'Smart dressing room' brings new ways to try before you buy

The world's first "smart dressing room" was unveiled in Hangzhou West Lake Intime shopping mall Thursday.

This new-type dressing room is equipped with automatic vending machines where people can buy lipsticks, mascara, and BB Cushion from well-known international brands like Lancome, Shu Uemura and Benefit.

There are also two virtual makeup mirrors developed by Tmall, a subsidiary of China's e-commerce giant Alibaba. Women can try makeup, and if they like what they see they can scan a QR code to buy it. The product will then be delivered to the buyer’s home, adding some fun to a boring wait time.
