Not Your Mama's Mary Kay

I don't know about you, but I remember pink Mary Kay bottles of an assortment of potions and lotions around my house when I was growing up.  Between foam washes, toners, foundations, and the occasional eye shadow palette, I had a great time playing dress-up.  I also remember my Mom painting on brick red lipstick and after 2 or 3 hours of singing in the church choir on Sunday morning, the quality of her make-up showed its true colors.  That was like 1985 and Girlfriends, the product was good then but it's phenomenal now!

Mary Kay is one of the leading skin care companies and women all over the world continue to change their lives and net worth by becoming independent beauty consultants.  Not to mention, they love their jobs (and are able to quit working for someone else).  How's that for living?  Beauty, financial security, and the ability to  inspire other women every day to do the same.

Independent Beauty Consultant, Sylvia Fierro, will be on site at the Open House on October 2nd at Spirit Square.  Stocked with the products you love and new goodies, too, you will have a chance to purchase all your favorite beauty effects and learn about Mary Kay's new products.  Come early (by 2:30) and receive a personal consultation with Sylvia.
