A Berry Berry Awesome GIVEAWAY! (CLOSED)

In honor of the upcoming holidays, I'd like to offer you a little gift and a big thank you. I started this blog to talk about things other than my life. I love makeup and all that it entails. I'm not an artist, I kind of suck (no, I really do suck) at applying eyeliner, but I love it all anyway. This place is my little refuge to talk about superficial little treasures. Along the way, on my short journey, I've had the pleasure of chatting with some amazing ladies in the beauty community. Through my own words, I've watched how my opinions on things have evolved or changed completely. Everybody has been so kind to me and for that, I'm truly grateful.

So, without further adieu, I present to you the Urban Decay Book of Shadows III (UD Loves NYC) palette (limited edition, $54 USD). With this palette you get: 16 eye shadows, two 24/7 eyeliners, and a mini Primer Potion. Did I mention that it lights up too?!

Click here for additional info!


The Rules:

I thought about this for a while. The rules are going to be very simple. Everyone gets one fair shot at this palette. Believe it or not, some people don't have Twitter or Facebook or a blog, for that matter. I don't think it's fair to offer extra chances that only some people are able to partake in. Aside from that, I don't expect you to go out of your way and advertise my blog for me. I appreciate it, but I don't expect it. I don't care how many followers I have, I'm just grateful that some people find my blog worth reading.

However, you must be subscribed to this blog in order to participate because this giveaway is after all, my thanks to you. Just enter a comment saying anything. You can tell me what your favorite shadow is from this palette or your favorite mascara ever. Anything. Just include your name and email so I can contact you if you win. Besides, since I have so few followers, this boosts your chances of winning! Pretty cool, eh?

**This contest is open to ALL**

The deadline for this giveaway is Friday December 31, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. EST. GOOD LUCK!

Disclosure: This giveaway is hosted by me. I purchased this product myself.

Hi Katie!
Your blog is great! I found it sometime when I was looking for swatches, and I stayed! :-) The fotos you take a of very nice quality (which I always appreciate) and your style is right up my alley.
Thanks for hosting such an amazing giveaway. The palette looks so beautiful and I don't own any eyeshadows by UD, so it would be super-amazing, if I won.
I wish you a wonderful Christmas time!

OK, I'm totally throwing myself into the mix here because I haven't purchased eyeshadow in at least 4 years. I'm super-basic in my make-up these days (eyeliner, mascara, comb the brows and I'm done) but I'm really starting to miss the days where I spent more than 2 minutes on my face.

PS: This is a fabulous blog, woman!

I dont have a favorite color from this since I have never tried UD products. But my favorite mascara would probably be Maybelline Collosal.

I have not used this palette but I would have to say my fave would be the green in the top right or the bright blue in the lower left.

Katie,

Awesome blog!! I'm gonna check this more often!!

I like to dress up when I have the chance AND doll up my face however, I have an absurd and random collection, so it would be cool to have a complete set! Do you "teach" people how to wear & apply (sometimes I am clueless of that too, especially night make-up)

:-)

Jemma said...

I think its amazing that your going to give this away that you bought yourself. I realluy like you blog and love Urban Decay make-up. Really want this palette and I was over in New York last Xmas and loved it. Really hope I win.

Bless you for being so generous to people without blogs *cough cough*

My skin is dry AND sensitive too! *high-five* what are your fave products?

Hello! Thank you for having this generous giveaway, Katie :)

Enter me, please. I have never tried Urban Decay eyeshadows before (*double gasp* I know!)
But I use UD Primer Potion all the time, and love it!
I'm still on the hunt for my perfect mascara! I'm looking for a volumizing mascara that doesn't clump and comes off easily.
Right now, I'm just sticking to my Clinique mascara. But usually I don't use it, because I often wear dark eyeshadow where it's difficult to even notice my lashes..

Anyway, my name is Susalie. It's nice to meet you! I found your blog on Sandra's If It Comes In Pink blog.
Email: susalie at hotmail dot com

Hope you're doing well <3

Anna said...

Random comment coming: Jack Black lip balm is amazing if you've never tried it. Temptalia talks about it all the time on her site and ohmygosh, it really is the ultimate lip balm. Who cares if it's originally for men? =)

Katie said...

Thanks to everyone who entered so far! This contest made my weekend. I have more fun shopping for others than I do for myself which is why I love the holidays! I tried to get my hands on another Naked palette but it was a no go! =/

Susalie - Loreal Telescopic (not the one with the weird spiky ball, but the one with the regular comb wand) is my favorite mascara at the moment.

Anna, I always see Christine giving props to Jack Black so I know it must be good! I'm using C.O. Bigelow's lip balm right now I love it. I'll have to try Jack Black's though!

Awesome, awesome, awesome contest Katie!! I am addicted to ELF and NYX products.. love them!! I haven't had a chance to try many UD things. I have tried the UDPP but I don't like it :( It dried my lids like crazy.

I love Urban Decay! The only palette I have so far is the Naked Palette but I would love to try others. Thank you for doing such an awesome giveaway!

Alice said...

I thought I was already subscribed to it, don't know what happened??

Of course I follow your blog...your every move, actually, because I love you. You should come over.

Anywho, never tried UD eye shadows (only the "primer" that didn't do jack). I AM a huge fan of their mineral foundation, however, at this point I'm undecided between whether that takes top rank or my MUFE (which I'm loving and found out about BY READING YOUR BLOG!).

to summarize: ENTER ME! (in the contest, not like, literally, ew)

Ellie said...

ahhh!!! i love urban decay (but sadly never got the chance to own any of their makeup cuz i cant afford it haha). thanks for the giveaway! <3

Beth C. said...

Hi Katie!! Great giveaway :) I thought I would share a few of my current obsessions: The infamous Naked palette, NARS Gina blush (the best coral toned blush ever!) and postsecret blog where people from all over the world share their secrets (http://www.postsecret.com). I'm hoping to get the book for Christmas! Thanks again for the giveaway.. good luck to all! :)

I would love to win this BoS because I don't own any Urban Decay products, but have always wanted to try them. I keep playing with their stuff in the store, but end up leaving empty-handed (college kid = broke).

Thanks for the giveaway! It's so sweet of you. I've been kind of lurking for a little while, but only just now "officially" followed.

Aseya said...

Hello! I just came across your blog when I was searching for some stuff so I'm a new follower :)

I think my favorite mascara would have to be the DiorShow. I can't really afford it right now, so I'm trying to find an alternative. Will let you know if I do!
