It was a super quick read and a testament to “you can start or restart at any point in your life.” After all, she created Mary Kay “after” she retired. I wasn’t too keen on the writing itself and it was often repetitive. It’s not the type of memoir I would normally read but I was curious. It highlights the good work she did, her work through faith, and desire to help women. Copyright is 1981 so dated and have no idea if anything new contradicts her code of conduct/ethics.

Side note: My cousin and I went to a Mary Kay cosmetics “party” in the 80s, and woke up the next day with a horrible reaction…our faces red and burned looking…so It turned me away from the brand. I later used their nail kit which was fantastic but that was the extent of my dabbling. ( )

This book was originally written in 1981 and reprinted two more times after that. Because of that fact, it was hard to really appreciate the statistics referenced because of how old they were. I felt like the book read more like a self help book than a memoir. I'm not a big makeup person and therefore had a hard time relating to Mary Kay. I do admire her drive, ambition and leadership. I think if I would have read this book at a different time in my career, I could have applied some of her tips.

Two quotes from the book that I liked:

* p. 105 - A very good definition of a woman's needs. From birth to age 14, she needs good parents & good health. From age 14 to age 40, she needs good looks. From age 40 to age 60, she needs personality. From age 60 on, she needs cash.
* p. 109 - When a woman behaves like a lady, she sets the stage, and as a result, men will conduct themselves as a gentlemen. ( )

During my brief attempt at selling Mary Kay, I read this book. It is, actually, an excellent book, and highly inspiring for anyone (not just Mary Kay salespeople). This is filled with anecdotes, but is primarily a biography, and would certainly be of interest to anyone interested in inspirational reading or biographies. Oh yes, and please contact me if you'd like to buy some Microderm Abrasion on sale. :} ( )
