Mary Kay Opinion - Brittanie
Written by L J on June 21, 2008 – 6:27 pm -I don’t agree at all with the principals behind MK. They are selling you products that aren’t any better than anyone else’s. If you can buy the products at half price, they are only making half of that, which means the makeup is only worth half of that. It is insane how much the directors haggle you. Mary Kay is a joke in my opinion. I am selling all of my inventory and want nothing to do with the company again.

Sure, it only costs half of that to make it. Probably only a fourth. No business would work if it didn’t sell product for more than they spent making it. How much do you think it costs to make NIKE shoes? That’s why stores CAN have sales. MK was created so that women can make money…. how many other companies let there base salesman get 50% profit??? This is a business and I understand that people get hurt and feel lied to. Being upset is OK. But I am in this not only for my discount but so that I can help my friends realize they don’t have to spend so much on makeup. Do you think that it costs more for lancome to make their stuff? No - it doesn’t. The fact that MK has made a product that IS just as good (if not better, at least FOR you) and you can buy it at the full amount for a fraction of your previous make-up is why I’m doing it. I’m sorry the directors haggled you. I’m sure you wished you had never talked to them in the first place. This is the kind of JOB where you have to set priorities and goals for yourself. And if you decide to get out, do it. I have a group of non-MK women (and my husband) who keep me in check. They don’t sing the songs, they want me to do what I need to do. And I have a great director who understands that I take my time doing things and am not in it for prizes or trips. I am doing this as a JOB. Sorry it didn’t work for everyone else, it is bound to not work for everyone.

“It is insane how much the directors haggle you. “ Yes I totally agree! “Help the team” so SHE doesn’t have to make a car payment! Well, HELLO, everyone else makes their car payments!
