Mary Kay in the Bowling Green News
Enterprising student finds success with selling make-up
University senior Melina Papantoniou goes to classes, works on campus and, oh yeah, has her own business.
Two years ago, Papantoniou became an independent beauty consultant for Mary Kay Cosmetics and now she's in the qualifications stage to become director.
"Being a college student ... is one of the best jobs you can have," Papantoniou said. "With our busy schedules and everything we have going on in our lives this opportunity is extremely flexible."
Papantoniou isn't the only one who appreciates the flexible schedule Mary Kay offers. Lisa Kmiec, sophomore, who became an Independent Beauty Consultant this past fall, said she was able to take three months off from Mary Kay.
"I started in October, but I've been doing it on and off because of school," Kmiec said. "The best part of Mary Kay is really being able to do it when you want to do it or have time."
