first off these smileys are off the friggin chain!! 2nd I've been a MK consultant for 2 months and i would like input on just some of the "experiences i've had. Well when i first got hooked on MK they made it sound like it was too good to b true and even agreed! i knew that theres got to b something else though b/c they always try and tell u all the good stuff and none of the truth. Well a year later,i turned 18 and decided maybe this will be good for me and i have already seen ALOT of the scams ya'll have talked bout on this site and im glad i found it! but to b honest i am gullable,but not stupid. thers something bout my director,she has her 4th car and has been in it for 8years. she said she earned her first car in just her 1st 4 months...yeah right. but now im coming to find out how she did it! she scams everyone and pushes you to make big orders like she tried me. knowing that i just had a baby and pregnant again,she still pushed for at least a $600 order! i didnt do it b/c thats alot of money for cosmetics and why am i going to buy that much when i dont know what the ppl i havent even met is going to want.? so i stuck with a $200 order and thats really my limit,whatever i sell thats what i'll buy,stuff that i need. DUH. well she hosted my first class and i dcided i never want her to do another! all i did was talk to them and do some makeup and they said i acted like i knew what i was talkin bout more than her. so how in the he** is she so successful? she was 30min. late to my 1st class,she placed the order for me and come to find out it was shipped to the wrong house and had to wait an xtra week for my customers to get there order b/c i thought she already ordered it for me when they made the orders but she didnt! i was so pissed. I have more stories b/ this letter is getting long,b/ what i have learned is i am going to stay in this business b/c it is helping more confident and to talk to ppl,maybe get some new friends in the future and plus i love their makeup. also ive learned what to watch for and im going to b totally independent. I'm going to try and follow the golden rule god first,family second,career third b/c thats how it should always b.i knew that b4 i joined MK. I respect mary kay ash alot and ive read her books that has inspired me and wether she was real or not about how she wanted this business to be i'll keep her in my mind the way i think of her as, kind,respectful,determined and making this business just to help women,not just for there money.

I have alot of questions but on my mind right now is...since marykay has been around for like 45years how come they r only in texas? it cost me over 20 ex. dollars for shippin. why wouldnt they make it more convenient for there workers to have it all around the world? it doesnt make any since and its kinda selfish. another selfish thing is we have to pay for the kit,then website,opptional MK credit card,business kits,etc which i think all should b free. especially with all the money we have to pay and all the orders we have to make. we are the ones thats holding that business up. why dont they make it easier for us?

  it sucks! but ive been readin bout gettin things on ebay and stuff. i know its got to be totally against the rules but who wants to pay like $50 for samples? sooo im thinkin of just orderin small stuff like a bunch of samples or bags,whatever i need in a short amount of time w/o havin to pay all the tax on ebay .YEAAAAH. also how do i get my director to leave me alone???

O. i probly could use that too for trading stuff i dont sell. is it like an even trade? how does that work and how long does it take to ship it? can u buy stuff here too?
