Mary Kay is women for women, and a full moon ago it launched its fabulous awards system for their dedicated Beauty Consultants during the Founders Celebration. Breathtaking prizes included diamond and emerald earrings, diamond bumblebees, a trip to Australia and a pink Honda Civic 1.6 Vti. Now dahlings, if that wasn’t enough, another car, a pink Ford Expedition, went to the sales director who was instantly promoted that night to National Sales Director. No wonder those ladies put their all into selling Mary Kay products! "The pink car is Mary Kay’s symbol of success–a trophy on wheels," explained Mary Kay Phils. GM Ana Maria Cawa.

For those not in the know, Mary Kay and her son Richard Rogers used her life savings of $5,000 to start what has become one of the world’s most successful names in beauty. Her first skin care line was actually based on a hide tanner’s formula!
