Buying from an MLM

Where do you stand on buying from an MLM? Just wondering really. I've never been into any of the make up brands so never even considered it before. Also no one I know has ever been involved in it. I've read the unique blog by the lady who got drawn in and does the campaigning and have always had a negative view of them since that.
However I've recently learned that the usborne books home sales is one too which surprised me. I've ordered a book through a friend of a friend who is doing it. I've paid for it, but have realised that it's probably pretty unethical. It was a decent price, but am now wonder whether I should call it a day after that book only. It's a shame as I generally try and support local businesses etc... Plus my DC love books and the selection available seems right up their street.
Where do you stand on it?

I refuse to do it.

I'm another who would never buy from an MLM.
A totally unethical business model which should be banned.

I wouldn't buy anything from an MLM.

Their techniques are despicable.

A rep came to my synagogue (of all places!) and tried to get a very vulnerable, withdrawn young mother with 6 children to sign up as a rep, saying she'd be "perfect". Utterly immoral.
