TOP 10: TotalBeauty.com, a comprehensive online beauty library for women, is generating more than 500,000 unique visitors a month since launching in December. The site offers more than 60,000 product reviews of prestige, mass and spa brands, the company said. "Women are incredibly passionate about beauty and are hungry for a platform to learn and share. TotalBeauty.com is that place," said the site's chief executive officer and founder, Emrah Kovacoglu, who developed it after working at Procter & Gamble as the global digital brand manager for cosmetics.

Allure Magazine:

For women who like to research their makeup and skincare choices with the zeal of an honor student, beauty just got a brand new library. TotalBeauty.com, a new site launching this month, offers detailed information on more than 30,000 different products. The site doesn't sell anything, so it has no ties to a particular brand. It simply tracks ingredients lists and offers reviews from in-house experts and fellow beauty addicts. The sites' big draw is its advanced search function, called My Beauty Scout: After gathering information about a user's skin type, favorite formulas, allergies, budget and more, it searches through descriptions and product reviews to find the moisturizers, lipsticks and shampoos that suit her needs. And when you find your perfect product, TotalBeauty links you to online retailers. We give it a solid A.

The Total Beauty Package

NEW YORK -- A new Web site called TotalBeauty.com aims to present product information, videos on beauty how-tos and communication among consumers all in one place when it goes live on Thursday.

The site's founder, Emrah Kovacoglu, who most recently worked for two years as vice president of new media in Procter & Gamble's beauty division, said he saw a need in the marketplace for a product library covering beauty items in the mass, prestige and spa markets that acted as a consumer's personal beauty consultant.

"I wanted to create a comprehensive one-stop shop beauty portal resource that provides answers to any beauty question from a consumer standpoint," said Kovacoglu. The site already boasts 35,000 members and ratings and reviews on 35,000 products from more than 220 brands by both industry experts and consumers.

TotalBeauty.com also features more than 50 interactive video demonstrations. Visitors can fill out a questionnaire that's designed to tailor a skincare regimen for them and recommend certain products based on skin type. The site also features chat rooms where consumers can connect with each other to discuss beauty issues.

As an incentive to sign up, members receive product samples and coupons from retailers. In addition, a sweepstakes will be held to help generate product reviews.
