I think a gallery would be a neat idea. One suggestion is when you’re swatching things if you could show them on the actual lip or eye, and without any additional products? You seem to usually try on a lip liner, lipstick and gloss all at once, which looks nice but doesn’t really show me what the individual pieces look like.

Oh, and more of that cute kitty!

Hi Karen!
Can you please tell me how you switched from wordpress.com to wordpress.org? I was worried b/c I’m not that web savvy and wouldn’t know how to build a layout. Can you please email me and let me know? tokyostargirl@live.com
Thanks so much!

I love the blog as it is. In fact [retty much every time I stop by I look at it and think “God, I wish my blog looked as good as this..”

I like the idea of there being a picture of you in the banner though, its your blog after all!

I would say that I like it just the way it is now!
Too many games detract with the content..I like your style, your layout, your way of reaching out to your readers. In other words…don’t change a thing Karen!

Hey Karen…as usual, you know i’m going to write a novel. I like the blog pretty well as is. One thing…the girl with the paint on her face does nothing for me. She never has. I typically don’t use the categories…as I try to keep up on a regular basis. I think an image gallery is a great idea…and to have that categorized would be awesome. I think that more contests would be great. There’s another blog on the network that I read from time to time that has way way more giveaways…and from my understanding that blogger get some stuff free by writing and asking the companies…stating she’ll do a review and a contest for exposure. My thing is that the topics and writing are much less to my tastes than your blog… but I love the contests. Games are not a priority to me…i would however love for you to keep up all your fun pictures/graphics etc. The ads are much better than they used to be and I don’t mind them.

One thing that i think would be cool is if you could make the banner and menu bars static…so that when I get done reading I don’t have to scroll to the top to get back to home. Or you could put some buttons like home or return to top at the bottom (under the comments).

I like the pink and grey…but I am with you… I think it might be time for some updates. I’m such a dork…I just looked through my mail archives and on 9/18 it will be my one year anniversary of reading your blog…anyway I think if you stick the with same colors, you should switch it up a little…maybe put a subtle (not too busy) pink pattern on the darker grey background…or reverse the colors… i honestly don’t know. If it were me…I would just play with it for awhile.(Honestly…lets face it…if it were me, it would be blue… LOL)

Another thing that I know i’ve said before…but I know logistically is hard is that I sometimes wish you were much paler with pink undertones so I could see how your swatches would look on me. Maybe you could occasionally feature a friend for pics. So btw the thought just crossed my mind about putting makeup on Tabs…and reminded me that my cousin used to have a white cat named snowball…and he got painted on more than one occasion… in fact he had pink spots for quite some time…but she was only 5 at the time..so it’s hard to blame her.
