Urban Decay April Showers to Flowers Giveaway

Apr 7, 2008 Author: Jen Hill | Filed under: Cosmetics, Eye Shadows, Eyeliners, Eyes, Urban Decay

When I think of color, I think of Urban Decay. And so fortunate for us, Urban Decay agreed to send some colorful, bright eye pencils and eye color loose pigments for a giveaway this month at MBB! Hooray for spring!

Urban Decay April Showers to Flowers Giveaway

One VERY Lucky winner will receive:

3 Urban Decay Glide-on Eye Pencils: Mo’s and my all time favorite stay put eyeliner. They go on so smooth and have a true, long lasting color that simply can’t go wrong. The winner will receive Yeyo (metallic white) and Rockstar (dark sexy purple), and Stash (deep golden green). (retails for $16 each)

5 Loose Pigment Eye Shadows: That is not a typo, yes 5 full size loose pigment eye shadows! Mo wrote a review last month about some of these incredibly beautiful eye colors: Rockstar, Asphyxia, Graffiti, X, and Shattered. If you are the “Rock Star” cosmetic style type, these loose pigment powders will give your eyelids knock ‘em dead gorgeous color! (retails for $20 each)

You can enter this contest by commenting at this post on your favorite spring flower. One entry per person, and all entries should be submitted by April 30, 2008.

As I am typing up this giveaway post, it is snowing in Utah. Snowing! I am thinking this is probably our last snowfall and heaven knows we need the moisture here. This is the crazy time between the two seasons, and I am anxiously waiting for the consistent warmer spring weather. The highlights of spring for me revolve around the blossoming of spring flowers. First the crocus, then the forsythia bushes, daffodils, hyacinth, tulips, iris and my ultimate favorite spring flower, the LILACS! I adore the bright blossom colors, and marveling in their various hues of yellow, purple, pinks, and reds. Spring is my favorite season.

My favorite flower is the purple clover from my front yard, but only because my son never knew it was a weed and would always pull one and tuck it behind my ear. How can you resist that?
tracy m April 7th, 2008 at 3:11 pm 2

Lilacs. Oh, lilacs. Sweet, sweet crowns of billowing blossoms, Lilacs!
tracy m April 7th, 2008 at 3:13 pm 3

And, OH sweet Urban Decay- that eyeliner is the best thing I’ve ever used- put it on in the morning, and it’s still there when I get ready for bed at night!
realworldmartha April 7th, 2008 at 3:23 pm 4

My favorite is Tuplips. We don’t get many in this area but at the store and then they die a couple of days later but aren’t they beautiful?
hairyshoefairy April 7th, 2008 at 4:31 pm 5

*gasp!* I want those sooo bad!

Okay, calming down now.

I have two favorites. My first is an Iris. My grandma had them growing in her yard and they were her favorite flower. The lovely periwinkle ones will forever remind me of her. They smell so incredible. I only wish I could bottle it and use it as a perfume. There are some down the street and when Peanut smelled them she told me, “Mmmm, pretty.” My second favorite is Lavender because it reminds me of England. It was everywhere there when I visited and the smell always takes me back.
Meredith April 7th, 2008 at 5:04 pm 6

I’ve always been drawn to poppies, but I hardly ever see them anymore.
kate2004rock April 7th, 2008 at 5:23 pm 7

Perhaps this is a little bit cliche, but Tulips will forever be my favorite flower. Never could you call my mother a vain flower. She never wanted expensive jewelry or fancy clothes. She would always have rather my dad gave her the same money so she could order 400 tulip bubls from Dutch Gardens. March every year, we had the prettiest yard on the block! No contest! And now as my senior year ends, my lovely University of Mississipp is in bloom with Azaleas, Chinese Cherry Trees, and of course tons and tons of tulips. I also got a great arrangment for my birthday a few weeks ago from the boyfriend. Tulips are only happy memories to me!
Kian April 7th, 2008 at 7:14 pm 8

I love a lot of flowers but for spring, at least for early spring, it’s poppies. Living in California, it’s the poppies that signal that spring is here, you see blankets of orange on the hillsides and it’s just beautiful and uplifting.
Karin April 7th, 2008 at 8:10 pm 9

Lilacs– cuz they make me think of my childhood…..back when life was simple.
mo mommy April 7th, 2008 at 9:04 pm 10

What? No Daffoldil love?! How can you look at a daffodil and not smile? They are so funny and cute, I love ‘em. By Mount Vernon, Washington during the right time of year you can see little clumps of daffodils by the freeway where someone just randomly planted them. It makes me think of someone just hoping to give people a little reason to smile.
You guys are going to LOVE these fun items! 3 of my all time favorite colors are featured in the loose pigments, so if you don’t like them you can send them my way! Good luck everyone!
Kandice April 7th, 2008 at 9:34 pm 11

I’m sooo lusting over those Urban Decay Products!

My favorite spring flower is a lily…they are just beautiful, especially in my hair tucked behind my ear.
V April 7th, 2008 at 10:25 pm 12

I was in Oregon for spring break and we ventured to the tulip festival in Woodburn. The tulips were gorgeous in their vast array of colors! Yet, I must say, my favorite moment was watching my sister in her front yard, gathering a bouquet of daffodils and hyacinth. She placed them in a simple mason jar of water for our step-mother. The smile on her face when we showed up at her door was something i will not long forget. I can still smell the hyacinth……
Jared April 7th, 2008 at 10:36 pm 13

Fireweed
Huguette E. April 8th, 2008 at 7:42 am 14

My favorite flower is the lilac, smells so nice! Oh how I can’t wait till the flowers start to bloom again!
mo mommy April 8th, 2008 at 8:21 am 15

Thank you for the reminder of why I love you so dearly Jared…

Fireweed is a lovely plant that grows all over the place in my home state of Alaska. It’s way better than daffodils. For a picture:

Cheryl A April 8th, 2008 at 11:28 am 16

I absolutely love gerber daisies! I think they have the sweetest little faces and will brighten any room!
Julianna April 8th, 2008 at 6:12 pm 17

Peonies - I adore them! The fragrance, the light fluffy blooms. Happiness on a stem. When I was born my grandmother brought peachy pink peonies from her yard to my mom in the hospital, so I suppose I have loved them since birth!
Suzee April 8th, 2008 at 7:48 pm 18

I’m a Texas girl - gotta love those Bluebonnets!
Lisa Burns April 9th, 2008 at 4:57 am 19

Daffodils are so pretty and cheerful! They’re one of the earliest bloomers and come in so many shapes and colors now. A true sign of spring!
REGINA SANDERS April 9th, 2008 at 8:16 am 20

My favorite spring flower is buttercups because they are the first to bloom in Spring, and it gives me great hope that Winter is ending. What an awesome giveaway!!
tonya April 9th, 2008 at 10:18 am 21

yess, i have to agree with another post - nothing can beat the texas bluebonnets in the spring!! absolutely gorgeous. they make the perfect backdrop for taking photos.
Dana April 9th, 2008 at 10:51 am 22

Urban Decay is my favorite cosmetic line for eyes. Their shadows and liners are amazing.

My favorite flower is the daisy. It is just so simple and lovely.
MONIQUE April 9th, 2008 at 11:24 am 23

LILLIES ARE MY ABSOULTE FAVORITE SPRING FLOWER. I BUY THEM EVERY FRIDAY FROM THE FLOWER STORE DOWN THE STREET. THEY REALLY SET A NICE TONE IN MY HOUSE
Jamie April 9th, 2008 at 2:14 pm 24

My favorite is definitely the tulip. I love that it comes in so many colors, all of which are totally appropriate for spring and just put a huge smile on my face!
Allya April 9th, 2008 at 3:36 pm 25

I love dandelions. They look so goofy but also elegant somehow. Seeing them makes me laugh and so I have them everywhere, at home, in my car, in my office. You name it and there will be a dandelion there.
Casie April 9th, 2008 at 6:22 pm 26

Tulips are one of my favorite flowers of all time. I love the yellow ones.
Nevin April 9th, 2008 at 8:38 pm 27

I love Calla Lillies!!!! Very pretty!!!

Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Ashley Ogle April 10th, 2008 at 5:15 am 28

I love lilies!! Someday when I get married I am going to have cala lilies at my wedding. In the bouquets, the ones you pin on the guys’ jackets, flower girl, center pieces, etc.!!! They are so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!
Catilin P April 10th, 2008 at 1:30 pm 29

Crocuses of course!

Because nothing else signals the start of spring so well and beautifully, in such a small gesture.
When I see crocuses I am so elated, because I know that winter’s finally gone away.
JS April 10th, 2008 at 3:20 pm 30

I’m not sure I have a favorite flower…but for this contest I will have one. I love to see the tulip fields in WA (Skagit Valley Laconnor area), and I love it when one color of tulip is growing among an entire different field tulip colors! And buttercups are pretty too!
ann schaller April 11th, 2008 at 6:52 am 31

I love Urban Decay products; they are the best on the market and would love to win a set-the colors are fabulous!
Shannon April 11th, 2008 at 7:38 am 32

I love Srping tulips. They only stay around for so long but that’s what makes them special.
Trisha R April 11th, 2008 at 7:44 am 33

My favorite spring flower is the tulip, definitely. These prizes look incredible!
Elisa Perkins April 11th, 2008 at 8:13 am 34

Lilacs!!! Love em
Jen April 11th, 2008 at 8:37 am 35

As a resident of Washington State, it’s practically a requirement for my favorite Spring flower to be a tulip. This time of year, the tulip festivals begin North of Seattle. When you stare out at the tulip fields, all you see is a sea of color. Beautiful.
Sherry Thomas April 11th, 2008 at 10:14 am 36

I love the roses I just light up when I see them.
Les April 11th, 2008 at 10:35 am 37

ok, I guess I’ll be the oddball here. I LOVE Lily of the Valley and Baby’s Breath. I know most people only think of Baby’s Breath as an accent flower with a bouquet of roses, but I’d rather have them by themselves.
CHERYL DEICHLER April 11th, 2008 at 11:29 am 38

My favorite flower has to be lilac or freesia. I cannot grow lilac here its tooooooo hot but fressia come up in mid Feb and smell so beautiful, mmmm
Cindy April 11th, 2008 at 1:35 pm 39

My favorite…Urban Decay!!!
eritasoe April 11th, 2008 at 1:35 pm 40

Yeah, love the look of these!
Andrea Ramjattan April 11th, 2008 at 1:39 pm 41

Gardenia because it was my late grandmothers favorite flower.
KAtie April 11th, 2008 at 1:50 pm 42

lilacs for sure!
jenny April 11th, 2008 at 2:45 pm 43

These are super great ideas. Please pick me
Darla Connor April 11th, 2008 at 3:27 pm 44

crocus, they are the first ones up and that lets you know that warm weather is just around the corner
C Abrams April 11th, 2008 at 3:45 pm 45

Lilacs - I love all the spring flowers, but lilacs are my spring favorite! (Peonies are a summer flower round these parts.)

I always try to make it up to the Lilac Festival at the Boston Arboretum. I wander around like a happy dork burying my nose in every bunch of blossoms in the park, getting muddy and stung by bees and drunk on the scent of lilacs! I could sleep on a pile of the things. I’m crazy for the smell.
stephanie wolk April 11th, 2008 at 4:23 pm 46

I love violets. | used to pick them in the forest behind our house when I was a little girl.
linnett April 11th, 2008 at 4:50 pm 47

favorite spring flower is lilac, love the color purple
naomi bailey April 11th, 2008 at 7:16 pm 48

I love gardenias. Put one in a bowl of water under the fan smells up the whole room.
Aly April 11th, 2008 at 7:18 pm 49

I don’t think we will ever have spring here… we just had our biggest blizzard of the year! Lilacs are my favorite spring flowers, but ours will probably be stunted.
Barbara McHenry April 11th, 2008 at 9:35 pm 50

am looking for a real good eyeliner that will stay put all day
Nic April 11th, 2008 at 10:47 pm 51

My favourite spring flower sing I was a child has always been lily-of-the-valley. I love the delicate little flowers, and the scent brings back sunny days in the house I grew up in. They will be my wedding flower too; I am having a spring wedding next year.
Alice Forbes April 12th, 2008 at 12:23 am 52

I would have to say that yellow and white daisy are some of my favorites. Great contest
Kelli April 12th, 2008 at 12:46 am 53

I gotta go with daffodils. The classic early sign of spring when they begin to bloom! And I’d absolutely LOVE to win the UD Pigments to brighten up myself for spring!
Michelle April 12th, 2008 at 5:41 am 54

For fragrance, I love lilacs but for color I’d go with Cherry Blossom trees.
Angela Dzialo April 12th, 2008 at 6:03 am 55

I really want these for my daughter. She loves them!
chantal April 12th, 2008 at 7:16 am 56

My fav flower? A lily, of course! My daughter’s namesake. Though the scent of night-blooming jasmine can’t be beat on a warm summer night.
Claudia M April 12th, 2008 at 7:33 am 57

love Lily of the Valley , they smell sooooooo nice!
Patricia Simpkin April 12th, 2008 at 8:59 am 58

I LOVE tullips in all colors!
Sara Amos April 12th, 2008 at 12:01 pm 59

I love Gerbera Daisies - they come in hues that everyone will love, and last longer than most flowers. They are so cheerful
Margaret April 12th, 2008 at 3:37 pm 60

This is going to sound cliche, but my favorite flower is a rose. I have always had good luck growing them, even though people would always warn me about how hard they are to keep. I grew them in my yard and had buds the very first year! I always wanted to have a rose garden and now I do.
Susan Chester April 12th, 2008 at 4:10 pm 61

I love daffodils because they are usually one of the first spring flowers and they make me so happy that spring is finally here.
kay wolter April 12th, 2008 at 4:31 pm 62

I thought this was the show this is great…I would love to try it!
israel y April 12th, 2008 at 9:50 pm 63

Loooove this! thx for the opportunity!
Dianne April 13th, 2008 at 11:58 am 68

My all time favorite spring flower is the sweet smelling lilac.
Judy April 13th, 2008 at 12:19 pm 69

I love Crocus’s because they trumpet the arrival of spring, and then the Daffodils confirm springs arrival with a blast of yellow sunshine! For me lilacs are the smell of spring! I love it!
- Urban Decay is my favorite eyeliner! I’ve never tried the loose pigment eye shadows.
leah April 13th, 2008 at 2:03 pm 70

lillies and calla lillies are my favorite! so pretty and definitely classic
Sherre Schwartz April 13th, 2008 at 2:13 pm 71

peonies..i remember as a little girl we had a path leading to our back yard that had peonies on both sides….they were the biggest flowers i had ever seen..big pink and white ones…i love them!!
Brandi April 14th, 2008 at 3:10 pm 82

One day me and my mother were sitting on our deck patio, it was the end of spring and the flowers were dying. We were discussing my grandma ( who had died a couple years before this) and i looked over at the garden and there was one single yellow tulip left, my grandama’s favorite. It was such a sweet moment, but that is the reason why the tulip has such a special place in my heart,,,plus they are just so pretty!
Janene Grace April 14th, 2008 at 9:57 pm 83

Fragrant, Hypnotizing, and purple! Lilacs are the harbangers of summer and the smell fills the air with the most luscious aroma. Inside the house they permeate the entire room; bringing the outside in. They are astonishing and beautiful markers of the warmth coming to fill the place of our cold winters.
Alyssa T April 14th, 2008 at 11:15 pm 84

My favorite is our tulips. I know once I see them spring is finally here!
Kathy Conley April 15th, 2008 at 9:44 am 85

Iris - I love the many colors and varieties and they are easy to grow
bionicbeauty April 15th, 2008 at 9:48 am 86

My favorite spring flowers are my Phalaenopsis orchids. They are all in spike or already blooming this spring (indoors, of course). But out of the 30+ orchids I have, my favorite is called Happy Girl x Phal (M. Valentine - N. Cinderella) x T. Freebird (quite a mouthful).
Even though her flowers are white, she is my favorite and most prolific bloomer. Her flowers are over 4″ across and the leafspan is over 2 feet wide! She’s my pride and joy.

Let me see if I can include a picture (not sure if the code will work..
Diana Redfearn April 15th, 2008 at 2:49 pm 87

I would love to win it!
Denise B. April 15th, 2008 at 5:29 pm 88

I like the crocus. They’re the first to pop up as a reminder of spring being right around the corner.
Paula in Seattle April 16th, 2008 at 5:28 am 89

The Tulip is my favorite spring flower.

The tulips are too excitable - Sylvia Plath
Josie April 18th, 2008 at 12:44 pm 90

Tulips! Such pretty colors!
Dawn April 18th, 2008 at 7:32 pm 91

Hours from DC, I love the Cherry Blossoms and being from Virginia, gotta throw the Azaleas in.
Solstice April 20th, 2008 at 9:34 am 92

My favorite spring flower would have to be the Magnolia. It’s my second all-time favorite flower, right after the Snowdrop. My neighbors have many Magnolia trees, and I always look forward to spring for the arrival and blossoming of the enormous Magnolia flowers. As a busy student, looking at the flowers on the Magnolia trees while working outside always gives me a sense of tranquility.

Debbie Ann April 20th, 2008 at 9:49 pm 94

Gardenias ~ even when you can’t see them, they bring joy with their calming, sweet smell. A single bloom floating in water says more than three dozen roses and smell better since roses don’t seem to have the aroma they once had. Then, when it’s faded, just cut a new bloom off the pretty plant.

Though I would love to win your make up, I would love even more having a twenty year old face to put it on. A younger, prettier face deserves your wonderful products and I know whoever you give them to will enjoy.
Suzanne Peters April 21st, 2008 at 7:06 am 95

The first flowers out here every year are our daffodils. We had a huge crop of them this year, which blossomed earlier than usual due to an unseasonably warm spell in March. Then they all promptly died off when temperatures returned to normal. Fortunately, there was a second “crop” that emerged at the regular spring warm-up time, so we got to enjoy them again.
LuLu April 21st, 2008 at 8:29 pm 96

Daffodils. They are spring’s sweet smile.

Lilacs are the BEST!!
Heather April 27th, 2008 at 5:32 pm 110

When I was a little girl, we had a lilac bush that grew between our house and our neighbors house. When I smelled the scent of lilacs it meant that we were having a warm enough spring to have the windows opened so early in the year. It was also a sign that school was almost over and the freedom of summer vacation was just around the corner.

Every time I smell lilacs I am reminded of warm spring nights and the simple joys of being 8 years old. I can’t go back, but I still remember….
elena callas April 28th, 2008 at 12:11 am 111

I absolutely love lilacs, the beautiful purple ones are my favourite!!! Their smell, their look and their colour fasinate me. I always look forward to the day when the flowers are full bloom on a fresh morning and they are still wet from dew .

My favorite flowers are lilacs and hyacinth. They smell soooo amazingly wonderful and are so beautiful. I love all the beautiful purple hues. I always have a vase of fresh flowers…they’re natural air fresheners
