From the high standards set for research and development to state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, the Artistry brand is an industry leader. All Artistry products are dermatologically and allergy tested.

Hi Devon,
This looks interesting although most companies do not pay 50% on the dollar like Mary Kay. Also, Mary Kay is universal and not just for one skin type and is also hypoallergenic. Therefore it is appealing to all which equals more sales. They all seem to have the same main ingredients though. I will check out Nicole's site and possibly give her a call. Thanks for the referral.

Thank you so much for doing that. Have a great day.

Devon

No problem. You too!

Naressa, Artistry is Amway's brand. (I used to be an Amway distributor many years ago.) The Artistry brand was a good product, but I'm not familiar with it since 1995 or so. However, I do believe that Mary Kay is better (and, yes, I'm biased as an Independent Consultant, but I do love our products and our business!). If you'd like to know more, please call me.

Hi Julie,
I am already a Mary Kay consultant myself and I love the product too. Not thinking about switching, but am open to learn about other things. :)

Hello!

I dont understand why Mary Kay continues to use harmful ingredients such as parabens, chemical fragrances, and petrolatum. It can be found in almost every product. There are healthier alternatives.

Hi Louisha,
Where did you hear this from? Please read below and if needed visit Mary Kay's website to view their information on Product Research and Development. Thanks.

A Quest for Quality
Once the most desirable form of a product is created and tested, the formula is produced on a large scale and packaged for shipment. Mary Kay Inc. relies on a team of highly trained scientists, chemists, technicians, quality engineers and inspectors to ensure that quality and safety standards are met or exceeded to ensure consumer satisfaction. Incoming packaging components are inspected before use, product samples are continually checked for microbiological purity, and staff and computerized systems continuously monitor production lines at the manufacturing plants.

To give you an example of the Mary Kay superior standards of quality, the quality assurance team performs on average each year:

• More than 1,000 stability studies on products.



• More than 100,000 analytical measurements of products and 250,000 measurements of packaging components.



• More than 300,000 tests on ingredients and finished goods.
