PS McDonalds and WalMart do not make house calls.

What she said!

Those parties suck @$$!!! One of my really good friends just started selling MK, while I don't have bad opinions of the product, I believe in going to the store to get what I want......when I want it!

That is the point. You don't have to buy anything. You can continue doing what ever you want to do. No one is forcing you to get a facial/makeover or to buy the products. It's just something fun to do with friends, family, and those close to you.

I use Mary Kay because I like the products. I don't really care about the fact that they donate to charity or that they were founded to "empower women" or whatever-- most companies donate a substantial amount to charity or have some kind of philanthropic cause.

This is a message board. We can talk about whatever we want. If you don't like it, leave.

You're welcome to continue talking about Mary Kay Ash, but you're not going to change anyone's opinions about the company, products, etc.

It's your choice if you choose to waste your time. Welcome to Greek Chat.

HA! I recently was stalked by a neighbor who had just started selling Mary Kay. I told her that the products were not for me and that the "facials" always made me break out. She still came and knocked at my door for about 2 weeks, then she would leave her business card on my car and at my door. No thank you, means no thank you!

Oh and I went to one of their meetings once for a friend of mine about 5 years ago....NEVER AGAIN! It was like a cult and even after I told my friend that I didn't want to sell it she would tell me things, like "you are the perfect woman to sell Mary Kay because your life is so busy." I even had a lady at Wal-Mart once stop me in the detergent aisle to ask me if I wanted to come to one of her parties. When I politely said no, she still proceeded to tell me about her products. If you have to beg people to buy your products, you might want to stop! I bet 90% of their sales are people who have purchased the products just to get the Consultants/Sales Director/whatever they call them to leave them alone. I will admit I bought nail polish from this lady a few years ago because she wouldn't stop bothering me. The nail polish ended up being awful and it didn't dry very well at all....


But that's just my two cents....

This thread is like David Duchovney's career. Every time you think it's over, it comes back.
