A virtual mirror that lets you try on new makeup shades before buying them.

L'Oreal is rolling out a new app for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and iPad that allows customers to take the guessing out of trying a new color lipstick or a new shade of eye shadow.

But the company's CEO says there might be an opportunity to expand to the home of the pizza. Of course, there's tons of competition there, but he says there's very little delivery available throughout the country.
