No Make Up

January 19th, 2007 at 04:32 pm

yeah right! She showed up with lots of makeup on and proceeded to set in front of me cotton balls, mascara wand, makeup sponge, and cloth. When she held a color chart up to my face to see what color it was I reminded her that I don't wear makeup. She said I know and proceeded to tell me what color foundation I would wear. I said, foundation is makeup and I don't wear makeup. I said it very mildly and politely. She said but that's what I do! I looked at her and said, "I warned you on the phone I don't wear makeup and you told me you mainly did skin care. I have dry skin and that is why I let you come over." She said (again), "Then you don't want to do all the makeup?" I said, "No what do you have for dry skin?" She showed me a multi step process that made my face feel like a tight drum skin (yuck) and I asked how much the moisterizer was. She told me they had a great tinted one. I had the feeling at that point that I had lapsed into Greek or some other language. I looked at her and she was serious. I repeated the no makeup thing and she finally looked up the price of the stuff. It was $22.00!!!!!! I
said , "So with the $15.00 you told me I had that makes it $7.00?" She told me the $15.00 wasn't for makeup. I told her there was no way I could justify paying $22.00 for a moisturizer. Thinking, I can get better cheaper, alot cheaper. She said thank you and went to her car for my gift cards. I got 3 $5.00 gift cards for the bagel place. Not bad for a few minutes of frustration. I was honest with her but maybe she didn't understand that no makeup meant none?

    Wow, that's really interesting. I wonder if they tell everyone they won the $15 makeover, then say the $15 just goes towards the 'consultation' and just try to get you to buy a lot of product.

    well, at least you got the gift cards Smile

    Ha! I told ya, but at least it wasn't $100. You were very nice and patient! A little time for $15 in gift cards is not bad! :-)

    LOL.

    Oh man, Marykay is BIG over here, they annoy me to no end. I don't do makeup or skin care. Some of them have been pretty nasty to me - what a way to get customers... I think overall anyone that into makeup can't understand why anyone would be so against it.

    Considering I get compliments on my skin all the time I just don't see the point. That stuff will cost you an arm and a leg! Wink Oh I REALLY sympathize with you. IT would be just my luck to win something like that too.

    i feel your pain! my sister 'won' a mary kay whatchamathingy when she was getting married the first time: makeovers for all the bridesmaids. sounds good in theory, but i'm allergic to certain ingredients and the lady didn't have an ingredient list for the samples she brought. 5 mintues in my face was burning and i was running for the bathroom! i won't ever consider MK now b/c they don't make their ingredients easy to find: at least Avon has them online... blech!

    but hey, at least you got the coupons!

    I actually like a couple of Mary Kay products but I sure do hate parties and consultants. I know they do it for their job and often times a main one since they don’t have other jobs so they have to work hard at getting clients. I do support the consultants working in order to stay home with their children so I do not mind buying a couple products from them once in awhile. Not many jobs allow that for women.

    Lucky I can just order the two items from a friend of a friend without going straight to a consultant.
