Temptalia is pleased to annouce that our first place winner is Allison K., who submitted a grand total of 590 product photos. Because of the obvious effort all of our contestants put into their work, we have also decided to have a second place winner, and the recipient of this award is Virginia R. with 149 product/swatch photos.

First place prize: $100 worth of MAC products consisting of Gentle Fume Eyes, Wildfire nail polish, Bazaarish lipglass, Flashtronic lipglass, Barely Lit lipstick, and Groundwork paint pot.

Second place prize: $30 worth of MAC products consisting of Rubenesque paint pot and Boundless 3D glass.

How were entries judged? First, all entries were verified to ensure they met the proper requirements as stated by contest rules. Each individual product and/or swatch was treated as one point towards the total. So if someone had a photo of ten eyeshadows in the same photo, that would be treated as ten points. If there was an eyeshadow, and there was also a swatch of that same eyeshadow, that would be considered two points.

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!
