Stacey ** is amazing at making everyone feel beautiful! My daughter and I did a makeover. It is was so much fun! She has also taught my daughter about natural look for her pageants as well. I appreciate her knowledge and friendship!

I am a consultant with Mary Kay, and I placed an order that met the minimum requirements to get the 50% off discount. The order I place subsequent to that did not receive the discount, which is common, but I did not notice until after I placed the order. Customer service would not refund what they owed me as the difference, but instead required me to place another order, with products I did not need, using the credit. This was absolutely unacceptable. The customer service representative also did not care that I was displeased.

    If you have sensitive skin, I personally do not recommend this makeup. My experience was that I was getting old makeup and not new "fresh" makeup. I am older but had red spots all over my face, hands and arms. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days with 2 antibiotics and steroids. I can't say I do NOT like Mary Kay, but I never had an issue with my face until I used Mary Kay.

    You need to reconsider your packaging for environmental reasons. I received 2 tiny plastic tubes of gel blush (that I love). BUT it came in a box 10 inches x 7 inches and a 4 inch height with a million noodles. Could have been sent in a small envelope with 2 stamps. Had trouble finding the product in all that packaging.

    Love their products!! My face looks and feels amazing, I am 46 years old and people think I am no older than 38. I am loving it. Best customer service, my consultant is always amazing at working her small business. Never have a problem. If I do not like something, I have never had an issue with returning it.

    Horrible experience. They could care less. Tried to cancel 7 different ways. Called corporate. Buyer beware. They add products to cart and overcharge. If you order products you don't receive them. Run run run.

    I ordered Mary Kay on August 23, 2021 for a September 17th wedding. The order was processed by Consultant August 28th and money removed from account August 30th. It is now October 6th with no products and no refund. I spoke with my Consultant several times, emailed Mary Kay with no reply and spoke to 2 Representatives. The Representatives won't issue me a refund because "that is the Consultant's responsibility". I have not received my order after several inquiries, emails and calls. This is the second time I had to pester Mary Kay for my order. So 43 days, $150 out and still no product or refunds. You can bet your ** I'm taking my business elsewhere.

    I purchased this product about four weeks ago. I used it twice that week and on the second day I noticed white spots around my lips my cheek and my jaw. It has been four weeks and no improvement. I have gone to doctors, dermatologists etc. No luck my face has been discolored for almost a month and no improvement. Now it started to itch and burn with any moisturizer.

    From the start I should have known creams that felt very heavy were not a good idea!! During my facial the consultant seen that my face was broken out and red, but she continued to say to me my skin needs to adjust to it, I believed her, I bought the Timewise set. I was very excited to try something new! So Day 1 redness burning-day 2 redness burning rash, day 3 burning burning I burning!! I sent my consultant a text. I was ignored for about 4 days.

    I finally text her again and said, "Please I would like a return. My skin on fire." She replied, "I'm sorry I've been busy." Hmm ... but I felt she didn't give two dams about my skin, days went by and now I'm being ignored for my refund?!?! At this point I'm over. I told her, "I do not want anything from Mary Kay. I want full refund!" I feel if I was taking into consideration I would have handled it better! Now I'm irritated and tell my friends don't buy from MK. Seems they are too much into themselves and that pink Cadillac!

    I have been using this product line 3 months. I also purchased the timewise foundation to get the full affect of the regimen. I have never been more satisfied with any product. It was a process of self discipline using it on a strict routine but I would recommend it to anyone with any kind of skin problems. It's did miracles to my rosacea!
