Website Design and Kat Von D Palette Giveaway

By 1/20/2013

A while back when I started blogging in 2009 I didn't really worry too much about the way my blog looked as I didn't have any followers, over the years though I've noticed an increased in readers and I'd really like to have an easy to look at blog.

If you've seen my blog each month you've probably notice I keep changing it design wise.... a lot, well I want to get away from that so I will be doing one last design update.

I'd really love to get my readers feedback on the site as I'd like to make it easier to read through and more pleasing to the eyes. So if you have a moment it'd be great to get any feedback you would like to share with me.

I'm currently in touch with an artist who I am hoping will be able to do some amazing logo/banner work and some other unique touches to my site to make it more professional as well

Anyway if you guys could take a moment to answer any or all of the questions below that would be great and much appreciated!

  • What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?

  • Do you find the reviews helpful?

  • Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?

  • What kind of posts would you like to see more of?

  • Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full?

  • Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future?

  • Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos?

  • Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer?

***(Only ONE comment per person  or you will not be chosen)***
For helping me out on this I will be choosing one person who comments with feedback (no enter me comments) to to win a Kat Von D Discontinued True Romance Metal Orchestra Palette.

You must be a follower via GFC (Followers tab on the top left of the site) and comment.

To make it easier and more private for your e-mails I am using the Rafflecopter  option that does include some extra entry options which are not mandatory. :)

  1. What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?
    I think the white is ok, however, I prefer blogs with a darker background and a lighter text. It's less bright which generally doesn't hurt my eyes. And makes the blog easier for me to read at night (with lights off to not wake anyone else up) or during the day.


    Do you find the reviews helpful?
    Yes I do. I love the amount of detail you put into your reviews.

    Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?
    Yes! This is something I wish EVERY beauty site did, especially swatches. I know most lipsticks/eye shadows look pretty in the tube/pan, I'm more curious to see what it looks like outside.

    What kind of posts would you like to see more of?
    My favorites are always first impressions and review posts. I always check the blogs before investing in a new product.

    Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full?
    I'm not all to picky about this. However, I know people with a slower connection would probably prefer the read more on picture heavy posts because it would speed up loading time, and they could only choose to load the posts their interested in reading.

    Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future?
    I like hearing about newer, up and coming brands. As well as smaller indie type brands that don't get much recognition.

    Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos?
    I love youtube tutorials and reviews. And of course Haul videos are ALWAYS my favorite.

    Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer?
    I really don't have any feedback. I think your doing a great job on where your blog is going. And it's great that you do these little/not so little giveaways for your readers. It's also great that your asking your readers input on how they'd like your blog to look. It really shows that you care for your viewers/readers. :)

  4. - What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?
    I actually quite like this current layout, I do find white easier on the eyes

    Do you find the reviews helpful?
    - Always

    Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?
    - Very, one of the best

    What kind of posts would you like to see more of?
    - More looks since you're so great with them and reviews if you have the time

    - Click to continue to read

    Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer?
    - I think the sidebars could be a little less cluttered so perhaps the Labels could be a drop down menu instead of a list and the search form could go at the top. Sometimes that's the first thing I look for when I go to a blog I trust and need to find a review. Other than that I love the blog, been lurking for some time :)

  10. My answers:

    Q1) What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white? A1) White is actually hard on the eyes, or it is on mine. A blue shade or light green or cream, if you want to keep it light, would be easier on the eyes.


    Q2) Do you find the reviews helpful? A2) Absolutely! I love a good candid, thorough review, and if swatches are included if it's makeup, even better.


    Q3) Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful? A3) Oh, yes. Good swatches taken in good lighting as so very helpful. I appreciate them.


    Q4) What kind of posts would you like to see more of? A4) Since my interests lie in makeup for the most part, I will always like more makeup posts.


    Q5) Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full? A5) I like content all on one page. I do not mind scrolling downwards, it is more clicking that I would to prefer not to do.


    Q6) Are there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future? A6) I can't think of any offhand.


    Q7) Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos? A7) I like tutorials and reveiws, but stay away from hauls - hauls make me what to spend money I don't have :)


    Q8) Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer? A8) No, your blog is professional and a pleasure to visit.

    1. Thank you for the great feedback! :)

      I have brighter monitor so sometimes the white background bothers me as well! I was definitely going to try and keep it more on the lighter side as reading blogs with a dark background and light text makes my eyes have those weird lines in my sight after!

      I love blues and greens so will definitely consider that when I redesign/have the blog logo created!

      I actually have an organic skincare brand called Suki that I've been using for a little while, I will have to review that soon.

      Also I have seen some swatches of Femme Fatale and I am definitely curious to check them out, so maybe soon as I can splurge some more I might be able to place an order. :D

  14. I prefer black text on a white background, or black/gray text on a very soft pink or peach background. I don't like light colors on darker backgrounds.

    I absolutely find the reviews helpful!

    I definitely find product swatches more than helpful!

    I would love more tutorials for some of your amazing eye looks.

    I prefer seeing posts in full rather than having to click through.

    I'm interested in seeing more reviews of cruelty-free big-box brands or smaller indies.

    I would love to see youtube videos linked here on your blog. I rarely have time to watch all the vids I'm subscribed to on youtube, so having them show up on my feed is so much better for me.

  16. I like white backgrounds, always makes it easy to read. I do like some color in a layout too.

    Most blogs I've found by searching for reviews of a particular product and if I find the review helpful (swatches, supported opinion) that's when I add to GFC. So probably for readers like me, the more reviews, and the more complete the reviews, the better.

    I love review posts, but also DIY posts.

  17. What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?

    I think it all depends on the site itself, but I tend to prefer colors other than white- not very very dark ones usually, but something colorful (hell, even beige...)as white tends to be harsh and gets a tad annoying on my eyes :)


    Do you find the reviews helpful?

    I do! Very much so. As always, I like having a trusted source that I can go to to see what someone else thinks of a product before I decide to buy it!


    Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?

    Yes! Just as much as reviews, if not more. I love swatches, even when I'm not particularly interested in the products. Sometimes a good swatch can actually make me interested in something I wouldn't have thought about before!


    What kind of posts would you like to see more of?

    I generally like what you already do, but I think some tutorials/more makeup looks would be lovely. You do beautiful work, and you're someone I feel I can learn a lot from.


    Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full?

    Noooo don't change it!! I love being able to just scroll through the main blog page and seeing the entire post. I never like needing to click to see the whole thing >.<

    Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future?

    Not that I can think of right now...


    Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos?

    I tend to prefer blog posts to videos, actually, so I wouldn't necessarily votefor more youtube videos, though I probably would watch them if you made more!


    Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer?

    Nah..nothing I can come up with at the moment >.< Your blog is great!

  18. What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?

    The white is okay but I think a change would be nice to liven the site up a bit.

    Do you find the reviews helpful?
    Yes, I love your reviews. It's one of the best parts because we know what we're getting ourselves into when we choose to purchase a product.

    Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?
    Yes, your swatches and product photos are helpful and very beautiful.

    What kind of posts would you like to see more of?
    I'd like to see more hauls just because I'm a sucker for those.

    Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full?
    I think you should change the posts to include a "click to continue" link.

    Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future?
    I'd like to see theBalm reviews.

    Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos?
    Yes I miss the YouTube tutorials. I'd love review and haul videos.

  19. I think white is a bit too stark and can be hard to look at for a long period of time.

    I like reviews cause I like to make more informed purchases, especially with internet shopping. The product first looks are nice but I like in-depth reviews and your opinion on the products. Things like packaging issues and quality of the products are really important to me.

    Your swatches are the most amazing and clear I've ever seen. You obviously put a lot of work into them. You totally show all the multichromatic or sparkle in a product and I love seeing them.

    If you are inspired I'd like to see more posts on FOTD or looks you create. And I definitely want to see more youtube tutorials, I am a big fan of your style and vibrant colour choices.

    The "continue to read" thing is ok for me, but sometimes I find it annoying that I have read a section then either have to find my place or re-read.

    I look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

    1. Awesome feedback, thank you!! :D

      I kept getting behind on my reviews so that's why there had only been First Looks. Though from now on I will be posting full reviews shortly after I post the first looks so hopefully that helps. :)

      I will definitely be doing more youtube tutorials soon, just have to get things setup again for filming and such.

  20. What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?

    Black text on a white (or pale gray) background is perfect. It's clean, and easy to read.

    Do you find the reviews helpful? / Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?

    Yes. I'm on a budget and prefer to make informed choices, especially if the item in question has a high price tag.

    What kind of posts would you like to see more of?

    More swatch/product photos & FOTDs! I would also like to see posts about the practical side of being a freelance makeup artist: putting a kit together on a budget, how to network, etc.

    Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full?

    The "click to continue" option makes it easier to scroll through posts.

    Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future?

    Haus of Gloi, One Hand Washes the Other, Solstice Scents, Twyla Perfumes & Apothecary, Villainess Soaps, Black Rose Minerals, Femme Fatale Cosmetics, & My Pretty Zombie. Also, more Shiro Cosmetics!

    Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos?

    More tutorials! I'd also like to see product reviews.

    Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer?

    I'd like to see a drop-down menu for post labels, and maybe a slightly different background color for the sidebars. Also, the right-hand sidebar would look a tad cleaner if the affiliate links were all the same width. Other than that, your blog is fantastic! :)

  21. The white is good. Pastels and off-whites work well, too.

    Do you find the reviews helpful? - indeed!

    Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful? - very much. I think you do a fantastic job, and your swatches are also very pretty to look at.

    More product reviews!

    Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full? - leave the posts as they are.

    Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future? - portland black lipstick company, hourglass, too faced, nars, occ, indie brands


    Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos? - very much so!

    Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer? I think the affilate links can be polished up. I feel like the space that the actual posts take up is too small. Also, I'm not a big fan of the italic fonts you use for headers - the logo and social network buttons don't really fit my aesthetic, either, but I figure that's just my personal taste.

    Keep up the fabulous work. xxx

  22. I liked the banner you had before. I think most people prefer white though it's a choice between blog personality or easy to read. I also hate under the cut posts, I like posts in full. I love swatches and review the most.

  23. • What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?

    White or any light colour is good for me, because when I have to read white on black I am not able to read much. After a few lines it starts to be uncomfortable for my eyes and when I am realy interested in the article I have to copy the text to the MS word.
    ________________________________________________________

    • Do you find the reviews helpful?

    Yes, definetly. Especially when reviewed products are a bit more expensive than drugstore.
    ________________________________________________________

    • Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?

    A really good swatches like your’s or temptalia’s are great to see how the product looks like, so yes indeed.
    ________________________________________________________

    • What kind of posts would you like to see more of?

    Just do your reviews like you do it and it would be perfect :)
    ________________________________________________________

    • Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full?

    I prefer open posts because when I am rolling down the blog and find more than one interesting articles I open them to the new bookmark and at the end of the page I have a lot of bookmarks and my browser slows down.

    • Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future?

    I’d like to see Too Faced or Physicians formula.

  28. 1) Current color theme is okay, I prefer minimalistic look to blogs.

    2) & 3) Yes, I like your reviews. Reviews are always helpful when I want to order something from online. (that means almost everything, because I live in Estonia)

    4) Doesnt' t matter for me, because I have fast internet connection and I don't mind scrolling down.

    5) I don't have any special requests on what companies should you review.

    6) I love videos so yes, you should do them again! :)

    Nice blog :)

  29. What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?

    -I like the current white, but it maybe needs more color. Color would pop the page a little more ^^

    Do you find the reviews helpful?
    -Yes very! And I have gotten so much inspiration on here.

    Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?
    -Yes! Now I know what I would like to buy in future.

    What kind of posts would you like to see more of?
    -Theme posts are awesome. I would like to see more gothic and steam punk style! I need ideas mostly of my steam punk style, so help is needed!

    Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full?
    -It is much more easier if there is all in the same page.

    Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future?
    -I love wet and wild so that!

    Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos?
    -Yes totally. On videos you can learn new tricks to do make up.

    Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer?
    -More video tutorials, more theme posts and just be awesome!

  30. What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?

    -Black with white lettering, you're layout seems nice though but it would look better and dramatic on black.

    Do you find the reviews helpful?

    -Yes you make very accurate swatches and i like how you use the products. I've bought a lot of GDE because of your reviews/tutorials.

    Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?

    -Very helpful!

    What kind of posts would you like to see more of?

    -I would love to see even more reviews on indie companies, and more tutorials based on geekery.

    Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full?

    -I prefer the same page.

    Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future?

    -More Kat Von D!

    Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos?

    -Yes. I love your tutorial videos, hauls would be nice. Or maybe combination videos where you show the product and do a tutorial using the products or palettes.

    Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer?
    -I'd love to see more of you, update often!

  32. 1. I think white is a good background, some sites try to get fancy and i don't like it! a pale blue or something non-neon or patterned works too.
    2.I love reviews, they are so helpful in helping me to decide to purchase a product
    3. product/swatch photos speak a 1000 words, I always look up a swatch before i purchase cosmetics
    4. I would like to see more makeup looks, especilly everyday looks, the arty ones are great but I love to see practical ones too!
    5. click to continue reading is good so I can find what post I want to read faster, especially if I want to back track to older posts
    6. I love theBalm and don't see enough reviews for this line
    7. I love review and haul videos, so yes i can say I love the youtube videos
    8. other feedback is just that i am a new follower and the site is attractive and easy to follow, thank you!

  33. I'm a new follower but I think the white works! I personally like the grays and white background with little pops of color.=)
    I like your makeup looks and tutorials!

  34. What colors do you find easy on the eyes when reading a website, do you like the current white?

    I don't really like the white much, it almost feels like I'm waiting for a background color to load and its not coming haha
    I do agree that simpler is better though, for some reason I'm picturing white text on a dark (black?) background.

    Do you find the reviews helpful?

    YES

    Do you find the product/swatch photos helpful?

    YES you honestly have some of the best swatches on the internet, your camera amazes me at capturing the depth of indie pigments...I see colors pop out in your swatches that I can barely see in real life with my own eyes haha


    What kind of posts would you like to see more of?


    I really like comparison swatch/dupe posts. But any swatches from you are fantastic.

    Should I change the posts to include a "click to continue to read" or leave the posts open on each page in full?

    No, for some reason I hate the click to continues, I never click them.

    Is there any companies you'd like to see me review in the future?

    Maybe OCC pigments/eyeshadows?

    Do you miss the youtube tutorials/ would you like to see me do reviews or haul videos?

    Nah, I personally would rather read a blog and look at macro pics than watch someone hold something up and jabber about it. You have a really strong blog, so putting your blog content into video form would just be redundant in my opinion.

    Is there any other feedback you'd like to offer

    I'd love if you posted more EOTDs! You have all the most gorgeous and unique duochrome pigments from indie brands, I'd love to see how you use them more

  35. 1. Yes, I like mostly white.
    2. Yes of course!
    3. Definitely, I will always find swatches of products.
    4. I like reviews mostly on mascara. lipstick and eyeshadow palettes.
    5. Leave the post open in full.
    6. Hmm, I'm not actually familiar with the newer brands.
    7. haul videos!!
    8. I like this, you asking for survey for the improvement of your blog. I think I will do this too. :)

    Thanks again! :)

  36. 1. Yes, the white background is fine. Usually on a typical website the color palette that I appreciate would be one that is mostly two-tone (so dark text, light back ground). When it comes to text, I think it's best to avoid anything that might make your readers squint. Avoid neon colors. Avoid exceptionally bright color like yellow or light blue.
    2. Yes, your reviews are great. I appreciate that you include photos that are large enough to notice details.
    3. Yes, very. Swatches are always helpful and like I said above yours are big enough that the reader can fully see the color and other detail. And you write out the specifics (ingredients, etc) which is greatly appreciated.
    4. More posts on your looks. Maybe some more tutorials if it's not too much work.
    5. Either way is fine, I have no preference.
    6. I can't think of any company that you haven't already covered that I would be curious about, so it's really up to you. :)
    7. Oh yes, I think the tutorials would be something I'd love to see more of again. Reviews and hauls on video would be greatly appreciated as well.
    8. You are very talented! Thanks for asking for input!
