I don’t see why everyone has to hate on women owned businesses

They aren't women owned businesses. They are predatory business practices that lure women into taking advantage of their friends and then ultimately losing money.

no, it’s a business, built from the ground up, owned and managed by women. That is a woman-owned business.

It may be owned by A woman, but it’s certainly not the woman you are buying from.

Says the MLM consultant. Why do you think begging for money is support?

I definitely buy from friends who are small business owners-happy to buy lovely knits goods or a delicious tres leches cake, attend your yoga class, or hire you as my realtor if you have a good record, but buying a product that someone is selling with a tiny margin knowing that the only people who make real money are those at the top? No thank you. Someone recently tried to recruit me to sell weight loss wraps. Are you f-ing kiddding me? so ridiculous. And the Beauty Counter ladies are relentless.

You nailed it. And i also loved the show!

Looks like someone drank the Kool-aid. You're a customer/prey, not a business owner. And based on basic stats on MLMs, you're likely to be among the over 90% who lose money.

Lots of friends, good food + fun games w/prizes, etc.

I had zero idea it was all a sham. 😧

Hey, tupperware was pretty awesome. A quality product that perhaps is slowly killing me with BPA

Tupperware parties in the seventies were just awesome.
At the time Rubbermaid products did not exist so there was zero competition.
The games were a blast and the food, prizes and conversations were lovely.

And at the time, everyone had Tupperware.
Our mothers had cabinets full of the stuff.
Like that famous pitcher.
lol.

I loved the kid’s stuff like the cool toys Pop-A-Lot.

They made a great product that is way better than Rubbermaid. I still have these colored tumblers with lids that have sippy spouts if you wanted to snap those on. They are great

Omg I need to get off this site. I recognize too many of the cast of characters like Sexless Marriage Guy and MLM "tearing our sisters down" Lady. My new favorite is Adult Trike Wife- she's a kook.

OMG, same. It's the "brings me to tears" poster.

Fantastic show. Also why can’t people just have a party. Do they know you can just email your friends and say “come over for snacks and drinks”
And then gather and enjoy each other?

If you’re selling flying monsters, I would definitely love the party. I wouldn’t buy one though.

I'd drop everything to go to that party.

Too funny. Cut it out guys. People might think you are serious.

Pp referred to ladies peddling beauty counter as relentless / and I had not really connected the dots (have friend who is very sweet and artistic who sells it but my DD just did not like it and it is a bit pricey for me so I declined to buy more).

Thought I’d check reviews online and sure enough there were some terrible reviews about BC (also some good ones).

Here is a balanced review that also mentions why many women sell it to their friends in good faith … it does support the thesis that a man at the top of the MLM is the one raking in the dough …

Yes, thank goodness this is what my close friends do. But I still get invited into 1-2 MLM things per year. Thankfully they have been mostly virtual (even before Covid) so easier to ignore.
