An Obstacle to Recovery is Hope

May 3, 2022 May 2, 2022 9

I recently heard this statement on a television talk show: “One obstacle to recovery is hope.” They went on to discuss how hope plays a part in people recovering from tragedies or moving forward in their lives. In the real world, hope is often helpful in the recovery process. You …

Loyalty, Hope, and Denial

May 2, 2022 May 2, 2022 5

Written by Raisinberry A while back I got to wondering about all the women who are aware of Pink Truth, perhaps have read it from time to time, and still remain in Mary Kay, under some of the most damning “I stories” they could encounter. The easy suggestion might be …

Some Questions for NSDs

April 6, 2022 March 21, 2022 11

Written by Robin After spending a few years in Mary Kay, I quit. After $41,000 invested in this “business” and seeing what I saw, I just couldn’t do it anymore. I was tired of all the deception. These women don’t live in reality. They think they are running a business, …

Favorite Mary Kay Lies

March 31, 2022 March 15, 2022 17

I thought it would be fun to tell you about some of my favorite lies told in Mary Kay. Lies? Lies, you say? But you thought Mary Kay was a “Christian” company! Wrong! It’s a company that exploits Christianity for monetary gain. By spouting things about Christianity, they get women …

Manipulating Women With Guest Events

March 30, 2022 March 15, 2022 21

In Mary Kay, there is a script for everything. If you invite someone to a success meeting or guest event, you better be ready to use a script. These events are held because they increase the recruiting odds dramatically. The NSDs want you to make the most of your opportunity …

March 28, 2022 March 25, 2022  chelsea claytor adkins 9

Don’t you love to hear about the “Mary Kay Way” and the uplifting, positive women in Mary Kay Cosmetics? You see someone like Chelsea Adkins (Claytor) being crowned queen of something-or-another and you want to be like her. No. You. Do. Not. She lies and steals her way through life. …

Mary Kay’s Dishonesty and Manipulation

March 24, 2022 March 13, 2022 5

Written by Raisinberry One of the reasons you are kicking yourself for joining Mary Kay is that you knew it was suspicious from the beginning. You had some questions and you felt it in your gut, but you swept that idea aside because you fell for the charisma and sincerity …

Using Peer Pressure and Guilt

March 23, 2022 March 6, 2022 6

Written by Marcy After my stint in Mary Kay and two other MLMs, I have come to the conclusion that many people stay because of two factors: peer pressure and guilt. We come into this new “business opportunity” all excited about a new venture with limitless possibilities. This new endeavor …

An NSD Overcomes Your Objections

March 10, 2022 March 6, 2022 13

Written by The Scribbler Circular reasoning, faulty logic, and subtle bullying straight from the top of the food chain, friends. Pay special attention to the last line of this NSD’s script – its guidance is designed to help recruiters get you into a mode where you’re more likely to answer …

Why Directors Want Star Consultants

February 17, 2022 January 20, 2022 11

Why do Mary Kay sales directors push so hard for consultants to be “star consultants”???? It’s not because it helps the consultants. A star consultant is simply someone who has ordered $1,800 wholesale or more during a quarter. In real businesses you don’t order products if you’re not selling them, …
