Celebrating 15 Years of Temptalia with ColourPop
As they say… time flies when you’re having fun! Can you believe it’s been 15 years since I started Temptalia? Who would have thought back in 2006 that this would be anything resembling a long-lasting career?! It’s such a surreal moment to be here after 15 years and be able to celebrate the occasion with my dear readers! Thank you for still visiting, reading, and engaging with me here on the blog! 🙂
I wanted to do something special to commemorate the occasion, and I thought it’d be neat to go into the archives and work with a brand to bring back products that were long-lost favorites (from myself and from readers) based on data points like most loved, most wanted, products users still looking up to find dupes for, what is more unique/interesting, and so on and so forth. I reached out to ColourPop to see if they were game, and they were!
We weren’t able to bring back every single most wanted product on my list (look, I gave them the kitchen sink; my philosophy was might as well ask… the worst outcome would be no! like you can bet I tried for Getty!), but I think we hit on some really fun shades! A metallic red lip for the upcoming holiday season… a blue-based purple shadow…
These 10 returning shades will be available for a limited time (30 days) beginning today, October 26th, at 10AM PT. You can also get 20% off using code TEMPTALIA at this time!

Lippie Stix, $7.00 (Limited Edition)
- Climax Matte deep purple (Matte X)

Thank you, Yamilette!
Yay..girl gang! Thanks, Christine!
Such a great neutral!
Christine i have been following your blog since 2007 and you are still my #1 source for makeup reviews. As long as you keep on going i will be following. Beautiful memories of Mellan!
I’m impressed and humbled, Lily! Thank you so much 🙂
Major congratulations on your 15 year anniversary of this go-to beauty blog, Temptalia!
Thank you for getting them to bring back Truth, Koosh and Donna SSS’s! Might grab like 3 backups of Truth, since it’s something that I can use as a primer and browbone shade all-in-one. Getting Let’s Play Lippie Stix, too!
Yay! Glad some of the bring backs are ones you love, Nancy!
Thank you!
Congratulations!! Here’s to fifteen more!
Thank you, Lydia!
Congratulations! Can’t believe it’s been 15 years! I remember checking your site occasionally when it was less structured/ more like a normal blog back in the day… especially if MAC was coming out with something!
This idea with Colourpop is great, you chose the right brand for lovely but discontinued shades 😆
Thank you, Lucina! 🙂
Ahhhh I’m jelly you got this chance, congrats!
It was really fun! I’m so glad ColourPop was game!
Amazing! Happy birthday!!
Thanks, Valerie!
This is so esciting! Congrats! I’ve been wanting Koosh and Girl Gang so now is my time!!
YAY! Thank you, Coral!
You are to be commended! That’s a lot of makeup and swatching. Not sure how you do it but I’m glad you do ♥️🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Nina!
Congratulations! And here’s to 15 more!
Of course I had to check the returning products and just ordered a few new things to play with. Among them Let’s play, who am I to say no to a metallic blue-based red?!
I really like that CP did this with you.
Perfect timing with the holiday season! 🙂
Thank you, Helene!
Congrats on 15 fantastic years!
Thanks, Jessica!
Congratulations, Christine! 15 years is such an amazing accomplishment!! I’ve been following you for so long and I always check your reviews before buying. I’ve been on a no buy recently, but I’ll have to break it for Let’s Play 😂😂
Aww! Thank you, Lacey!
How wonderful Christine and congratulations on surviving 15 years in the beauty blog business – what an amazing achievement. Your blog has bought so much happiness and joy to so many of us and has connected all the beauty lovers from around the world together.
You have reviewed all of CP’s products – the good, the bad and the ugly.
I was hoping that the brand would bring back Snakebite, but at least they have revived some goodies from the past.
Thank you so much, Genevieve! 🙂
What an exciting celebration!! I hope your curated ColourPop goodies sell really well and show CP how awesome you are (looks like Rest More is already out of stock!!)
Confirmed that Temptalia readers love a blue-purple, lol!
Thank you!
Congratulations on your 15 years as Temptalia, Christine! I’ve been looking for your reviews and swatches for a long time!
Thank you, Leslea!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!! Let’s Play will be mine!!!
Thanks, Cat!
Congratulations! I’ll definitely be checking this collection out now that I know more about it.
Thank you, Kimm!
Congrats, Christine! This is so exciting! I see some shades I’ve never tried. Might have to pick up Koosh and Rest More. Is it more blue or purple…violets can go either way? It’s so hard to tell on screen.
Congratulations, Christine! I’ve been reading your blog for almost a decade. Along with a cup of coffee, it’s part of my morning ritual. Here’s to the next 15!
Thank you so much, Shelby! <3
Congratulations!!! What a year Christine! You continue to inspire on the daily!
Thank you, Kira!
Bravo on influencing them to do so!
