Mary Kay’s Fancy Nancy Update
Written by Parsons Green
Pink Truth recently shared that Mary Kay was rebranding one of their best selling lipsticks. Fancy Nancy will now be known as Fancy Coral, since CEO Ryan Rogers apparently hates his stepmother and can’t stand the fact that a product was named after her. The Fancy Nancy news was recently shared with consultants.
Kimberley Grey thinks coral is not a color that women love.
Madison Ross loves Fancy Nancy. It’s her favorite! Gabrielle Fini agrees. It’s a waste of MONEY. Holly Bambolo ponders why the feedback she’s submitted never seems to matter. 
Melissa Mulvihill is also weary of this change. She does NOT carry a huge inventory. She doesn’t want outdated products. Kathy Severin agrees. She’s been with Mary Kay 18 years and will never again carry a full inventory.
Mary Kay lifer and nsd never to be Lynette Bickley wants everyone to sell the sizzle. Time to finish out the last quarter and seminar year. Vera Carpenter tells the original poster to quit whining. Barbara is rightfully agahst and Vera’s response. She does not feel the need to genuflect to the memory of Mary Kay.
Tracy Lynn thinks this will make even more customers ready to try it!
Janice Jablonski thinks the change is because the Fancy Nancy name is shared by a children’s book series. If so, why did it take so long for the author or publisher to request a name change?
Patti Kelton thinks there might be a surplus of Fancy Coral in other countries and Mary Kay needs to clean out their global overstock.
Shalome Dow is another Mary Kay lifer. She knows the behind the scenes lawsuits between Richard and Ryan and knows that Mary Kay has not paid a dividend to it’s shareholders in years. The name Nancy needs to go. Lynette Bickley then puts down her pompoms and lets everyone know she’s praying.
Phew! Glad we could hear from the directors. Ryan will surely take their comments into consideration. Just kidding! His desire to erase Nancy from his life is much greater.

Where’s your patience ladies? A more appropriate name to get these ladies to slow their roll might be Antsy Pantsy.
😂🤣
This morning, I fired up my Instagram account, and one of the first things that popped up was a vintage ad for women’s novelty underwear – with giant ants on them. Then I read DJ’s comment and giggled like a maniac.
“Holly Bambolo ponders why the feedback she’s submitted never seems to matter.” Because they don’t give a rat’s tushie about you and what you think. They only want you to keep spending your money to line their pockets.
“Barbara is rightfully agahst and Vera’s response. She does not feel the need to genuflect to the memory of Mary Kay.”
Keep it up, Barb. You’re headed in the right direction.
Holly- your feedback doesn’t matter because the consultants don’t matter!
I would go right for a coral as orangey lip colors look great on me. Mango Margz and CU in Maui, the orange shades by Fenty, are absolute rock stars. Thanks Rihanna for having my back!
“You get surveys?” lol.
I agree, so many cosmetics companies don’t have warmer tones. Mary Kay has always favored pink lipsticks. When I was a consultant I didn’t wear Mary Kay lipstick because they were all too pink. Thank goodness no one ever asked me what color I was wearing. Lol
More outdated inventory that won’t appear online or in the Look Book and the consultants left holding the bag, literally. Everyone is going to have to buy the same lipgloss in the same colour they already have but just with a different name. Like that time MK changed the name of one lipgloss from natural to sugar, a clear one same colour different name.
And foundation changes formula on the 1st of May. And the foundation doesn’t sound great – the tube has to be shaken up as the product separates so it sounds like it’s full of silicone and fillers like Younique’s liquid oil slick, sorry, foundation which had massive issues with separation.
Sorry that was natural to starry, not sugar.
Before I knew i was pregnant, the smell of my Mary Kay lipstick all of the sudden made me gag. Ugh! Until then, I did a full face- full of MK. Had to stop once I was aware I was pregnant. Have never gone back. Isn’t it weird how our senses hold on to memories?! Now, give me Loreal or Clinique. I’ve been pink-free for 29 years now thanks to the havoc my son played upon my hormones ‘en utero.’ Got a great kid!
I read through those comments and can’t help but think of the 1980s prime-time soap-operas. Falcon Crest…Dynasty…Knots Landing.
Seems to be another one I’m forgetting…starts with a D…
Dallas! (I’m currently watching Knot’s Landing from the beginning and am up to season 11!)
Customers like MK because of the nostalgia. OK, I like the colors like Rum Raisin and Black Honey, but not because that was the color of my college years. It’s because they are classic colors that look good on me.
OK, confession, I’ve got the June 1990 GAP playlist going while I type this. But that’s not all I listen to.
