Brenna Will Be Tearing Up That $100 Check She Wrote Yesterday
Written by L J on August 8, 2008 – 9:09 am -Your Name: Brenna
Date Joined MK : August 7, 2008
When Left MK or Still Active?: August 8, 2008
Initial Inventory Purchased: None
How were you recruited?:
I recently moved to a new area and a lady randomly called me and said she wanted to welcome me to the neighborhood by giving me a bunch of free MK products and a free facial. (The “free products” were actually just a bag of those stupid paper samples tied with a ribbon–Thanks for adding to my recycling bin lady) That facial took 3 hours. My husband was pretty annoyed since it was his day off.
Memorable experience you had in MK:
The hilarious “scripts.”

Singer Jewel This Year’s MK “Kiss For Country” Spokesperson
Written by L J on August 7, 2008 – 9:57 am -Singer/Songwriter Jewel is the spokesperson for Mary Kay’s “Kiss For Country” campaign this year.
The second annual event enlists celebrities to make their lipstick-coated lip print on a card to be auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation to benefit women affected by domestic violence. Martina McBride was recruited as spokesperson for last year’s inaugural event.
To kick off the event, Jewel joined a group of 25 Mary Kay Consultants to help clean up the backyard of a women’s shelter in the Nashville area.
This is a great cause.
So why does the cynical side of me worry about the women in shelters being subjected to a recruiting pitch by those MK Consultants?

I can’t believe all the negativeness at this site! That might be one of the reasons your business was not successful. Who wants to be around a bunch of negative people.
MK does not twist your arm to participate in any of the training, Seminars, events, etc. It is all optional.

Just a Few Bad Apples
Written by L J on August 3, 2008 – 1:07 pm -We’ve often heard the response from active Mary Kay consultants that bad experiences in Mary Kay can be blamed on a few “bad” directors or consultants in the company.
I finally realized that there’s a communication problem here.
The women who have had unpleasant experiences in Mary Kay aren’t saying that the directors and other consultants they encountered are necessarily bad people. It’s their behavior, the required Mary Kay speak and attitude, that is horrible.
There are more than “just a few bad apples” in Mary Kay, and they share many of the following behaviors:
- pushing consultants to spend more on inventory, Seminar and other events than they wanted to
- asking consultants to give up a Saturday morning with their family for a recruiting brunch

Marie Shares Her “Creepy” Mary Kay Experience
Written by L J on July 11, 2008 – 3:35 pm -A reader named Marie sent this message describing her experience as a guest at a Mary Kay meeting.
I appreciate your website as well as others who feel the same as I do. I was invited to a MK meeting/skin care. Was made to take off personal makeup to try MK products. I looked terrible/like a stuffed pig, colors were not for me. When the meeting leader showed me a huge case of products that she unrolled,retail to me over $200, I guess I gave her the impression I was not interested, she slammed it on the table.
