a synchronized cosmetic turntable system further comprising:
a first turntable having a plurality of compartments located at a plurality of positions on the first turntable, each compartment representing a unique color scheme; and
a second turntable having a same number of compartments located at the same plurality of positions on the second turntable as on the first turntable, each compartment at a specific position representing a same color scheme as a compartment at a corresponding position on the first turntable,
wherein the second turntable fixedly rotates relative to the first turntable;
at least one accessory turntable having a plurality of compartments; a retractable electrical cord extending from the beauty center; and a hair styling device configured to be removably coupled to the retractable electrical cord, so as to provide an electrical current through the hair styling device.
2 . The beauty center of claim 1 , wherein each compartment of the first turntable corresponds to a first item from one of the following categories: eye shadows, lip colors, and nail polishes.

an axle to which the first turntable is coupled; and a third turntable coupled to the axle, such that the first and third turntables are vertically spaced thereon.
14 . A method for coordinating complementary products using a beauty center having a first turntable with a plurality of compartments for a plurality of first items, the compartments located at a plurality of positions on the first turntable, each compartment representing a unique color scheme, a second turntable having a plurality of compartments for a plurality of second items, the plurality of compartments comprising the same number of compartments as the first turntable, being located at the same plurality of positions on the second turntable as on the first turntable, and each compartment at a specific location representing a same color scheme as a compartment at a corresponding position of the first turntable, and a control for selectively starting and stopping rotation of the turntables, wherein the second turntable fixedly rotates relative to the first turntable, the method comprising:
selecting and positioning within each compartment of the first turntable, one of the plurality of first items; selecting and positioning within each compartment of the second turntable at a same position as the corresponding compartment of the first turntable, one of the plurality of second items based on the selections for the first turntable, such that each corresponding compartment in the first and second turntables contains complementary colored items; starting the fixed rotation of the first and second turntables; and stopping the fixed rotation of the first and second turntables when a desired combination of first and second items is displayed.
