The NEW Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette!

The New Urban Decay Naked Basics

Hello, my lovelies! If you were wondering, I've been out for a while with a strange illness (with the oddest symptoms), and I've been spending all week trying to catch up on school work. But I simply HAD to tell you all about the newest Naked Edition in Urban Decay!

The Naked Palette by Urban Decay was released in the summer of 2010 and has become one of the most legendary modern concepts in the makeup world. The nude colors with a POP changed the industry, and since then a Naked 2 Palette was released, and now the new Naked Basics!

This new palette features 6 naturally nude matte nude colors including four never before seen shades (from left to right); Venus, Foxy, W.O.S., Naked 2, Faint, and Crave. This new Naked Palette is $27.00, and you can find it on Urban Decay's website and at my favorite store, Sephora!

Winter Fashion: Puffer Coats

Hello, my lovelies! Happy December! It's time for cold winter days, and a great way to keep warm is by wearing a puffer coat. Puffer coats are stylish winter coats with a bubbled frame. Warm, trendy, and perfect for winter weather!

Hello December!

Hello, my lovelies! It's finally December, the most festive month of the year! It's finally time for corny Christmas movies, crowded days at the mall, hot cocoa and fireplaces, and winter fashion trends!

December is one of my favorite months of the year, and I have a warm, fuzzy feeling that this December is going to be a special one. So let's get to our monthly reflection:

Last month, November, Aisles of Beauty did a lot of great things. It was Aisles of Beauty's 6-month anniversary! Yippee! I didn't meet the 25 post goal for the month, but I posted Aisles of Beauty's first Youtube Video: Sweaters and Smokey Eyes, plus a Bloopers video!

That plus our November Surprises makes a pretty great month. But December's going to be even better. This month's goals:

• 20+ posts
• 3+ Youtube Videos
• 2+ product reviews

Get ready for a great December, lovelies!

Stay beautiful!

Fall/Winter Fashion: Oversized Coats

Hello, my lovelies! Today's the last day of November, and I wanted to end the month with a post with a fall/winter fashion trend; oversized coats. I first saw this trend in the Dec/Jan issue of TeenVogue. My Abuela thinks it looks crazy, but I think if you wear it right, it might be flattering... Here are some more pics, and let me know what you think of it!

Stay beautiful!

Quiz: What's Your Holiday Style?

Hello, my lovelies! I was thinking about how routine Aisles of Beauty seems lately, and I wanted to mix things up a little bit, you know? How about November Surprise #3? I created a cute little quiz for you lovelies to try out, and you can find out what your Holiday Style is! Just answer the questions, and before you hit submit, write down a, b, c, or d for each question on a sticky note. Then hit submit and scroll below to see where your answers match!  Now remember, this is my first try at a quiz, so bare with me!

Mostly A's

Mostly A's - Your holiday style is chill. You prefer to relax at home then be a part of all the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Festive winter sweaters paired with comfy jeans are a perfect look for you! You can rock a soft eye, perhaps pastel eyeshadow, flushed cheeks, and peach or pink lip. There will be a lot of pinks and peaches in your makeup. If you want to spice up the look, contour with a bronzer for a stronger face with the soft features.

Mostly B's

Mostly B's - Your holiday style is carefree. You know how to make any occasion a fun time! Loud, unique colors and prints are perfect for you! Tuck a plain top into a funky skirt, and accessorize with some chunky fun jewelry! A little cat liner on the eyes and tinted gloss on the lips, and you're set! Want to spice it up even more? Colored mascara is perfect for you, swipe a few coats to match your funky skirt, and you're ready to go!

Mostly C's

Mostly C's - Your holiday style is adventurous. You like to create gifts with your imagination and try new things and travel to destinations unknown. You need a look just as imaginative and creative as you are. Winter lace is bold, but elegant, and you can rock it easily. Give your hair a windswept style and wear a bold, red lip. This look is simple, yet exciting, and you can personalize it in more ways than one! Pair faux leather with your lace or add a glittering purse for more adventure.

Mostly D's

Mostly D's - Your holiday style is glamourous. You love the shopping and hustle and bustle of the holidays, and this is your time to shine. The first four letters in glamourous spell glam, and that's a great way to show your holiday spirit! Wear a glitzy, glam dress, and you can keep the rest of your look minimal. Simple black heels, a nude clutch, and a smokey eye are perfect complements to the dress. Create a smokey eye, swipe on a bit of mascara, and you're set for the night!


You don't have to be adventurous to rock a red lip, or chill to wear your favorite sweater. Match up these ideas with your personality, and what you think is fun, and look great for the holidays, which are just around the corner!

Stay beautiful!

Fall Fashion: Cozy Sweaters

A cozy, slouchy sweater is perfect for fall!

Hello, my lovelies! Did everyone have a fabulous Black Friday? Well, today is Small Business Saturday, so go and support your family and friends and neighbors that own their own businesses!

An Aisles of Beauty reader asked me recently what type of sweaters she should wear with her smokey eye. For those unaware, Sweaters and Smokey Eyes is a gorgeous, classic fall look, and its also the name of my first Youtube video. I teach you how to create the perfect smokey eye to match your fabulous sweaters. Watch it here.

In addition to the sweaters you see in my Youtube video, I thought I'd compile some pics of cute fall sweaters than can easily be paired with a smokey eye... My favorite is the pink sweater you just saw. Here are some more, credit to Tumblr:

As long as you feel comfortable and stylish in the sweater you're in, it's perfect. Enjoy your Small Business Saturday, and get ready for Cyber Monday! 

Stay beautiful!

Happy Black Friday!

Black Friday 2012

Hello, my lovelies! Happy Black Friday! For those of you who've already ventured out to the mall at 3 am for doorbuster deals, congrats to you. Go ahead and get your Christmas shopping done, maybe you can buy me a few things too.

Unfortunately for me, my mother is refusing to let me out of the house, because she's worried I'll get run over by wild civilians or worse... Spend money. Gasp! House Arrest again... Deja vú.

So here I am blogging to you, hopelessly awaiting Cyber Monday, when maybe I'll get lucky and catch a deal or seven. I have so much Christmas shopping to do this year, and I'm stuck going to Five Below with my younger sisters a week before Christmas when all the good stuff is gone. I suppose its tradition. =(

On a happier note, my Thanksgiving was wonderful, I stuffed my face with turkey and stuffing and macaroni and platanos (fried plantains)... I hate cranberry sauce, so I had none of that. With a wave of fatigue I helped a bit with the dishes and headed upstairs to relax. Did you know, countless people have been asking for help with their blogs and websites after seeing the success of Aisles of Beauty. =) All because of you guys!

Enjoy your Black Friday everybody, and don't worry if you don't get everything you need. There's still Cyber Monday, and a lot of stores are extending their deals to get "in the black."

Stay beautiful!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream Sample

Hello, my lovelies! Last week, at about 4pm, an idea struck me. I'm well into my Sephora Mattifying Foundation, but because winter aka the season of dry skin is coming up, I've been thinking about switching to a more moisturizing foundation. Then I thought: BB Cream. If you haven't heard of this widespread phenomenon, then you must live under a rock on planet Jupiter, because BB Cream is HUGE. Originating from Asia, BB Cream stands for Beauty Balm, and combines skincare with makeup to create the ultimate 1 step beautifying solution.

Every major makeup brand has its own BB Cream, but I tried Maybelline Dream Fresh, because their marketing team consists of geniuses. In the latest issue of Seventeen Magazine, inside a Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream ad was a packet with a free sample of it's light/medium shade and a coupon for $1 off until the end of the year! As a subscriber, I get every issue a month early, but when I first saw the sample I didn't think I'd like it, so I didn't even bother.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream is an 8-in-1 Skin Perfector. It claims to:

• Blur imperfections
• Brighten your complexion
• Even skin tone
• Smooth
• Hydrate
• Enhance
• Protect with SPF 30
• and it has 0% oils and heavy ingredients!

So, I tried it. Nothing to lose, right? I washed my face with a gentle cleanser (that's the before shot) and didn't apply any moisturizer or anything. My face was completely naked (besides some lip balm). Then I applied the BB Cream.

*** Disregard the fact that my face is several shades lighter in the after picture; the light/medium tint was too light for my skin color, and SPF in foundation washes faces out in photographs. If I bought the product I'd get the next shade or two up.

Four words for you: I love BB Cream. I could rave about it for hours, but just look at everything I listed. It did everything it said it would, and you couldn't even tell anything was on my face! Well, besides that it made me look lighter than normal.  =)

There was enough in the sample for 2-3 days, a little goes a long way, so I tried using both with and without my Sephora Mattifying Foundation over it. Because the BB has such sheer coverage, my mattifying foundation helped me get medium to full coverage overall. But I'm sure you could layer it and get enough coverage. A great duo, though!

Overall, I'd score this beauty balm 9.5 out of 10 stars, only because it's so good, it's not fair. My ladies with dark skin can't jump on the Dream Fresh bandwagon, because the color choices are so limiting. Only 5 fresh tones!

This BB cream sells for either $7.44 or $8.99 in the US depending where you buy (I recommend Walmart or Target for the cheaper buy), which I'd say is reasonable for all the benefits it gives you!

That's all for now folks!

Foundation Sticks?!

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick

Hello, my lovelies! I was browsing the pages of my beauty idol Michelle Phan's beauty blog, and came across a recent post about makeup for teens. Being a teenager, and writing a blog for teenagers, I immediately was drawn to the post, and discovered a phenomenon I had never heard of before: Foundation Sticks.

Michelle Phan specifically recommended the Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick, and so I checked Bobbi Brown's website to see what Foundation Sticks are all about. Foundation Sticks are "designed for portability and adjustable coverage," and are great for all skin types, except very oily (but some reviewers with oily skin said it worked just fine). You just smear some product onto your face and you can easily blend its creamy solution onto your face for a natural, even appearance. It gives sheer to full coverage depending on how much you want. According to reviewers, it's the best with combination skin. (Don't know your skin type? Find out here.)

Have you heard of Foundation Sticks? Because right now, I feel like I've been living under a rock. Do any readers use a foundation stick, or any other Bobbi Brown products? I'm seriously considering ditching my Sephora Mattifying Foundation and buying this for $42... Pricy? Well, it says a little goes a long way.

What do you think, dearest readers?

Billy B Beauty Brush Sets

The Billy B Beauty Master Brush Set - $250

Hello, my lovelies! It's been a busy weekend what with a major bar mitzvah to attend today... If I can arrange my tripod properly I'll try to take pictures and video for you. You'll see something sometime this week.

I'm blogging today because, as an official member of Beautylish, I was alerted about a new product set by Billy B Beauty. It's called the Billy B Brush Set, and it comes in a master set (featuring all the brushes in the collection), and eyes/lips/skin/contouring sets. Just like the Ocho Loco Eye Pencils, I thought about the pricing of the sets. Being a bargain hunter like myself, my most expensive brush is the $28 BareMinerals Full Flawless Application Brush, and I didn't even buy that, in came in a starter kit my aunt gave to me. So it got me thinking, makeup brushes can be expensive. Where do you buy your makeup brushes? What's your price range? 

My personal opinion? I can get eye/lip brushes from Icing by Claire's for no more than $6, and they work fine. But when it comes to foundation and concealer brushes, I'm a strong believer those are worth splurging, because they need to be high quality, and they need to be durable (so many washes!). That's why I use BareMinerals brushes for my "major" makeup tasks. 

But what do you think? Let me know, and tell me your favorite makeup brushes! And take a look at this Billy B Brush Set, I want to know what you think.

Stay beautiful!

Sephora's End of Summer Sale!

Sephora.com End of Summer Sale!

Hello, my lovelies! I spent all day yesterday having a somewhat relaxing day alone in the house (with my dad), because my mom took my sisters to the hairdresser to get their hair done... (Without me!) While that irked me endlessly, I tried to make the best of my time alone and bored by painting my nails (now they're white with little black polka dots) and doing my hair (tangle free!). 

When I wasn't doing these things, I was browsing Sephora's website (on an old MacBook since I killed my laptop a few nights ago), because they're having the ultimate End of Summer Sale! Hundreds of makeup, skincare, and bath/body beauty products are on sale for up to 65% off online!

Of course, I'll have to take advantage of this offer and buy some products that I ran out of (or am dangerously low on) this summer for Back to School. I cannot believe the first day of school is just a few days away! It seems like just yesterday it was June and I was writing about Korres Guava Lip Butter. Believe it or not, this is Aisles of Beauty's 50th Post! Can you believe it? I'd launch some sort of major giveaway, but I'm saving that for the 100th post... If I did my math correctly that should be... In October. Can't wait!

So head on over to sephora.com and check out all the fabulous products they have on sale!

Stay Beautiful!

Sephora Collection Color Daze Blockbuster

Sephora Collection Color Daze Blockbuster

Hello, my lovelies! Because I am such a major clutz, I spilled water all over my three year old MacBook, and now it is dead. For the next few weeks I'm stuck using old macs around the house (rather than my personal laptop with my entire life in its hard drive). 

Of course, that won't stop me from blogging! I'm trying to stay positive about this whole experience... So on a happier note, as a Sephora Beauty Insider, I thought I'd alert you to save the cash in your piggy banks for this October, when the 2012 Sephora Collection Color Daze Blockbuster is released to the public!

What is the Sephora Collection Color Daze Blockbuster, you ask? This is the ultimate makeup kit for beauty addicts of all ages. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, you'll love this limited edition makeup palette!

I don't think I'm supposed to give too much away... So I'll just say this Hollywood Style palette includes waterproof eyeshadows, longwear cream eyeliners, lip glosses, blushes, 6 multi functional creams for eyes/lips/cheeks, AND SO MUCH MORE. It's compact, convenient when traveling, and can do an extreme variety of looks!

This $370 value is yours for $49.50. Since I most recently murdered my laptop, the majority of my piggy bank cash will go towards buying a new computer. BUT if I happen to come across $50 lying around, you know what my next purchase will be! Well, right after I buy a new concealer... My goal is to get one before school starts in 5 days (yikes!). 

So let me know if you're excited about the Sephora Collection Color Daze Blockbuster, and keep reading the blog! (The more views I get, the more revenue my blog makes, and the closer I am to getting that new Macbook Pro! No pressure...)

Stay beautiful!

Urban Decay Ocho Loco 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set

A glance at the Urban Decay Email I received...

Hello, my lovelies! This morning I received an email from Urban Decay promoting it's new limited edition Ocho Loco 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set. This is a package of 8 Urban Decay eyeliner pencils, and four of them are brand new colors.

What really caught my eye about this limited edition set was its price. The entire pack costs $59! That's pretty much $60 for a couple of eyeliner pencils! Yikes!

And that got me thinking, is it worth the price? When it comes to makeup, there are some things you should definitely invest in, like foundation and concealer... But there are other things you can go cheap on, like mascara and lipgloss... So where does eyeliner fall? 

I did some research on it, and it seems the public is split 50/50 on whether or not to save or splurge on eyeliner. Some are saying they're all pretty much the same, and you can get a great $3 eyeliner at the drugstore. Others are saying department store brands last longer, are easier sharpened, and are softer/smoother on the skin, therefore worth the splurge. Well, I have no idea what to think. 

So what do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments or send me an email (aislesofbeauty@gmail.com). The Urban Decay Ocho Loco 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set sure looks tempting, but is it worth it? Should I buy it? Hmmmm... Thought provoking....

Clinique Chubby Sticks: Chubby Stick Mix

Clinique Chubby Sticks for Lips

Hello, my lovelies! Before you get excited, no, this is not a review for the widespread phenomenon called Clinique Chubby Sticks. I haven't been able to get my hands on one to try out and review! 

If you haven't heard of Clinique Chubby Sticks, you live under a rock. Clinique's newest product, designed for the lips, provides "...do-gooders like mango and shea butters. Just what dry delicate lips need to feel comfortable and smooth." In 16 shades and 1600 advertisements {just a rough estimate}, this new spin on lipstick is taking the makeup and beauty world by storm.

So if I'm not reviewing it, why am I blogging about this product, you ask? I receive Clinique's Newsletter, and today it introduced a new color mixing feature on its website.

A screenshot of my color mix on the Chubby Sticks Color Mixer!

If you visit this page, you'll be taken to the Clinique Chubby Sticks Color Mixing Simulation. Choose one of three lip shapes, then choose your favorite three Chubby Stick colors to create a new, one of a kind shade!

I have to say, this is a cute little feature and a smart way to advertise the Clinique Chubby Sticks. It worked so well, I might just have to buy myself one or two––Ok one, because they're $16! That's a lot for a lipstick crayon!

Is it worth it? I guess I'll find out when I go shopping sometime next week. I still have to buy my necessities for Back to School, since BTSS didn't work so well. (But the one shirt I bought at H&M is looking great, I'm wearing it right now!)

Stay Beautiful!

BTSS @ Macy's

This one looks all fancy because I put it on Instagram ;)

Hello, my lovelies! Yes, yes, I know. I might have accidentally taken another break right after the post saying I had taken a little break.

I've actually been quite busy to make up for my uneventful summer. I had a sleepover on Wednesday, and then today I had to tag along in dropping my father off at the airport, and then I went to another friend's house to spend the afternoon, and now I'm here. And tomorrow I will most likely be going to another sleepover, and then every day this week I have National Junior Honor Society Service Hours to take care of, and then that weekend I will mostly likely be having a sleepover with yet ANOTHER one of my friends... And possibly crashing a movie set (they're filming Paranoia in my area! LIAM HEMSWORTH! AAAHHH!)

Could that be all, you ask? Of course not! Because I haven't even told you about Back to School Saturday, and how the only thing I ended up purchasing was a $15 boyfriend shirt at H&M, a magazine, and a chocolate bar with almonds. So I have arrange a shopping trip with yet another group of friends. PLUS, I simply must find new shoes before school... My only pair at the moment is a set of bright green flip flops with pink detailing, meant to be worn as pool shoes. 

I'm a busy, busy girl! But I found the time to show you a few of the pictures I took when trying on (and certainly not buying) dresses in the Juniors section at Macy's on BTSS. I was with two great friends of mine, Maureen and Margaret. Check them out! And don't worry, even though I have a hectic schedule these last few weeks of summer, I will most certainly make time for you. My viewers have bumped back up!

Fragrances: My Two Scents on the Matter ;)

Fragrance Collage - Made by Autumn Angelettie 

Hello, my lovelies! Today, while my sisters went to the pool to swim and play, I stayed home to relax and read my latest TeenVogue magazine. This was a fantastic issue!


Don't worry, no spoilers. I only want to tell you I noticed an exceptional amount of perfume samples in the magazine. I sniffed all of them––And it got me thinking... When's the last time I wore perfume?


Did you know that people can remember a distinct smell with 65% accuracy after an entire year? Your visual memories only last 3 months with 50% accuracy. The sense of smell is a vital part of our lifestyle. The average human being can recognize approximately 10,000 different scents and odors. And our sense of smell affects our sense of well being and quality of life––A smell can influence our mood, taste, and even our friends. Want more fun facts about smell?


• Women are born better "smellers" than men, and remain that way over life.
• Dieters: The smell of green apple can help control appetite.
• It's not just the bees... Humans can smell fear too!
• No two people smell things the same way... Except twins. Wow!


I don't know about you, but if smell is such a huge part of our everyday lives, I want to smell good. And with so many fragrances out there, it shouldn't be hard to find a scent perfect for me! Then again, with so many options, how will I find my.... Signature scent? I want a scent that describes me. If people can remember things better by their smell, when they get a whiff of my perfume, they should know I'm in the room. How cool would that be?


But perfumes are so expensive! A 1.0 ounce bottle averages around $40 - $60. And how long is that going to last if I'm wearing my signature scent everyday? Oh, fragrances are so complicated! 


Do you wear perfume? What do you wear? How much did it cost? Contact me and let me know, or just leave it in the comments.

Wait––that was just me? Oh. Well, I loved Hello Kitty; I still do! I wrote Hello Kitty songs, bought her DVDs––I had Hello Kitty everything. Let's see... a Hello Kitty backpack, a Hello Kitty wallet, a Hello Kitty stuffed kitty, a Hello Kitty pillow, Hello Kitty jewelry, Hello Kitty accessories...

Icing's Dance the Night Away Setting Spray

Dance the Night Away Oil Control Setting Spray

Hello, my lovelies! After an outdoor party last night with countless mosquitoes, I've been itching to tell you all about my fourth and final Mall Haul purchase. (Ha ha ha) At Icing by Claire's I bought Icing's Dance the Night Away Oil Control Setting Spray for a bargain price of $5.50. Other setting sprays can cost around $20.


Why was this price so low? Because the product doesn't work. I saw no difference in how long my makeup lasted, and I tested it three times. 


The spray bottle was inconvenient, because it got your face wet after just finishing applying your makeup. If it were a misting bottle like Evian's Moisturizing Spray, it would be a lot easier to use.


Other than that, the product smells. Nothing too harsh, but a thin vanilla or lavender scent would have been a lot nicer to have on my face.


I suppose not everything can be the perfect purchase, but now I'll have to go back to using primer... And primer always jinxes my makeup job! I'll just need to practice...


Stay beautiful!
