Beauty Products that I Recommend

Over my lifetime I have worn beauty products, and I have sold beauty products. For about a year and a half, I was a Mary Kay Sales Consultant, a part of my life that I was beginning to forget about, until recently when I see that more women are falling into the Mary Kay Sales Consultant trap.
Before I sold Mary Kay, I was a rebllious teenager who loved to wear make-up and stand out from the crowd. I was different and I knew it and I did not care if anyone else knew it, that is who I am and there is nothing wrong with that. I was in theater, I sang, I danced, and was an actress. I had to wear a lot of make-up and I had to wear a lot of products that took care of my skin. I was introduced to Mary Kay at the age of fifteen at a Mary Kay Sales Party. My mother's friend and boss was an MK Sales Consultant.
Mary Kay promises that women, and some men, can earn a nice life by selling Mary Kay through the motto "God first, Family second, and Career third, truth is, that is not always the case. In fact, that can be far from the case.
At the Mary Kay meetings, it was more like career first, God second, and family third. The Mary Kay meetings were more about sales and how to sell to people than whether or not the products were great and worth selling. Another problem about Mary Kay was mixing God with business and they did not like to change or improve upon already existing products. Some of the products Mary Kay had been around for a long time, but no one seemed to question if they had still worked or if they were still good, or if the methods that were used for making them were still up-to-date in testing the products? Any scientist knows that things change over time, and if Mary Kay was or is really using Dermotologist to test their products, those scientist should know that those products are not always going to be effective over the years.
When I was selling Mary Kay at my college; there were ten other ladies who were also selling Mary Kay at my college. I had a lot of competition, but competition was not the worst of my problems, most students at my college thought that Mary Kay was for old women and women who where Christians. I wanted to get around those myths, but the more I attempted to disspell those myths, the more that I found out that there was a lot of truth to those myths.
At the Mary Kay meetings, I was always the youngest person in the group selling the products. That was a very big problem for me because older people do not always want to buy things from younger people. Older people believe that they know more than younger people. A younger person could not tell an older person things that they already knew.
It was no different in my own city. In my city, everywhere I went there were women who were selling Mary Kay, and they would get to a sale or get to other women before I could get there, so I did not make a sale.
I wore Mary Kay a lot as well, but it never did much for my looks or my skin. I only masked the acne and scars that I had, but I never got rid of that acne. Mary Kay is a skin company, but their skin products were not working on my skin. I felt like a liar selling a product that did not work for me.
I finally left Mary Kay and began using other skin care and beauty products, so far Proactive and Bare Minerals have been working for my face and skin. I do not feel like a liar saying that. Mary Kay claims that they have the best skin care products in the world, but that is not true, there are other skin care products and beauty products that are just as good or better than Mary Kay. I am not against Mary Kay's Beauty and Skin Care Products, but I am saying that their products did not work for me. For me to endorse a product that did not work for me was very hypocritical of me to do, and I admit it and I am sorry to those I have lied to, but that is business is it not? Business means selling your soul no matter what, and even though people get hurt in the process, you sell and you sell.
Well, I will not sell my soul anymore. I am using Proactive for my acne and it is working on my skin. I use Bare Minerals make-up for my face to highlight my features. I am not the most beautiful woman on the planet, in fact I do not think that I am beautiful at all, and I admit that, but I do try my best to look as nice as possible for the people I love and spend time with.
When I sold Mary Kay; I had just turned 19 and I was naive and I fell for anything that I thought would work for me and would help me, I also fell for anything that my mother's friends were endorsing. My mother's friends were the one's who introduced me to Mary Kay and I thought that they were great at first, but then I finally woke up and saw that it was not for me.
When buying or selling beauty products, any products, be sure those products work and that you love them. Do not sell a product because people say they are a good product, use the product for yourself and then make the decision for yourself. If I had known then, what I know now, things may have been a lot different for me. Part of life is making mistakes and learning from them. Beauty and skin care products helped me learn that lesson.
