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 Spot something out of date?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.

Excellent products that are 100% guaranteed for any reason, hypoallergenic, and so very nourishing for your skin. This company cares. The sky is the limit. Great training. Free website. Payday is 3 hours after every single sale!

Bad products, bad pay, their presenters are liars and bullies, I got out of there and I will never come back, their products are overpriced, is better products on the market for one less price, and they DO NOT HAVE THE CERTIFICATION OF CRUELTY FREE !! Stop lying!!!!

I have been using Pure Romance products since 2004. I have been in and out of the company but this last time I decided I am making it. I've been in almost 2 years now! I love the company's products and mission. I love the people and everything about it. If you love a product you can share with anyone. I believe it's very important to believe in what you do and have a passion for what you sell! I will make this my full time job in less than 5 years!
