                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>WELCOME TO THE NEWEST VERSION OF TEMPTALIA!</strong> We have been working on this continuously for the last six months: an entire recode and redesign of every bit and piece of Temptalia. We hope the changes make the site easier to use, features more accessible and useful, and if we&#8217;re really lucky, a little faster, too. <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;" /> The new design is responsive, which means that the site will be better displayed for the device you&#8217;re using it with, like your phone, tablet, or desktop/laptop computer. We have also made some of our features more robust and have taken a lot of suggestions over the last year into consideration and implemented many of them across the site. If you find any errors or encounter bugs, please report them in the comments section below and let us know what device and/or browser you were using at the time. (Thank you!!)</p>
<p><strong>Known Errors</strong></p>
<p>These are errors/things that need to be added that we&#8217;re working on but aren&#8217;t instant fixes. We hope to clear these within 1-3 days.  Update on 8/9: most of these will (hopefully!) be fixed Monday and Tuesday of the upcoming week.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sorting/refining functionality minimized on some features (notably, Foundation Matrix) &#8211; to be expanded soon</li>
<li>Price Slider on Mobile:  to be added soon</li>
<li>Advertising Reskin overlaps right sidebar</li>
<li><del>Swatch Gallery:  brand drop menu is missing from refine results &#8211; in progress</del></li>
<li><del>Blog Post: Dupe List should show Brand + Shade name</del></li>
<li><del datetime="2015-08-10T15:25:02+00:00">Unrated products sometimes show up as Fs</del></li>
<li><del>Newsletter preview image not showing up</del> Fixed</li>
<li><del datetime="2015-08-10T15:25:02+00:00">Add back +Vanity icon to Glossovers</del></li>
<li>Scale thumbnails in Swatch Gallery/Dupe List to force size</li>
<li>Adjust sizing on Samsung tablets</li>
</ul>
<p>We have plenty of things we still need to do: more features to add, like better and more sorting capabilities, enhancing user wish lists and vanities, and things of that nature &#8212; so there is more to come! We hope to get on a shorter release cycle with regular updates rather than one giant one soon. Here are some of our favorite improvements that you&#8217;ll find this time around:</p>
<h3>Blog</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dupe Lists</strong>: Reviews now showcase the top 15 dupes, ordered by similarity with the % similar displayed within the review.</li>
<li><strong>Compare Any Two</strong>: pull up any two swatches (that I&#8217;ve done) on the fly to make your own comparison from any review</li>
<li><strong>Reader Reviews:</strong> see a summary of readers&#8217; reviews for a formula (you can also add your own!)</li>
<li><strong>Larger</strong> <strong>standard photo size</strong> (760px, previously 550px) going forward</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.temptalia.com/makeup-dupe-list" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/temptalia_2015layout002.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>

<li><strong>Get dupes by formula</strong>: for example &#8212; see <strong><a href="https://www.temptalia.com/makeup-dupe-list/mac-cosmetics-lipstick">all possible dupes for MAC Lipstick</a></strong> or maybe you just want to <strong><a href="https://www.temptalia.com/makeup-dupe-list/tom-ford-beauty-lip-color?brand=12658">see what shades of MAC are similar to Tom Ford</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/temptalia_2015layout004.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h3>The Foundation Matrix</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shareable shade matches</strong>: easily save and share top matches by specific shade for referencing later (here are mine for <a href="https://www.temptalia.com/foundation-matrix/mac-cosmetics-studio-fix-fluid-spf-15/nc25">MAC NC25</a>!)</li>
<li>Refined algorithms and result ordering</li>
</ul>
