Winning Mary Kay make up from David Bridal

Everyone wins this.

It's not a scam.

It is a sales tactic. You win a gift card for MaryKay products, usually $10 or $20 off a $40 purchase or something. They will invite you to a bridal event where you can practice makeup looks. You do the makeup on yourself, they don't apply it for you.

Sometimes the gift is different, I think it depends on the Mary Kay person that you "win" from--you might get some free product outright.

The gift card is only worthwhile if you already buy MK.

I wouldn't have a MK person do my make up. They generally aren't licensed and quite frankly most of their make up is awful.

I'm having a MUA that I know do my makeup. She's a former coworkers daughter (so not a friendor) and I've used her for other gala's/parties.

Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd pass on it. I do love their skin care, but the training is minimal.

What AMW said, We went for the "pampering day" we applied all makeup ourselves and it was a super high pressure sales pitch

Oh, yea, similar situation with me. I had to put my name and email down to get into a Bridal Show, and I got an email saying that I won a free MK facial and makeup. What they did not tell me was that it was just a sales pitch. I got stuck watching the pitch, and my free 'makeup' was a $30 dollar voucher for any of their products. FYI none of the products offered were less than $50. Its a waste of time.

I wouldn't do it.

As a former MK sales rep, I agree don't do it. It's just another tactic to get you and a bunch of friends together for a sales pitch.

I got this email too. Straight to the trash folder. They are trying to sell you makeup. The "freebie" is the coupon or hook to get you to buy more products.

I got this too. I got one email and that was it. In the past, I've tried MK products and they just aren't good, IMO. I'd say pass on it.

Everyone "wins". It's a sales tactic to get you to buy MK.

Happened to me too. I got a $25 voucher. Of course I couldn't just spend 25 bucks. I did learn a decent tip about applying blush, though. Unless you actually like MK makeup and have an interest in buying it, I'd say pass.

Thanks ladies! I just sent her an email and said no thank you.

Omg I fell for this. It was SUCH a high-pressure sales situation. I was kind of furious when I left. I figured there would be some pressure to buy, but my lady was ridiculous.

I got this too. But after responding to her email thanking her and saying I was interested she never answered back. Good riddance lol I sell Avon anyway!
