At one point on my quick trip to southern California this week, I must have taken my eyes off the walkway in front of me for a moment (oops!), since before I understood it, I’d fallen into a rabbit hole…
And this wasn’t just any type of rabbit hole. Nope, it was a magic one that transported me to Newport beach as well as the offices of the largest separately had color cosmetics business in the United States.

Disguised as an unassuming gray building…
Despite appearances, this quiet, unassuming gray building nestled on a side street in Newport beach isn’t an accountant’s office or a location that makes frames. It’s really the offices of metropolitan Decay.
Inside, it’s purple, purple, everywhere!
Sweet carnival of chroma, batgirl! The outside conceals the pageantry of purple taking location inside these walls. The interior is a cornucopia of color (I never would have guessed it from the building’s facade).
One of the office personnel taking a quick break…
The personnel includes 62 bipedal workers assisted by a number of their four-legged friends. Pet assistants are motivated by the cruelty-free line (NOTE TO TABS: Canines were definitely in the house; I didn’t see any type of cats).

Surf Up!
From delegated right: executive innovative director Wende Zomnir as well as moi (NOTE: Wende is hella tall! I’m standing on my tippy toes in this pic, as well as she’s crouching down, LOL!)
Avid surfer as well as executive innovative director Wende (pronounced Wendy) Zomnir, one of the founders of the company, hails from the excellent specify o’ Texas, where she grew up working the beauty pageant circuit as well as modeling back, as she puts it, before there were makeup artists backstage. women had to do their own makeup, as well as a few of them got rather great at it after a while. Wende not only did her own makeup, however that of many of the other gals as well.
These days, when she isn’t hectic cultivating the crazy UD colors all of us understand as well as love, she has a tendency to her husband as well as sons, catches waves on her surfboard, as well as knits (she really pulled her knitting needles from her handbag to show me her present project, a pair of adorable wrist warmers).
A few of Wende’s faves…
She’s especially fond of metropolitan Decay Flash Eyeshadow, Zero 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil as well as Sparkling Lickable Powder in Honey Dust.
Çok tatlı!
Pocket Rocket Lipgloss in Doug
Another one of Wende’s UD faves is named after her hubby, Doug, making the name of that Pocket Rocket quite simple for her to keep in mind (insert collective “AWWWW!”).
Quite potentially the coolest seminar room, evah!
Hızlı! Let’s phone call a satisfying about…anything, so we can all hang out in here. Wende designed whatever in the seminar space — right down to the table with multi-colored legs.
Trippy!
The women loo/restroom appears like something directly out of Alice in Wonderland, total with teacup light fixtures as well as faux grass tiled floors. Yeah, if you requirement me, I’ll be “in my office,” aka the stall on the right.
Stop — work together as well as listen
Urban Decay released the new metropolitan Bride set to coincide with the release this weekend of Bridesmaids, a new comedy starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph (remember her from SNL?) as well as increased Byrne.
(SIDE NOTE: believed the movie was hilarious! Seriously, it’s a chick flick even dudes would like. It has a couple of raunchy moments, however for a movie connected with Judd Apatow, it’s fairly tame.)
In other news, keep in mind last year’s Alice in Wonderland book of Shadows? Yup, artwork from that introduce decorates the office.
The business has been doing film partnerships like these for years, going back to The huge Lebowski in 1998 (remember the toe with the eco-friendly nail polish? Yup, that’s UD), shriek in 1996 as well as The wedding event singer in 1998. Drew Barrymore, as a matter of fact, worked carefully with metropolitan Decay to produce The wedding event singer lipstick.
Ah, The wedding event Singer… I like that movie.
