Happy New Year!
It’s New Year’s Eve, so it’s a time for a little self-reflection, gathering with friends and family, and maybe even some fun–if we’re lucky!
It’s been a fantastic year here at Temptalia HQ, as is every year, really. I feel so blessed with all of the success of Temptalia, and I really cannot thank you all, my dearest readers and friends, for all of your ongoing comments, feedback, participation, questions, suggestions, but most of all… your continuous support. It is such a joy to be able to chat with you about the latest and greatest (and the not-so-greatest) beauty products. I look forward to the year ahead of us and have high hopes for an even better year–and I hope we’ll all enjoy the ride.
Thank you for being part of the Temptalia community and making it the most satisfying community, hobby, and project I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience!
I would like to wish you and your family, friends, and pets (!) the very best in 2010!

My goodness! Your hair grew ALOT in one year! I can't believe that. You must be taking your vitamins girl!
Thank you so much for those wishes Christine!!! Hope you and your family have a great and blessed 2010!!! hope Tmeptalia keeps on growing and beeing as great as it is!!! Happy New Year!!!
I absolutely love your eye look and hair last year. You always look great, but I love the short shic hair. I love short hair and think it is so professional, chic, hot and great. I can do so much with mine and it is super short. Again, you look great this year too, but I didn't know you well last year and love the hair:)
Have a Happy New Year, Christine ! All the best wishes ! I understand your reasons for keeping your hair long but the short cut looks super sweet on you :)
Happy New Year Christine! I wish you the very best in 2010! I've been reading this blog since early 2008 & I check it almost everyday! It gets greater every year & I'm excited to see what's in store for 2010!
Happy New Year and keep up the good work! Love your nude as well as colorful eye looks! I dig the short hair too.

Happy New Year Christine! I wish you all the best in 2010 :). Btw you look gorgeous with short hair. I can't believe it grow so fast in only 1 year :)
Happy New Year! I look forward to checking out what is new on this site every day. It makes my day! Wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy new year.

Happy new year, Rashmi!! :) Thank you! We were voted Best Beauty Blog of 2009 in the Glam Beauty Awards! http://news.glam.com/articles/detail/the_2009_glam_network_awards/ (Courtesy of all of the lovely and supportive Temptalia readers who voted for us!)
Hello Christine...happy NEW YEAR and remember that you have a lot of fans in BRAZIL that love you and your site!!!!
I remember discovering yr site accidentally.....Some one on youtube mentioned you could find swatches here. Now Im addicted. And appreciate all the effort u put in, the swatches, the reviews n all. Temptalia is my goto source now. Happy New year Christine and everyone else !
Christine I really like your make-up for 2009. What kind of foundation are you using? I like the subtle glow and it looks like your natural skin instead of a layer of make-up. I feel that when I wear makeup its so obvious. I like the natural glow. Are you wearing wearing a matte makeup or is it dewy? You look great and I like the light eye make-up too. I like that its not too glittery. I am a bit older and I don't want to look like I am trying to be younger with the wrong makeup.
Hey Kimmie, In the 2009 photo, I'm wearing Kiehl's Tinted Moisturizer! I've been using that a lot lately for day to day wear, but if I plan to wear makeup all day, I go with Guerlain Parure Gold! Tinted moisturizer is really good for a natural makeup look :)
I love this site. I'm so glad I found it. I love that Happy New Year cupcake picture. It looks delicious. :) Happy New Year!
I check 3 websites every single day as soon as i turn on my comp and Temptalia has made this year enjoyable for me! I love being able to talk to you personally and know that I am getting advice form a trustable source! Your pictures and the presentation of this site are off the hook! So professional looking! You have taken this blog up and beyond just being a beaut blog. You interact with readers like we are your personal friends! Thank You for entertaining us with this wonderful blog. Wish you the best for 2010!
Aww! I am honored to be there :) Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and ask questions throughout the year - it's really so much of what makes the blog successful and makes it a really satisfying venture. Happy new year!
Thanks for a great year of beauty info, reviews, swatches and all of that good stuff. Happy New Year Christine! x
Your hair looks adorable short, but I really love it at the length it's at now. I hope you have a safe/happy/fun/ New Years Eve and New Year! :)
Awww :) Thanks sweety! I wish you, your bf, your mom, your dad, your sister and --of course-- the Mellanator the best of luck for 2010 (did I miss anyone? LOL). May all your dreams, hopes and wishes come true :) Have a Maccy... Err, I meant *happy* New Year! (Only 2 hours left here!) See you next year!! -x-
