by 403 Comments

  • UPDATE: Dec. 30, 2009. The giveaway is now closed, and the winner will be contacted soon. Good luck! 🙂

Can you believe a new decade starts this week? Weird, right? I’ve been spending some time thinking about my resolutions for 2010, and so far on the list: 1) get back in shape, 2) take some personal enrichment classes (photography, makeup artistry, yoga/meditation) and 3) improve the way I handle stress.

Maybe I need more Urban Decay in my life… They have a pretty interesting approach to stress relief, LOL! Relaxation through gorgeous makeup.

That reminds me — can’t forget today’s giveaway. 🙂

The prize

One lucky lady will win the Urban Decay Hall of Fame set (a $29 value). This bad boy comes with five Urban Decay bestsellers…

  • A small Lipstick in Midnight Cowboy (sheer, shimmery beige)
  • A small Pocket Rocket Lipgloss in Timothy (a pinkish coral)
  • A small Skyscraper Multi-Benefit Mascara

  5. Ohhhh, LOVELY prize! I think I may love UD MORE than MAC (well, maybe as much..) and this one has got lots of goodies in it! Thanks for the chance to win it!

  13. My new year’s resolution is very similar to yours. My focus is to cut down my rice intake to lose weight and get healthy again. Secondly is to sharpen my photography skills for my food reviews (HAH! See how my work conflicts with my goals. Yes, I write food reviews for a magazine). It’s going to be a tough year, indeed.

  33. …is kinda over the holiday tradition…each year one of my girls get sick during the holidays…why is that??? LOL

    I expect it, but each year it bugs me. ahhh what can a sparkly makeup junkie do? A little urban decay would make my ’round the clock’ nursing duties a little less gloomy I am sure 🙂

  63. I love Urban Decay products, the shadows are amazing, I’ve converted my friends and family toward the Primer Potion, and the 24/7 Pencil in Zero is my absolute staple (waterline goodness!). I feel HOT in it–I hope Urban Decay never goes away!

    Reply

  64. Ohhh… I’ve never seen Urban Decay products where I live (medium-size city in Ontario, Canada), so it would be a real treat to try them. 🙂

    I just got my very first MAC product… a Cremesheen lipstick in Lickable… last week, and absolutely love it. Reading your blog is making me spend money, heehee. I layer a Lancome Juicy Tubes smoothie gloss in Plum Freeze over the lipstick but that particular gloss must be discontinued, because it’s not on Lancome’s website.

  66. I have never tried any UD product, including the primer potion… I’d be curious!

    I was treated to an amaaaaazing dinner today! 🙂

  67. I am also in love with the 24/7 eye pencil in Bourbon. I have oily eyelids and it doesn’t smudge on me, even without primer. The color is so pretty that I don’t even need eyeshadow!

  70. I need to find balance and multi-tiered focus. I find I can handle one or two things in my life (food, figure, face, hobbies, volunteering), but juggling them all at the same time is pretty hard. Need to work on time management skills me thinks.

    Love your giveaways. They give me something to look forward to checking out every day. 😀

  71. Guess what? I just did 2 beauty expiriments! they worked amazing!

    I tried rubbing a wet green tea bag on my face, and when it broke i just ribbed the contents on, then rinsed it off. OMG! M skin is refreshed soft and I can’t ind any of the zits beacause they got so small!\

    And then I tried the John Frida color glaze in combonation with Aussie 3 minute miracle on dry hair, let it sit an then shapooed it out. WOW! GREAT results!

  72. i have a few urban decay 24/7 pencils, but i haven’t yet got the hang of working them into my routine yet. i am in a habit of using a wet eye liner brush and eyeshadow as eyeliner, as opposed to using *actual* liner. it’s just hard to get a pencil close enough to my lash line!

  80. I just bought 2 sets of moleskin notebooks, to start the Design Something Every Day project (inspired by SmashingMagazine.com). My new year’s resolutions are to design something every day; work out more; eat more healthily; and work on a new blog that’s strictly makeup/fitness.

  129. You took mine Karen! I love Burbon 24/7 Eyeliner. My work BFF (a guy) once told me that it’s so scary when girls glob on the black eyeliner (his opinion… not mine!) so Burbon is his and my favorite eyeliner =D I think I’m on like my 5th one!

  171. I’m constantly surprised by Urban Decay products. For years I completely ignored brand because I wasn’t too fond of the packaging, but over time I’ve come to absolutely love their products, especially their eyeshadows and my absolute favorite eyeliner ever, 1999! Thank you for the opportunity to win, Karen, and Happy Holidays!

  177. Haha, my failed attempt at “amusing” (I put that in quotation marks) faux-html tags completely messed my random comment up! D: Here goes nothing:

    Silent Hill video games are just about my favorite thing in the world. (No, I also love make up and music and food and such – but, y’know, just finished playing SH so therefore predominantly excited by that at this particular moment.) The plot line of Silent Hill 2 especially is just incredible – better than many of the novels I’ve read, and being a scholar of English literature, I’ve read a lot of novels. I am so stoked for SH: Shattered Memories to come out in February!

  188. I don’t make resolutions so much as set goals….
    My goals for this year are to try something different on my hair other that the same blonde highlights I’ve done for the last 3+ years, eat more raw fruits & veggies, & I’m working on loving myself for who I am right now!
    Happy New Years all you hotties out there!

  193. I have recently discovered a killer smokey eye look, somewhat by accident, but it makes my eyes look ahhhh-mazing! NYX jumbo eye pencil (the white one) all over my lid, club on lid, humid in crease, blend blend blend, fluidline in blacktrack on the upper lid, loads of black mascara… viola…beautiful eyes!

  196. I really want to try the Urban Decay 24/7 pencils. I bought some MakeUp Forever Aqua Eyes liners because I heard they were amazing (but haven’t been that amazing to me). I think I need to make a trip to Sephora soon!

  204. Wow – my new years resolution are the same as yours! The exercise one is the hardest part. I have tried to start incorporating easy (and less effortful) ways to exercise. For instance, walk everywhere, including doing the groceries! It also makes me think twice about how much junk I’m going to buy since I have to lug it all the way home.

    Good luck to you!

  229. Yes, I’m a Bourbon-aholic. Although, yesterday I was wearing Gunmetal when I visited Sephora, and I couldn’t get the stuff off! I wanted to try on some other eyeshadows so I tried using their makeup remover to wipe it clear, and the UD wouldn’t BUDGE! I was standing there at the mirror for so long that the woman came over and asked if I needed help. She laughed when I told her the problem.

  236. I had a tube of Urban Decay’s lipstick in Gash in, like, 2001, and it was SO GORGOUS- a deep blood red with a metallic sheen…tragically, it melted at some point years ago. I recently got a replacement now that UD has started releasing lipsticks again, and the reformulated Gash is SO BLAH- a rosy/berry red satin, so so boring. What a disappointment! The products in this set, however, are all winners.
