What's missing in the beauty industry?
Is there anything that you think is lacking in the beauty industry?
is there a product you think could change your life? Is there a service that would make your pamper time better? Or possibly there's a treatment you would like to do at home instead of a salon? Have you maybe seen something in another country that we don't have in the UK? Maybe there's some technology/website/app that you think would be a brilliant addition to the UK industry in particular? Do you find it easy to purchase cosmetics online or are you more inclined to purchase in store? why would you not like purchasing online- does colours not be true? |

I buy lots of stuff like nail decals, false eyelashes and stuff from Aliexpress or ebay, mainly because it's so much cheaper and there's so much more choice.
For example I get 10 pairs of false eyelashes for 99p so 10p per pair. They're really nice quality and look exactly the same as well known brands, such as Ardell demi wispies which cost over £3 for just one pair. My nail decals I pay only a few pounds for a hundred sheets. If you look in the high street shops there are hardly any shops that sell them and the ones that do are expensive and with very little choice. |

And tails, fluffy tails, different colours and different lengths that could be attached to belts. There you go, get on with it. |

A sense of shame?

Hmmmm, there is this tourmaline straightening hair brush, think it could be called air styler, or similar that is available in America but not here. I would buy a couple of them in a heartbeat if I could.

Who makes it? I have seen loads of tourmaline straightening hair brushes on Amazon.co.uk and similar on Boots, from the look of them I'd say that most of them are made in China - you need to check first. I bought a WAHL curling iron way back in 2014 - it did not heat up & when I tried to return it the company was no longer selling on Amazon. Now I only buy from Karmin Hair Tools as recommended by my hairdresser.
Righto, this is the sort of thing I'm looking for. http://youtu.be/48WGEsvCyoU When I search for something similar in the UK all I seem to find are metal barrelled brushes with short, sharp, nylon teeth. Hopefully someone will start importing these soon as I'm at the stage of "shut up and take my goddam money". |

You can get one from Aliexpress but you'll probably have to wait 3 or 4 weeks for it. There are a few sellers on there that do it. Here's a link to one of them.

Why don't you look at the specs for the Salon Series styling iron. My next door neighbour has really curly shoulder length hair and whenever she wants it dead straight she borrows my G3 Salon Pro. She says it works very well and so easy. She applies argan oil to her hair before using the styling iron - no heat damage.
Want the brush for those in between days. Plus it would be perfect for my daughters hair (who hasn't got a G3 as I'm not made of money!) |
