Hey there,
I've just had a free make over done by these and was really impressed with their products. Looking at MAYBE becoming a distributor what are peoples impressions or opinions on Mary Kay things or experiences they've had? Thanks.  ------------- http://tickers.cafemom.com">

Yep what Bizzy said. They are very pushy with having parties and joining up etc ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| I also found them super pushy - just couldn't get rid of the woman. I must admit, I loved some of their products - but I can't handle feeling pushed into things (and I'm a complete sucker who can't say no!). |

| I had a mary kay lady come to my house and do makeup etc to find stuff that matches my skin tone.. I found her GREAT! No pressure at all and was really supportive when I said I was on a budget cos we'd just bought our first home... |

Great products but I boycott them cause they are SOO pushy!! A friend of mine decided to become a distributor but before signing up, she held a Mary Kay party at her place where the lady came and gave us all make-overs. We were all impressed with the products and I ended up buying quite a bit. It all had to be ordered so of course I had to provide my contact details..... took almost 2yrs for the woman to get the hint that I DIDN'T want to become a distributor OR hold a party! She would ring me at least once a week, send me letters etc. I'd answered her calls twice to tell her to take me off her list but after that I just started ignoring her calls. But the contact kept up, she even turned up at my house one day with a pack saying I could have it free of charge if I signed up!! ( I didn't take it) OMG! Drove me insane. As good as the products are, their pushiness has put me off big time! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. -------------

I had a Mary Kay lady do my makeup for my wedding and she wasn't pushy at all.
I think it depends on the person as there can be pushy people in all things ie tupperware, avon, lingerie parties....they are all commission based sales. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Man I haven't heard from the Mary Kay lady I bought off since I got the products, she rung up about a week after I got the stuff to check I was happy and that it was all honkey-dorey and that was it!! |
