One of the most frustrating parts about Mary Kay Cosmetics is the deception during the recruiting process. “Doesn’t this look eeeeeeasy????” “All you do is squirt and smile! Squirt and smile!” “I just know you’d be great at doing what I do!” “Unlimited earnings, full-time pay for part-time hours, replacing …
A common question about Mary Kay Cosmetics is, “Is the market saturated?” Here we explore the real market for the products and whether or not Mary Kay is a viable business opportunity. I submit that yes, the market is saturated with Mary Kay Cosmetics, and the chances of making a …
Today I’m ranting again about the lack of the “executive income” in Mary Kay. Oh, I know the arguments by the Kaybots…. but what if women really don’t WANT to make an executive income. I heard so many women recruited with the promise of executive income and I heard so …
Written by Cathy I am not new to reading Pink Truth but this is my first time commenting. I am currently a consultant (for 6 months) and becoming very discouraged by my experience. I will admit that when I first started to read PT I thought that this can’t really …
Written by Pinkpeace How many times have we heard it or read it? “No one put a gun to your head to make you go into debt.” Well, technically Ms. Kaybot, that is a true statement. Years ago when I was given the inventory talk, I don’t recall my sales …

They tell us that multi-level marketing isn’t a pyramid scheme. When I say that it’s endless chain recruiting, they tell me that’s nonsense. But it IS all about recruiting. They pretend it’s about the products, but we’re bombarded by requests to bring guests and interview them. Oh, it’s just for …
Last month we talked about whether you could make a living selling Mary Kay products. Just selling skin care and cosmetics, not recruiting. If you sold $1,000 per week every week, you’d be lucky to profit $14,500 per year after expenses. But who is really even selling that much? Almost …
I’m starting to think that we could do a whole series on the false earnings claims that sales directors and NSDs in Mary Kay do in furtherance of their recruiting activities. Of course, there are laws specifically prohibiting MLM representatives from lying about the income you can make from these …
Do you think it’s only the “bad” women who do bad things in Mary Kay? Those who frontload new recruits, dial for dollars at the end of the month (i.e. get people to order products they don’t need), talk only about their highest commission check, lie about how profitable Mary …
