Mary Kay Cosmetics - Everything you want to know but are afraid to ask.

'If Mary Kay Cosmetics has such wonderful products then how come so few young fashion conscious women are willing to buy them from me?'

I've always thought that the answer lies in the fact that I am a 36 year old man making a brave attempt to sell cosmetics and skin care products and the unique business opportunity that Mary Kay Cosmetics provides to women.

I first joined Mary Kay Cosmetics in the winter of 2002 after walking the Mary Kay booth which is a regular fixture at the Vancouver Pacific National Exibition every single year.
I knew a lot about Mary Kay Ash and the company that she founded on 'lucky' Friday, Sept 13th, 1963.
While I had read the book, Miracles Happen by Mary Kay Ash, in my grade 11 high school marketing class, I had always proscratinated in joining the company perhaps due to the stigmas associated with men who sell cosmetics.

There are so many misconceptions about Mary Kay Cosmetics today and I often wonder who spreads these nasty rumours which can be disproven with one visit to the Mary Kay Cosmetics homepage.

-is based on the 'golden rule' which is to "do unto others as you'd have them do unto you."

Even with the many many more ethical accolaids and awards that Mary Kay Cosmetics has earned over the years, including the U.N.
