$50 Sephora Gift Card Giveaway!

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!

Running low on your favorite product? Been itching to try the latest and greatest? Need to purchase a gift for a friend?

Well, you may just get lucky and win!

Now, for the rules…

Each reader is eligible for up to three entries via the following methods (each method will grant a separate entry):

  1. Leave a comment to this post about how you would spend the Sephora gift card.
  2. If you haven’t done so already, go to the Geek in Heels Facebook Page and “Like” the page. Then click on the Sephora Gift Card Giveaway link (located right under the profile picture, or just use this link) to enter the sweepstakes.
  3. If you haven’t done so already, follow @geekinheels on Twitter and tweet exactly the following: I just entered for a chance to win a $50 Sephora gift card via @geekinheels at http://bit.ly/rigo5Z and you can too!

Please do not leave extra comments here if you enter via Facebook or Twitter.

You can increase your chances of winning by using all three methods of entry. There is only one entry allowed per person, per method  — for a total possible number of three entries — and any additional entries will be promptly deleted. (Yes, I have ways of checking this. And yes, this will only cause me to get annoyed at you.)

For the complete list of rules, go to this link.

The giveaway begins as soon as this entry is published — August 26, 2011 @ 12:00pm EDT — and will run until September 1, 2011 @ 11:59pm EDT. The winner will be announced here on September 2 and will also be notified by email (so please use a valid email when entering so that I can contact you if you win!) or via a Twititer DM.

Good luck, and thanks for reading! (I love giveaways, don’t you? :-D)

    As I already have the palette and love it, I’d buy some new lipsticks. I have been wanting to rock a really great red lip.

  2. shirley says:

    i picked my naked palette up on a whim but now i <3 it so much i don't know how i lived without it.

    what i'd spend a sephora gift card on though, is my caudalie eyecream which is ridiculously expensive but so worth it.

  3. Dana says:

    I just got a new job and it is time to update my makeup!

  4. Judy says:

    I heard so much about Urban Decay Naked Palette. I’d use the gc for the palette. Thanks for the giveaway!

  5. joyjoy says:

    The Naked palette is awesome! I don’t wear makeup every day, but when I do, Naked is my go-to. I’ve been lusting after some Dior lipsticks that I just can’t bring myself to pay for. I would use the gift card to try them out.

  6. Allison says:

    The first thing in my hand would be Benefit Cha-Cha Tint as I am absolutely convinced that it would immediately solve all of the problems in my life except for my dog’s slobber, but hey, this could even help me dream of that!

  7. Bookish Bella says:

    I usually wear fairly basic makeup, so I would use this to buy some special things for an upcoming wedding.

  8. Christine says:

    i think i would spend the giftcard on some higher end makeup than i usually buy!

  9. di says:

    i need a gift card – i would buy some eye cream

  10. sam says:

    wow, that urban decay palette looks amazing!

    i would probably buy nars orgasm. i’ve never been able to justify buying it when i have so many other blushes and bronzers in my makeup bag.

    thanks for the giveaway!

  11. MrsW says:

    Ooh, I don’t know. Probably some sort of magic bullet acne thing because my face has been acting weirder than usual the last few weeks.

  12. vir says:

    I bought the Naked palette as well when it came back in stock; I’d been looking out for it for months! Now that I have it, I’m actually too fond of it to break it in and use it, as stupid as that sounds. I like to open it and swoon over it and then close it up and put it back in the sleeve while J rolls his eyes at my ridiculousness. 🙂

    Thanks for the chance to win the Sephora card! I’d probably spend it on a new mascara or to try out some foundation. Post baby, my skin is about the worst it’s ever been and none of my fave products are effective anymore, so I’m definitely due to try something new!

  13. Carrie says:

    I would buy the Naked Palette! I’ve heard so many great things about it!

  14. Theresa says:

    We just got a Sephora in my state! I need more of everything without the shipping costs now!

  15. Mercy says:

    Oooh, I like that Naked palette! If not that, I’d probably stock up on nail polish, cause I generally don’t wear that much make up. Or maybe this is a chance to start learning how to buy some? 🙂

  16. Helen says:

    I would use the gift card towards the Urban Decay Naked Palette!!

  17. Eileen says:

    yay Sephora 🙂 That Naked palette looks great. I have an old UD palette from maybe 5 years ago that I still use to this day…. I love the colors but it’s getting to be about time to replace it!

  18. Erika says:

    I would love love love the Naked Palette or cool nail polishes.

  19. Jen says:

    I LOVE Sephora!! I would def. check out that palatte if I won!

  20. Di says:

    I almost never wear makeup and because of that everything I own is way old. I would use it to update my makeup bag.

  21. Nichole says:

    I will be 32 this year and I just discovered an awful wrinkle right smack in the middle of my forehead! I need to find a good anti-aging cream ASAP and I know Sephora has a great selection 🙂

  22. Holley says:

    Hmm, I’d probably purchase the Naked palette since you talked it up so much! Or maybe some new perfume or skincare products. I love Sephora!

  23. Nicolette says:

    Perfect timing – I just ran out of blush and wanted to treat myself to Nars Orgasm that I’ve been coveting for over a year. Either way, I’m headed to Sephora soon. Great giveaway!

  24. Emily says:

    I LOVE Sephora! 🙂

  25. Katie Fields says:

    It’s been sooooo long since I treated myself, and Sephora would be the first store I would head to. I’m on the lookout for a new eyeshadow palette, and theUrban Decay Naked would be perfect (if I could get my hands on one). I’m also interested in Josie Maran’s new makeup line as well. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!

  26. I use it to get new blush or eye shadow… wait not mascara!

  27. Sally says:

    I’d buy the Naked palette!

  28. Mina says:

    thanks for the great giveaway! i want to try the urban decay cannonball mascara–i’m on the hunt for a mascara that doesn’t give me raccoon eyes.

  29. Courtney says:

    I’d probably use it to get my staples: moisturizer with SPF and Naturally Glossy mascara from Clinique.

  30. Aimee says:

    I’ve been wanting to try The Oxygen Peel from Philosophy. Just need a little excuse–like getting a gift card to mKe it FREE!! =D
