Amateur-Facials is a website where a review really comes in handy. The tour doesn't give you much to go on because there really isn't a tour at all. Every image or link you click on takes you right to the join page. I would think some sample galleries might be in order, but I suppose these guys know how best to entice their surfers to join. Basically, if you're not into facials this is obviously not the site for you. Everything here revolves around cumshots.
What the site offers is a large collection of exclusive pics (30,000+) and videos (210+). It's certainly an impressive amount of stuff. Off hand I can't think of any cumshot site can compete on sheer quantity of original material. Another positive is these girls truly aren't typical pornstar broads taking their 1 millionth facial. Even if they're not amateurs being filmed for the first time, the important thing is they have the natural amateurish look to them. Now, you'd think with the ingredients of attractive natural girls and exclusive content, the outcome would be pretty amazing blowjob scenes. Unfortunately, I didn't really find that to be the case. Instead, both the pictures and videos were rather sterile and not what I'd call hot or exciting. I have a couple good examples from the videos. First, there's always a dude in the background taking still photos, so you can hear the camera and a flash goes off every 10 seconds or so, it's very distracting. Second is that some of the girls didn't seem to enjoy the facial and seemed to have the attitude of "well I gotta take it to get paid". Let me paraphrase a couple quotes I heard from chicks: "Not in my eyes" and "ew, you have the grossest cum, I almost threw up". Even though this doesn't apply to all the scenes, my feeling is the site's title is "Amateur-Facials" so the models shouldn't be signing up for the job if they don't enjoy facials.
The picture quality her is nothing to complain about. Judging from the galleries, the site dates back all the way to 1998 and all the pics from 2001 on are very high quality. 768x1024 seems to be the standard size and for the most part they're very sharp and crisp. Each gallery can be easily downloaded as a zip file. The video quality is also high, but I'm not a fan of their formats. The choice is between Real Player and Quicktime, perhaps my least favorite formats. For the Real clips, you have to enter your username and password for every video you watch. That's just annoying.
As far as updates go, these guys seem to do a good job. They add new galleries roughly 4 times per week and even release a quarterly newsletter. The newsletter keeps members up to date on models, changes, and developments relating to any of these guys sites (the Gonzo Vision network). Amateur-Facials membership does include access to their other sites, which is a good thing because the price is fairly steep at $9 for a 1-week trial or $29.95/mo. Hey, they've been around a long time, and I guess people are willing to pay it. Personally I'd like to see a site like this charge around $20/mo or less.

Review: 02-09-07 |
TBP's initial review of Amateur Facials was three years ago which is indeed a long time. Not surprisingly there are some changes of note, the foremost of which is the video formatting. They now have MPEG as the main format instead of Real and QT which is a big improvement for most surfers. As of Feb '07 almost a third of the movies are MPEGs. The total number of videos has basically doubled since our first review which tells you they keep rolling along with updates. A full update archive is available showing they get new stuff online 2-3 times a week. The membership price has been raised by 5 bucks to $29.95/mo. Overall the large amount of exclusive facial content is the site's strongest asset with the design being the weakest part. I'm still not a big fan of the posing and flashbulbs going off during the videos which is a pattern I saw on the newer movies as well.
Score increased from 76.1 to 78.0.
