Face Time Embellblush

First of all, Face Time Cosmetics has yet another terrible, user-hostile Flash website*. I am going to tear my hair out and eat it if I have to keep writing that about these sites! What's even worse is that it's an e-commerce site where you can actually buy products, but the Flash interface makes it a huge pain in the ass to do so. For instance, I can't even link directly to any of the products - you have to navigate through their ambiguous menu to find them. Either this company doesn't want to make money or they got swindled by their web agency. Either way, HATE. (UPDATE: I have heard from Face Time, only minutes after I posted this, that they are in the process of redoing their website completely. Hallelujah!)

That said, I have ditched my stand-by Stila blush - and my back-up, NARS Orgasm - in favor of Face Time's Embellblush in Palm Beach Pink (full disclosure: I did not pay for it). It is not as dark as pictured in that image (which I had to grab by printing screen into a graphics program and cropping out the rest of the page...sigh), and gives a nice, healthy, subtle glow. It's a keeper.

* I just found out the other day that I live a block away from the branding agency that created the Sparkle Body Sprays site that first prompted my original anti-Flash rant. Now where did I put my Molotov cocktails...

I just heard of this company. They were in Hampton's Magazine not too long ago and supposely ever since then all of the NY socialites have been using their products. A NY seceret I guess. Never tried myself, but I intend to now. Palm Beach Pink: Cute name. I will check back in a few days when the website will hopefully be corrected!

I feel you on the impossible flash sites. Here's another one: http://www.myblendbeauty.com. It's a mastodon of a website, all flash, that takes forever to load even with a super fast connection like mine, yet gives you hardly any information on the products. That this is a new super-premium effort from Clarins makes it all the sillier, since Clarins itself has a very user-friendly website. Sell and learn!
