7 Years Lucky! Happy Anniversary, Temptalia!
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!
To date, Temptalia has…
- … received 949,707 comments
- … published 15,775 posts
- … written 5,091 review posts (some cover more than one product or shade)
- … asked 2,187 questions through Temptalia Asks You.
- … received 99 million visits, 289 million pageviews
- … held over 486 contests.
- … given 314 A+ ratings and 46 F ratings

Congratulations!
Funny fact: until today, I never realised, I am probably one of the first persons to read your articles every day. I live in the Netherlands, so as I enjoy my afternoon cup of coffee and do my daily blog rounds, it must be early in the morning for you.
Cheers to a very happy 7th anniversary and I hope to be enjoying Temptalia for a long time!
How global the internet is in general, and how we have readers from around the world, is such a trip! It’s so awesome but so mind-bogglingly amazing too!
Congratulations, Christine, and thank you!
The “314 A+ ratings” rate makes me wonder whether there is a possibility to access the list of them all at one place… that would be great!
There is! In the sidebar, there is something that says “Reviews by Rating” and you can select the grade 🙂
Those are some amazing stats. Congrats and thank you for your hard work and dedication!
Thank you, Carrie!

Dear,
o Temptalia é importante espaço para consulta, orientação e troca de informações. Você faz um excelente trabalho, Christine; você é exemplar! Parabéns à sua família e, principalmente, à você pela organização, carinho e profissionalismo com que conduz o site.
abraços do Brasil
Dâmaris
Thank you so much, Damaris! You have been such a great long-time reader to have! 🙂
My best compliments to you Christine!! Many congratulations for bringing up this beautiful baby. 🙂
Thank you so much, Esha! 🙂
Yay!!! Congrats to my favorite beauty website 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
I have been hoping for improvements to the foundation matrix for a while now, so I’m excited to see what you have brewing (I’m hoping you’ll use some machine learning techniques to suggest foundations, but that is the partly because I’m a nerd). Congrats on your success. You’re the best at what you do; I don’t think anyone even comes close.
We’ve literally been working on it since June 🙂 (Swatch Gallery was priority, since I actually use 82937479x a day and it’s a huge time-saver with the new, improved format so I can be more efficient with reviews) I hope you all love it! We hope to definitely use more “big data” type techniques and methodologies as we can. Right now, it’s about building the infrastructure, and once we have data from ourselves and from readers, we hope to do cool things like recommendations and whatnot 🙂
Congratulations! We love you! <3
Thank you, Caitlin!!
Happy! Happy! Happy Anniversary!
Keep on doing your amaizing job and really hope to read you for a loong loong time!
Cheers!
Thank you, Carla! Me too 😀
Congrats Christine!!! I check your site EVERYDAY for reviews and suggestions. Ive been a long time reader, i’m so proud of you!!

Thanks a lot, Christina! 😀
Congratulations! I always look to you as a source for quality and honest reviews. This is my go-to blog for makeup swatches, ratings and what’s new info. You are very well spoken which translates into how well written your reviews are. You also go above and beyond when comparing colors for dupes. Thanks!
You are too kind, Stephanie!! Thank you so much 🙂 You have humbled me today!
Congrats, Christine! I love you and your blog!
Thank you so much, Nicole!
I don’t comment much, but read your blog a lot, and have come to really trust your reviews. Thanks! And Congratulations!
Thanks for taking the time to comment today, Rina! I appreciate you reading 😀
Congratulations! There’s no comparison out there to Temptalia’s detailed, genuine and exhaustive reviews. You’ve saved me a lot of money over the years. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Dawn! You are so sweet! 🙂
Huge congrats Christine! I’m so glad you love to do Temptalia for us readers-you’re an invaluable source for cosmetics for me, my fav beauty blog! Your reviews and swatches have made it so much easier to decide to purchase (or not purchase-overly scented products anyone?) I’ve been with you from the beginning. Also love knowing when new launches are coming before it hits-you and your team are the best!
Thank you, Christy! It’s so great to have you along for the ride from the start 🙂
How exciting!! congratulations!
Thank you so much, Shilpa!

Happy anniversary, Christine. Every now and then, I end up at a very old post here on Temptalia and it’s amazing to see just how you have grown and improved this site from its early days. I was wondering the other day – feel free not to answer if you feel it’s no one’s business – but I know you got your law degree and I was wondering if you are practising law now at a firm or if Temptalia is pretty much your “career” (with the amount of product you review, the quality and professionalism of the site, etc., it certainly seems like a full time job and then some!)
Hey Mariella!
Three months into law school, I knew that I didn’t want to be a lawyer (like ever, ever), and I never, ever intended to practice law after that point (which is why I went for a JD/MBA – I wanted to do something business-related but have the law knowledge, though I went into law school expecting to do JD/MBA no matter what). Essentially, being a lawyer has been my emergency, back-up plan since I started law school.
Temptalia has basically been a full-time job for the past four years 🙂 I have treated it as a full time job for maybe six of the seven years. I have no doubt prioritized it over school in many instances! Temptalia takes about 10-14 hours a day – 7 days a week. The only time I’m not spending most of the time working is only because I spent the entire day previously (16-18 hours) doing double-duty to make up for missed time (for errands, family events, etc.). (This is why I don’t like going on vacation – putting in a week of 16-18 hour days is stressful!)
YAAAAAAAAAAY! I love your blog and hope to visit every day (multiple times a day) for many years to come!
Thank you for all of your visits, Amber!
7 yearss.. that huge christine.. but ur efforts have been tireless and u always strive for the best.. and turly u r the best of all.. love ur blog and thnks to all ur supprting family members.. god bless you.. 😀 😀

Thank you, Poo!! So happy to be able to do this!
Way to go, Temptalia! Thanks for all the hard work. Your site’s the best, my day wouldn’t be complete without taking a peek or two. 😀
Aw, thanks so much, Precious 😀
Happy 7th Anniversary. Thanks to you and your team for all the hard work you do to make women beautiful and to invest wisely 🙂
Thank you, Lorrie! 🙂 Happy to help!
Way to go Christine & family! Congrats & keep up the good work! I love your site & check it every day 🙂 it’s definitely something I look forward to keeping up with! Xox
Thank you so much, Meghan! 🙂
Happy Happy Anniversary Temptalia! You should be very proud of all you’ve accomplished Christine! I have only been with you a few years but it’s hard to imagine my life without Temptalia now. I have my amazing makeup collection to thank you for -and it makes me so happy! Visiting your website always puts me in a good mood, never stop reviewing! 🙂
Yayy!! So happy that I’ve been able to help you build your makeup collection 🙂
Thank you, Cat!
Happy birthday yay!! Ive read here for a long time- seen a lot of changes… I too hope soon there is Temptalia in the dictionary 🙂
Thank you so much, Malia!
Germany loves you too! Happy Anniversary 😉 <3
Thank you, Stef! <3 to Germany!
Happy anniversary! Which means I have also been reading for many years O_O (not as many as 7, maybe 4 or 5. I think you guided my first MAC purchases!) You have this success because of your honest hard work and you deserve it so much. Here’s to many more years!!
Here’s to many more years of having you as a reader, Jo!! 🙂
Congratulations Christine!!! I have been referencing this site for a while now, reading the blog all year and I have tried so many new products this year from reading your recommendations. I love this site! I used to be a MAC’aholic but it’s been fun experimenting this year!
Thank you so much, Jenn! What have been your favorite non-MAC buys?
Happy 7th Anniversary!!!! Congrats on all your success, Christine, and I hope you have many more great years!! Thank you to all who contribute to Temptalia! Keep up the great work, Temptalia Team!!
Thank you so much, Miss J! 😀 So good to have you as a long-time reader!
Happy 7 year anniversary! I have been visiting your blog for many many years. You have saved me a lot of money (and also encouraged me to spend too! =D) with your honest reviews. I really appreciate all the hard work that you (and your hubby and Mellan!) have put into your blog.

Thank you, Kathrina!
Congratulations, Christine! I have been a reader since 2009. You success and dedication is inspiring. <3
Thank you so much, Coco!
Thanks so much for all you do Christine! I remember when I first started collecting makeup a few years back, I would look online for reviews. I remember seeing Temptalia pop up so often that I thought it was spam or something. I just didn’t think one person could review that many things! haha. Little did I know!:)
How funny! I’m glad you took a chance on us NOT being spam, lol!
Thank you, Peggy 😀
Congratulations! You’re such an inspiration!
Thank you, Phyrra!
Congratulations! I must admit I have been checking Temptalia everyday for the past three years, I’m an addict :p
Keep up all the fantastic hard work Christine !

Happy Anniversary! Thank you for all your excellent work!
Thanks, Mairin! 🙂
Hey Christine,
A very big congrats on those 7 years!
I’ve been following you for years and years, you were the first beautyblog that I found back then.
Now we are years later and I’m still loving it!
I think it’s safe to say that you are an inspiration to a lot of us newer beauty bloggers.
You are to me, I just really love your honesty and the clean pictures and swatches.
The time and effort you put in your blog is just amazing.
For me Temptalia is way more than a blog though, the innovative extra’s that you put into this is just brilliant! Keep it coming!
Here is to more of those great years in beauty blogging!
I am honored to have been an inspiration to you, Teri! 🙂 I wish you twice as much success and joy out of your own beauty blog!
Congratulations on 7 years! Temptalia is a joy to read.
Thank you, Ingrid!

Christine, we have never met and I hope someday somewhere we will. I see you pour your heart and energy In Every Post; it’s no surprise the world sees that, too I will forever be a fan until the day we’ll have to talk about hair dyes (errr, cover graying hair maybe?) lol! much love to you and the entire team!♥ Super congrats!
LOL! I really have no idea what I’m going to do when I start going gray!
Thank you so much, Abigail! It has been a real treat to have you as a regular reader & commentator 🙂
In MAC I am a NW 47 and I can say it is hard to know if a color or product will work for me. After discovering your blog I don’t have to worry anymore because with your high quality photos and great swatches I can tell if a product will work for me. I love the time and hardworking you and your family including Mellan (LOL) has put into your blog. In other words THANK YOU SO MUCH and congratulations on 7 years.
Truly my pleasure, Tasha! I’m so glad that you feel a lot more confident about buying makeup now! Thank you!

It’s really a testament to your dedication and quality work that your blog has been around for this long, so pat on back.
Happy to have you here, Renu! I love how diverse the audience is, because it really means that we can learn so much from each other! 🙂
Congrats. Temptalia is my go-to source for so many makeup products. I consider your work priceless! Keep it up!
Thank you, Cheri!
I have been following you since the beginning. I think you are an incredibly talented woman. Your drive motivates me when I need a boost. visiting Temptalia many times a day isn’t for beauty info alone. It also is a daily reminder to me how much hard work can can reap wondrous results. I always speak of you and this website to my women’s groups etc. for a motivational source of a what one young woman’s dream can accomplish. Congrats!
Thank you, Kristina!! Your words mean so much to me… I really can’t believe that I help to motivate you and that you speak of me so highly to your women’s groups. Seriously, I am so humbled. Thank you!
Happy Anniversary and congratulations on 7 years!
Thanks a lot, Kendrix!
Happy Anniversary and Congratulations to you Christine and the Temptalia crew!
I stumbled upon this juggernaut while I was home last Fall recovering from a hysterectomy and shortly thereafter, a heart attack during Hurricane Sandy here in NYC (2012 was not cute). Discovering your fantastic blog this past year helped me in my recovery. Your reviews and suggestions helped this Type A personality focus on her girly side and reclaim her “sexy nerd” status. I will be forever grateful to you. God Bless You in all your future endeavors and Long Live Temptalia!
Here’s hoping that your 2013 has been a LOT better and 2014 will be even more amazing for you after your 2012, I know you deserve it.
Thank you so much, Erica! 🙂
Happy Birthday, Temptalia! You are my go-to for compares and I’m really liking the interactive features! And the Flickr Pets group is fun too!
Thank you, Mimielle! 😀
Happy Anniversary Temptalia! Cheers to many more wonderful years of beauty…xx

I started reading your blog 5 years ago and you fueled my love of eye makeup and my massive collection of eyeshadows. Temptalia.com is still my 1st source for reviews and swatches and is BY FAR the most professional and dedicated beauty blog I’ve ever come across. So, thank you Christine, and congrats on your success! =)
Thank you so very much, Marcela 🙂 So glad to have you as a reader!
Happy anniversary!
Your hard work and dedication have made Temptalia an incredibly rich resource for makeup lovers, and I hope we’ll be able to count on you for precious information for a lot more years to come!

Happy that we can be a good way to cheer you up, Gabby 🙂 Exactly what we want to be!
Wow! Congrats Christine! 7 years is wonderful! I also didn’t realize I’ve been following your site for 6.5 of them (since your earlier postings of eye looks inspired me for prom when I was just beginning with makeup).
I’m so glad for all you’ve accomplished through and for this! To many more years!
Six and a half years! Wow! It’s AMAZING and mind-blowing to keep someone interested for that long. 😀 It makes me really happy to hear!
Thank you, Melissa!
Happy 7th anniversary! You have built this site into a resource like no other. Many dollars have been spent ( my wallet screams lol ) as well as saved due to your honest and detailed reviews. Thanks!!
LOL! 😉
Thank you so much, Audrey!
Congrats! 😀 It was Temptalia that inspired me to be more creative with make-up and experiment a few years ago. I never buy a product without checking for reviews here first!
Thank you, Irene! I am honored that our community helped to inspire you!
Happy Anniversary to the Best of the best, may you have many more to come. And I think we all feel that WE are the ones who are lucky? I know I do.
Aww! <3 Thank you, Terri! As long as we all feel lucky to have each other... then I think we're doing pretty well!!
CONGRATS!!! I appreciate your hard work and every word on this blog. It’s helpful and reliable! This site has saved me and made me lose so much money at the same time, haha. Thanks for everything! I like your reviews the best, because I can trust your words.
Hopefully we haven’t made you spend TOO much 😉
Thank you!!
Congratulations. Your site is a such a resource and saves me a ton of grief (and money). I also like the daily questions, surveys, and dialog. Happy Brithday!
Thank you, Jan!! 🙂

It’s late…but I am in school again…so I dont read the blogs as I did before…but I still do it quickly each day. I read your reviews, but others comments and it is the interaction that makes this blog fun and relaxing…and you eliminate those people who try to share their blogs…Plus who can forget, Mellan, you side kick. Many more for you to come…
What are you in school for now, Stacey? Best of luck on the next part of your educational journey 🙂
Happy birthday, Temptalia! I can’t tell you how helpful your website is, Christine. It’s a truly wonderful place, and you really do deserve it all. I wish you still many years of happiness and success with Temptalia!

You are a true beacon in the beauty and business community as a whole. Your hard work, attention to detail, and general passion for what you do shows in every single post.

Congratulation Christine and the whole Temptalia family!!! 7years!!! WOW!!! The numbers you have mentioned in the brief post actually reflect so much time, energy, effort and passion put in by you! Its only once I did a blog review article myself that I realized the tremendous amount of effort and energy that goes into it! Kudos to you and to team Temptalia!!
Wish I had been part of this 7year journey….however, I am a fairly new follower – about a year back is when I stumbled upon the Beauty blogoshere and Temptalia kept popping up in my searches till it became my HG for all things Beauty! Not a day can go by without me visiting Temptalia!! Love the quality of reviews, the quality of photography, the eye for detail and the huge energy you put into each review. Thankyou! My days and my life would be incomplete without Temptalia! Love you!!
Wish you many many more lovely exciting years of Blogging ahead!!!
I’m just happy you found us, KK! Besides, I look at how I reviewed products 3 years ago and cringe, so a part of me is happy you are familiar with the newer Temptalia 😉
Thank you so much!
Congratulations! Here’s to seven more and counting!
Thanks a lot, Tonnie!
Thank you so much Christine! i look forward to looking at Temptalia every day.
Thank you, Jo! <3
Dear Christine,
Congratulations on the past seven years. As a longtime reader, it has been a pleasure watching the blog develop into this wonderful resource. It’s awesome to watch you turn you passion into a thriving business. I greatly admire your work ethic, creativity, and integrity. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and respond to my comments. As a reader, it means a lot to be able to connect with the blogger. I have learned so much from you (I love the behind-the-scenes posts regarding blogging as a business) as I try to find my niche in the beauty blogging community. You have shown your readers that with time, patience, hard work, and research, anyone can turn their passion into a fruitful career. I can’t wait to see what’s next from Temptalia!
Warmest regards,
Lauren 🙂

Happy Anniversary, Christine!! It’s better late than never to congratulate you for the amazing job you do every day. To date, your blog is the only one I read regularly, if possible, every day, because it includes everything I love – your reviews are straight forward and always useful, your choice of products to review is interesting and varied, the quality of your photographs and swatches is fantastic and you even share with us a photograph or video of adorable Mellan every Friday…..I am always amazed by your commitment, your professionalism and the love you do your work with. Thank you for sharing your dream with us and creating this wonderful community that has made my love-addiction for makeup even stronger. Your blog truly reflects the wonderful, hard working and talented person you are. Keep up the good work and may Temptalia.com be with us for many, many years to come!!
Thank you so much, Leticia! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment as well as to read the blog as often as you do 🙂
