quality finish leaving your skin camera ready and is no wonder as to why it's a favorite among makeup artists and public figures.

A big thank you to Influenster and Make Up For Ever for supplying these foundations for review. As always, all opinions are 100% true to my experience. If you have any questions, I'm here for ya ;)
