Imagine devoting more than 30 years of your life to Mary Kay, and still not getting to the top. Cindy Machado Flippen doesn’t have to imagine. She has lived it. For 30 years she has been grinding… trying to get to the position of national sales director, and failing. What …
Last week Mary Kay threatened to sue Jennifer Bickel Cook for writing a tell-all book about her time working for Mary Kay Ash and the Mary Kay Museum and Mary Kay Foundation. They made good on the threat on Friday. The complaint is quite a read. Here are some of …
The Mary Kay ladies get so bothered by Pink Truth. They’re busy saying that we are telling lies and are full of hate, all the while they’re hating on us and telling lies about us. Yesterday in one of their private Facebook groups, they discussed our article on Mary Kay’s …
Mary Kay Inc. is nothing if not petty and controlling. And they’re awfully litigious. Remember all the lawsuits against women who were trying to sell the thousands of dollars of products they purchased from MK? It didn’t matter to MK that the company got paid in full for those products. …

A note from a Pink Truth critic who says Mary Kay is simple, we made it hard, and it’s your fault if you were talked into buying inventory. I am currently an IBC & I have found myself at this site as I too have had my occasional doubts about …
I found this last week on Facebook, written by a woman who was “successful” in Xyngular (a nutritional supplement MLM). She’s been in their “presidents club” for years. Think of this like Mary Kay’s $650,000 unit club, and the sales director gets to go on the top director trip. This …
