One of the most frustrating parts about Mary Kay Cosmetics is the deception during the recruiting process. “Doesn’t this look eeeeeeasy????” “All you do is squirt and smile! Squirt and smile!” “I just know you’d be great at doing what I do!” “Unlimited earnings, full-time pay for part-time hours, replacing …
Written by Cathy I am not new to reading Pink Truth but this is my first time commenting. I was a consultant for 6 months and became very discouraged by my experience. I will admit that when I first started to read PT I thought that this can’t really be …

Another unsurprising instance of lying about profits by a Mary Kay sales director. This time we have Chelsea Claytor saying she “played in makeup and ate cookies and cupcakes” and “made $300 profit.” False earnings claims again. Chelsea uses Mary Kay Math to get to her numbers. If you do …
Mary Kay has come up with a new schedule for paying bonuses to consultants, directors, and NSDs. Instead of the old once-a-month payment of bonuses, they’re now going to do it 1 to 3 days after bonus was earned. I imagine this may have something to do with all the …
