This review is from: The Battle of Mary Kay (DVD)

I saw this movie when it originally aired on television as "Hell on Heels: the Battle for Mary Kay." I loved it! Shirley MacLaine (probably more atractive than Mary Kay) is wonderful in this film. Her little words of wisdom directly to the audience are great!

The movie centers on the battle between Mary Kay and BeutiControl. Parker Posey and Shannen Doherty also give great performances.

If you're looking for high drama, this movie probably isn't it. But it is a lot of fun! I love watching it. And it's very affordable. I felt that the picture and sound quality were excellent. There are no bonus features.

This is a must for fans of the great Shirley MacLaine.

This video was funny and serious at the same time. It is about the battle of Mary Kay and the founders of BeautiControl. I have been beauty consultants for both of them at different times. You will get a kick out of it if you like selling cosmetics.
