It is sad that when someone isn’t successful because of their lack of trying, people blame someone else. Bitter people blame others. It is sad there is such a victim mentality out there!
The MK company does repurchase products purchased within a year at 90%. In a years time, you should be able to make a decision if the opportunity is right for you.
I think that says volume to the fact that Mary Kay is NOT a scam, but has an opportunity for the few that choose to give it a try.
Look at the numbers of how many go to college and quit. Does that mean no one should make any attempt to go to college? Think about that!

Sara, check back in when Mom & Dad terminate your scholarship. I want to see how fired up you are then.

You sound like a bitter woman. Mary Kay is the ONLY product that has ever done wonders for my skin!

If you want to investigate a recruiting scheme or a pyramid company, investigate NuSkin! See what they tell you about recruiting people. They will tell you to recruit five people within the first three weeks you join them. They don’t even give you an opportunity to be a customer because the push to recruit you right away!

After you learn about NuSkin, then come back and tell me what you think of Mary Kay!

I am sorry but you people are ignorant. Have you spoken with an actual Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant? Have you heard what they have to say? Mary Kay changed my life!

I am 22 and I am a MK Independent Beauty Consultant. Everything Mary Kay Inc. does is legit and legal and definitely is not fraud. Mary Kay in fact is not even a pyramid!!! Yes, we recruit, but we don’t have to in order to make money. The philosophy of Mary Kay is follow the Golden Rule, the “GoGive” Spirit! We simply help women and teach about skin care and if they don’t want it, it’s okay. We just move on. We also do not recruit in a pyramid-like matter. We give women the opportunity to take control of their lives and become their own boss and own their own business!

As for the one, Lu, that was doing research to look for the top sales people/”Queens of Sales” look harder, the evidence is there!

Are you ashamed to be associated with MK, and saddened to learn the truth? MK enriches the pocket books of the 1% TOPP’s (top of the pyramid people) specifically by depleting the pocket books of the other 99%. As to women’s “lives”, MK destroys relationships and the emotional well being of women who are deceived into joining and incurring thousands of dollars of debt.

As with all legal pyramid schemes (aka MLMs), the very structure of the” business model” is morally and ethically reprehensible.

Sorry if this is out of place, but I got to this site while looking for a list of top salespeople/”queens of sales?” for MKC. Is it available anywhere? I would think that promoting/honoring such individuals (on an annual basis) would make for good publicity, but I couldn’t find it on MKC’s website. Thanks for a point in the right direction.

Quoting Barbara’s comments from February 5, 2010: “I make enough to cover the costs of the make-up and shipping – that’s it. ”

Not quite what I would consider a glowing endorsement of a Mary Kay enterprise…more like a hobby than a business, hmm?

Woow sound like somebody wasn’t invited to the American Way, while your at it, bash, Wal-Mart, Target, Macy, and all the other sales opportunities that’s in your face every 5 minutes on commercials, grow up and stop being angry cry baby, it’s a great opportunity if your willing to work., if not well you can go off to college and pay over a hundred thousand dollars their and finish with your degree and start your sales position at Home Depot or McDonald’s. It’s called LIFE!!!!!
