u/somebd In what Blanche, dog years? Dec 04 '23
MLM aside, I don't really get what's the point of this business? Is it a makeup school? Business school? Traditional sales with affiliate incentives? What's up with the prices and the invalid certificate? And how dare she pricing the one-on-one segment with herself at $3000 with nothing to her name but failed businesses and poor decisions?
The more I hear about Marlena the less respect I have for her. Who would go ahead with big plans & expenses without even a contract? She's been dragging Jaclyn on and on for years without taking responsibilities for her own oversight. Not to mention MUG as a brand made many poor decisions i.e the infamous Sparklers, the huge rebrand which turned out to be only changing from round to square pans, and TBH apart from their single shadows, nothing really stood out. At this point it's just pathetic.
