What is Lace Your Face Exactly?
Lace Your Face is a new kind of face mask.
According to their website, the lace masks are made with fabric that has compression technology, which is “infused with [a] beneficial treatment solution for the skin that drives active ingredients through all layers of the skin.” These all-natural masks are eco-friendly, reusable, and hypoallergenic. They aid in skin hydration, smoothness, wrinkles, texture, and more.
The collections include masks with various benefits and range in price from $15 to $55.
Several of the sharks mock the look of the mask, but guest shark Bethenny Frankel thinks they are “beautiful.” Since 2015, they have done $1.3 million in sales. Lori Greiner likes how convenient the masks are since they stay on the face so easily.
Frankel worries about the price point, while Robert Herjavec thinks there would be too many challenges.
He goes out, followed by Mark Cuban. Frankel decides to offer $350,000 for 30 percent, but says the price needs to come down. Daymond John doesn’t think he would be helpful and goes out, as does Greiner.
The duo then shares that they have 50,000 in inventory, which intrigues the sharks. Ultimately, however, they counter Frankel at 15 percent – but before she has the chance to accept the counteroffer, Greiner jumps in and steals the deal.
