7 Years Lucky! Happy Anniversary, Temptalia!

Christine | Updated: 10/10/13October 10, 2013

Happy 7th Anniversary!

Time flies when you’re having fun — what a year it has been! We built the foundation of one of my dream projects, MyTemptalia, earlier this year, and we have so many cool things we’re still working on (cough, Foundation Matrix, cough) and hope to show you soon. There are so many reminders of what life is about this time of year, and I’m so thankful and truly, truly blessed to be here today. It is an incredible honor to be able to do something I love for a living, and it’s even more incredible that it’s become something that really has a fantastic team behind it. From my mom and dad who have been a mentors from day one, to my now-husband who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes since the inception of the blog, and to my brother-in-law who recently joined the team this past January, who is a real code monkey. Even my sister has helped behind-the-scenes with data gathering (much of the MyTemptalia product database was compiled by her!). Quite honestly, every single member of my family–including extended–has given me tremendous support.

But really? The most important person to thank is you! Without readers, Temptalia wouldn’t be where it is today. It is thanks to your support and your comments and your participation that we can call ourselves an amazing, thriving community of beauty enthusiasts. Thank you for giving my life purpose, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to do this for you everyday!

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!
