Bloody Younique!

Okay, so recently my best friend has decided to join a multi level marketing group pyramid scheme called Younique. Her new 'business' is selling forcing friends to buy Younique and she's honestly doing my head in!

Don't want to make this too long, but these are the occurrences:

a) She made a Facebook group for her Younique profile. Added me into it. I left. She added me again. I left again. SHE ADDED ME AGAIN!!

b) She keeps posting things like "join my team and get paid every Friday!" "Are you a single mum who wants to spend more time with her kids? Well now you can be a better mum if you join my team!" Like she's targeting single mums to almost emotionally manipulate them into joining her team under her, to benefit herself Confused

c) she messages asking if I want to buy stuff and then complains when I say no, saying I'm not supporting her. I have a LOT of makeup as I used to be a makeup consultant which I think is why she focussed on me so much but I have tried Younique and don't like the quality! It's overpriced!

So AIBU to think that my friend is doing something very wrong here, as well as finding her intensely annoying?!

I have a friend who is selling stupidly expensive "superfood" tablets. I honestly don't believe that there is any point in this when you can just eat the damn food for a lot less. (Also, you can get superfood powders from any supermarket if you're into that sort of thing...)
She has had a really rough breakup and gets nothing but abuse from her ex. I would love to support her, but not this way. I find this kind of marketing predatory.
