That was a great reply Traci.
"Sick of Being Used", have you spoken to your SIL about this? Have you told her to stop talking soooooo much about her products and what people are saying about her? I am sorry you are having such issues with all of the "direct sales ladies" in your life as well.
I do not use Arbonne but I am one of those "direct sales ladies". I try never to bug people or harass them. I love the products I sell and I love to educate people about them but I always try to never overdue when someone is not interested. I must say that direct sales IS a great way to make extra money. I do not see that all direct sales people are trying to take advantage of others nor do I think that is your SIL's intention. I think it is more of the fact that maybe your SIL is trying to open your eyes to SEE what she SEES, which is to use a great product and get paid for it. Try looking at it from her eyes. She must love her product...that is a given or she would not be selling it...right? Add in the fact that she is getting paid to use her products and to recommend them to others knowing that those products may help them to look great. In her eyes, she is trying to help people to feel good about themselves and to help them make some extra money too. Unfortunatly, she is missing the fact that not all people can SEE what she SEES.
I do feel that over the counter products are not the same. I have used expensive over the counter products and have not gotten the same results that I have gotten using a higher quality product. Of course, that does not mean that you will not find a high quality product that is over the counter, it is just my opinion that to find one you will be paying alot more money than you would if you bought it through a direct sales person.
Good luck with your SIL!!
Hi Pamela,
Skintoxicated answered your question beautifully. Seriesse does offer different colors than Serious Skin Care. Also, we are frequently asked how Seriesse International is different from Serious Skin Care. The differences are many, but here’s a summary for you:
The Opportunity: Seriesse offers every individual a chance to create their own business. The SuccessePlan is one of the best compensation plans you can find in the network marketing industry. Architected by a leading and well-known company, Sheffield Resources Network, the Seriesse compensation plan provides an earning opportunity at whatever level you choose. Serious Skin Care, on the other hand, is sold only through the Home Shopping Network and does not offer a business opportunity.
NVesse-24: An invisible shield that locks in moisture and defends the skin from the environment, this key formulation helps protect the beneficial ingredients found inside our skin care products from degrading when exposed to heat, oxygen, and light. NVesse-24 is manufactured with expensive ingredients that cannot be used for the Serious Skin Care line as they do not fit the value pricing model of the HSN distribution channel.
Our Product line: Green Tea Antioxidant Amplifier, S-Force – Sylvester Stallone’s nutritional line, Zero Fade Shampoo + Conditioner, and Firmesse. All of these products are available exclusively through our Seriesse International Independent Consultants.
The shopping experience: Our customers have the benefit of having products demonstrated by a Seriesse Independent Consultant, who can provide guidance as to which products would work best for their skin, what colors are right for them, and why S-Force is the best in nutrition…it’s the ultimate in Customer Service!

Hi Skintoxicated,
Thank you for the review of Seriesse S.I. Minerale Foundation. I have been using mineral makeup for a few years now, so I was very excited when Seriesse introduced it's S.I. Minerale line. I love this line, although, I may be predjudice being that I am a Seriesse consultant. My mom, however, is not a consultant. She is in her early 60's and has always hated putting any type of powder on her face. I MADE her try this foundation...Hey, I already had it, it didn't cost her anything just to try it, right? Reluctantly, she did try it. Well.....she LOVES it! Now it is the only foundation she will use. I think this foundation is fantastic as well as the dome lid! Great review!
Thank You,
