This is a really good point. One I hadn't thought of because my nearest body shop store is less than 5 miles from my home (and the home of a "body shop at-home consultant" friend) . But you're right about wanting to test products out before buying and so for rural areas, this probably is a good thing to try in comparison to some other at-home party businesses.
ETA: Something else problematic about body shop at-home if you're not in a rural area: Body Shop stores themselves often have 20% off days if you sign up for their email list. Couple that with the shipping costs that at-home consultants have to charge, you end up paying about 30% more for products from the at-home parties.
