Mary Kay Cosmetics and Eagle Update


In business for more than 40 years, Mary Kay cosmetics offer about 200 skin care and make up product to its devoted customers. It also creates job opportunities for the budding entrepreneur, whether part or full time, because Mary Kay sales all of its products through representatives and at home demonstrations. Mary Kay Ash spent 25 years building her career in direct marketing sales, ending up as a national training director with World Gift. After training a number of men and watching several of them obtain a promotion above her, she quit. Following her resignation she, started writing a book of advice on how women could obtain the opportunities that were denied her. However instead of finishing the book, Mary Kay decided to create the opportunities for women through her own direct sales company. Mary Kay wanted to offer a product that would not only make her business a success, but would be something that customers would find useful. Back when she sold Stanley Home Products in the first 20 years of her career, Mary Kay met a cosmetologist at one of her home parties that recently developed a skin care product. After the cosmetologist died in 1961, Mary Kay purchased the formula from her daughter. In 1963, Mary Kay and her husband (who died a month before the company started), rented a small office space in the Dallas/Houston, Texas, area and recruited nine sales representatives, known as "beauty consultants," for the product.  Mary Kay’s son and daughter joined ranks with the family business. A Dallas-based company manufactured the Mary Kay products and consultants sold the merchandise through home parties, called "skin care classes."Mary Kay wanted to make her company stand out as something completely different. Her goal was to provide women with opportunities weren’t readily available in the business world through a rewarding career and flexible work schedule.

The eagles are at feeding time well one is while the others attempt to rest in their nest. The mommy has just left while one tries to move his or her brother or sister. I can also hear them chirping in the sound.  I cant wait until they learn to fly but I can wait cause then I’ll never see them againL.  Now one of them is picking at the grass and mud in the nest its so cute. Remember you can see these eagles to at www.alcoa.com/eaglecam  and watch them grow!

  1. Andrea,

    Most of the problems that I found with this entry are all writing issues: spelling, tense, punctuation, and sentence structure. Otherwise very informative and knowledgeable. I liked that you added the link to go see the eagles. Great job :0)
