Make Up For Ever Voxbox!

I recently received a Make Up For Ever Voxbox from Influenster, to test out for a review. The review is for Make Up For Ever's new Matte Velvet skin blurring powder foundation which retails for $38.

The packaging of the foundation is really nice, it comes in a metal tin with a pop open latch. Inside you'll find a good sized mirror, the foundation and a sponge applicator. I really like the applicator they sent with this, one side feels like a beauty blender and the other feels like a soft velvet.

The foundation itself is silky smooth and light weight, you can barely tell you are wearing it. It applies smooth and evenly, one layer is just right. You can use it by itself or use it with a primer, either way it is bound to look great. I've used this on three different occasions so far and it doesn't seem like I've used a lot of the product so I think this will last me quite some time. I am pretty happy with this product and look forward to using it more. You can instantly see it working as you are applying it, however if you have any dark color spots you need covered I may apply slightly more than one coat, otherwise it gives you a nice complete foundation look.

L'Oreal Rouge Signature VoxBox!

I recently received a new Voxbox from Influenster and I am pretty excited about it because I am always on the look for new lipsticks. The Voxbox I received features L'Oreal Paris and their new Rouge Signature matte liquid lipstick collection which retails for $11.99 ($9.99 at Target) and comes in twelve different colors. I received the shades "I Create" - A nude with hints a brownish hue , "I Rule" - A pink that is a bit nude & "I am worth it" - A deep red.




I am pleased with the product packaging, each tube holds 0.23fl oz of lipstick. The tubes are almost bullet like in shape and the container looks like glass but it is actually a thick plastic so even if you drop it, the tube won't break. The tube also features a tight seal to keep the product safe and the applicator brush is quite nice in shape and feel. The applicator brush comes to a triangular point which is a little fluffy and has grooves that help the liquid lipstick stay in place as you are pulling out the applicator. I liked how smooth the liquid lipstick we on and I was pretty pleased with the coverage I received from the product.




Out of the three I highly enjoyed "I am worth it" which is the red you see in the image above, I've worn it a few times with different looks including just wearing a bit of black liner and a polka dot headband for a kind of vintage/rockabilly look. My go to is "I Rule" shown in the second image above, it is more of a creamy pink that is almost nude and it goes well with both bold looks and subtle looks. I do not however like the "I Create", it didn't really go with my skin tone it had a hue I almost can't describe as it came out with almost a light orange hue that I didn't enjoy.

When I took the photo of the red shade above it was actually a day I was just messing around with my makeup and contacts so I decided why not take the shots for the lipsticks as well? My mistake was trying out the red first, once I wiped it off I found that it worked like a lipstain and my lips stayed a slightly darker pink color than my lips normally are so you could tell I had something on earlier in the day. It actually looked pretty cute and I wasn't unhappy with it, but you could see the color through the other two shades so I put off taking photos of the other two. I get about 3-4 hours wear out of each application before needing to re-apply. This is a lipstick that I see myself using fairly often and I look forward to trying out more shades when I find them in store.

Which of the three shades do you like the most?
