Is it a cult?

What the hell is it?

Someone "normal" on my FB is evangelical about it like they have been totally brainwashed.

Is it really this amazing "opportunity" and "dream" or is it a load of old bollocks - it's just overpriced mascara isn't it?

Oh God I've had to leave several of these stupid pages.

No a load of overpriced make up that makes you look like a drag queen does not equal a business.

And enough with the Eeeking and emojis ffs.

If it was that easy to make money why would we all go to work each day...

I have no idea what Kyani actually is! "Amazing and life changing" though whatever it is! Wink

woodhill · 13/03/2017 20:18

Someone recently asked me to become a rep, stuff looks ok but I already have plenty of make up. I would be too embarrassed to do videos and post stuff on Feb

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 13/03/2017 20:18

Seriously, whenever I see one of their BS posts on Facebook I post that YouTube John Oliver episode about MLM

myusernamewastaken · 13/03/2017 20:20

This shit makes my blood boil....my feed is clogged up with crap make-up....weight loss tea....juice plus...body wraps....jamberry...scentsy etc etc.....fucking load of old shit

AYankinSpanx · 13/03/2017 20:24

Younique is a really irritating word. I can't even be bothered to Google Kyani. I strongly suspect it would irritate me as well. I can't stand moronic crap aimed at women like this.

Glossolalia · 13/03/2017 20:25

Does anyone else want to reply and get the PM just to see what shite they spout?!

myusernamewastaken · 13/03/2017 20:26

At least life tree world seems to have died a death now.

myusernamewastaken · 13/03/2017 20:27

Ayankinspanx it is actually youneeeeeeeeeeeeekkkk

topcat2014 · 13/03/2017 20:28

It's as if shops had never been invented.

Apparently, you can even buy make up in Boots!

KitKat1985 · 13/03/2017 20:29

What the fuck is with those pearl opening videos? What is the point? How are you supposed to make any money out of that?

I mentally zone out when I see any FB mention of Younique, Juice Plus, Herbalife, Forever Living, blah blah......

D1az · 13/03/2017 20:30

I had a friend do something similar, it wasn't Younique and I can't for the life of me remember the name of the company, but when she posted about it, I thought she had been hacked. I think these companies give you a pre-written spiel to post to entice people to join/buy stuff from you, at least that's what it looked like to me.

D1az · 13/03/2017 20:31

I do remember - it was Arbonne.a

Crowdblundering · 13/03/2017 20:31

So basically it's all a bit "Emporers New Clothes" - you make out you are living in a mansion when you can barely scrape together your bus fare to your real job?

MuncheysMummy · 13/03/2017 20:32

No Younique don't sell tea and actually it's pretty ok makeup I found,decent quality stuff but very overpriced. It's certainly no better than Urban Decay or Mac or Bobbi Brown but costs a little more. All the PM for price bollocks annoys the hell out of me though they don't publically post prices as the know its harder to say no to a direct message and it opens a dialogue plus the world at large would see their inflated prices and discuss them!

DJBaggySmalls · 13/03/2017 20:34

Yes, literally one of the founders of a MLM company tells her followers she lives in this amazing converted castle, and someone went on social media to explain she actually rents it!

mycatisginger · 13/03/2017 20:35

The foundation is dreadful.

BrightonBelleCat · 13/03/2017 20:35

Crowd that's exactly what it is.

Nicky333 · 13/03/2017 20:37

One of my friends on FB did a few posts about Bacon Plus. Very piss-taking and very funny 😂

TheWitTank · 13/03/2017 20:37

My bot posts shit like this. Daily. It is hilariously awful.

Nicknacky · 13/03/2017 20:37

What is the deal with the Mercedes that they are "presented" with? I assume the bot is paying for it?

Glossolalia · 13/03/2017 20:41

TheWitTank I was a bit sick in my mouth after reading that.

TipTop333 · 13/03/2017 20:41

URGH the inspiring quotes

passingthrough1 · 13/03/2017 20:41

I had never heard of Younique until that DH and Younique thread. I know spend hours looking for these people on Facebook.
