Mary Kay

I feel as if I have neglected my blog lately. I wanted this blog to be something that someone enjoys reading and comes back to every now and then. I have been kind of bummed at the lack of people that frequent my blog. Anyway, I will try harder to think of somethings that I would like to write about.

So, my best friends mom, Shari, sells Mary Kay. She has just started and so I thought I would help her out and get her started by letting her practice giving me a facial and trying out their products. So, Shari called me to get a facial. She said she had to do 15 faces in 15 days. I thought okay, I am a stay at home mom that doesn't get away very often and needs some pampering. I actually was really excited to take some time out for myself and focus on me for a change.

I went to my facial and was really impressed by the product line that Mary Kay had out. Their cleanser and moisturizer is great, but what I really liked was their microdermabrasion product. Since I have a really bad case of acne in college I had these horrible acne scars that I thought were more noticeable than they really were, but aren't we all like that? I actually didn't realize how much I liked this product until the very next day. I notice how awesome and soft my skin was. Anyway, after my facial, I purchased a couple of things from Shari, but could not spend much money, so I only purchased some eye make-up remover and some eye gel that takes away puffy eyes. Being a mom that gets up early with the kiddos, my eyes look puffy, and this stuff really works. But like I said the very next day, I really had wished I got the microdermabrasion set.

So, I was done with my facial and when I received my products, Shari asked me if I would like to host a party with some friends so she could get practice doing a group of people. So, of course I thought I could gather some friends and have a get together. I invited all my stay at home mom friends that I knew would like to get out of the house. But unfortunately, most of my friends had something else planned for that day. Two of my friends showed up to the party. It actually was a lot of fun. And my friends loved the products that Mary Kay had to offer.

For hosting the party I was entitled to some free products since my friends were so gracious enough to purchase some products. I was able to get $75 worth of free product. I was really excited and was thinking of what I could get. Hmmm. Of course I was going to get the microdermabrasion set and would still have money left for something else. But Shari had other plans for me and said that Mary Kay was offering a promotional deal right now and if I signed up to be a consultant and sell Mary Kay I would put my $75 towards me signing up to be a consultant and receive $325 of product free. All I had to do is sell Mary Kay and since my friends bought some products they would be my clients when they needed to re-order. Hmmm. I thought I won't be out of any money and if I don't like it I have nothing to lose because I just got $325 worth of product for free. So, that is what I did. I am now a Mary Kay consultant. Plus, since I signed up as a consultant, Shari, moves up a level and is closer to her pink Caddy.

In my big ol' box of free products I got all the cleansing products except the microdermabrasion set. It is a new product and it has not made it into the box yet. So, as disappointed as I am about not having that great product, I have to wait until I sell some Mary Kay and am able to support my beauty regiment. Since using the cleanser, moisturizer, Day and Night solution, which takes away wrinkles because of the retinal in the solution. If any of you have read my previous entry titled A Wrinkle In Time, you will know that I have been concerned about not aging so gracefully. Anyway, I think I have found the perfect product to help me.

So, I was scared of being a consultant because I don't want to be pushy. That is not my nature and I don't like it when people are pushy and won't take no for an answer. So, here is my little non-pushy sale for Mary Kay. I sell it, if you want some leave me a comment with your email address and I will email you back.
