I like your beauty blog but you need to increase the opacity of the text/blog post area. I have trouble reading it since you have a fixed background that ids a pattern. Also your header is unreadable You need to use a contrasting color font perhaps black, to make it stand out. It is blending in with the background. with a little more effort, you can have this looking great.

Heyy thanks Both of you! Yeah I am aware of the opacity of the box I just didn't have time to fix it I do realise it and yeah that's a temporary header. Thank you! Any more reviews anyone??

Hi! I like your blog.. I tried leaveing a comment, but my computer wouldn't let me...\: I'm following it though! Have you heard of the website Polyvore? You can create outfits and stuff on it. You might like it, check it out.(:

I like the general idea and as was said before, the opacity and background issues are a problem. I do like the color scheme though and am positive that with a little tweaking here and there it's gonna be looking great.

I struggle with the background when opening your blog in full screen (my screen is rather wide but I guess a lot of people have wider screens nowadays ...) because it seems a little heavy so what I would do is to use it partly as backgound for the main blog and maybe use a background color, too. I'm not sure I'm making myself clear. If you want I could take a screenshot of your blog and edit it to look like what I'm thinking right now.

I didn't quite understand that, however thanks for taking your time out to look at it

I totally expected you to not understand what I was trying to say - I bet nobody did lol

Let me show you instead.

This is what your blog looks like now:


click for bigger

And this is what I thought it could look like without too many background images:



If this is possible to realize on blogspot, I do not know.

But maybe you're interested in this anyway:



It's your background image. I optimized it a little so that when it repeats it won't look like someone plastered wallpaper on the wall without thinking about how to properly continue the pattern.

[shazzbomb]

haha i see i see, perhaps take a look now? Just a few altered things. Lol the wallpaper, yeah I guess I just need to find a lighter better wallpaper. Thanks again! x

To be honest, I don't see much difference except for the banner (and in my opinion it's not more readable than before just different). Still, you have to design your blog the way you want but from where I'm standing I still have to say that it's hard to read and too much background images that aren't working together well ...

PS: The opactiy makes it hard to properly see the fashion you're trying to show off, too. So you definitely should do something about that.
