What do you look for in customer service from a beauty retailer? Share!

Temptalia's AnswerLow free shipping thresholds ($25 is ideal), no hassle returns (and preferably, free return shipping), clear policies, 1-2 day turnaround to ship the products out, and well-packed orders. Nothing is worse than receiving a package and hearing everything rattling around inside.

What makes for a compelling beauty sale/deal? Share!

Temptalia's Answer20% off or more is compelling — 10-15% is a lot less compelling. I feel like that appeals only if I was on the fence or about to purchase something from the brand already. 20% off starts to inspire me to look at products and see what I want to buy. Oh, and free shipping should always be part of the deal (or else there should be a fairly low threshold to get to free shipping). Free shipping isn’t a deal!

How much do other people’s opinions influence your makeup style? Share!

Temptalia's AnswerIt depends on the opinion, who it’s from, where it’s coming from, etc. but I would say some influence but not 100% influence. I try to consider and weigh what others say and see if I can learn and grow from it, even if I may not agree with it on its face!

What do you think is the next up and coming beauty brand? Share!

Temptalia's AnswerI think Urban Decay and NARS are going to gain ground/market share, while brands like Hourglass are going to make strides but the price point will make it hard to be as universally-appealing.
