Update: This giveaway has now come to a close. Congratulations to Irene, who entered via the Facebook giveaway page! Please be on the lookout for an email from me soon!
A few months ago, the famed Urban Decay Naked Palette — which had been getting regularly sold out everywhere since its release last year — came back in stock at Sephora online and I immediately snatched one up.
And you know what? It is just as good as all the online reviews say…and more! In fact, I would go as far as to say that for the everyday woman, this is the only eye shadow palette you will need!
I even convinced my SIL to get one herself, and she loves it just as much as I do, if not more. 🙂
Why the long background story? Because you see, I had originally planned on giving away the Urban Decay Naked Palette as this month’s giveaway…
…only to realize that due to its popularity, many of my readers may already have it!
So I decided to use the money toward a gift card from the mecca of beauty stores: Sephora!
That’s right — I am giving away a $50 Sephora gift card!

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the 
I’d buy either new lip glosses or the naked palette.
My wife is just entering her third trimester, which means she’s right about at the height of not feeling pretty, not being able to get manicures, not being able to get her hair done, etc. Making matters worse, we just moved away from Los Angeles (yes, moving in the middle of a pregnancy; not recommended) to a small Eastern town, so she’s feeling severe fashion withdrawal and has trouble finding maternity clothes that both look good and are work appropriate.
Sephora’s one of her favorite stores, and one of the only places in town she can find the most current looks, like she was used to in LA. I would use the gift certificate to take her on a mini shopping spree, because *I* think she looks beautiful, especially while this pregnant, but she sometimes needs a make-over party to help herself feel pretty.
Thanks, as always, for running such a great blog!
i would use the gift card to buy the naked palette! i had heard good things about it but i don’t own it myself yet.
I would use it to buy a hair straightener – mine is on it’s last legs.
Thanks for the giveaway
I would spend it on the assorted make-up Bride Kit. Im getting married soon. 🙂 Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
I’d love to try out that palette!
I would trat myself with some new nail polish
Thank you for hosting this giveaway

I could really use some foundation that’s less than a year old 😛
I would purchase the Rouge Dior Lipstick 264–it is 32 dollars at Sephora I think. I have been wanting to buy a nice light pink lipstick for years, but haven’t been able to find one to match nicely against my yellow skin tone. I finally found it this week, and it’s a great coincidence that you are having this giveaway lol. The rest I would use to try some ardell demi lashes. Thank you 😀
Well, I’m not one of the fortunate ones to get the palette, so I’d use the gift card to buy the palette. 🙂
I obviously won’t buy the UD Naked Palette (I already own it), so I’d spend it on re-stocking up on my Korres face wash and buying something for my mom as a treat 🙂
I would spend it on either nars makeup or a bottle of perfume
I would use it on a couple tubes of my favorite Dior mascara!
I’d probably use mine to grab some Bare Escentuals goodies I’ve been wanting for some time 🙂
I need more Bobbi Brown makeup remover and some new coverup.
I would use to buy the regular size version of the Dr. Jart BB Cream that I got a mini sample of. I have been drying to get my hands on the regular size!!
Honestly, that Naked palette looks awesome. So that would be tempting. But probably – a new scent! Sephora has a much better perfume selection than other places around, and I’m on the lookout for my next smell! 🙂
I’d spend a Saphora gift card updating my expired makeups with some new ones! Mostly, the tinted moisturizer and some fun eyeshadow.
I always cheap out on myself and use my make up until its completely gone so i’d restock on the basics!
My oldest friend is a new mom of two and her birthday is coming up. A treat trip to Sephora would be just the ticket!
I would buy the make up forever primer in green
I’m not a girly girl so I would go in there and tell them to make me over so that I can start learning to wear makeup! Better late than never right??
I’d get some new mascara since I’m on a quest for the perfect one!
Oooh so hard to choose what I’d buy! I think I’d use it to go toward a new makeup brush or two…and a gorgeous new shade of nail polish I’ve been coveting: My Personal Serpent by Sephora by OPI!
What a great giveaway! I need some new Urban Decay eyeshadow primer so I would get that along with maybe a new brush or foundation. With the seasons changing, I am in need of some new color!
I’d probably buy some facecare/lotion
awesome giveaway. i would love to win the gift card and try the famous Urban Decay Naked Palette!
I would buy some pretty new Essie or OPI Nail Polishes. I’m taking medication for a disfigured toe nail and it should be all cleared up in a few weeks. How wonderful it would be to step out into the sunshine with bright new toes!
I would buy some perfume!
I’m a Target cosmetics gal…but love looking at all the pretty things I can’t afford at Sephora. 🙂
Though it’d make me blush, I’m curious to try NARS blush in Orgasm.
Thanks for the chance to win.
