$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)

    I buy a lot of my skincare stuff at Sephora, but it’d be nice to have money to go spend on things that aren’t as needed…..like nail polish 🙂

    I am obsessed with my Naked palette too! Totally worth it. I would use the gift card to stock up on the Urban Decay primer because that stuff is like liquid gold!!! Love it 🙂

    I would actually get the Naked Palette as well! I desperately need to throw most of my makeup out as they’re carryovers from college (yikes!).

  • Shari

    The Urban Decay Naked Palette looks great! I’d definitely be getting that!

    Mascara. I haven’t been able to find the type I love and hate the stuff I bought as a replacement. I also want some nail polish in fall colors.

    this would be amazing to win! I always have a long wish list at Sephora!

    August 26, 2011 at 1:27 pm
  • Jade

    I’d totally buy the Naked Palette – I’ve been eyeing it for a while! Or I’d stock up on some staples, like mascara from Dior, finishing powder from Laura Mercier… thanks for hosting this fun giveaway!

    2 words – Amazing Grace.
    Just ran out of my favorite perfumed lotion and I would so speed out the door with this gift card and go buy me another bottle.
    Stinkin’ stuff never goes on sale anywhere!

    Would love to try some BB cream!

    I’ve never bought from Sephora but always heard such wonderful things. I think I’d start WITH the Urban Decay Naked Palette since so many seem to love it!

    August 26, 2011 at 1:45 pm
  • Jen

    I am in NEED of a new mascara! I keep trying new MAC mascaras and keep getting disappointed by the quality… I’d also get that eyeshadow palette! Pretty colors in one package… Perfect!

    August 26, 2011 at 1:51 pm
  • Emerald

    I need to restock my make-up stash, this would be perfect!

    August 26, 2011 at 1:52 pm
  • Stephanie

    I’m not sure yet how I would spend it, but I’m in the market for a new straightener… 🙂

    August 26, 2011 at 1:52 pm

    I adore Sephora and have recently turned my boyfriend onto it as well. His birthday’s coming up and I’ve love to get him the new Tommy Bahama cologne – Set Sail Martinique. Thanks for all the awesome giveaways! 🙂

    I would stock up on some nice makeup!

  • agata

    I want the naked pallette! And I guessed sephora on Facebook so hopefully my extra entries will let me win!

    There are so many PRETTY ways to spend a Sephora gift card. Right now, I think I will get a PRETTY fragrance for the upcoming fall season!

    August 26, 2011 at 2:00 pm
  • Stacy

    I would buy some perfume, and then probably an eye palette since I use crudded up covergirl eye shadow. I would also invest in an eye cream!

  • Karen @sugarspicelivin

    Yes please. What girl doesn’t need more makeup?

    I’ve been using sad drugstore makeup for most of my adult life, and I’ve love an upgrade!

    August 26, 2011 at 2:11 pm
  • Jennielee

    I would buy that palette! I am a huge fan of urban decay eyeshadow primer, would love to try their eyeshadows!

    August 26, 2011 at 2:12 pm
  • Megan

    Ooh I actually don’t have that eyeshadow palette, so I’d use it to buy that! Plus I need a new eyeliner, so I’d probably use it for that too. Thank you!

    August 26, 2011 at 2:12 pm
  • Jen

    I would definitely get the Urban Decay Naked Palette (when it is back in stock)! 😉

    August 26, 2011 at 2:15 pm
  • Liz

    I actually don’t have that palette so would get that!

    if i won a sephora gift card i would…

    -spend half of it on myself, and the remainder for gifts for others.

    August 26, 2011 at 2:22 pm
  • Vee

    I really need some fall nail polish and to re-up on moisturizer, since I use different products when the weather starts to turn. Oh, and Aquolina Pink Sugar shower gel… it’s the best smelling stuff of all time. =))

    August 26, 2011 at 2:25 pm
  • Rene

    To be honest I would spend it on a Christmas present for someone. We had a baby and bought a house this year and I’m already worried how we’ll get through the holidays 🙂 Maybe I’ll just knit everyone we know scarves.

  • Robin @ Our Semi Organic Life

    Not sure how I’d spend the gift card, probably on hair stuff since I struggle there the most.

    August 26, 2011 at 2:30 pm
  • Robin E.

    Wahoo! I’d spend it on crazy eye make up!

    August 26, 2011 at 2:32 pm
  • Stephanie

    As the mother of identical one year old twins, I dont get to treat myself very often. A gift card to Sephora would be the perfect way to so that, on anything i buy! I need some new makeup, or my favorite perfume (Chanel Coco Madamoiselle).
