To not want to support a MLM but like the product?

I really like one of the Younique products but I don’t particularly want to support a MLM chain. Is there anywhere you can buy them like eBay?

Yes loads of the stuff littering EBay and Facebook selling groups, largely from failed younique reps who are desperate to recoup their lost money that they were suckered into spending out to set up!

ShitAtScarbble · 15/06/2019 20:36

There are 2491 listings for Younique on eBay. Have you actually looked there?

Rosewater33 · 15/06/2019 20:47

Yes, but not the product I’m looking for. It’s mostly the mascara and eyeshadow.

Count down for eleventy billion PMs...

I thought it was crazy pricey stuff?

TrixieFranklin · 15/06/2019 20:50

Are you going to say what it is you're looking for then..

Rosewater33 · 15/06/2019 20:52

What do you mean science?

As others have said, loads of failed reps are offloading their stock.

Saying that I'm surprised you like the mascara given how many reviews suggest it's crumbly crap, and im surprised you like the eyeshadow when many reviews show how lacking in pigment they are.

Why not spend your money on better quality products?

GrapefruitIsGross · 15/06/2019 20:55

I thought the main issue with Younique from a consumer perspective was that it was expensive but poor quality?

If you google the product name and dupe you might have some luck.

Rosewater33 · 15/06/2019 20:56

I’ve never tried the mascara but I like my own brand. It’s mostly the mascara on sale on eBay.

OP posts:
TrixieFranklin · 15/06/2019 20:56

So what is it you actually want?

hidinginthenightgarden · 15/06/2019 21:14

Rosewater I think Trixie is hoping to sell you something if you will tell her what you want!! Grin

TrixieFranklin · 15/06/2019 21:33

Haha not a chance I'm just very curious as to what product someone would actually want GrinGrin

LolaSmiles · 15/06/2019 21:40

If you've not tried it then why are you after mascara that's known for being rubbish?

Is this an attempt to have a positive Pooneek thread after all the recent MLM threads highlighting what a scam it is?

Rosewater33 · 16/06/2019 11:00

I don’t want the mascara Smile

Someone said ‘look on ebay’

I said ‘I have, but it is mostly the mascara for sale on there.’

Ergo - I DON’T want the mascara!

I misread your post. I thought when you mentioned mascara that was what you were after. Sorry. Serves me right for speed reading / failing to read at speed.

Shoeshelpplease · 16/06/2019 11:45

But what is it you want? We are all curious? Never heard of anybody actually WANTING their products before?
