Sounds like you are a failure and would like to blame that on someone…Put all that time and energy into something positive instead of spending it this way.

If you read my comment again Ms. Pezzack, it says that if Future Natural sells the products mentioned, then I doubt it will list an alternative seller. Case in point, to date, page by page, the products that you have highlighted on OBV that you happen to carry at FutureNatural takes them straight to the FN page. I was never addressing the other products that FN doesn’t sell so let’s make that quite clear. And it also does not include your recent FN promos (i.e. Zoya, Pure and True, etc).
And seeing that your addendum on 10/24 reflected a harsher tone shows that you are tempted to react. Temptation comes in MANY FORMS and so do reactions. With that said, do the math.
On a different note, as a beauty editor, I already question your recommendations as in your 1st issue that I briefly glanced over, you highlighted the Suki mascara. I am a big fan of Suki’s line, but the mascara has received mixed reviews, if not mostly negative, as in gorgeouslyreen.com and makeup.com. So much so, that the latter was giving away this $34 mascara for FREE with any $75 purchase. Now that should tell you something. So of all the mascaras to highlight (especially in your first issue where it is important to gain the trust of your yet to be established readers), you chose this one?!
So in summary, I obviously did my research and no I was not “slinging” accusations. If you are going to be a respected blogger and beauty editor, I ask that you be open to all comments.
As obviously, I was not the only person thinking it but just one of the ones who actually took the time to put it in written form. After all, it would not be a blog, if all we were doing was reading.

With all respect, re-read my post. You’ll see I’m not in denial about anything. I freely admit we’ll feature some Futurenatural products but the aim is to independently and fairly represent ALL organic & natural brands.

Because you missed it the first time…

“It’s my job to review and assess all the beauty brands I think are effective, modern, stylish and gorgeous – not just those from Futurenatural. What you’ll be seeing are some of our brands yes, but they’re a handful of what’s available so what you’ll actually get is as diverse a selection as possible – and the places to buy them”

You mean like taking seriously the position of president of the united states regardless of affiliations? Why would you try to convince us of that. Most “greenies” are pretty discerning and for you to try to convince us otherwise is an insult. If you cash in on your affiliation, you won’t be the first and you certainly won’t be the last to defend it. So at the very least, own up to it. Because I can almost guarantee if their is a product that is sold at Futurenatural, you won’t be sending them to amazon.com. And I can already foresee your selections growing leaps and bounds.
But you just keep on denying it…
