15 Best Beauty & Cosmetics Websites

The funny thing about Beauty and Cosmetics web sites is that many of them are, well, …not that good looking. It was actually difficult to find good candidates for this roundup. The reason why that is remains unclear and we will certainly investigate and follow up, but on idea we have is that cosmetics is sort of a “face to face” business, and that many of these companies operate on razor thin margins, but these are only assertions.

Here is a roundup of  sites that do meet the mark on looks and functionality.

Touring Panoramio - Map of where toursists flock

Bluemoon Interactive, a small codeshop, maps touristiness, based on uploads to Panoramio, a site where people share photos of their favorite places. Yellow indicates high touristiness, red is medium touristiness, and blue is low touristiness.

Europe is much brighter than the rest of the world. The coasts of the US has got some brightness, along with Japan and some of the coasts of South America.

The question is are we really seeing levels of tourism, or are we looking at who uses Panoramio? I'm inclined to say the latter, simply because all of Europe is so crazy bright.
