Back to School September Specials

Hi Again Everyone...So here are my September, "back to school" specials...for all of you hard working mothers that are running around trying to get your kids ready for school. You need some time for yourself! Anyone that hosts a party in the month of September will receive $45.00 in free products, celebrating the 45th Anniversary of Mary Kay in September. The other special is related to the new compacts, there are two...the pro...which is a large one holding up to 16 eyeshadows, 2 lipsticks, cheek colors, etc. and the purse compact which holds eyeshadow (3 to 6), cheek color, and lipstick. If you host a party on September 1st you will receive either compact for $1.00 (empty and refillable) if you host on September 5th then you will receive the compact for $5.00....you get it! Each compact is refillable and "purse tested"....I love both of mine. The pro retails for $35 and the purse retails for $18. So call me to book a party and take advantage of whatever offer appeals to you....you can do both....host on the 1st...pay $1.00 for the compact and then use your $45 credit to fill the compact! Not a bad deal! Let me know!!! Please email or call me...I look forward to hearing from you!! Shannon

Hello Again Family and Friends... As some of you may know I have just returned from Dallas TX (way too hot and humid there!) after attending the Mary Kay "Celebrate the Dream" seminar. What an inspiring and fun trip. I learned a great deal, met some wonderful people and had a blast. I am learning to DREAM BIG! I wanted to share some of my thoughts and ideas with you. First some business...here are some facts I learned about the May Kay Corporation. 1. Mary Kay is a very "green" company. Mary Kay has recently released a new re-fillable compact and is recycling the old ones. For each compact turned in Mary Kay will plant a tree, up to 100,000 trees.2. All products are tested on people, not animals.3. The military and universities such as Harvard send representatives to seminar to study the "Mary Kay Way"...the company is run based upon the "golden rule" of service.4. Mary Kay has just released a second compact called the compact pro. The "pro" retails for $35. It can hold 12 eye shadows, 4 lip/eyeliners, brazing color, cheek color and 2 lip colors. It can hold less shadows and add a creme to powder foundation instead. Filled with 6 eye shadows, 2 lip colors, 1 eyeliner, 1 lip liner, 1 bronzer, 1 cheek color and a creme to powder foundation it retails for $159. A beautiful compact for all your needs.5. This is Mary Kay's 45th anniversary year. Big things are happening. I will be running specials to celebrate this.6. All of the new eye and cheek colors are mineral powders.7. Mary Kay has just launched 4 new women's fragrances...warm amber, simply cotton, sparkling honeysuckle and exotic passion fruit.8. There are some fabulous holiday gift ideas. I will be making beautiful gift baskets and of course gift certificates will be available. "All Things Glamorous" are beautiful, sparkly, holiday collections that consist of a compact with shimmer mineral powder in canary diamond, lip gloss in gold sequins and a choice of berry luxe, couture pink, or champagne creme lipstick. The compact set comes in a beautiful velvet bag and of course the compact is refillable.9. There are four sexy men's scents. "High Intensity", "Tribute for Men", "Domain" and "Velocity for Him". The man in your life will love the MK men's line. The holiday gift set retails for $38. and includes cooling after shave gel, MK men body spray and MK men shave foam. This gift set is a 'while supplies last' offer. My man loves the products.10. The $26. woman's gift sets consist of body wash, body mist and body butter that come in Glistening Winterberry or Creamy Frosted Vanilla. Both sets come in adorable travel bags.11. MK Charity...Through Dec. 31, 2008 all proceeds from the sale of Apple berry Lipstick will go to the Mary Kay Ash Foundation. The foundation supports research for all types of women's cancers and the fight against domestic violence. Each and every one of us knows at least one woman who has been affected by one or both of these afflictions. Also through December there will be a program called "Host a Class, Help a Cause". When you host a party you will receive the glamorous "Holiday Wishes" necklace. The necklace is 41 inches long and can be worn many ways, including as a chunky, cool bracelet. The necklace, made of gold lucite beads and multifaceted chanpagne tone crystals comes in a beautiful pink and black drawstring bag. All the proceeds from this necklace go to the foundation. I purchase the necklace and you receive it as a hostess gift!12. Visit my website at www.marykay.com/sjohnsrud and play with the AMAZING new virtual make-over. You can load your own picture (without color makeup but with foundation works the best) and apply all sorts of different color looks...you choose everything and the way it is applied. You can also "try on" fun new funky cool hairstyles...have you ever wondered if pink stripes would like good?? 13. If you are interested in being as enthusiastic as me about a company, winning wonderful prizes, having the opportunity to earn the use of a company car, own your own business with great tax benefits, or just in making a little extra cash I would love to share the Mary Kay business opportunity with you. Can't hurt to just listen...it could change your life as it has done for millions of other women. Sharing the opportunity only takes from 10-30 minutes. Join this month and receive a $100 rebate after placing a $600. wholesale order, ask me for details!So that is the business news. Now for my specials! I am sooo excited about the launch of both of the new compacts that I will be hosting "color and compact parties". I will be offering several party incentives. If you host a party (with at least 5 guests besides yourself...it is a good idea to invite at least 8 people) you will receive credit towards either of the compacts. In celebration of the 45th Anniversary for Mary Kay Cosmetics you will receive $45.00 off each full compact. The pro, (when empty retails for $35.) ranges from around $145. to $160., depending on what you choose to fill it with. The purse size compact (when empty retails for $18.) ranges from $52.00 to $65.50 again, depending on what you fill it with. Host a party and receive a full purse size compact and for $7.50 to $20.50!!! Receive the amazing "pro" for $120. to $125!!!! Well, I will wrap things up....I really hope to hear from all of you! Let's get together for some girl time! Depending on your wants and or needs we can get together one on one and let you try our fabulous skincare products, design a custom color look, or teach a skincare class to you and your girlfriends or have a "color and compact" party. Let me know what works for you and we will find a convenient time. Thanks again for all of your support....Shannon, Independent Beauty Consultant Shannon Johnsrud, Independent Beauty Consultantwww.marykay.com/sjohnsrud707.206.0697 Home650.440.0671 Cell
