Why I QUIT SeneGence (LipSense)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лис 2017
- After months of people asking me about why I quit SeneGence, I decided to sit down and make a video. It is pretty raw, I didn't have anything written down and I am a little bit of a hot mess! But I am hoping it answers some questions for people.

Thank you for your honesty in this video and for posting it! I’ve had an unbelievably horrible experience with LipSense and SeneGence.
Can’t wait to hear what the new product you found is!
I am so sorry you had a horrible experience! Many people have :( But yes, I am excited to start showing all my new finds! thanks for following along!!
Me too, but I do love the colors because of my business and speaking to a lot of women. I need lip color to stay for a long time.
i’m so glad you made this video so I don’t feel like I’m the only one who fell into this
There were a lot of unanswered questions I had and you were spot on. Great video!
Thank you so much for watching!! I'm glad I could answer some questions!
Sorry everything happened the way it did. Glad you made the video. I don’t sell so I was unaware of the issues but it sounds like other direct sales makeup companies as far as the business side goes. As for the products I agree there are those that either love/hate it. Best of luck on your new ventures.
BTW it is against federal consumer law for a company to charge your credit card before you have received product. I know most of us have accepted the practice, but what she is describing about not having received product for three months is part of the reason why it is illegal.
Love how honest you are!!
I never had these issues. I think she just didn't read her backoffice inf.
I also quit LipSense after several disappointments with the company. It just wasn't worth it to me to go into that much debt and I had issues with how corporate was handling the OOS issues and recruitment of new distributors. I found your honesty very refreshing and greatly appreciate you posting this video.
Was looking for Senegence/Lipsense reviews before I invest in the product... first video I've seen of yours and I'm loving how honest you are! Also you're very pretty! :)
You were so kind and honest about your experience.
I'm sorry you had to go through that bad experience. I know you posted this video two years ago. Hope everything is well for you now.
Thanks for sharing. This is very useful for those who are considering to become a distributor.
This is good to hear, thank you. I have always been curious about their business model. I am glad that the MLM I do business with does not require its consultants to purchase and stock products in order to sell. I simply share the products that I love and help people buy them online (like amazon). No cost incurred to me.
You have been misinformed. SeneGence does NOT require anyone to purchase anything up front. It is the choice of the distributor. A lot of these comments are very misleading.
Thank you for your openness and honesty. I've been a makeup artist for 8 years now and I've been HOUNDED by "distributors". So.... I reviewed one- and complained about the alcohol taste. After my first review I got bombarded by people saying "You applied it wrong", "you're being dramatic".....
Not trying to self promote, but I did 2 videos on this, literally posted my 2nd one yesterday. It's so nice to hear you say these things.
Ugh I am so sorry! Honestly people just need to respect the fact that it doesn't work for everyone!
Stefanie Green you have no reason to apologize, darlin! I ended up just saying "look. I'm 36. I've been playing with makeup since I was 2, been wearing it daily since I was 11. Been a pro artist for 8 years. Makeup should not be this difficult. No one should have to 're-learn' how to apply lipstick JUST to use it. Nope nope nope nope!!!" 😂😂
Ha ha I totally agree!
What brand of lipstick are you using? Have you tried Thrive?
Never purchased Senegence due to wand issues, lip issues, out of stock etc. you look good with the makeup you are using.
I'm SO happy you made this video
I sell lipsense (kinda). I'm not like a top seller it is just kind of on the side. But you touched on a lot of things that I agree with. The packaging is horrible! And the fees (S,H,T). I joined to get the discount but you have no discount after all the fees. I still love lipsense though. It might wear off what time I don't know but for me I have OCD and the not transferring of lipstick to my coffee cup while at work is what sold me. I appreciate your honesty at this video though.
Yes! Lipsense definitely has it's uses for a lot of people! I forgot to mention in this video, it only lasted on me a good 4 hours which I can get from tons of other products!
I actually signed up to get the discount for myself. I may or may not host a party. Either way I am still paying for the products & have to try a lot of them before I go bragging on how fantastic they are. I don't really like pushing a product on somebody that cannot afford the products. I never liked that.
What are all of these fees? Maybe things have changed.
GIRLLL!! Thank you for posting this video... glad to see I’m not alone! I’m a current distributor on the fence 😬 just because I cannot fully get behind all of the products! Like you said, I like them but I just can’t love them!! Ahh. Thank you.
+Lauren Wetherbee Yeah don’t get me wrong, I think Senegence has a few great products but to fully back everything/promote/sell the entire line I just couldn’t do it!
I'm loving your makeup look !!
Thanks for sharing! I lost so much money with the company. I appreciate your openness!
I'm so sorry you lost money :(
I lost a lot of money with this company too!
I don't understand people "loosing" money. File those losses on your tax returns. Almost every business report a "loss" when starting out.
Just a heads up -- tax on shipping is a state-by-state law. In Colorado, it's the law to charge tax on shipping.
I agree with everything you are saying. I was hesitant but now I’m good! Lol thanks for the vid👌👍
I know this is a year late but WTH...First & foremost, your eye makeup - look great! (I’m hoping you have a tutorial for that specific eye!) Back to your original video...Thank you for making this video. I feel like it helps educate the general public on hierarchy/pyramid schemes that companies use, generally within cosmetics and geared towards college aged girls, to demonstrate what they can have so quickly buy doing what they love & already talk about with their friends. When I was in college, I was approached by a perfectly put together woman while standing in line at Starbucks - she said my hair & makeup were impeccable & on-trend, I looked gorgeous and asked if I wanted to come to a “beauty seminar” later that week. Being 20 years old and grinding away for my Bachelors Degree in Chicago, I didn’t hesitate to say yes...plus there were no obligations, at the time. When I got to the ‘seminar’ I quickly learned it was a Beauty Consultant Recruitment Seminar...not what I was looking forward to or anticipating. After listening to hours of information on different products, we were all given bags full of makeup, then told the cost of the bag plus the additional items being delivered to us. Not to mention what and how many items we needed to sell by when. There was no “If you are interested please stay, If not please go”; it was just a room full of unassuming women given products, whom were then given the option to Pay Now or Bill Me Later - followed by the highest success stories within the company. I only share this because most of these brands, typically makeup & jewelry, that operate on a pyramid scheme (verbiage may differ from company to company) make it so easy to become involved, but once in; leaving the company an individual usually finds it MASSIVELY difficult, frustrating, expensive, time consuming and sometimes not even worth the hassle. Again, thank you for sharing what so many others could not and doing so with class & dignity. **As a disclaimer I must say my experience was not & will not be the same as anyone else.**
Whatever is on your lips now looks great! Love that color!
+goldilocks8585 Thank you so much!! 💗
Didn't like lipsense but love the shadowsense! I just realized I could take the stopper out of my shadow tubes to get every penny worth!
Thank you for your honesty. I am about to do a wear test and a review on Senegence. I am not sure if i want to continue using them based on how they treat their reps. Hopefully the company realizes they need to change and take better care of their reps!
You're so right about the packaging. Most products that are that expensive look cute or it's unique. I personally don't care that much, but there is nothing eye catching about it. Nothing about it says I'm a $45 lipstick. I personally like how creamy lipsticks feel and look.
Thank you for posting this. I too ran into the same issues. So sad because I actually do like their products. I still wear them. I Started when everything was sold out and out of stock and I was told to buy things as they came through. It was awful. Spent over $4000, nothing really sold, the market is saturated. Could not return anything. A year later, I still have the product in a closet. I’m basically giving them away because it is lost money. It is totally a pyramid scheme. Out of those $4000 and all the other money from down lines, my upline got a very nice paycheck and a trip. Mean while, I still have debt 🤷🏽♀️
Your makeup is flawless ❤️
Wow! Interesting info about the company itself. Thanks for doing an honest video about this. I just posted a review/story myself on my negative experience with the lipsense product. I think thats why ur video popped up in my feed.
OMG thank you for this post!
What make-up are you wearing right now? It's beautiful!
So, what makeup are you wearing in this video. I love it!
I'm new and I agree with everything you said. I am especially annoyed by the out of stock issues.
Thank you for sharing! I joined senegence in may. I have yet to make my first ever sale. I am really thinking About quitting and joining Avon. Are you selling any other products from another company? Or no?
Thank you for your honesty. I'm a new distributor and I'm totally over the added fees on top of the cost of the product. I pay more than regular price on the products after all the shipping and handling fees and taxes. To top it all off, I have hardly sold anything myself... majority of the stuff i've gotten has been for me. Not a big deal but when one of my customers ordered something for her friend, I got word that her product had been stolen from the mail delivery service. People at the post office and other places that handle the SeneGence boxes see the lip tape and the logo on the box and know exactly what it is so they take it with them.
Thats unbelievable that it gets stolen at the post office or probably sometimes right from their mailboxes. I am stunned.
Thank you very much this was great. I was thinking about becoming a distributor and everyone talks about the great things but no one talks about the bad side
If there is a bad side you make it so.
Yes to up with the trends .. I want so much more products that we don’t have
And you’re right, their packaging is so old-lady. I was considering getting a starter kit because I’m a makeup artist but I don’t want to get caught up in this
I used to be a distributor too, and this video is so spot on!! I’m so glad you did a video on it. Honestly, the company is ridiculous. Thank you for posting this video!!
I quit too and got tired of having negative results . My upline thought that 2 phone calls and a couple of texts was supporting me. I made the right decision for me a completed waste of money and time! I’m waiting for a refund from the company ! Thank you for sharing
I always wondered this since I LOVE the lipsticks for work but wondered if it was good for my friend.
You look so stunning here! I was really looking forward to this video haha. I used to sell LipSense too.
You are so sweet, thank you so much ❤️ I truly didn’t prepare for this at all but finally had a minute to get my thoughts recorded!
I'm so glad you posted this! I signed up for SeneGence because I do love Lipsense. The shipping charges are INSANE!!!! It's not worth it. You have to sell a crap ton of product just make $50. Any other product I've tried hasn't been awful by any means, but I've found other products just as good or BETTER for a WAY cheaper price. As soon as my inventory is gone, I'm done. It's not worth the time. I can make more flipping burgers at McDonalds.
You can either claim the taxes on your taxes, or charge customers (making sure they know of course)
If you are looking to have your own direct sales company, without having to have inventory, you should look in to Rodan and Fields. The skincare is absolutely amazing, great customer service and the relationship building is the cherry on top. I have been partnered up with R+F for a year now. Let me know if you would like more info.
What other brands are comparable, in your opinion?
You only have to sell 1 collagen night pak and an oops remover to make $50. Pretty simple.
Did you end up with no profit at the end? Or losing money? The interest on the credit card purchases must have been an issue.
What color nail polish do you have on and are those your nails?
What makeup brands do you use now as in your lipstick etc. Just curious as your face looks fab
I’m a LipSense addict. But I have to agree with a lot of what you said. I have done well selling it and could continue to do so no problem, but I have become sick and can’t keep going. So trying to sell what I have and just keep glosses to sell and discount for myself.
Hi they just contacted me on Instagram...so I came here looking for more info. THANKYOU you saved my life! She even started the conversation by asking for a SIN card like wtf
What lipstick are you wearing now? ... just trying to throw a little humor lol... thanks for the info
I was just gonna say this 😅
Vickie I know for a fact she’s wearing SeneGence!🤣 I can see it on her face I know I sell it ! I agree with nothing she’s said. We have matte colors and no Alcohol taste rofl
Pirtle Family I actually am wearing all Younique makeup in this video.
I was wearing all Younique makeup in this video! ❤️
Stefanie Green I sold younique it’s not better
CanI just say you are so goegeoussss!
I’m glad I’m not the only one!!
Did you send product back and get a refund?
I joined as a distributor about 2 months ago. I spent about 2,000. I was told there was a 100% money back guarantee. I jumped right in and ordered all the skin care products as well. After 30 days, my face had broken out, and my skin felt like a lizard. I went to my facial gal (I've gone to her for 10 years) and she said "what have you done?" She sent me to my dermatologist, and he said the product is definitely not for mature skin and to immediately stop using it. Now I've been told that the 100% money back guarantee does not apply to Distributors. What? I'm still in shock. Any suggestions? I do love the eye and lip products, but will not be using any of the skin care products going forward. Nor will I recommend them to anyone.
I have to agree about the Cctm. My distributor hooked me in saying that the cctm was a life changer and that she couldn’t believe what it did for her and that I absolutely had to try it ASAP. So I bought an overpriced product that doesn’t provide adequate coverage for me and now my skin is breaking out like when I was a teenager. I went back to my ten dollar container of maybalene foundation that covers better and doesn’t make me break out like the cctm
Nailed EVERY SINGLE THING!!! I could have said all of these things myself.
The packaging 🤦🏼♀️
Bringing stock in (bye money)
The business was painful!!!!
I have made more money in 3 weeks with another company (I hope it’s the one your talking about 😜) than I did in an entire year with Senegence. I lost a lot of money with Senegence in a year 😭
Hello i know u made this vid a while ago but my mom is a distributor and i just don’t know how to tell her to get out of it. we’re losing tons of money but she won’t open her eyes any tips?
Yup i can 100% verify this info. I love the products. But im in credit card debt from it. The out of stocks were insane.
Hannah Chrisitianson me toooo. $6K worth! 😢😢
+Hannah Chrisitianson I’m so sorry!
+Kristin King Ugh I’m so sorry! 😣
You do realize that those losses are tax deductible, right?
Me too 😢
I have some similar issues with it...recently, all of the lipsense that I'm buying is SO thin that it goes on in streaks no matter what so I have several I won't wear, which sucks.
You need to shake it up really good. If it is a dark color take the wand and go back and forth and that will mix up the color.
I quit too! As I was mailing packages on a Saturday morning 7 months into my journey, I realized this was not what I wanted to do with my life. My family was taking a backseat and I was sick of being in debt (from trying to take advantage of that 50% discount).
I even had 14 girls under me but wasn't ever making more than $200 a month from commission (had to spend that much just to get paid anyways...) When I decided to swallow my pride and quit, I sold my stock at deep discount in less than a week! It feels so good to be free!
If you want to save money, don't sign up for an account - join a going out of business FB group. There are tons of women trying to dig themselves out of debt. I hate companies like this that prey on women. Don't drink the koolaid. I quit direct sales.
sarahmueller.fit I’ve been looking into options to get rid of my stock. I’ve heard you can sell it back to the company but can you recommend the page you used to sell your products when you quit
I am so glad I saw your comment. I was in direct sales a few years ago (Skinny Fiber/SBC) and even though I was fairly advanced and a team leader, I struggled to cover my autoship! I recently became disabled and had to leave my job. I am looking into going back into sales (but without an autoship). I still will be dealing with chasing sales and returns and MLM/direct sales headaches. But my gut says no and then I saw this video and your comment randomly! There has to be a better way! Maybe Poshmark or eBay and Amazon reselling. Not sure. Thanks to both of you ladies for helping me decide! ❤
U hit the nail in the head girl
Tandi Caldwell try coloring! It’s an affiliate program!! bit.ly/2LhKz2T
I do direct sales but I feel like it depends on the company as well. Paparazzi Accessories treats us well if anyone wants info let me know sapphiresboutique.com
I joined in the midst of the out of stock issue. It was the consensus of all the distributors I talked with to buy as much as you could whenever there was stock. It was insane. I now have all sorts of stock - stuff that is not selling at all. I do make sales, I do love the product, I am not great at selling, but do have loyal customers. NO ONE wants to sign up, NO ONE wants to have a party. I have done kiosks in the mall (I think I did it 8 times spread over 3 malls) didn't even sell enough to cover the cost of the rental of the kiosk. I believe originally people would sell the product, get the money THEN order the product for the customer - in that respect, you WILL see the profit.....but with the out of stock issue, distributors bought whatever was available and you end up with stuff that just doesn't sell!!! and in debt! Sometimes I think I am my own best customer, ha! Also, yes, the shipping and handling is ridiculous. I have days I am excited about the business, I have days I decide to quit. I am giving it a year - will reassess and hope that I have paid off some of my debt by then! One other thing - attached on the side of this youtube video was a girl selling LipSense for $.99!! I know she will eventually get caught but WHAT???
don’t give it a single day! a year is too long
Hey girl! I feel like you did a good job being honest in a kind way. 😀 I know a lot of distributors were very frustrated during the OOS time. I wanted to address the tax on shipping/handling fees in case you ever need this info in the future, but some states, like Texas for example, actually require businesses to tax on shipping and handling as well, so SeneGence wasn’t being shady. Trust me, it’s SO annoying. I HATE paying those extra fees, which is why I looked into it and sure enough, it’s a state requirement and will be different depending on where you live. Taxes. 😬
Just wondering what you use for makeup now? Thanks
+Furious_ Gamer Hey! In this video I am wearing all Younique!! But I love and use mostly Younique and colourpop!
Appreciate your honesty!! Girl I need you on my team. If you are ever interested in children’s books let me know💜
I love all the products, and I sell it. So now everyone just wears it for pictures. Luckily some things have been improved formulation wise or else I wouldn't be selling or wearing certain things. They needed to improve, and they're doing so. I went through the OOS and not being able to get a hold of home office but those things have changed too. Hopefully for the sake of active distributors things continue to improve. The skin care rid me of hormonal/cystic acne, I really couldn't be happier with everything.
Wait, but I want an update! What company did you join? Are you liking it?
I appreciate your honesty in this! I’ve been selling lipsense for over a year and have been thinking about getting out of it. I’ve fallen out of love with the products and when I look back over the last year I’m not even sure I’ve made any money... this helped me a lot, thank you again
Amen sister! I had the exact same experience!
What lipstick are you wearing in this video?
Sounds a lot like lularoe.
With regards to having to reapply the gloss, I enjoy the product because unlike reapplying lippy I don't need a mirror or to be particularly careful. Thanks for your other comments though, I was dabbling with becoming a distributor but I won't now 😊
Don't make you decision on one unsuccessful person. Hang around successful people.
I love it!!!
Im kind of glad you made this video. about 5 years ago when I lived in LA I was introduced to Lipsense through my esthetician. Who became a friend. During that time the company was still quite unheard of. I tried the products and didn't LOVE them. Like the alcohol taste/burn. etc. BUT i did like that i could wear it all day. However, all the products i have were given to me never paid for. During this time I had the opportunity to meet the founder of senegence. After meeting her, i knew I could never purchase the product. She was one of the most rude, self serving people I have ever met.
A Little Bit Biscardi do tell
We need more evidence to believe you 😉
Wow, I don't know what you experienced, but Joni is the kindest person you would ever want to meet.
Thank you for being honest
I just signed up to be a distributor. Thanks for your honesty!
What is the brand you are wearing now in the video?
+Belinda Channel I am wearing all Younique ☺️
I was literally just introduced to lipsense over the weekend. A friend had an online party on FB...anyway, nobody mentioned the alcohol taste or burn. I don't use products with alcohol...that already bothers me. I'm worried the shadows won't be as vibrant as the swatches either...I just paid my invoice yesterday, so it's a wait game now. They say there is a money back guarantee now...we shall see. Thanks for the honest video.
Now I am worried about lip-sense I wanted to buy it because it was the only waterproof lipstick that I thought was good ( I am synchronized swimmer) but now I am not sure and it's expeniseve. Do you have any other good waterproof lipstick. I love your video and how honest you were and I can relate.
Read my above comments, though the company has disappointed me, the products have not. I do have to reapply my lip sense about eery 4 hours but still love it!
I love lipsense. I'm in the lip lounge on fb if you ever need. #378725
+Super Girl honestly girl, lipsense will be the only lipstick that will work for you in the water!
I could not agree more! I quit for the same exact reasons!
I’d like to respond to “Allie Bagz” post regarding the sales strategy of SeneGence : “NO company makes YOU purchase their products to resell.....which in turn makes this a pyramid scheme....” With SeneGence you can sell their products with no physical product to show your customers. However, to be a distributor you MUST buy products and it’s the only way ANYBODY can buy products.The company claims you can start “your business” with just $55.00 but, to buy the products as a distributor you have to order a minimum or you will have to sacrifice a % of your discount which makes your income reduced. What they do is make you think you’re at the cusp of making a lot of money in an up-start company selling quality products that will literally “fly off the shelves”. In reality, SeneGence has been in business for well over 25 years......hardly a ground floor company. How SeneGence is making money as a company is to push hard to sign up as many distributors as you can and distributors under you doing the same thing. In actuality, they are making money off of distributors.....not from an actual customer base buying their products. It’s the epitome of a pyramid scheme. I have $2000.00 + in products that I can’t unload without going through a “can’t stop the bleeding” losing battle. SeneGence has amazing products that I use to this day. But, they don’t go the route other companies (Avon) do to make a profit. They are greedy without shame. The distributors are paying the price for it. THIS IS A PYRAMID BUSINESS MODEL! Buy into it at your own risk. You have been warned.
can I ask what you are wearing on your lips?!? And what is your new adventure, didnt see another video posted.
Jamie Costales ditto! That lipstick she is wearing is great
She's wearing a lipstick from Younique, and it's two colors in one tube, so one on the outside is darker and inside is lighter.
That's why I quit ! The out of stock situation was ridiculous !
I would love to hear what new products you are using. Please let us know.
I definitely will!!
I was just about to ask! I love your makeup!
Stefanie Green what did you find ?
can I ask what products you do stand by in the lipsense? I don't want to buy something if it doesn't work. my main interest is the climate control, & collage night pak? I would love your honest feedback?
Im a distributor. To be honest youll have better luck with their senederm cleansers and moisture before the collage pak. The climate i haven't tried yet so im unsure
What types of lip color do you use now? I prefer things that stick to my lips because Im just not that careful if a person. I really liked the Maybeline 24 hour, but I decided to stop using it because of personal reasons. Lipsense seemed like a better version, so I tried it, but I'm not a fan of the gloss. I also tried Tarte's lip paint, but where my lips are so dry it didn't look well. I feel like I'm just wasting a bunch of money.
Jesse Curtis Liplast is a great product. Check out: www.shinecosmetics.com/?afmc=Jafeth10.
If you want to try it let me know and I’ll give you a 10% discount.
+Jesse Curtis Honestly my favorite lipsticks are the Colourpop “satin” liquid lipsticks! They are $6 long lasting and feel really comfortable on the lips!
How did you get rid of your stock?!? I stopped advertising but I still have a ton of stock left..
+Alexsandra Kuzmin I sold my stock at barely above cost and I got rid of it all in about 2 weeks!
I have a ton of products too and need to get my money back , I called the company and got a runaround about returns and 20% restocking charges, as if they didn't make enough money.
They will buy your stock back.
@@stefaniegreen906 That is why you went out of business. You were not honest. You are not to sell product below 15% off. Not nice.
@@ladylight2222 It is 10% restock.
Also I paid for a year to have a senesite for customers it never worked my site was always screwed up and would never load for customers and they kept saying they’ll fix it but never did
Website is free now
I joined only to buy my own product only to realize that I didn't want to have a schedule to apply my lip gloss 24/7! I still am a Mary Kay girl and will always be!
Hey what's the new company you joined?
I just finally finished selling nearly the rest of my stock.. Same, put on my credit card to get the best discount then could barely sell it. I did shows and events.. there was interest but hardly any purchases. I still use their liquid eye liner but I usually buy from others that have realized what a sink hole they fell into.
what lipstick are you wearing right now in your video? i love the matte look!
All of these things happened to me too! So frustrating!
I totally agree about this. I’ve barely done anything since I became a distributor and I’m not going to renew it. I’ve realized I can’t tell people to buy these products because for every day life they aren’t that great. People have asked me about the eye makeup and I won’t let them buy it because it’s crap. It just really bothers me. LipSense is fine but for the price when I can buy something so magical like Jeffree Star that I always get complimented on and it’s comfortable and matte AND cheaper like why. It’s not that hard to carry a small pack of makeup remover wipes and reapply in the bathroom.
If you have barely done anything, then you won't be selling. It's called WORK hard.
I am not a distributor but I buy from one who shows me how to use it and lets me try before I buy. She has taught me how to use the eyeshadow and it is amazing. Applies easier and quicker than powder eyeshadow without any flake off and it stays perfect until removed. The new eyeliner pencil is amazing - so smooth and easy to apply. The liquid eyeliner is great too but not as quick for me. The new mascara is awesome - I've never had a mascara apply so easily and look so great while growing my eyelashes. Here is one of her videos if anyone wants to see how awesome the eye makeup really is. facebook.com/search/top/?q=stay%20all%20day%20beauty%20💕by%20morgan&epa=SEARCH_BOX
Thank you so much. I was just hired this week. After watching this video and others. I’m now on the fence. What gets me is what the owner Joni (I believe that’s how you spell her name) says to get a credit card or get a loan from your bank or family or friends to sell this stuff. She’s saying to me to go into debt by selling this product.
was this the last video you made? what was the next company you tried?
that's what I'm wondering as well.
Wish I had seen this before I became a distributor.
I am quitting too... For, pretty much, the same reasons.
My sister sells lipsense and really loves it, so I’ve bought a fair bit from her to be supportive (I also loooove makeup so any excuse to buy more 😂).
But I completely agree with your comments about wearability issues. I always forget to reapply the gloss and then it starts flaking. It also wears off my waterline super fast.
And as with most MLM, if I ever express my issues or concerns on a Facebook page etc, I get pounced on by 50 distributors telling me all the reasons why the product is fine but I’m just doing something wrong. My favourite is when they tell me I shouldn’t wear other lipstick brands, like I’m really going to throw out my whole lipstick collection 😂
Rebecca Elise so does my sister 😂
I was told all the other makeup brands were not as good too lolol. Total bs when i thought about it afterwards almost got sucked in. Thank God I had a falling out with my distributor or I would have spent more than 40
About the chapstick thing. I love my distributor but the very first thing that she told me was how bad chapstick is and that I shouldn’t use it. So that didn’t sit well with me because I truly am a chapstick addict but I was willing to give their version of chapstick a try and frankly I was not impressed at all. Maybe because I really am a chapstick addict I was jaded about it but it just didn’t do the same thing for me that chapstick does and now I feel like I have to hide my chapstick every time my distributor friend comes over lol
I agree
This is all true, and I completely agree. I’m not impressed with this company. I like the lipstick, but I think the company screwed a lot of people over.
Senegence does not handle anyone's business. They don't force anyone to buy. You handle your own business and if you got screwed over, you did it to yourself.
Interesting! Your earrings are really nice x
+Jen Scott Thank you!! They are my favorite ✨ (also they are only about $4 at Walmart 🙊)
Did anyone else know of LipSense in 2004 in the competitive dancing world? I can’t believe they haven’t changed the packaging since then!
I am a distributor but I only buy LipSense for personal use. I know you said that you wanted the creamy, matte look and Senegence just didn't offer that. Do you wear any of the LipSense products still?
I don't wear any of the LipSense products anymore!! The only senegence products I have used since May of this year are the dry to normal cleanser (until it ran out) and the eye cream (on occasion).
I don't distribute but I use it and I think that the Matte Gloss gives that look, maybe not as well as creme lipsticks, but always lasts five times longer.
Me too...because other than the lips and the tinted moisturizer- I hate the skin care and the eye shadows and the horrible mascara.
@@whitneysterk3555 I love the skin care and the eye shadows. They now have new mascara that actually thickens and grows the lashes.
Kay VanMetre Floyd I love love love the new mascara.
I completely agree!!! I was a distributor in Canada, I signed up TWICE because I didn't spend enough money in the certain time frame, and each time I didn't sell a single item, I only bought myself LipSense. I love lipsense, and I still wear it, but I can only wear it until I run out of gloss... ( if you want to try a different lipstick for way cheaper by the way, try Maybelline super stay 24 hour ones, they're SO good for low end makeup!!)
Why didn't you share with your friends and sell? I sold about $7,000 my first year and that was not all that much, but if you don't sell anything, it is because you are not sharing the products. You can't sell if you just sit at home and hope someone comes by and asked you to buy. Also just to post on Social Media if you don't go live will not work. What about events? Did you participate in events? I bet you didn't do any of these things.
I completely agree about using the tried and true maybelline whipped cream foundation. I just posted this above
I to am part of SeneGence but how exactly did you quit? Did you just stop or what? It's starting to take control of my life and my family is taking the back burner and I can't let that happen any more.
+Sarah Kirkland I got rid of all of my stock, let all my customers and team know and then I just let my account run out! Home based businesses can do that, it is so hard to balance everything! Good luck ❤️
Just don't buy anything for 6 months, and it will auto close the
If you don't want to be a distributor, just don't order anything and after six months you will be dropped.
