A close friend of mine has been in network marketing for Mary Kay (cosmetics) for 10 years. Her status is Independent Beauty Consultant, Senior Business Group Leader. I want to state how much of my observations that I have accumulated over these 10 years (I note that we have been friends for 25 years, since school). I will try to state only the facts. I will mark my comments as "from myself".

Lack of taste

The first thing I noticed about my friend was that she lost her "sense of taste" (they say "no taste", and first of all in make-up and wardrobe). Having gone through all kinds of make-up training, every morning she puts on herself a 100% "paint", completely seeing "what suits her" (in the sense of "to her face"). The main thing is that it should be in line with the "makeup trends of this season" and the rules for applying makeup: for example, shadows, at least three shades. And the presence at home of a warehouse of cosmetics of various colors and shades (for $ 6,000) tempts you to try everything for yourself.

From myself: personally, I (I'm 40 years old) see that with age it is necessary to apply as little makeup as possible so as not to emphasize wrinkles, especially in the eye area.

Bad taste in clothes. This is especially true of the corporate color, which changes every season. For example, this season the company announces the corporate color "crimson" (the colors are always bright), the fabric is also dictated by the company, the models may differ slightly, but must be chosen from those offered. Each adept must buy fabric from the company and sew (by himself or to order), of course, all for his own money. And so every year (or season - I did not go deep).

Crazy network house: trainings and seminars to "improve" moral and spiritual degradation

Even at the dawn of my work, a friend invited me to a presentation. In the hall of the cafe, (rented for the money of those invited), women gathered, about 20 people. In the beginning, everything was as usual: applause, introduction of newcomers, sincere joy for them, instructions that "you will succeed."

Then they announced a new product - a new lipstick (or a new shade of lipstick - I don’t remember). Got a tube. All contestants had to apply lipstick on their lips. After that, each woman had to stand up and tell how she felt after applying this lipstick? Women stood up one by one and spoke utter nonsense about extraordinary freshness, deep moisturizing, etc. And since there are 20 of them, it is not convenient to repeat, the fantasy is not limited.

From myself: personally, I can only say one thing about lipstick: either it suits me or it doesn't.

We are sitting with a friend in a cafe. She shares with me. I was at a seminar (I don’t remember the name, what is connected with a woman, her success, health, tone). Imagine, she says, it turns out that a woman needs to have at least three men for health (roughly speaking, three biological materials). Then she will be healthy both physically and psychologically, and therefore successful.

From myself: I thought: there was a normal woman, wife, mother. Now she believed that she was not living correctly (it would not have occurred to her before, but now she thought). The problem is, you need to find two more men somewhere, healthy, and probably to be liked.

After another seminar (about the same topic).

A friend says to me: you know, it turns out that a man during intimacy loves a woman to tell him "dirty words" about "it." I, she says, checked with my husband - it works. From so "wound up." And, he continues, at first I was offended that they called me a "bitch" at the same time. And now that I understand everything, I'm not offended - it's normal. Yes, I'm a bitch.

Seminar (something about how to properly understand people, their classification and character traits).

A friend calls me and says: she was at such a cool seminar. In general, you see, we are all gods! Do you know the gods from Greek mythology (Aphrodite, etc.)? So, you just need to determine the type, which god you belong to, i.e. what you are. To do this, you need to understand the nature of a person. There is a lot of information, I need to put everything on the shelves. Now I want to understand about you and me - what kind of gods we are.

I ask: "how much money did you pay for this horoscope?". A friend was offended (for a while).

stupidity

Relatively recently... My friend was pregnant with her second child. During pregnancy, she was admitted to the hospital for 2 weeks. When leaving the hospital, she says: while she was in the ward, she sold cosmetics for 5,000 rubles. This child is divine (points to his belly). Even in mommy's stomach he knows how to do business with her.

All this happened to my girlfriend (and continues to happen) under the "flag" of the network company Mary Kay.

I note that my friend graduated from the Pedagogical Institute with honors and was a quite popular speech pathologist-defectologist and, in my opinion, a sober and adequate person. What happened to her when she handed out to her colleagues all her manuals, techniques, materials and bought the first suitcase with Mary Kay cosmetics ( necessary condition) for 6000 rubles? For me it remains a mystery.

Mary Kay Network Company or Mary Kay(in honor of the founder Mary Kay Ash) is one of the most popular direct selling companies in Russia and the world. Founded in 1963 in the USA, Texas. The company's turnover for 2015 exceeded 2.9 billion dollars, and the number of distributors or, as they are called in Mary Kay - Independent Beauty Consultants amounted to 2.4 million people, and in Russia alone there are about 500 thousand of them. For 2016, Mary Kay operates in 35 countries, and in most of them it is a member of the Direct Selling Association, including Russia as Mary Kay CJSC.

Mary Kay Products

On the official website of Mary Kay at http://www.marykay.ru/ you can find almost all necessary information about the company's products. Including the Mary Kay catalog, and prices, and even the composition. Although it is presented in the form of "Main Ingredients" and it may well "miss" harmful components. Also on the official website of Mary Kay, you can buy products online, although the transaction is not processed through the company itself, but through one of the Independent Beauty Consultants that you are looking for in your city.

Reviews of Mary Kay products can be easily found on distributor websites and forums. As usual in the case of cosmetics, someone likes it, and someone does not like it. Someone considers it too expensive, and someone vice versa. Moreover, since Mary Kay is one of the most popular in Russia, there are as many negative reviews about its products as there are positive ones. Therefore, as in the case of Amway, it is better to try Mary Kay products for yourself. True, unlike Avon, Mary Kay cosmetics are from a more expensive category and are commensurate in price with. Therefore, now during the crisis, you don’t experiment much.

Cosmetics Mary Kay website website

By the way, a more or less average opinion and independent reviews of Mary Kay cosmetics can be found on this site. There's even something like a rating.

Mary Kay marketing plan

On the official Mary Kay website, in the "Become a Consultant" section, you can find the following: "The first step to starting to lead your own business with Mary Kay® - Purchase a Starter Kit. The Mary Kay® Starter Kit contains:

From February 1 to March 31, 2016, the cost of the starter kit is 1,500 rubles, subject to placing an order for at least 1 b.u. (base unit, price for consultants 39 $ or 2,800 rubles) according to the Mary Kay catalog.

You receive commissions depending on the volume of your sales. As I understand it, until you reach a turnover of 48.00 base units per calendar quarter, you can only buy Mary Kay products at consultant prices ($ 39 per 1.u.), and sell at retail prices ($ 65 per 1.u.)

According to official Mary Kay statistics, the average global rotation of consultants is estimated at 80%. Moreover, in developed countries it is much less than in Russia (in the US 68% per year, in Russia about 85%). That is, 85% of new Mary Kay consultants drop out within a year. In part, such a high rate is connected precisely with the tests, that is, a person becomes a consultant just to buy products at a discount. After testing Mary Kay products and realizing that they are no better or no worse than previous cosmetics, the client is looking for the holy grail further.

Hello! I have prepared for you again detailed overview by a company from the world of network marketing.

This time, Mary Kay, which is known to many women who prefer high-quality decorative and caring cosmetics, as well as luxurious perfumes, fell under the scope.

Let's try to understand its features.

The name Mary Kay was not chosen by chance - it is the name of the founder of the brand. In 1963, she decided to create a cosmetics company on the principles of giving women the opportunity to build their own beautiful business and gain independence.

Now the company's products are in demand in different countries. More than three million sales assistants collaborate with the cosmetics brand. The annual turnover exceeds three billion dollars.

The company's production facilities are located in Dallas (producing cosmetics for the US market) and in Hangzhou, China (manufacturing and packaging products for the Chinese market).

When entering the European market, it became necessary to organize production in Switzerland, but this plant did not last long. Therefore, now the main production is still concentrated in the United States.

Official website of the company www.marykay.ru.

What the company offers

Compared to other cosmetic brands, for example, which work on a network marketing system, Mary Kay's range is quite modest.

There are basic positions that hardly change from season to season. Sometimes they are updated with new items.

In addition to the regular line, there is also a limited series. It is released constantly, changing the composition of cosmetic products in it.

Note that the products from this series are limited and after a complete sale, they will never be repeated again.

Mary Kay offers luxurious men's and women's fragrances with rich and intense notes. Components for perfume choose only natural and high quality.


In addition, the brand offers caring cosmetics for the face, hands, feet, and body. The line of goods for make up deserves special attention. By the way, many professional makeup artists use them in their work.

Decorative cosmetics is presented:

  • ink
  • glitter and lipstick
  • foundation creams
  • rouge
  • loose and compact powder
  • concealer and highlighter
  • masking agents.

The Mary Kay line has everything you need to create flawless makeup for any occasion.

Business with Mary Kay

I can say that the business with Mary Kay looks quite promising.

  1. First, the products have high quality and is hypoallergenic. It is in demand in different countries of the world.
  2. Secondly, the company offers a good consultant discount (from 30% immediately after registration), an interesting marketing plan, various competitions for consultants that allow you to win numerous valuable gifts.

Given the high quality of products, it definitely will not be lost from the one who purchases it.
