Where do I begin?? LIFE PIVOT!!
Most of you will know that for over 11 years I’ve shared the most gorgeous beauty products and brand, Younique. 🩷
It’s changed my life allowing me to gain back lost confidence and self esteem, to earn/work around my life and to have the most fun times with my business partners on trips abroad and conventions near and far! ✈️ I’ve also been able to help other women to learn how to build a business and support their families. I had zero experience of the direct selling/MLM industry pre-2014, but my gut feeling was to jump into this relatively new company and unknown industry because I truly felt lost in my life and needed a different direction. It paid off very well. For years. However, over the last few years this business model and type of selling has changed dramatically to the point that the work I was putting in wasn’t being rewarded and I’d started to lose my confidence again as well as a lot of my income. 😔 I considered leaving Younique, and getting a job until retirement (that’s looming closer as I seem to age faster!!). But I didn’t want to lose my time flexibility and the awesome community I’m part of. 🙌🏼 So I’ve been in turmoil for quite a while hoping for a solution, but the loyalty I have to Younique, my fabulous customers, and my team of legends that I work closely with kept me from taking that final step away. My gut told me to stay just like it told me to join Y 11 years ago. 🤩
Well. I. Have. Big. News!!! 📣📣
I wanted a change and a change is here in the form of CURATED.
What is that you might ask??
Curated is a 🆕 website platform that brings together multiple luxe beauty, wellness and lifestyle brands (inc Younique), plus many others in the pipeline waiting to be part of this ultra groundbreaking project!! Think Amazon - you buy from several brands on one website, checkout as one order and have them all shipped to you together! 🛒 👏🏼👏🏼 How cool is that? I send you my link and you can browse all the brands I’m affiliated with in one place, easy peasy. You get some pretty cool rewards too!
What does this mean for me and Younique? 💜
I’m still sharing these gorgeous products that I use and love so much through Curated, plus I will also now be sharing other beauty brands to give you (and me) more choice. Essentially I am now socially selling in the style of a creator/affiliate/influencer by offering you a place to shop in one platform, with amazing customer rewards and a loyalty program. Yay! 🙌🏼
If you’re a current customer of mine and especially if you subscribe to any of my skincare or collagen/gummies etc, you won’t have to do anything, your monthly subscription will migrate automatically - nothing changes for you. But you’ll get more now than just a discount so thanks for your loyalty and support 😍
Plus my Just Strong ambassador code will also be added to Curated if you’re interested in sportswear.
When does this all start?
From March 2nd Curated will go live and that’s when we all start to enjoy the many benefits of being a founding member of this new and exciting creator community! 🎉🎉 (Don’t wait to jump in, the sooner the better!)
You might wonder 🤔 about the other side of my Younique business - team building/recruiting/sponsoring.
As we are no longer an MLM company, that side is over now. Though I still get paid on my current team’s sales as I did before which is brilliant. 😊
How does the referral process work you may ask? ❓
So I give you a referral link for Curated, you join FOR FREE, getting your own website and the ability to choose which brands you want to sell, and you can start referring people too once your application has been approved (and get paid a % on their sales).
This is the way forward for social selling, the old way wasn’t working anymore and sadly I’ve seen so many other network marketing/MLM companies close over the last few years because this industry has morphed into something new. I’m so grateful that my CEO Derek Maxfield has got not only the vision, but the nerdy ability to pivot and create something unique and exciting that’s current for us all to be able to tap into the new world of online selling. There’s so many other benefits as well as earning from sending out codes, like fantastic rewards and free trips 🏖️ to be earned too. I can’t wait to get started! 👏🏼🙌🏼🤩😍
I’m more than ready for this new era and am so glad I trusted my instinct to sit tight, ride the waves of change and uncertainty, knowing that Derek wouldn’t steer us wrong. Hurrah!
If you’re an ex-Y gal or you’ve previously been in NM/MLM and miss it or want to do it a different way, or you just want to hear more about how you could be part of this ground floor adventure, drop me a 🩷 or say CURATED in the comments or DM me for deets.
Thanks for sticking with me, thanks for all the support over the years and please know that we still continue to donate to multiple charities from Younique profits. 🙌🏼
