Pros

They allow me to work at my own pace and schedule. If I'm too busy during a certain semester of school, then I can just take the semester off and pick up where I left off when I go back. Also, all the cosmetics are available to me at 50% off! Your customers are your friends and family, and I've also made more friends just by working there because of the parties!

Cons

The cosmetics sell better if you have them in your inventory and so the customers don't have to wait a week for them to be shipped. This can be tough because you have to have enough money before hand (usually it's about $2000-3000) to keep the business going well.
