Happy New Year!

words

Hello, my lovelies! I know, I know, you're probably all wondering about my strange disappearance. It was a hectic month, and I made the decision that rather than erratically write irrelevant posts every so many days, I would stock up on good posts and save them for publishing in January.

But I didn't want to end the year without telling all my fantastic readers how much I love and appreciate you. You know celebrities always say, "Oh, I love my fans," but I never really knew what that meant until I realized... You're the whole reason I blog. Yeah, passion for makeup and beauty has a part, but without you, I'd be blogging to myself like a weirdo in a cave...

On that lovely note, Happy New Year. Er--almost New Year. Since I've made you wait long enough, I'll let you know what stocking stuffers you have in store in January... 10+ product reviews, new Youtube videos (but my camcorder needs a new memory card so they might look weird), 5+ fashion/beauty pictorials, and new 2013 surprises!

While you're waiting, I'll be updating on +Aisles of Beauty Official, Bloggers, and my email is always open, so talk to me whenever! (aislesofbeauty@gmail.com) Aisles of Beauty will be back to regular posting on January 2nd, 2013. See you then!

Stay beautiful!

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!

Autumn's on iMakeupGuru!

Hello, my lovelies! Remember a few months back, when someone called Fashion Guru listed me as one of her favorite beauty blogs on her website? You can call her Zoe Fields, and for the past few months she's been working on a major project, the launch of iMakeupGuru. It's a community of beauty bloggers that collaborate on one site to give readers beauty and makeup advice, tips, reviews, and tutorials.

I just happen to be one of those featured bloggers. So go to imakeupguru.blogspot.com to read iMakeupGuru for even more beauty blogging fun! I'll be taking old posts from Aisles of Beauty and sharing my advice with a broader audience, and you can read posts from the other bloggers too.

Stay beautiful!

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!

America's Next Top Model: Cycle 16

America's Next Top Model Cycle 16

Hello, my lovelies! So these last few days I've been suffering from a horrible cold, and I've been home from school, and I've missed the first rehearsals for Young Frankenstein! (I got Elizabeth!) The biggest problem is I can't speak! But at least I'm somewhat well enough to get some work done on ye ol laptop. 

All day I've been watching an America's Next Top Model Style-a-Thon on the Style Network. Style-a-Thon's feature old seasons of fantastic shows all day long.

If you've never heard of ANTM, it's a televised modeling competition created by Tyra Banks, one of my ultimate role models. The challenges in cycle 16 are exciting, and each is unique. You'd think after watching it for 4 hours I'd get a little bored, but every episode has its own drama, surprises, and fun! 

My favorite model is Jaclyn Poole, she is the sweetest, fiercest southern belle I have ever seen! Unfortunately for me, I already know my least favorite model, Brittani Kline, becomes America's Next Top Model. She's a real meanie. 

Jaclyn is on the left, and Brittani is on the right. There is no worse feeling than watching your favorite model get eliminated, especially when Jaclyn in particular did well in every other challenge. And she's so sweet, yet so versatile! *screams silently because I have no voice* Oh my gosh I'm like the little mermaid.

So, this is the best I could come up with as I'm lying sick in bed watching reruns of ANTM and drinking orange juice. Bare with me till my voice returns... 

Stay beautiful!
