Temptalia is cool beauty website with a great idea- type in the name of a high-end beauty product, and Temptalia will pull up a list of similar less expensive shades. The listing also includes a percentage of similarity, and an explanation of the percentage.
For example, I typed in Nars Orgasm for blush, and Temptalia came up with pages of similar products. One product that came up was E.L.F. Blushed, which I reviewed here, and it gave it a 90% rating, saying that it was less pigmented than the original (Not sure if I agree. I think Blushed is more pigmented). They have a listing of contributors on the site, and I am guessing that they are the ones that tested the products. I really wish the site gave an explanation of the percentages, and listed the product matching in some kind of order, like highest to lowest percentage, and included price range, but it does not. At any rate, it is a great idea if your favorite product is discontinued, or if you need to save some $$$ and have time to research and test a long list of products.
Bottom Line- Great site if you have the time. Wish the list was shorter and more concise with less duplicate listings.
