Model and social media personality Natalia Taylor has done a video on her experience with Mary Kay. It wasn’t good. The short version is that she was a broke college student who attended a Mary Kay party. She ended up signing up because she wanted to make money. And she …
I’m bringing back an article we published a few years ago about false earnings claims. I love these videos of sales directors lying about how much money is made in Mary Kay. The false earnings claims are so rampant because that is the top way women are recruited into Mary …
