2009 Temptalia Readers' Choice Awards: Nominations are open!

3rd Annual Temptalia Readers’ Choice Awards for 2009

Every year, Temptalia has been proud to hold an awards ceremony to honor and celebrate the best beauty brands and products, both new and old. (We also have to toss in a few “worst” categories!) Our first awards were held in 2007, followed by 2008. The full awards consist of both editor’s choices (aka my picks) and readers’ choices, which are based off of readers’ nominations and votes.

Like last year, for the next week or so, we’ll be taking your nominations for each of our categories in the Readers’ Choice Awards. We will then compile the top ten to fifteen nominees for each category and present it to everyone to vote later in December. Final results as well as my picks will be published in January/February 2010!

Thank you SO much, in advance, for participating in the nomination process for this year’s awards! I can’t wait to see what products are rocking your worlds!

Now, go! Nominate your favorite beauty brands and products!

If you have any problems using the survey below, please visit the survey via link instead.

Quick Tips:

  • Most categories are not specific to new products–meaning, they don’t have to be products released this year (2009). There are a few, and they usually call out “of 2009” or “of the Year.”
  • If you don’t have an answer, don’t feel obligated to put one.
  • If you have questions, feel free to ask!

Note: I did not list ANY potential nominees or give examples for any category (excluding Best/Worst MAC Collection — we know the potential nominees there), because I do not want to influence the nomination process.

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!

That was hard. Some my answers surprised even me. And picking the best MAC collection wasnt easy so I decided to go by the one that I spent the most money on (*whisper* $300 *whisper*).

Hi Christine – I had a hard time chosing the best brand. I ended up putting down 2. 1 brand for skincare and 1 brand for makeup. Just wanted to let you know – I hope it didn’t disqualify my submission.

We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!
