This information was on InTouch the other day. Since our inventory arrives via UPS this is very good info to have. Because everyone who visits isn’t a consultant, I’m sharing it publicly because anyone who receives orders via UPS needs this information:

Attention Virus Warning
We have been notified that there is a fraudulent e-mail being sent that says it is coming from UPS and leads the recipient to believe that a UPS shipment could not be delivered. The recipient is advised to open an attachment reportedly containing a waybill for the shipment to be picked up.
This e-mail attachment contains a virus. We recommend that you do not open the attachment, but delete the e-mail immediately.
UPS may send official notification messages on occasion, but they rarely include attachments. If you receive a notification message that includes an attachment and are in doubt about its authenticity, please contact customerservice@ups.com.
This month Mary Kay will be launching television commercials during popular programs. This information was in the latest eMessenger from the company, but in case you missed it, click here to preview the commercial!
This is available to all consultants on InTouch, but I wanted to share the upcoming changes to the color line. Here is a list of what will be going away for good and what will be back in June reformulated. It also says what new shades will be best to replace the discontinued ones: (more…)
I was browsing my stats on the blog and someone searched this term:
“can i donate my mary kay inventory to charity”
I thought I would address it. It brought 3 searches to my site. The answer is absolutely! As a matter of fact, it is recommended by the company in the April issue of Applause®. It’s found on page 9. I will quote: (more…)
This is excellent advice whether you’re in Mary Kay or not. A couple years ago there was a computer stolen from my employer and these types of guidelines were communicated to all who were potentially affected. Fortunately, the stolen laptop was recovered, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry (more…)
This is interesting. It appears it will require less production for Grand Achiever. I like that this shows the required production and the co-op payments if production is missed as well as the cash payout increments if production is missed:

Update: Limited-edition Bag for Mary Kay® Mineral Powder Foundation and Brush Sets
The Mary Kay®Mineral Powder Foundation and Brush Sets have enjoyed great success, and the limited-edition bag included in the set is now out of stock. At this time, sets are still available to order, but they will ship without the limited-edition bag. Click here for a PDF of the applications tips included in the limited-edition bag. You may print this and provide it to any of your customers who want to know more about their Mary Kay® Mineral Powder Foundation and Brush Set!
This is a few days old, but I have been really bad lately about checking InTouch. Anyway, they are making a generic sample card for any samples. I love this! I often wouldn’t buy the sample cards because I don’t use all of them or I felt like they should come with the samples. This will solve those problems.
Sampler Cards Update
Great news! Beginning 3/16/08, we will be launching a new all-purpose sampler card. The new Sample Anything! Card will be the perfect Mary Kay package to house a variety of product samples allowing you to customize sampling experiences for your customers without having to purchase multiple, separate sampler cards!
The Sample Anything! Card also will include other exciting features – customer service cards that will remind your customer that you are always available to fulfill all her beauty needs, as well as a card she can share with a friend. Also included will be upsell information for key skin care products such as the Miracle Set and the TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Set.
To help prepare for the launch of this exciting new sampler card, we will slowly begin phasing out many of our current sampler cards as inventory is depleted, beginning with the Satin Hands® Pampering Set Sampler Card and TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Set Sampler Card on the 12/16/07 Consultant order form, which will be available only while supplies last. The TimeWise® Targeted-Action™ Line Reducer sampler card and Mary Kay® Nourishing Body Lotion sampler cards, in which the samplers are already affixed to the cards, will remain in the line and will fit beautifully inside the new Sample Anything! Card.
Congratulations on a fabulous Fall/Holiday selling season! Inventory of the following limited-edition Fall/Holiday items is expected to be depleted during October month end:
Mary Kay® Eye Color Quad in Golden Plum
Bella Belara™ Shimmeriffic® Body Lotion
As you know, once limited-edition items are completely sold out, they will no longer be available and will be marked “Out of Stock” on Online Ordering. As always when limited-edition items are offered as part of the product lineup, we strongly encourage you to order them early within the promotional time period so you’ll be sure to have them for your customers who would love them!
Thanks to ME over on My Pink Truth for this info! Check it out here! It’s very helpful info regarding the upcoming lipstick, gloss, and foundation changes. This information is also available on InTouch.
