<h2>Happy New Year!</h2>
<p>In the blogosphere, it is rather traditional to go through the past year&#8217;s posts to find favorites, gems, and the like.   I&#8217;ve got a few more things to keep me busy this New Year&#8217;s Eve, which you&#8217;ll see soon enough.  Sometimes we have readers wonder why we cover every MAC collection, but from these top post lists, you&#8217;ll notice that these are often our most popular, most requested/expected posts here on Temptalia&#8211;and ultimately, we want to provide you with the content you want. It is also with great happiness to see both the Makeup Dupe List and the Foundation Matrix do so well this year!</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>Thank you for ALL of your amazing support over the past year! </strong></em> We&#8217;ve had a great 2010, and I just know we&#8217;re going to rock it out again in 2011!</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #cc3399;"><strong>Hope you have a fabulous evening and kick-off 2011 with a smile!  Happy new year! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong></span></p>
