There's no denying the binge-worthy watchability of Shark Tank, with its intense, high-stakes negotiations between entrepreneur and investor. But how many products actually make it through the process and come out fortuitous — even if they don't get any investment backing? You may be surprised to learn that a number of them do pretty damn well, and today we're rounding up 10 of the best beauty inventions that've been featured on the show.
1 The Sleep Styler
After testing over 100 different fabrics to create silky curls while she slept, Tara Brown launched The Sleep Styler ($30), no-heat curling strips that you put in before bed and take out in the morning. Since its Shark Tank appearance — where Lori Greiner invested $75,000 for a 25 percent stake — sales have increased from $75,000 to $45 million.
2 Drainwig Shower Hair Catcher
You could let all your hair go down the shower drain and spend oodles on potent plumbing liquid . . . Or you could catch all the hair and be satisfyingly disgusted every time you clean out the drain!
The Drainwig Shower Hair Catcher ($20) — developed by Jennifer and Gifford Briggs and showcased on Shark Tank's ninth season — catches all those runaway strands and saves you lots of money and stress in the process. You can buy it at Ace Hardware and Amazon.
3 Lip Bar Vegan Lipstick
Melissa Butler appeared on Shark Tank with her vegan, cruelty free Lip Bar Lipstick ($12) on season six, and walked away with a big fat nothing. She didn't let it stop her, though, and she turned rejection into something positive. The brand just launched at Target, where it's now available to consumers far and wide!
4 Dr. Edna's BareEASE Pre-Waxing Treatment for Sensitive Areas
Nobody likes a painful wax session, which is exactly why Dr. Edna Ma invented BareEASE Pre-Waxing Treatment ($13). It's a cream that preps your skin by moisturizing and numbing your bikini area before you wax or laser. How genius is that? Dr. Edna didn't get any takers on the show, but she find a different investor afterward and the product is a must-own for many. You can buy it on Amazon.
5 AngelLift Dermastrips
AngelLift Dermastrips ($79) are strips with subdermal technology that add volume to fine lines and wrinkles around your lips without you having to consult a plastic surgeon. They made their appearance on the fifth season of Shark Tank, and have maintained a loyal following ever since.
6 Glow Recipe
Sarah Lee and Christine Chang co-founded Glow Recipe, an e-commerce destination loaded with carefully curate Korean beauty products. Their Shark Tank appearance garnered them a $425,000 investment from Robert Herjavec for 25 percent, and since then, their site has received an increase in visibility and sales. They've also launched their very own line, which you've probably heard of because of the breakout success of the Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask

7 SunscreenR UV Camera
How many times have you applied sunscreen, frolicked outdoors for a couple hours, then realized you missed a few spots? Entrepreneurs David Cohen and Jon Meyer saw this problem and aimed to fix it with Sunscreenr, a high tech camera that shows whether you're adequately covered.
After their $800,000 Shark Tank investment from Kevin O'Leary fell through, they opted to continue raising funds on Kickstarter.
Though this product is an outlier on this list in the sense that it hasn't yet launched, once it does, we'll be the first to buy it.
8 Yes Mo Beauty No Mo-Stache
Jennifer Paschall and Gita Vasseghi developed No Mo-Stache ($18), a discreet, tote-able tin filled with 12 mess-free waxing strips you can use above your lip. The product made its appearance on season nine of Shark Tank, where guest investor Bethenny Frankel and Lori Greiner invested $100,000 together for a 25 perent return.
The company has grown immensely since the episode aired, and the founders have said that they've had tons of opportunities for wider distribution. No Mo-Stache is currently available at Anthropologie, and will arrive at Ulta and CVS this Summer.
9 Saavy Naturals Food Grade Edible Soaps and Skin Care
Hugo and Debra Saavedra are former organic chefs, so their all-natural, food-grade skincare brand, Saavy Naturals, makes perfect sense. They pitched their line on the seventh season of Shark Tank, where Barbara Corcoran offered them $100,000 for 40 percent equity.
Today, their line of products is available for everyone on Amazon.
10 Alaskan Glacial Mud Mask
Lauren Padawer, an Alaskan fisherwoman and entrepreneur, developed the Alaskan Glacial Mud Mask ($35), which is made from natural Alaskan mud and infused with lavender and peppermint. She took it to Shark Tank during their fifth season, and walked away with zilch.
Despite that, her company received enormous exposure via the show and the brand continues to sell well worldwide. The product also has a loyal following of fans, as evidenced by its many five-star reviews on Amazon.
