You’re the hardest working blogger in the beauty biz, Christine! Thanks for a great 2015 and best wishes for the new year!
Ah, I doubt that! But thank you 🙂 Happy new year, Alix!
Got MAC Cheek Pollen blush yesterday and I love it. So warm it goes beautiful with my skin tone. I think MAC makes good blushes ( I love Gingerly and Sincere).
Yayy!! It is a gorgeous shade.
Christine, I find in amazing that you’re able to review almost 10 products a day, 365 days per year! That’s a lot of coordination of eyes, cheeks, and lips! Thank you for the work you do. I would be much more hesitant to try new products without good reviews, and yours are consistent and meticulous.
It sounds more impressive than it is, I think! A lot of it is inflated by those eyeshadow palettes – almost 8-10 products right there between two eyes, lol. Theoretically, I should be testing closer to 13-15 products a day and possibly 20-25 if whatever I’m testing is so-so (anything that lasts 8 hours or less for eyes/cheeks, I could probably get two rounds of testing in!).
Well, you’re still thoroughly testing each and every eyeshadow, and you deserve a day off once in a while!
Thank you for the vote of confidence, Fran 🙂
Ahhh… Christine. The only thing you SHOULD be doing is enjoying your life. When you start pressuring yourself, you create stress, and that sucks all of the fun out of the things you once loved. You’re absolutely amazing at what you do, and you provide more in-depth information than any other beauty blogger I’ve come across. I mention your blog so frequently that my husband knows what I’m referring to when I say, “On Christine’s site…” 😀
I’m one of those weirdos who really likes to “work” (I say “work” because while this is what I do for a job, it only feels like work when I have to see to the details like taxes and business licenses, lol) so I enjoy 85-90% of the time I put into Temptalia 🙂
I promise I take breaks and do other things, though 😉
This has been such a fabulous year as I tried so many great products on your special recommendations and your reviews 🙂
I cant thank you enough for the hard work you do to keep us glued 🙂 stay blessed sweetieeee
Thank you so much, Rashmi! xoxo
I love this round-up sciencey mathy stuff! You work so hard and it is so much fun visiting the site to see all the features!
Thank you, Pearl! 🙂 It’s always nice to look back!
Thank you for everything you do, Christine! You’re the best in the biz for sure. Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.
Thank you, Emily! Have a great 2016 🙂
Yes! Thank you so much! I read your blog nearly everyday and remain impressed.
Aw! That is so awesome. Thank you, Maggie 😀 Happy new year!
Wow – what a fantastic list. You are incredibly hard working and committed to bring the best of beauty to our monitors.
Thank you so much. Happy New Year Christine!
Happy new year, Genevieve! 🙂
These are incredible statistics! You do more work than any other blogger I know of, Christine. Thank you so much for your dedication!
Aw, thanks a lot, Susan!
In ONE word: Overwhelming!!!
In all honesty, I seriously cannot wrap my brain around how much you do in even 1 days time, much less 1 year! Christine, you are the consummate professional at this, which is why very, very few other bloggers/ vloggers come at all close to your site’s popularity. Thank you for all that you do!
Thank you, Nancy! 🙂
Oh my goodness, what an amazing amount of great work you do!! Before I stumbled upon your blog, I was haphazardly buying stuff and reading random reviews online. My stash is so much better (and bigger) because of you, and I found a great community of people to share my obsession. Is there stuff us readers can do to help support Temptalia in 2016? Like reading everyday (which I do), commenting, mentioning stuff we bought because of your review, clicking on ads, clicking on your Ebates or shopping links? Maybe you should do a post on how we can help support Temptalia? You do so much for us, we should help support you, and make sure the Temptalia blog thrives
Thank you, Katherine! The best way to support is really just by reading – enjoying the content, commenting, sharing it (when relevant, of course). Purchasing through affiliate links goes a long way for sure, but it’s really the loyalty of readers that has enabled the site to be successful overall 🙂
Wow, 3,564 reviews!!! You are a machine! (and yes, I saw your disclaimer, but it’s STILL amazing!). And 10 million unique visitors. Cheers to a fantastic year, Christine!
Thank you as always, Kira <3
OMG!! look at those views!! you are slaying the blogging game Christine! congratulations here’s to millions more in the new year!
Thank you, Sue! 🙂
Congratulations Christine ! You did such an amazing job (again) this last year. Thank you for your hard work 🙂 Your website is the most professional of the blogsphere. Thumbs up !
Thank you so much, Aline! xo
That’s a lot of reviews! Glad to see it was more A and B than C,D,F. It still seems like a lot of F’s though!
lol!
