Mary Kay Global Social Squad: Casie Hembree
Written by Parsons Green
Casie Hembree is another member of the recently assembled Mary Kay Global Social Squad. Yes, Casie got the exact same note from Mary Kay about her participation as the other members of the squad. No need to write anything personal to any of them, MK. They’re excited to work for you for free!
You may remember Casie for infamously leaving her Mary Kay director’s jacket in a hotel bathroom during Leadership 2025. She forgot about it for a month, and went full Karen mode when the hotel no longer had it in lost and found. The jacket contained over 20 years of valuable bumblebee pins worth tens of dollars.
A month after Casie realized her mistake, she posted a $2500 reward.
Casie’s Plea for the Jacket with commentary
YouTubers SamDee and Julie Anderson even covered the story on their channels. And then Casie shared the details of her carelessness in a Trip Advisor review that blamed the hotel’s lost and found policies.
Sadly, Casie received several texts from jokesters who did not take this seriously.
Casie never recovered her jacket, but through the combined efforts of the San Antonio Police Department and a private investigator, she recovered all but one of the bees from a local pawn shop.
Casie’s missing jacket drama brought a lot of buzz to Mary Kay, through postings on Pink Truth, Reddit, and YouTube. the consensus from most was “Is Mary Kay still around?”
With all of that great history, Mary Kay Inc. thought Casie to be the perfect person to make some noise for them on social media. Hopefully Casie can bring the buzz back to Mary Kay through her new role on the squad!

She hired a private investigator to help find something worth only a hundred dollars or so? And a $2500 reward?
Yes, she’s the perfect candidate for MK manipulation.
Earlier this year, my sister and I stayed at the Marriott Bonvoy attached to the Lancaster PA Convention Center. The rooms and meeting spaces were nice, everything was spotless, and the staff were great. And we remembered to take all our belongings when we left 😜

I thought that they had to wear them to travel in so that the Businessmen could easily identify them as Sooper Special Mary Kay Ladies and not {shudders} mere businesswomen or worse the help.
Right, and so that random flight attendants and barristas and other such mooks will tell them how they can always tell they are MK Ladies ™ and are so professional and the best customers ever 9_9
“Is Mary Kay still around?” This is hilarious. I actutlalyu had someone IRL – I wish I could recall who – being surprised that MKI is still around. I’m not sorry that the company is struggling.
Speaking of jackets, is this the year they get to buy newly designed jackets at Seminar? Can’t wait to see the tasteless ways they are styled. From the looks of some I have seen on FB, they still haven’t figured it out with the pink jacket. If MKC really cared about a professional look they should go back to full suits and include a jacket and skirt or dress and a pant option. Or better yet scrap the whole uniform altogether. Can you imagine the “fashion” if they did that?
The jacket announcement will come at Leadership in January! It should have been at this years leadership but MK held off because of “quality” issues with the samples.
And if you’ll believe that, you’ll believe anything. Which means the huns will believe it, or at least pretend they do because the Company is Good.
If there is another Director Jacket ™ I hope it’s that cheap jean jacket with the cheap fake pearls stuck all over it.
I wonder if this is true. (the quality issue thing)
I wonder if instead they are slow-rolling this as part of the larger strategy of eliminating the sales force.
I had a friend who worked at corporate and she told me that they were trying to save the sales force money by eliminating the full suit. At the time, she floated me (Sales Director at the time) the idea of just doing scarves! No uniform at all, just a scarf based on your rank. I was surprised when they did just the jacket.
I don’t get it with all of the open mouth smile photos. It might sell excitement or elation once or twice, but EVERY DANG PHOTO? Yuck.
I hate it too, but it’s apparently what works on social media.
