Interesting point.
I think client is not always right especially when the commercial success of a business is at stake. Sometimes what is actually good for business is entirely opposed to what they think. Business owners often make choices on their emotional responses which is often not the best and most correct thing to do.
Its important to look at other successful beauty brands and see what it is that makes their logo successful. Remeber many thousands of pounds will have gone into the research and development of their identities and their is something to be learnt from them.

they are all quite simple and that is the market I think your trying to tap into
it is mainstream – but mainsteam = big brand = lots of money
correction: mainstream = big brand = lots of money = sellout
urm… business’s like to sell stuff…maybe Ive missed the point
also think it is possible for stylish and commercial to co-exist
No Hard feelings at all. Just being honest.
Blind praise is equally as non constructive in my opinion.
I have to admit modelling my G on yours though, very sexy typeface whatever it is. It has a subtle differentce though as Im sure you have noticed.
Pink maybe predictable but cliche’s are not always bad because they have a strong connection to the subject they are conveying.
Not jealousy more disbelief actually.
Sorry
