Happy Independence Day! It’s also a great time to celebrate your freedom from the pink cult of Mary Kay Cosmetics.

Also, Pink Truth turns 19 years old today. Thanks for your support for all these years. Mary Kay was sure we’d go away quickly, but we’re still here!

Happy Independence Day to all our readers!

Today, while we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms we hold dear, we also mark another important milestone: the anniversary of Pink Truth.

Nineteen years ago, this site began as Mary Kay Sucks, a small corner of the internet dedicated to telling the truth about the pink pyramid. Back then, many people (including Mary Kay Cosmetics themselves) were convinced this platform would fade away. They thought our voices would be silenced, that the stories of deception, debt, and disappointment would stay hidden.

They were wrong.

Nearly two decades later, Pink Truth is still here, shining a light on the reality behind the pink curtain and giving thousands of women the support and validation they could not find anywhere else. Every day, more women find the courage to step away from the pink fog and reclaim their independence, their finances, and their peace of mind.

So today, as you celebrate freedom with your friends and family, take a moment to honor your personal independencefrom the manipulation, the guilt, and the endless cycle of false promises. Whether you left Mary Kay years ago or just yesterday, you deserve to feel proud of the choice you made to break free.

Thank you for being part of this community and for standing with us all these years. We are still here. We are still telling the truth. And we are not going anywhere.

Happy Independence Day and Happy Anniversary to Pink Truth!
