Dragele mele prietene, fie ca aceasta zi sa va umple sufletul si inima de ganduri frumoase, de lumina, de soare, de bucurii, de impliniri, de fericire fara margini, de tot ce e mai frumos pe lume! Va doresc ca in aceasta zi (si numai) sa fiti coplesite de flori, de cadouri, de multa dragoste de mult rasfat! Sa fiti alintate si rasfatate, iubite si adorate, fericite si implinite.

Mary Kay

Va spuneam mai inainte ca am devenit de curand consultant de frumusete May Kay, si saptamana trecuta am primit acel colet de inscriere, care mi-a fost adus acasa de directoarea de vanzari in reteaua careia am intrat.

Coletul era mai mare decat ma asteptam – ditamai cutia. Cand am desfacut pachetul sa-i studiez continutul, m-am simtit coplesita. Kitul e atat de numeros, incat mi-a luat ceva timp sa ma lamuresc cu fiecare produs in parte pe care il continea. Am scos toate produsele si materialele promotionale din cutie, le-am rasfoit si studiat un pic, dar pret de cateva clipe am avut tendinta sa le pun pe toate la loc cum erau si sa lipesc cutia la loc, atat de coplesitoare erau!

Dupa aia m-am gandit sa o iau mai metodic in a ma lamuri cu toate aceste produse. Pe site-ul Mary Kay se poate vedea descrierea kitului de incepatori pentru cei care devin noi consultanti de frumusete; mi-am printat acea lista a produselor din kit, si am inceput sa le bifez pe lista, unul cate unul, contra produselor din colet.

Kitul starter Mary Kay contine urmatoarele produse:

TimeWise (TW) Trial Miracle Set Normal to Dry Skin, in valoare de $68 – un set de 4 produse de ingrijire pentru ten normal spre uscat, si anume:
***TW 3-in-1 Cleanser,
***TW Age Fighting Moisturizer,
***TW Day Solution Sunscreen SPF 25,
***TW Night Solution;

TimeWise Trial Miracle Set Combination to Oily Skin, $68 – varianta pentru ten normal spre gras al setului de mai sus, aceleasi 4 produse;

Oil-Free Make-up Remover, $17.50;

Ultimate Mascara (black), $21;

Fragrance-Free Satin Hands Pampering Set, $51 – un set de 3 produse pentru maini ambalate intr-o punguta green, si anume:
***Hand softener,
***Hand scrub,
***Hand cream;

3 fonduri de ten TimeWise Luminous Wear Liquid Foundation, $23 fiecare, in nuantele ivory, beige si bronze;

3 fonduri de ten TimeWise Matte-Wear Liquid Foundation, $23 fiecare, in aceleasi nuante ivory, beige si bronze;

Baza de fond de ten (gel) Foundation Primer, $20;

3 pudre Mineral Powder Foundation, $20 fiecare, in aceleasi nuante ivory, beige si bronze;

6 pensule pentru fond de ten, Liquid Foundation Brush, $14 fiecare;

6 pensule pentru pudra, Mineral Foundation Brush, $12 fiecare.

Am mai primit doua produse cadou, urmare a faptului ca m-am inscris in reteaua Mary Kay in decursul lunii februarie:

TimeWise Replenishing Serum +C, $60;

TimeWise Moisture Renewing Gel Mask, $26.

Kitul meu mai contine o serie intreaga de accesorii si aplicatii cosmetice, pe care reprezentantii Mary Kay le folosesc in timpul acelor sedinte de frumusete, cum ar fi:
***Un set de 20 aplicatii de nuante de machiaj, Color Card, folosite pentru gasirea nuantelor de machiaj potrivite fiecarui tip de ten, pentru fiecare persoana in parte;
***Aplicatia Foundation Finder Tool, care ajuta la gasirea nuantei potrivite de fond de ten pentru fiecare persoana in parte;
***Un set de aplicatoare pentru fard de ochi (30 bucati), care de altfel sunt foarte bune – am folosit un aplicator din acesta la acea sedinta de frumusete Mary Kay la care am fost luna trecuta, si mi-a placut foarte mult cum intindea fardul pe pleoape;
***Un set de periute de unica folosinta pentru rimel (15 bucati);
***6 oglinzi duble (cu oglinda normala si oglinda magnificatoare) cu suport, ambalate individual in gentute de protectie;
***Un set de servetele pentru fata de unica folosinta, wash cloths (30 bucati);

In afara de cosmetice si accesorii, coletul mai contine si o gramada de materiale promotionale, brosuri si “literatura”, cum ar fi:
***21 cataloage Mary Kay pentru sezonul curent;
***Numarul curent al revistei companiei, Applause;
***Chitantier;
***Customer Profile, un formular care ajuta la identificarea nevoilor tenului pentru fiecare client in parte;
***Cartea-autobiografie a lui Mary Kay Ash, fondatoarea companiei, Miracles Happen;
***Diverse ghiduri cosmetice.

Si bineinteles, o geanta Mary Kay, care arata ca un suitcase, si care este conceputa in asa fel incat sa incapa in ea toate produsele descrise mai sus.

Acum citesc si rasfoiesc toate acele brosuri si materiale promotionale; m-am apucat sa citesc si cartea-autobiografie scrisa de Mary Kay Ash, e destul de interesanta. Inca nu m-am decis daca vreau sa devin un consultant Mary Kay activ, adica sa incep sa vand produse Mary Kay si sa fac un business din asta; sau doar sa folosesc aceste produse pentru mine si sa raman inscrisa in retea doar pentru propriul meu beneficiu. Voi vedea pe parcurs cum stau lucrurile, in masura in care voi avea timp sa ma ocup de produsele Mary Kay intr-un mod mai serios.
