How to read this comparison

  • Starter kit is the up-front purchase to begin selling. Some companies also charge an annual renewal or a website fee; check the company page.
  • Personal commission is your cut of your own retail sales. Downline commission is what you earn on sales by people you recruit; a plan with no downline pay is single-level, one with overrides is multi-level.
  • Sales to earn the kit back divides the minimum kit by the minimum commission. It is the retail volume you must sell before the kit has paid for itself, before any other costs.
  • Most multi-level plans publish an income disclosure statement. Ask for it, and read it, before you sign. Typical participants earn far less than the top ranks.
  • Figures are company-reported and can change. Spot something out of date? Tell us.

I am a previous buyer of the Smoothies, but now I can't find a consultant in my area, or near by, is there a way I can buy on line? These are delicious and I want to buy more.

I have a PhD in material science and although beauticontrol has some great products they are NOT natural. They have some natural ingredients but still have dye, some potentially harmful chemicals, and other questionable ingredients. If you do not believe me, Google the ingredients yourself! Just don't want people believeing it's "natural". If you're okay with that, then they are a good product for the price!

BeautiControl - AWESOME products - AWESOME opportunity! The only regret I have is not joining this company sooner! Reasonably priced, clinical strength products that yield UNDENIABLE RESULTS! I love receiving compliments on my skin, make-up and fragrances and then being able to share BeautiControl. And the training and support I've received from my director AND collegues has been nothing short of phenomenal! Best decision I've ever made is to use and share these products! Be beautiful - Be you - BE BEAUTICONTROL!

I love this company! This start up kit is only $59 (wrong kit shown) and includes your choice of 4 piece skincare set. I see amazing results from the skincare and anti-aging, plus our prices can't be beat! This company has been around 35 years for a reason. The pure quality of the products, the innovation and results from the products, the consultant discounts, the heart, integrity and honesty of the company cannot be compared. The make up is top quality and large selection of foundations, eye palettes, eye shadow singles, lip colors and mascaras.
