Pros

Love their primer, seems like a fun company to sell for

Cons

so many. the hairs/brissels of my foundation brush started falling out onto my face by the second month. by the third, it was coming out in chunks making it unusable. I joined to be a presenter, invested 1000.00. I was not looking to sell full-time, as I am a low-income student. I did have a couple customers per month, but could not afford to spend 300.00 or whatever the outrageous price on makeup was in order to earn commission. I WAS NOT INFORMED THAT I WOULD BE KICKED OFF MY PRESENTER STATUS IF I DID NOT PURCHASE ENOUGH FOR TWO MONTHS. I could not even find that on their website, as I had explored all the rules before (or so i thought). the makeup is not a godsend. AFTER BEING NOTIFIED THAT I WAS BANNED FROM MY ACCOUNT FOR NOT ENOUGH PURCHASES THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, THEY STILL CONTINUED TO EMAIL ME THEIR PROMOTIONS AND NEW PRODUCTS INFO AS IF I WAS A CUSTOMER! i think this is your typical MLM selfish business only out to benefit their founders and higher ranking individuals. I am part of a different "mlm" company as well and did not realize how amazing their compensation, and charities, and signing up would be until I joined younique and got booted off. you'd think 100.00 a month for makeup would at least pay off in points, discounts or commission from customer purchases-but nope.
