My adventures with Beauti Control!
I was introduced to Beauti Control at an early age because this was the only skincare and makeup my mom would wear when I was growing up. I vividly remember one day as a little girl we went over to my mom’s friend’s house (to pick up an order of make up) and the lady kept talking to my mom about what a GREAT opportunity she had for my mom, if only my mom would sign up to sell makeup. On the way home I asked my mom, “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! That sounded like a great plan; we’ll be driving the pink Cadillac in no time!!”
Well my mom never fell for it, but I sure did! Several years later, while in college, I signed up to be a Beauti Control Consultant….and was TERRIBLE at it!! I spent far more money than I ever made; I placed orders for myself all the time and they could convince me to buy about anything! So shockingly, I never earned my pink Cadillac but I did have some great skincare for several years!!
Moral of this story- if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! With BeautiControl, similar to most Multilevel Marketing (MLM) type companies, they actually did offer a great product but the focus was on recruiting other “business women” and the products were severely overpriced (probably because there were so many levels of “management” that had to get paid from each sell). At this point, BeautiControl has been bought out by some other company and no longer exists in the form in which I was involved with it so so long ago. But alas, no regrets even in this MLM I learned some valuable life lessons, met some fun personalities, and continued on the journey God has designed for me, so on we go!
