The new Mary Kay?

You're Kidding Right... The new Mary Kay?

First we had this,

Then we had this,

Now we have this...

You too can become a Diva!

The former Intuit Beauty (whose logo looked a little too much like Fusion Beauty for my taste) is now the Beauty Society, where you too can host a facial "party" and guilt your friends into buying new products.

I believe these companies turn their distributors into "That Girl."
"That Girl," who is always on a new get rich quick scheme.
"That Girl," who is finds a way to 'invite' me to something then make me feel obligated to go
"That Girl" who expects me to support (by buying into) her latest endeavor.

Wait a moment, perhaps women who are already "That Girl" are drawn to the position for its flexibility, or lack or daily responsibilities.

Here is one of my favorite brands that has just gone the route of the independent beauty consultant.

I suppose they have created a sweet gig. These companies have women pay start up fees to get a "kit." These women then go cavorting about town doing all of their advertising and marketing for them. It is a very low cost way for a business to function. I find it interesting that the company Rodan and Fields has devolved from a department store setting to an independent consultant method. I used to use their products when they were available at Nordstrom, but now they are avaiable only online or if you know someone who distributes the products.

Since when does everyone know an independent beauty distributor?

Since when is someone's make up gal a "beauty consultant" instead of a makeup artist at a boutique or department store?

Maybe I am just jealous because even as the Go to Girl I would have to go through someone to get what I need. (which is just preposterous, don't you think?)

Thanks, and let me know what you think,

or if know anyone who sells Rodan and Fields. *wink*
