Dallas -- Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant Emilie Rawlings of Ithaca, NY has earned the use of a new Chevy Cruze in January as a result of her outstanding achievements in her Mary Kay business.

Rawlings will take delivery of the new Chevy Cruze, her First Mary Kay career car, in March 2016.  Mary Kay independent sales force members earn the use of a career car by meeting or exceeding goals set within their Mary Kay businesses.

"It's amazing to represent a company that rewards it's sales force with the use of a FREE CAR," said Rawlings. " All because I am sharing products that I am passionate about, and an opportunity that I believe is unparalleled in it's freedom and potential."

The Career Car Program includes the Chevy Cruze in white or red, Chevy Equinox crossover in black, Toyota Camry in black, BMW320i in black and the iconic and coveted pearlized pink Cadillac, a signature color to the Mary Kay career car program.

"Cars earned by the independent sales force through this exciting program serve as a symbol of their hard-work and success in their Mary Kay businesses," said Darrell Overcash, president of Mary Kay Inc. U.S. "For 50 years, Mary Kay has continued to provide a rewarding opportunity selling irresistible products, changing the lives of women around the world."

Since the Mary Kay Career Car Program's inception in 1969, more than 144,000 independent sales force members have qualified or re-qualified to earn the use of a Mary Kay career car. Currently, 6,032 Mary Kay career cars are on the road nationwide.

In February Rawlings of Ithaca, NY has achieved the status of Mary Kay Independent Sales Director by exceeding sales and team building goals set within her Mary Kay business

Rawlings began her Mary Kay business as an Independent Beauty Consultant in August 2015 and as a direct result of her business acumen, sales and team building, she has achieved the status of Independent Sales Director.  As an Independent Sales Director, she will provide education, leadership and motivation to other Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants and offer her customers a personalized beauty experience with the irresistible Mary Kay products.

"I am honored to be leading the Em-Powered Unit," said Rawlings. "Mary Kay has been around for 52 years, and it's philosophy of enriching women's lives has proven timeless. I could not have done it without the belief and hard work of my unit members, the guidance of my Executive Senior Sales Director (Kathy Rosetti), and Senior Director (Rhonda Berry) and the undying support of my husband and my children. It has truly been a team effort. This is only the beginning!"

"Mary Kay Independent Sales Directors emerge as leaders and mentors amongst the independent sales force," said Darrell Overcash, president of Mary Kay Inc.
