just me m'kay?
February 17, 2008 at 10:22 PM "there are more women on this planet with low self esteem than any other gender..."
um, yeah. for reals. i don't know why i can't get that quote out of my head. maybe it's because it just came across as the largest plea for attention known to the only other gender on the planet... ha.
it was almost as good as this one: "mary kay gives better training to it's consultants than anyone. and I'M educated. i have my master's, and my, my, my graduate, and my... associates, and i used to be a teacher... and none of it comes close to the training i've received as a mary kay consultant."
uh, huh.
so now i present to you my reasons that a mary kay facial is NOTHING like a real facial:
.: women yelling, "are you ready to PAW-TAY???" what is this, an aerosmith concert?
.: i still have all my clothes on
.: the flourescent lights are blaring
.: i'm sharing a table with 4 other women
.: there are 50 women in the room with me.
.:the cd player is blaring bon jovi instead of spa music (i have nothing against bon jovi, i just don't want him at my facial)
.: no one is rubbing my face. i'm rubbing unrecognizable goop in *upward and outward* strokes, using a COTTON ball. 4 out of 5 women on my table rub eye cream ALL over their faces, because they were confused.
.: there are no cucumbers on my eyes.
.: i receive a one hour lecture about all the products that we'll be using...i'm not allowed to talk to my friends during the lecture. again, if i had cucumbers on my eyes and someone else was rubbing my face... well, i don't really care what they're putting on!
.: 6 women (plus their henchwomen) are trying to convince me that i want their job, yelling about their gorgeous diamond rings that their husbands didn't have to buy them, while wearing purple jackets with flashy pins that show their ranking.
i can't say that i feel relaxed at this point. in fact i pretty much want to run away screaming!!! maybe i am just jealous. that's gotta be it.
in all honesty, i'm a mary kay girl through and through. apart from a very brief love affair with neutrogena, it's the only make up that i've ever used. my mom is a mary kay consultant, i have many friends that do it, i really do love their products. but do their facials really have to be so cult-ish?
amy (lexi's roommate), lexi (my soon to be SIL), and me: what a difference make up can make. ;-D notice the fact that i didn't take a picture of ME without makeup. it's my blog and i'll represent myself in only the most glorious of fashions. hahahaha.

I am a lurker and I did Mary Kay for a little while. It is a cult. A very scary, preying on stay at home moms, expensive cult. Be afraid, be very afraid and always say, "No, you can't buy me a cup of coffee and tell me about the business structure and how much money that I won't make!" Just my humble and still bitter opinion!
Totally agree with the Mary Kay. I got my first facial done (by myself) at age 12 and back then it was cool. Now- totally different story. If I want a "facial" aka my make up done, I will go to MAC instead. I hate how they try to sell you all their products (skin care AND make up) while the process is taking place. You ladies look lovely by the way!
i like my facials laying down in a dark room with the scent of relax swirling around me :)
but
i heart the cute pink headbands!! tee hee
holy hell. what a horrible thing!
I have not laughed this hard in a VERY long time :)
Thanks! Gahhh The Mary Kay facial... oh the memories. I absolutely abhorred the "I have sooooo much money now, I have this fancy schmancy new car, and this house, looooook at my house! I have such wonderful THINGS!!! NOW, sign up to see this make-up! DO IT NOW!!!! I suggest you take out a small loan to buy it all, then you can sell it..."
But, you look lovely my dear :)
ha, this made me laugh:) I think I'll ask my friends if there is anyone who hasn't had a MK facial. funny:)
