If I still lived in my hometown, I wouldn't hesitate to start a Body Shop at Home business. The nearest BS is 70 miles away and I think the products are different enough that it's an option women would like. And I know I personally don't like to buy any type of cosmetic without seeing/smelling/testing it first. I'm guessing other women are the same.
We still have LOTS of rural areas of the country where there isn't a lot of choice and if you want something fancier than Revlon, you're SOL unless you want to drive an hour or plop down lots of $$ on something you've never tried. So I can understand why women still want to do this.
However - you have to proceed cautiously and not allow yourself to get in over your head.
