Hello, sorry it's been such a long time since I published a monthly All Star favorites post. I don't know why but I just wasn't feeling it each month. I couldn't get excited when writing this and that just results in mindless writing. After I thought about, a lot, I decided to switch it up and add a few things to spice up my monthly All Star post. Now I include a All Star makeup product( like before), most exciting new beauty release, all star beauty brand, all star post of the month, favorite Instagram account,mfavorite beauty Youtuber, and favorite blog. I thought it would be nice to include other beauty blogs/vlogs for more support in the beauty world. I have always been a firm believer in supporting other people and I thought this was just the way to do so. Now let's get started!
All Star Makeup Product
My All Star product of the month is Physicians Formula Shimmer Strip in Natural Nude. The price is around $12 at the drugstore. It can be used for multiple things, highlighting (my favorite), bronzing, blush, and eyeshadow. I haven't used it for bronzing since its shimmery but I'm sure it would look beautiful if worn correctly. As a highlighter, it's simply beyond gorgeous. It's smooth and pigmented. It's catches the light exactly how I want it to. The consistency is so finely milled and doesn't make my skin look horrid around my textured areas.
Now on to the eyes, it's a life saver for days I want to have a natural look( or you can go all out, too). There's plenty of highlight shades for the brow bone, crease shades, dark colors for extra depth. Unfortunately, this kit doesn't include any matte shades but I still love it. I know everyone loves matte shades but sometimes we just want to shimmer like a disco ball... Atleast on the eyes and check bones that is.
Most Exciting Beauty Release
The most exciting beauty release for me would have to be the new Too Faced palettes called Sugar Pop and Natural Matte. Sugar Pop has extremely pretty spring shades and the matte palette includes all matte shades (duh!), so of course I was excited about that. They both sell for $36 each. Which one are you going to buy?
All Star Beauty Brand
My most loved brand would probably be Physicians Formula. I absolutely love their affordable products. They can be pricey for drugstore, but their ingredients are high quality. Plus, all of their products are actually good for our skin. Not to mention most of the stuff they sell is great makeup, especially their bronzers! But what really made me adore the company is the generosity and love they show to their loyal customers. I have noticed they have great customer service and they host a lot of giveaways. I know it can be hard to win giveaways but when they do it they include 500 or 1000 winners every time. How generous!
All Star Post Of The Month
My most loved post of the month was the Too Faced Cocoa Contour Review. In the review I talked about my thoughts on the palette and shared some swatches of each shade. I hate to spoil the review but I gotta say I love it! Every time I whip it out I want to go to my kitchen and stir up some hot cocoa! A few extra calories won't hurt when I can chisel out my cheek bones to look slimmer!
Favorite Instagram Account
The reason why I chose Instagram over other social media networks is because its based on pictures and that's where I get the most inspiration. I also feel like you can see more of someone's personality through pictures on Instgram rather than words on Twitter. That being said, my favorite Instagram account this month is Ssssamanthaa. She's a gorgeous makeup artist from Canada with a great personality. She also has a YouTube channel along with a couple of other girls but they don't post that often so their not my favorite YouTube channel. Anyway, her pictures are on point and flow in the inspiration like a tsunami wave. Click here to check out her Instagram page!
Favorite Beauty Youtuber
I figured since this is the first time I'm posting the new version of "Monthly All Stars" I'll talk about my all time favorite beauty youtuber. Now I'm not choosing her because she has a huge following or anything like that. I'm choosing her because she's funny, sweet, beautiful, talented and she cares about her fans. Her name is Jaclyn Hill and I'm sure you've heard of her by now. She's the girl that started the "Yaaasss" and "amazeballs" trend. Her videos are really helpful if you need some makeup ideas for any time of the year. Her incredible talent has given her the opportunity to work with brands such as Gerard Cosmetics, Sigma, and Morphe. If you don't know who she is, you're missing out.

Favorite Blog
Everyone knows of Temptalia. It's one of the biggest beauty sites ran by a girl named Christine. She reviews almost every product out there. She doesn't really do tutorials or beauty topics but the reviews are great. So if I'm every interested in a foundation or anything like that I'll check her review first. Their always detailed and on point. Sometimes I just don't want to spend $30+ on a foundation that won't work on my dry skin, so that where I go! Click here to check out her blog!
