Different Choices...

wow, was channel-surfing and found yet another celebrate that is endorsing yet another skin care product responsible for her beauty. I will not say that some of these products are or are not good products,I am sure many are. But most of the information provided and shared, I had learned while in Mary Kay. Not much new. Good skin is like a good recipe needs all the ingreidients and must be put together right and then "cooked" correctly. I watched the power of marketing and the audience. We must clenase, exfoliate, tone/freshnen/condition, moisturize/hydrate, and protect.. wow.... how exciting... NOT - nothing new some procedure as always!
"woo - ing" and "awh-ing" and just ready to buy. Now this company is not a multilevel company, so basically the marketing approach was to focus on their insecurities and play on the fact that they wanted to look like something else, they could order by calling ( or online) but of course the first so many callers insteadof paying full price of $199.95 - they could get it at half price... if they did something else even quicker they got even more free product....
guess what it sounded great.. it was a SPECIAL OFFER --- I could have gotten free stuff.... I was being "played" guess what? I used my free will and choose not to purchase it... so why, why is this any difference even if direct sales were used? so.. is there any diffence at all in way of marketing cosmetics - not as long as many of us woman want to look the best we can possible look especially as we tend to start aging.

FUN GAME TIME: Play Along with me

1. Cindy Crawford promoted by Valerie Bertinelli (hmm isn't JennyCraig paying her enough?) (still in business.)

2. Suzanne Sommers started her own. No long direct sales marketing but I believe ..........................still in busines.

HOW MANY OTHERS CAN YOU THINK OF THE USED CELBS TO PROMOTE THEIR PRODUCTS AND ARE THEY STILL IN BUSINESS?

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!

Summer Preview

What is there to look forward to in the Summer line? I already gave you the sneak peak of the Tropical Pineapple Gift Set but what else are we going to see? First we know that the new packaging on the Miracle Set is happening, we have now for quite awhile this is happening so we have had time to balance out our inventory so that we will not be overstocked with the previous white packaging but it is a great time to really focus on reducing your current inventories levels. Joining the new packaging are:

Mary Kay Tinted Lip Balm with an SPF 15. (Suggested retail $13.) It is going to be available in 5 different shades and that contain a dash of vanilla flavor. The shades: Apricot, Blush, Natural, and Poppy

Limited Edition products will include the prementioned Tropical Pineapple Gift Set
and the
Two Minute Look Collection (starting at $35 suggested retail) - provides a quick, simple look. It includes a mineral bronzing powder, a mascara, and a tinted lip balm. For a limited time, with the purchase of any of these regular line products, you will recived a cosmetic bag free.

For a limited time you will receive a free mini hand cream with the purchase of the Satin Hands Pampering Set.

And of course the Beauty That Counts Mary Kay Lipstick- Limited Edition Pink Passion Lipstick, the other lipstick included in the Beauty That Counts program is the regular line Gingerbread.

(and... ooooohhh some cool stuff to earn in the next Star Consultant Quarter!!)
Have a great day!

The Brush Set

Mary Kay® Brush Collection

This luxurious makeup brush set includes a Powder Brush, Cheek Brush, Eye Definer Brush, Eye Crease Brush and Eyeliner/Eyebrow Brush – all with sleek black wooden handles. The set also includes the Mary Kay® Cosmetic Organizer bag, so you can just roll up your makeup brush collection and go! It's even roomy enough to add your Mary Kay® Compact, lip gloss, mascara, other makeup applicators and more!

Use them. love them. Love the mineral foundation powder brush but agree we could use an eyeliner brush (thinner and stiffer then the one we have) and a full size lip brush since all we have is the little purse size one.
