Let me tell you a little something...

It's Tuesday. Which means, it's my Monday..and it definitely feels like a Monday. And I feel the need to rant a little bit.
As a business owner, I try to be careful of what I say through facebook, so I'm going to do it through my Blog...which will be posted on Facebook..but...oh well. Guess we'll see how many people actually read it.

Lately, my facebook has been flooded with "ItWorks", "Younique", "Thrive", and "Beach Body".
It almost over kill! I get messages on the daily about how I'm a salon owner and would be awesome at promoting these business. No Thank You. Nothing against the product. Just no Thanks.
On top of that, I see people's statuses complaining about people adding them to their groups and how "they don't want to buy your mascara" or "try your wraps". Fine whatever. And then, someone proceeded to tell them to "Get a real job".

Now, I certainly hope I don't come off to people this way. I just want to break something down for you. The difference between my Motives business and your makeup business.

I have a job. I am not a stay-at-home Mom. Chances are, you were a stay at home Mom before you joined the business. (Not that there is anything wrong with it- I think we'd all love to work in our PJS most days) I own a salon. I do hair 10-12 hours a day. I am by no means trying to make a living off my makeup.Those of you who have been following me, know that I have a makeup page, and that I have had this blog long before Motives came into the picture. I went to school for this.

My makeup business is trying to help you guys out! I don't have to "fight" to get people to join my team so that I can achieve a certain status or pay raise,or whatever it may be. I don't get "promoted".
Instead, I get to see the satisfaction on my clients face after a makeover, or I receive a message from someone who purchased the makeup, and they love it. You don't, and will not see me posting all over my page trying to get you to join my team. All I wanted was an amazing product line that I could carry in my salon. In fact- my "commission" from the makeup, goes right back into the makeup. Not once have I put it in my pocket.
The thing about today's "hot makeup business" is, EVERYONE SELLS IT. Soon, you're going to run out of people to sell it to. Soon, everyone will be working under someone, and this business will be a dying fad. Because that's how Multi-Level-Marketing company works. It all started with that mascara. That was the only thing that got the business going. The sales went through the roof, and then came crashing down when everyone and their children bought it. So then they started the makeup line.You think your "Promoter" chose you just because she thought you'd be good at it? You might be. But who is it benefiting from the start? Not you. Your Promoter. Do you get a share of her profit? No, but she get's a share of yours(and if she says she doesn't, she is lying)
. She sure didn't target you as a seller because "you're good at makeup". She used it as a sale point "buy this and be part of my team , you don't need to know anything about makeup". Wake up. That's just it. She targeted you because you don't know about makeup. So you join, use the products and think it's the best thing ever because you don't know any better. Anyone who knows makeup, knows it's not quality makeup. I Did you know the number 1 reason for top promoters quitting that business ? It's because they we're tired of lying about the quality of makeup. They knew it wasn't good and couldn't promote makeup like that. Number 2 reasoning for people quitting:: YOU ARE YOUR BIGGEST CUSTOMER. If you don't know what that means , think about it. Do your research people. YouTube is great for that.

Loving and using one product/brand does NOT make you a makeup expert. I have tried soooo many different makeups, but never will I call myself an "expert". Every day I learn something new. If something with motives doesn't sit well with a client, we either trouble shoot or I know enough about other products and will 100% recommend them something else if I think it will work for them.


I love makeup. I truly do. I love testing out products so that people can ask my honest opinions about them. I love when people ask what I'm wearing on my face so I can tell them how much I love the product. I love to bring people in the salon and make over their face. I love getting people ready for their big days.  I do this, because I simply LOVE it. I love the makeup, and I love what it does for people. Not to get rich quick. And I love all of you for following me.

Rant Over,
Happy Tuesday Loves!
