I may be selfish due to the fact...

That I went to a Mary Kay makeover session. I am now thinking od spending $104 all on myself. Is that wrong with all that is going on??:shrug:

1. You can't give everything to people

But I hear that Mary Kay stuff is unreasonably pricey and you can get the equivilant for much cheaper at your local department store.

2. You can but they have a line that helps people like me...

with skin allergies to many types of acids.

3. Oh, okay

I have a sister that is a Mary Kay "dealer" and a sister that is a Mary Kay consumer. My sister who is the consumer told me what I said in the first post. She only buys a few things every once in a while just to be nice to my other sister. I didn't know about the allergy deal.

but don't buy things you don't need. Less is better. :)

Just some friendly advice! :D

6. There are plenty of hypo-allergenic companies that aren't Mary Kay

That said though, the fact you are hesitant about spending the $104 and coming to an internet message board and asking a mess of strangers for their approval kind of tells me you don't approve of the action you are considering taking.

Here's my suggestion. Wait awhile, until you can say with 100% conviction that it's ok for you to spend the money on make up. The Mary Kay dealer will be HAPPY to sell the stuff to you at a later date. I am of the opinion that one should feel good about frivolous expenditures of money, not feel guilty about it as soon as you can't return the item. Then you have a constant reminder of guilt feelings.

Another choice is to not wear make up. It's a personal choice-I used to, don't anymore, except it's fun for dress up. If you have allergies, it might be best to not cover your skin with the stuff. stick to mascara, shadow and a bit of lippy. The 'regimen' with which you are set up by a sales person is to do one thing and one thing only-to help the salesperson and Mary Kay make money and meet sales goals. No matter how friendly and nice and complimentary she is to you, SHE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. You are a wallet that has money in it for her to get from you in whatever beguiling ways she can.

Also, the comestic crap is not medicine and can irritate your skin.

Remember too, ALL cosmetics cost pennies to make. The mark up for brand name is tremendous. You are, essentially, paying Mary Kay for BEING Mary Kay, and nothing else.
