Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!
Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).
We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

I miss Burberry Beauty …
What do you mean by that? The line wasn’t discontinued, they just didn’t come out with many new products this year 🙂
I wasn’t able to vote 🙁
I clicked the link and nothing showed up on the page so I hit refresh and then it said I had already completed the survey.
Voted! So excited! This is the first year I’ve followed your blog (started following around March) so this is the first time I’ve participated in this!
Did this survey glitch for anyone else too? First the page wouldn’t load all the way and when I hit “refresh” I was told I’d already completed the survey…any chance I can get another shot? 🙂
Hi Amanda,
The survey is IP-based, so if someone filled it out on the same IP, it will show as locked!
I came back to it and refreshed and it was working again…my computer is just…temperamental 🙂
for the ones i chose ‘other’ as an option:
– best facial wash: mario badescu enzyme cleansing gel.
– best moisturizer: biotherm aquasource skin perfection.
– best evening moisturizer: biotherm aquasource non-stop
thanks for the beauty choice award for this year, temptalia 🙂
The survey isn’t working for me either, and I’m sure that nobody else on the same IP has filled it out. 🙁 It isn’t loading properly. Is it because I’m using a MAC?
I get way too excited about these new year ‘best of beauty’ thingies… haha
You went to this link? http://www.temptalia.com/2012-temptalia-readers-choice-awards It should work! Let me know!
I tagged some questions with other.
Here are few of my other “best of 2011”.
Foundation-Liquid
Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation
Best Brand of 2011
Bobbi Brown-BB had huge year with some great products with all of her collections this year. The High Shimmer lipglosses, increasing the size of the glosses, the BB correctors and the concealer kits.
Honorable mention for brand of the year – Estee Lauder
The Cyber eyes and the pure color gelee collection is fabulous.
Powder eye shadow product of 2011
Urban Decay’s 15th anniversary palette was an instant classic from the moment it was released. Its iconic and in my opinion, it’s even better than Naked palette.
I was thinking the exact same thing about the UD 15th. I don’t know how that didn’t get any nominations but a repeat Naked palette did.
It didn’t make the short list – it doesn’t mean that there weren’t nominations, it just means it didn’t get enough nominations to make it into the top 10.
FYI, guys, you can opt out of certain questions. For example, I don’t use powder foundation, had no opinion on the ‘contestants,’ and so I didn’t vote. If I had voted, it would have been because of company loyalty instead of for an actual product. I clicked “Other” when asked about a product that I *do* use, but if I had specific winners in my mind.
My “others”
Betty Lou-MANizee for bronzer
Elf cleansing cloths for makeup remover
Boy, do I feel stupid. I did such a good job of cutting down on my cosmetics purchases this year that I didn’t have an answer to most of the questions LOL!
Hi, this was the first time I took the time to fill out one of your surveys. I love your website and being a cosmetic junkie, read and know alot about the brands, skin conditions, etc. You are so thorough and I commend you for this.
All the best 2 U,
Sharona
Thank you, Sharona!
I was able to vote, but I wish we could write in the name of the product when we choose “other”.
Hi Donna,
We already took nominations, which enabled everyone to list their exact favorites. Those favorites didn’t make the short lists, so we only want people to have the option to vote other rather than feeling compelled to vote for the best of the list. We’re not looking to compile write-ins, since we already did that in the beginning.
