Creative and fun gift sets for Christmas – Urban Decay’s Book of Shadows
An LA’s The Place Top Pick for 2010!
Urban Decay Cosmetics started when co-founder Sandy Lerner was unable to find a purple or green nail polish for her eclectic tastes. Wende Zomnir, Executive Creative Director and Co-Founder of Urban Decay met up with Sandy Lerner and found herself mixing nail polish in her Laguna Beach cottage and assembling press kits from hardware store supplies. With Wende’s experiences, worldliness and innate creativity, Urban Decay has become a very important player in the cosmetics industry.
Now, Urban Decay’s many products can be found at Macy’s, Sephora and Ulta, as well as its successful online store urbandecay.com, making it an easy Christmas Gift Guide pick for this year.
According to its Brand Statement, Urban Decay can help you, “go from a pixie to a vixen, from a rock star to a starlet…Urban Decay is beauty with an edge. It is feminine, dangerous, and fun…appealing to celebrities, rock stars and anyone who relishes her individuality and dares to express it.”
