I bought the foundation and conclear and had to go to the emergancy room the same day my eye and face swole up like a baloon.

i meant the money i paid for it, plus that again. double my money – i paid $15, got it back and then had another $15 for the retail price.

“of course i had cash in hand, and then some. i had twice what i put into it. i had something right then to sell, double my money and pay a bill.”

Lisa, if I understand your post correctly you are making money because you charge 2 x the suggested retail price. That’s the only way you could have cash in hand, product already paid for and double the money to pay your bills.

You are either lying or a scam artist with really stupid customers who are willing to pay double for MK without any hostess or PCP gifts either! You are a “Genius” maybe you could teach your business plan at Harvard or at least be CEO of MKC!

Not very Golden Rule IMO!

"i could give countless examples of times when the selling of my mary kay products paid an electric bill, or my rent, or put food on the table for my 5 children;" Because you got the money out of the product. You then had cash in hand.

maybe the product (which one?) was horrible for you, but that doesn’t warrant a blanket, “plus the product is horrible.” it’s also not a scam – unfortunately, there are consultants/directors that only think of the inventory purchase for the quick (and usually not much) money. i started selling mary kay when i was 19 and am now 47 and have never been talked into huge inventory. maybe not in your case, but certainly in some, women buy product for a prize or recognition within the unit, then complain later they were “forced” or “talked into it”, when really they knew they would not be selling the purchased product/inventory – attention in some manner was the fleeting reward. i’ve heard it all and then some in 28 years and it really saddens me to hear of ladies who had bad experiences and then “hate” mary kay and anyone associated with it. i could give countless examples of times when the selling of my mary kay products paid an electric bill, or my rent, or put food on the table for my 5 children; i know women can make extra money with it.

I had your same experience, only..i didn’t run..They suckered me into buying over 800 dollars in inventory…so there i was 18 years old, right out of high school and already in debt..which was impossible to get out of because i had to buy more inventory to keep my business going…it’s all a scam, plus the product is horrible!!

I am shocked at your consultant’s behavior. I have never had an experience such as yours and don’t think I would like to! I am a consultant myself and attribute poor behavior like your consultant’s to greed, possibly even an air that she thinks she is better than other people, and it is certainly not right. Just don’t let that fog your view of Mary Kay as a company or the other consultants/directors. I mean, I’m not that crazy!
