Volition Beauty: Breakthrough Beauty That Lets You Create & Vote for New Products by Belinda Lichty Clarke

The concept has been successful with clothing companies such as Betabrand, but now brand crowdsourcing has entered the beauty market. Volition Beauty lets you vote on other contributor's skin care and beauty concepts and then, if they make it to production, you get a big discount on the product once it's available. 

If you have a genius idea for a new product you'd like to see realized, you can submit it for voting! Current products include a turmeric scrub, eucalyptus stretch mark minimizer and liquid bronzer, all brainstormed by people like us and created in Volition's laboratories. It's a fun concept that has resulted in numerous great products at totally affordable prices.
