How to Fix Photo Quality on Blogger

Yesterday, as I was preparing my newest giveaway, I noticed my images that I had uploaded were looking grainy, splotchy, and had more contrast. It dawned on me that I had the same issues for the last couple of posts I published too. I opened my pictures on my computer and compared them to the ones on my blog and there was a noticeable difference. After a lot of frustration, I figured out why.

I mentioned my love for my Clarisonic Mia before. Now that I've been using it for over 2 years, I have even more great things to say about it! It has changed my skin completely - and in a great way!

Alima Pure Mineral Foundation, Blush, and Eyeshadow

Press Samples

Recently, I tried some mineral makeup from Alima Pure. I had only tried the brand once before, thanks to Birchbox, but I had heard of it many times prior. The cool thing about the brand is that their mineral cosmetics are not irritating nor will they clog your pores; they're actually helpful to your skin. The main product I was going to try was their Satin Matte Foundation, but I also got to test a couple other products too.

Pinterest Beauty Giveaway

Time for giveaway number 3 this month! This one is for the Pinterest lovers! I'm a Pinterest addict - I find all kinds of delicious recipes, home decor ideas, and great DIYs. I share a lot of my own stuff too, like pictures and blog posts. Needless to say, I'm very active on it. This giveaway is for my Pinterest followers (follow now if you aren't already!)

Twitter and Facebook Follower Giveaway

It's time for my second giveaway of the month (out of 4 total). I was planning this next one to be Twitter-only but I wanted to give people the chance to participate through Facebook who didn't get to for my last giveaway. So let's get this one started....

Weekend Post: Fall Favorites

It's not often that I post anything other then beauty-related topics here; after all, Peek & Ponder is a beauty blog. It's the weekend and I'm taking this post in a bit of a different direction. Welcome to my fall favorites! I made this fun image to express my love for all things fall! Enjoy and share if you love these things too.

Too Faced Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner

Purchased by me

Most of the time, my favorite eyeliner is the Urban Decay 24/7 liner. I love how many colors are offered and it lasts a long time on my eyes. I was compelled to try a different brand this last time around though and found the Too Faced Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner.

Love Letter Nails With Nail Tattoos

Purchased by me

Recently, I was at Walmart looking through the clearance aisle. I really had no idea there was even such an aisle at Walmart and I'm not sure if it will always be there, but I had to take a glance at what they were offering. There was all sorts of things in the aisle, including beauty items! I noticed a lot of nail art products that I hadn't seen before. I came across a pack of nail tattoos for $2.00. Two dollars for some nail art? Okay, I'll take it.

Facebook Fan Giveaway

Happy September! I've decided I would do some small giveaways this month for readers/followers.
I decided on a total of 4 - Facebook fan giveaway, Twitter follower giveaway, Pinterest follower giveaway and blog follower giveaway.
