I looked at their website and although the products look cool, you have to spend $10.00 a month for membership. That's one hundred twenty dollars a year!!...just for beauty products. The idea is novel, but not the price. I get free beauty products anyway from SAVE CREATIVELY. CO M
and I've never had to pay a cent or have any kind of membership.
poor chelsea she only posts to promote herself, she is such a scam artist
WHY DO STYLISTS DRESS SO POORLY? EXAMPLE, A "MAN" NAMED "MISS J" THAT DRESSES LIKE A CLOWN (BOZO)
They are both butt-ugly. Maybe they should use some of their profits to get nose jobs.
Actually, this video said alot of nothing.
Maybe not butt-ugly, but isn't it amazing how the plainest-looking people are the "fashion experts?" I guess you don't have to be "it" to know "it." I think they'd do better as behind the scenes consultants. That goes for most of the "Hollywood" reporters, too. Some of them shouldn't be allowed outdoors during the day.
I think all cosmetic companies should warn their customers of the dangers of applying makeup while driving. Please prepare your clown faces before leaving for the circus.
Holy moly, these comments are crazy (aside from Chelsea, who provided real insight)- why are you reading a small business article, if you can only focus on the shallow stuff?! Come on people...
My take on things...
The business idea is great one, just wish the video shared a bit more behind-the-scenes of getting started. Would have been useful to hear about ways they got off the ground that could be applied to other businesses. Don't think many small businesses have the funding to run such a large beta test.
In any event, best of luck girls!
Their physical features have nothing to do with their knowledge of beauty products. Look at how many mediocre ball players become successful coaches. Still, spending $10 a month is quite a bit. You keep going at that pace, you wind up having makeup that's out of date and needs replacing.
ELLY MAY OF THE BEVERLY HILL BILLIES HAD MORE FASHION SENSE THAN THESE TWO...............................................................................................................dont ya think
I do not understand the monthly cost just to view cosmetics. I have an Avon Rep that lives next door to me and it costs nothing to look at what there is for skin beauty and other cosmetics. I guess some people have more money than sense.
Most comments have been from imbeciles! Why would they attack these young ladies outward appearance? so superficial.. or their ethnicity? They are LOVELY and intelligent young women trying to run a new business. The are to be admired and respected.
