Procter & Gamble's reflect.com asks women a series of questions, from their skin type to their personal style, and then offers custom-blended products not available in any store. Newcomer 2glow. com eschews the superstore approach, opting instead for streamlined Top 10 lists of soap, lipstick and lotion that have been rated by consumers.
