Chris Hansen, Independent Beauty Consultant – Mary Kay Cosmetics, will take us on a “mini-tour” of Mary Kay’s newest products — including mascara heaven that is causing quite a buzz. She’ll show us some of the fun limited-edition goodies for summer and tell us about Mary Kay’s most popular products.
What would a Mary Kay goodies demo be without… a prize drawing (or two)!
Chris believes in providing personalized customer service. She listens to the needs of her customers and helps them find the products that work the best with and for their skin, as well as colors that enhance their appearance and boost their confidence with a new look. She strives to always have the products on hand so her customers don’t have to wait.
Having previously worked in the telecommunications industry, Chris wanted to try something new and different — something that would help women feel better about themselves. She soon discovered that, although she’s pampering her customers, she gets so much more back from them. It’s a win-win (and it’s fun)!
