Is Limelife by Alcone a Pyramid Scheme?

So is it a pyramid scheme. Recently "The Dream" a podcast by Jane Marie investigates Limelife by Alcone by sending a reporter undercover. The results are alarming, disturbing even, but not necessarily conclusive as to the question of whether or not Limelife by Alcone is a pyramid scheme.



I've got a list of reasons why I believe that Limelife by Alcone looks like a pyramid and a few reasons why I have problems with their business model, that raise several red flags. Watch my video and see what I think.


I Don't Want to be a Beauty Guide with Limelight by Alcone


Despite spending the last six months obsessed with the company and the products, I decided that I do not want to be a Beauty Guide with Limelight by Alcone. I will not enroll with them. And here's why...

1.  Too many night phone calls and meetings.  I just don't want to be bothered by them.  I like my nights to myself.
2.  I want my freedom to post what I want and not constantly be super positive and excited about my "business" venture.
3.  I will annoy my friends and family with constantly posting about makeup. What if everyone on Facebook was trying to sell you something?
4.  When I contact old friends, I don't want them thinking that I am just trying to sell makeup to them. And worse, what if I was.
5.  I don't know enough people on facebook to make the required sales, so I would have to meet new people.
6.  My friends live far from me, and I want them to be able to try the products before they buy.
7.  I'm not a makeup artist and look like an idiot when making videos.
8.  It's a pyramid scheme.
9.  While the products are great, they are overpriced and hard to use. I wouldn't feel right selling them to my own mother and best friends.
10.  I don't feel excited about telling people, "I sell makeup for Avon, I mean Limelight"

But, I still love their products. So yes, I'll just continue to purchase them from my sister-in-law, Sheila. But I’m not going to be a beauty guide ever.  Final decision.

Limelight in the Mail - Using Social Media to Sell

Well, it's been three weeks since I ordered the botanical foundation from Limelight by Alcone.  It finally shipped.  It's in the mail and I am patiently waiting.  I have heard that they are moving to a new warehouse and are working to get this problem resolved.  I certainly hope so!
Three weeks is far too long to wait.

In the meantime, I have been working on my social media plan and have been using Revlon Colorstay while I await my Limelight foundation; I'm chalky. Check it out...
