(recurring)The tagline here is Babes Cartel features high quality photos and videos of the hottest models, babes, pornstars & teens on the internet. It's sort of a quasi-network with a compilation of content from company sites including Busty Cafe, Watch You Jerk, Hungarian Honeys, and others. This means Babes Cartel is a widely varied collection of content with a huge archive of photo galleries and a nice amount of videos as well. Members do get access to the company network sites along with the Babes Cartel member's area.
Amount of content is probably Babes Cartel's biggest strength. The total amount of photo galleries is well over six thousand with over sixteen hundred video scenes. There are nearly two thousand pornstars in the mix too. Those are all nice totals and the site has been around for more than five years at the time of this review which is a good track record.
The sites from which the content is compiled include a blend of European, handjob, vintage, and teen themes. So that's what you'll find at Babes Cartel. A lot of shoots are solo model masturbation and toy play along with handjob, blowjob, some hardcore, and lesbian content. The vintage/classic stuff definitely jumped out at me as that stuff comes up first when you do niche browsing.
Download options are consistent in that they use WMV as the main video format. Full-scene files are usually available along with clip segments. Newer videos also have MP4 portable files and in-browser Flash streaming. Photos can be good quality at 2500x1675 and all galleries do have zips for saving the sets. I got quite good download speeds here.
Content items are date-stamped with update details and updates are added at a pace of several per week. They've consistently added new material for years.
There is a model index with preview pictures of the stars. Individual content scene pages link thru to pornstar names and also niches for locating similar/related scenes.
Babes Cartel has a real jumble of content and the full on hardcore banging and BJ content is in the minority. You'll see a lot more solo girl, toys, girl/girl, and handjob action than anything else. Older vintage content isn't original as it's from classic movies and that stuff comes up a lot when you browse by niche. Other stars like stars from past decades like Jill Kelly, Houston, or Asia Carrera and they are clearly not current pornstars with fresh content. The content archive overall is weighted much more heavily towards photo galleries than video scenes.
There are some newer high-def videos which top out at 1280x720 but a lot of the videos here are in 640x480 or similar specs. They do have fewer options on the older videos like some with just WMV or even only clip segments. Older videos are in WMV for streaming instead of Flash. Photo quality also drops down as you get to the mid-range and older galleries.
The navigation here has a commonly used script. It can be functional but there are some issues I ran into. The niche categories aren't very useful. When I went to browse by niche the results were dominated by vintage/classic porn and not current material. The model index is okay with alphabetical, date, and popularity browsing but you can't really do a lot of filtering there.
No video file size or spec information is posted on the downloadable video files.
There are some join page cross-sells and member's area upsells for other paysites and live cams.
Babes Cartel has an interesting mix of themes drawing on content from company sites like Hungarian Honeys and Watch You Jerk. The site features a ton of photo galleries and quite amount of videos too. The individual network sites are included with membership making Babes Cartel sort of a standalone sites and a network hub.
