Mary Kay Sign Up Lies
Written by Parsons Green
Carrie Zuberer wants YOU to sign up for Mary Kay! You can choose the e-start option for only $35. When you sign up, you get 50% off your products!!
BUT WAIT. There’s a footnote after the $35. The footnote is:
*The 50% profit potential is based on a minimum $225 wholesale Section 1 product sales volume.
However, that discount comes with a deadline. It’s not disclosed until you get further into the sign on process, but the discount is only good for the rest of the month, and for the two calendar months after that. Once you become inactive, you need another $225 wholesale order.
So if you’re okay with that, Carrie promises that Mary Kay can help with bills, fun money, or savings.
Lacey Bradford is selling her Mary Kay inventory at a loss to help pay her bills.
Chelsea Adkins ordered too much inventory, and is selling these masks at a loss. She could have paid for a fun vacation with the money she used to order.
Lauren Wagner is trying to “beat her best,” a paltry $1,148, which leaves her with a couple hundred dollars of profit, if she’s lucky. Yes, that’s for a month of work. She is now on her 6th attempt to become a sales director.
Countless sales directors try and fail to earn the top director trip. Running around trying to do 50 facials or foundation matches in a day. Husbands offering to wear a kilt if the trip is earned. Huge, unobtainable goals shared publicly, along with the explanations on why they weren’t met.
Carrie promised a supportive and uplifting community in her post above. Ellen Bowman Cox is a perfect example of the supportive sisterhood that is all too prevalent in Mary Kay.
Examples like these are why I contribute to Pink Truth.
Do you think Carrie – or any director who tries to recruit you – would ever share this level of detail with you? Carrie needs YOU to order inventory so she can meet her monthly production goals – so she doesn’t have to use her own money. How’s that for the Golden Rule?

If feelings can’t be hurt, why did Ellen throw seventeen fits in one straight row over Spanish language translation services being available at corporate events, then seven more at anyone who called her out for it?
We really need the option to react with a laughing emoji. “seventeen fits in one straight row.” Thanks for the belly laugh this morning, Popinki!
😀 I read it in a book ages ago and I loved it. I think it’s a New England-ism but I like it too much to care about that. They can also be called “kitten fits” but kittens are too cute to be mentioned alongside Ellen.
Wow! Five boxes of masks? She must have been buying her way to something, perhaps Queen’s court or Unit sales.
Carrie Z’s biggest lie is that she has anything to teach about makeup application.
I love seeing Ellen “heffers” bowman Cox on the front page as an example of the positive kindness of our Mary Kay Ladies.
