I've lived here for about 15 years, and you learn to sniff them out pretty quick. They tend to have a certain look and personality, and honestly, they are often not the kind of people that most people would want to be friends with anyway
It's so annoying because I'll be like, oh, you're starting a business? I wanna support you! Then you realize it's Scentsy or Mary Kay or Pampered Chef or LulaRoe or Ozempic or DoTerra or Kangen Water or Amway or.... And there are so many at farmer's markets with stalls. I don't think I've ever had someone tell me about a business they're starting that's an actual business. I'm a brick and mortar girl now. Gotta be able to walk into their store.
@@kilendil The only time I have had somebody tell me about an actual business they were becoming owner of, they were one of my best friends! (A salon they bought from the previous owner.)
Love when a tiny man runs in my room and goes “aaa!” Love that guy. My cat needs to be in the same room as me 95% of the time because he is perfect and very silly. He’s loafing on the radiator :)
They don't make them, they pay the membership to be a part of Hannah's community and get access to her custom cat emojis. You can get them by becoming a member. @@kirstenegultian7556
Watching this 7 months later and you said you're coming up on 100k subs but don't think you'll make that goal in 2023. I'm looking now and you have 397k. Thank you for all you do for the movement!
It’s amazing how you thought you wouldn’t make that goal but you’ve almost tripled the 100,000 you mentioned and you totally deserve it which is why you HAVE done so well in such a short period of time! Congrats!!!! 🙂❤️🥰
Zeke is hilarious. He has a cute "chirping" meow. My cat Elvis meows like the sky is falling and I have to stop what I'm doing to go "nap" with him...but I love him like crazy.
Oh my God Hannah you say at the start of this video that you’re creeping towards 100k followed and now we’re almost May and you’re nearly at 300k?! That’s incredible growth, congratulations! I binge your videos when in my free time and I also use them to fall asleep, please make a podcast!!! 😂❤ I love your content so much.
The bridal spa day horror story is so awful, I can't believe these reps were so delusional as to expect anyone to want to join them after being treated like crap like that.
It took me 50 years to develop a backbone, and frankly I am enjoying it. I have said NO and walked away so many times. I always start out nice, and give people the benefit of the doubt, but now I have no problem turning into a full fledged Karen if necessary.
Hannah, I am right there with you about seeking out male approval for makeup! Why is that the ultimate goal? Men aren’t the main characters of reality. I’ve been told throughout my life that men don’t like bright nail colors, as if I’m putting snowmen on my nails so some random Conner will wolf whistle at me at the grocery store 🙄
We're always told "Men this, men that"... Listen people: women don't exist for men. Period. If a man doesn't like my haircut, I don't give a sh*t. "You will please to men" is one of the worst sentences ever. Your first goal in making yourself look good is to please you. It's your body. You're the first one that has to find it beautiful.
Hey Hanna, I’m so so sooo happy for you and the explosion of this channel. Just three months ago you were creeping at the 100k subscribers and look at the numbers today!!! More than double! You totally smashed it girl! I’m so proud of you! Keep up the good work! 🎉🎉🎉
I thought the exact same thing that the makeup was used, old, and improperly sanitized between parties. They often use "samples" but they'll often portion out these themselves using the same crusty old makeup for years, not washing their hands before handling it and on and on. My cousin was in Mary Kay and I've seen and heard some things haha
The Mary Kay Story was so frustrating. The manipulation was on a different level. Lying to them about winning a raffle in hopes that a large bridal party would equal lots of sales. Also tricking them into being a part of a business presentation by telling them they just happen to have a team meeting before the facial. And it’s not even a real facial experience. Super shady.
I worked for Goodlife fitness for about a year and they do the exact same thing they put out drawer boxes for a one week membership to the gym. It’s just a way to get peoples numbers everybody wins. And then when they’re giving you a tour they put you on the spot and ask you for the names of five people that you would also like to give a one week pass to how familiar is this?
I never fell into any MLM's because I don't know any people who could afford their crap. But, I've been ghosted by friends when I wouldn't buy from them or sign up to be a consultant.
This whole time I’ve been vaguely hearing of these it works ‘wraps’ & I just assumed it was some type of diet food wrap. Like the type of wrap you get at subway. This video just taught me it’s an actual WRAP 😭😭 there is NO way that thing actually works. The before and after pictures I just looked at are insane.
I have been suckered into Mary Kay parties multiple times. I do not have sensitive skin but EVERY TIME I used the products at the parties my skin would be covered oil and red with in an hour after applying them. The very last time I went to a friends party I told the rep that it always affected my skin. The lady assured me she had better products for me and of course it happened again. I use skincare and makeup every day and that doesn’t happen with any other products.
That Mary Kay story where the poor girl got a rash around her eyes reminds me of my friend's step-sister. Her step-sister is older by a couple of years and is a huge anti-MLM advocate due to a terrible experience in her teenage years. Turns out she "won" a Mary Kay facial and got herpes from one of the products. Now, like she always says, herpes is incredibly common and she may have gotten it from sex or even kissing eventually, but getting it from makeup during an already uncomfortable experience at the young age of 14 was just incredibly traumatic. Nowadays she's a makeup artist and offers discounts to people who have had bad experiences with MLM makeup and she has an increasingly large clientele made up largely of ex-MLM huns and people who were screwed over by MLM products.
that whole experience reminded me of the time I got a makeover at a Merle Norman (it was a gift from my grandmother)! They're not an MLM but the experience itself reminds me of mine and completely turned me off of that company, to the point that I've always associated it with the likes of Mary Kay in terms of product quality and style. The lady completely caked my face, used the most egregious blue eyeshadow, bright pink blush, and didn't even use any setting powder so the foundation and blush just... sat on my face and was like an oil slick. I was like, 14 years old, and I looked like a circus clown. I hate using that phrase to describe other people's makeup because makeup is self expression and I don't judge people's self expression but like.. I looked horrific. I immediately went home and washed it off, and my skin also burned so much, not to the extent of being visible, but I have very dry skin and too much makeup definitely irritates it, even now. She even noticed that, because she zapped me with a gadget and told me my skin was very dry but she did nothing to soothe it or prime it before going to town. I also was fat, so I definitely relate to the experience of being pressured to "look pretty". And herpes is no joke. I've struggled with oral herpes since I was a child, presumably because of my mother, and that also really added to the pressure of facial beauty (not to mention the rampant stigma, as well as the fact that it's just plain awful to deal with an outbreak). I'm so glad that your friend's step-sister is able to provide those services, that's really great and I'm happy for her!
Hunbot: " You are so beautiful, you should be a model!!! Also, tell me about all your body insecurities." Unsuspecting target:" Well, I haven't lost all the baby weight yet." Hunbot: "OMG, gross! My unproven and probably useless wraps will take that weight off. I can sell them to you for a lower markup than normal!"
Yeah! And it goes from "you will be paid" to "buy my stuff to do so".. I wouldn't be surprised if the "pay" was actually the tiny promotion the hun gave to OP to buy the initially unwanted crap
I had joined MK in the past. When I hear that there are reps that have no makeup artistry experience. I was a makeup artist for Bobby brown. I love makeup. I am ashamed that reps are not trained in hygiene and flattering looks
Can’t believe you’re not up to 100k subscribers yet!! You’re incredible. I just started following you a few weeks ago and I think I binge watched half of your videos so far. It’s so addicting and I’m obsessed!! You’re so calming. I’m due in about two weeks and these videos have helped me during all the pain of the last trimester so thank you!!
I FINALLY left Color Street after being a “stylist” (aka salesperson) for 2+ years. Made next no money (had one good pay of $600 which I probably spent more than my share of money on to make-ugh!- but now I’m FREE of the stress of trying to sell it and hauling my crap to vendor events to try and sell it. Thanks for making me see that you don’t make any REAL money unless you’re at the top of the pyramid! Love watching your videos and hearing others’ stories. Keep it coming!
Usually MK does the “free facial” makeup with little tester cards that have a little bit of powder on them like a sample card. I was tricked into one of these as well and then was naive enough at the time to getting suckered into signing up. But they taught me to apply eyeshadow with the little foam applicators and then blend with a cotton swab!!! 😂 She legit told me to carry a cotton swab everywhere for blending and touch ups. I wish I had a photo of that makeup look. I had berry lipstick chosen for me which does NOT work on me and never has. They said it was beautiful and I could definitely pull off berry lol.
We got talked into an online opportunity 2x. we were doing a fundraiser for a small town church. Pampered Chef. 3 things sold. We got 7 dollars and Tupperware. The lady sold nothing but did donate Tupperware to the churches quarter auction. That cost her and helped us.
Story 2. Thanks to your contributor for filling in more detail to the Vemma story. The more I learn about BK Boreyko (the unnamed CEO in the story) and Vemma, the more I am convinced that the FTC goes after MLMs SELECTIVELY, focusing on companies that openly thumb their nose at the feds, as Boreyko did. The same goes for Jay Noland and Success By Health. The lesson for the rest of the industry is to avoid pissing off the FTC and everything will be fine. That's a shame.
Love these stories and your voice is so soothing! I think your voice is the first thing that got me hooked to your channel. It's a breath of fresh air amidst the sea of overstimulating, super high energy, fast-talking, annoying youtubers. Also, I can't tell whether the meows are from Zeke or one of my cats. Hehe
My colleague was in an MLM (FM World in the UK) and her social media was ridiculous, she would say she worked from home, could have days out with her son, all this stuff… but in reality she worked with me at a supermarket!
Also, when I was younger, I was on holiday in Florida. I was offered a goody bag of makeup by a girl, the brand was Mary Kay, I hadn’t ever heard of the brand, being from the UK. My sister and I were invited to a ‘fun’ event later that night, we didn’t go as we were on holiday, we’d be out in Disney World or something, but it was definitely going to be something like story 3 😅
The wraps 8:10 are no different from preparation H and saran wrap. Some service members use it to pass tape when they are a bit bloated. Sleep in it overnight, don't shower in the morning and the preparation H dehydrates the cells and it can refuse your waist by up 2 inches. It worked for me to pass tape at MEPS lol
I watched a documentary about a guy drinking breast milk for like 20 years or something to keep his cancer at bay, like it's still there but keeps it from progressing or something. So strange.
The wrap sounds like what people use post-partum, especially in China. They must've used the idea that people post-partum see results and just assumed people would think it's fat and not just your body's natural readjustment to not having another human inside of you.
One of my high school friends set up one of those Mary Kay "spa nights" for our friend group the night of senior prom as an alternative for getting our makeup done for the dance. This was 20yrs ago so I don't remember much other than the fact that we were the ones putting the makeup on ourselves copying the middle-aged woman leading the group. It looked bland at best and we probably ended up changing it at home before going to the prom. Of course none of us bought anything because we were teens with no money 😂
I loved you before and now I love you even more ❣️ Totally agree with the make up thing. I think it's even worse when it comes from another woman 🫥 Keep fighting the good fight and happy holidays to your whole family! ❄️⛄️
Chances are really good that it was used because they even said that the mascara must’ve been old because it was clumpy if they were doing these presentations every day and using fresh makeup there’s no way that it could get old and clumpy. Even at places that allow you to try on the make up, they sanitize it every time and then you’re given special applicators so that you’re never using the same mascara wand someone else did.
I was invited just recently to a big small business sale. I love to support small businesses so I went. It turned out to be a Mary Kay Christmas give-a-way. I was so upset because I wasted my time and gas. Really made me mad
When you were talking about how everyone wins a makeover, I was imagining them handing them out like Oprah. You get a makeover! You get a makeover! Except Oprah gives out good things. Also, I would’ve chucked that dry mascara in the trash can on my way out to the car. I would’ve been so over it. I hate how we feel we have to spare people’s feelings when they can’t respect our boundaries or even us as people. Society does not do us favors by teaching us to be good little girls. It’s one of the reasons so many of us need therapy (speaking from experience).
Question on the last story. Would canceling the card, reporting it as lost, reporting that the charge was fraudulent will solve the issue? Asking because I honestly don't know
When I worked at a clothing store when I was 18 another girl (completely different look than me) and myself were approached by a lady saying she would love to give us a makeover and use our photos in her portfolio for her business. I don’t remember if she mentioned MK or not. The girl and I thankfully drove together to this address that yes happened to be a conference room/team meeting. Same situation. It was the most awkward hour or two of our lives. Not sure how that approach would ever convince anyone to join. The whole bait and switch was a total turn off
The over made up looks that Mary Kay consultants are taught to push is clearly intended to consume as many products as possible. My husband (then fiance) always hated the looks my aunt and her upline put on me. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, and he said they made me look like Kewpie doll.
Lularoe did fundraiser matching for approved causes. It was something like 10% from the company when the consultants would usually give all their profits.
my ex-boss is the quality control manager at a makeup and supplement company in Florida. She tried to get me to work in the quality control department as well. when I researched the company I found out they are a European MLM that's been around since 2001 or so. They pay her well and she has no affiliation with the sales side. I declined based on them being an MLM but told her it was because of the commute.
I had this EXACT same thing happen when I shopped for my dress. I had no idea Mary Kay was an MLM or what one was, so when I “won” the spa night I was so excited! I was so embarrassed when I took all of my sister in laws to be into this horrible situation that played out EXACTLY like this story. On of my sisters even got roped into joining “for the discount!”
hold on- you’re at almost 100k?! I haven’t been paying attention!! last i looked it said 62k 😭 that is amazing! congrats 🎉 you DO be fighting the good fight

The “apply with a heavy hand” is a marketing strategy too. The sooner you use up a product, the sooner you have to order more
Everyone needs to stop apologizing for the long stories because we need the deets! Doing all of us a service truly 😂❤

My sister and I were invited to a ‘fun’ event later that night, we didn’t go as we were on holiday, we’d be out in Disney World or something, but it was definitely going to be something like story 3 😅
The wraps 8:10 are no different from preparation H and saran wrap. Some service members use it to pass tape when they are a bit bloated. Sleep in it overnight, don't shower in the morning and the preparation H dehydrates the cells and it can refuse your waist by up 2 inches. It worked for me to pass tape at MEPS lol
I feel that’s a bait and switch. Which I thought was not legal? I don’t know, but a Mary Kay party is NOT a spa day. 🤦🏻♀️
I watched a documentary about a guy drinking breast milk for like 20 years or something to keep his cancer at bay, like it's still there but keeps it from progressing or something. So strange.
My favorite of your videos ❤
32:28 Awwwwful
The wrap sounds like what people use post-partum, especially in China. They must've used the idea that people post-partum see results and just assumed people would think it's fat and not just your body's natural readjustment to not having another human inside of you.
Love your channel!
One of my high school friends set up one of those Mary Kay "spa nights" for our friend group the night of senior prom as an alternative for getting our makeup done for the dance. This was 20yrs ago so I don't remember much other than the fact that we were the ones putting the makeup on ourselves copying the middle-aged woman leading the group. It looked bland at best and we probably ended up changing it at home before going to the prom. Of course none of us bought anything because we were teens with no money 😂
Same!!!
I loved you before and now I love you even more ❣️ Totally agree with the make up thing. I think it's even worse when it comes from another woman 🫥 Keep fighting the good fight and happy holidays to your whole family! ❄️⛄️
Zeke in the first 5 seconds? This is a blessed video.
Hi Hannah and Zeke!!
Your cat has a very similar "meow" to mine, and everytime he speaks I always get confused and think my cat is - she loves to talk as well haha
Chances are really good that it was used because they even said that the mascara must’ve been old because it was clumpy if they were doing these presentations every day and using fresh makeup there’s no way that it could get old and clumpy. Even at places that allow you to try on the make up, they sanitize it every time and then you’re given special applicators so that you’re never using the same mascara wand someone else did.
It's like one of those Judy D videos, where she gets the most horrible, unsanitary makeup jobs at salons. Ewwwwww
Hahaha everyone wins the raffle!
I hope lady 3 drops her Insta. She sounds cool!
Also, I liked hearing from Bruce. It’s definitely a good perspective from the “inside.”
I was invited just recently to a big small business sale. I love to support small businesses so I went. It turned out to be a Mary Kay Christmas give-a-way. I was so upset because I wasted my time and gas. Really made me mad
SING THE SONG OF YOUR PEOPLE, ZEKE! 🎵
Hi Zeke! Love your intro.
I have been in different mlm companies where the ceo is also a consultant. I just thought that was a thing! 😂
lol I totally blocked out an ittworks hun that tried the “model” trick in my dms back in like 2016
When you were talking about how everyone wins a makeover, I was imagining them handing them out like Oprah. You get a makeover! You get a makeover! Except Oprah gives out good things.
Also, I would’ve chucked that dry mascara in the trash can on my way out to the car. I would’ve been so over it. I hate how we feel we have to spare people’s feelings when they can’t respect our boundaries or even us as people. Society does not do us favors by teaching us to be good little girls. It’s one of the reasons so many of us need therapy (speaking from experience).
Question on the last story. Would canceling the card, reporting it as lost, reporting that the charge was fraudulent will solve the issue? Asking because I honestly don't know
When I worked at a clothing store when I was 18 another girl (completely different look than me) and myself were approached by a lady saying she would love to give us a makeover and use our photos in her portfolio for her business. I don’t remember if she mentioned MK or not. The girl and I thankfully drove together to this address that yes happened to be a conference room/team meeting. Same situation. It was the most awkward hour or two of our lives. Not sure how that approach would ever convince anyone to join. The whole bait and switch was a total turn off
The over made up looks that Mary Kay consultants are taught to push is clearly intended to consume as many products as possible. My husband (then fiance) always hated the looks my aunt and her upline put on me. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, and he said they made me look like Kewpie doll.
I thought the vitamin story was going to be about Plexus! 😂
Lularoe did fundraiser matching for approved causes. It was something like 10% from the company when the consultants would usually give all their profits.
my ex-boss is the quality control manager at a makeup and supplement company in Florida. She tried to get me to work in the quality control department as well. when I researched the company I found out they are a European MLM that's been around since 2001 or so. They pay her well and she has no affiliation with the sales side. I declined based on them being an MLM but told her it was because of the commute.
Mary Kay is the only Eye Shadow that I don't have a reaction to! I hate it, but its the only option Ive found that my eyes don't itch.
MAOW! 🐈
That poor kid that had to go through all of that crap because her mother was so brainwashed from her mlm 😔
Zeke mowing in the background is my absolute favorite
My brain stopped listening to the stories and focused on Zeke ❤😅
I had this EXACT same thing happen when I shopped for my dress. I had no idea Mary Kay was an MLM or what one was, so when I “won” the spa night I was so excited! I was so embarrassed when I took all of my sister in laws to be into this horrible situation that played out EXACTLY like this story. On of my sisters even got roped into joining “for the discount!”
Goal for 2023: 100K subscribers, not quite meeting.
