SeneGence LipSense Overview
SeneGence has a type of lipstick that they claim will last ALL day.
Along with the new lipstick is an MLM phenomenon.
If you know me by now, you’ll know I’m not a stranger to MLM programs, nor do I ever use or promote them either. But more on that in a second.
This new lipstick is called LipSense, and it distinguishes itself from the crowd by staying highly durable and lasting up to 18 hours when applied.
This is supposedly true even after exercising, kissing, drinking, eating, etc.
You know the drill, the usual activities that make your lipstick come off or smudge, making you reapply it almost every hour!
How Much Does It Cost?
LipSense will cost you $25 for the standard product. The tube of gloss is $20, while the lipstick remover is $10.
Whew, I thought you had to keep this thing on all day, but there is an actual lipstick remover.
After some thorough research, I found that the consultants usually offer discounts to try and get more sales, so it IS possible to be able to get these prices lower if you happen to find someone offering good deals.
If the distributor offers more than a 15% discount, they are likely to lose out on money, so you won’t find anyone offering more than 15%.
Just keep that in mind, because if you can get a 15% discount, that’s the cheapest price you will find unless they like you that much and are willing to give it to you for free as some sort of “sample”.
But Does LipSense Work As Claimed?
Sort off…according to many users around the web who have personally used LipSense, it has actually found to be legit and working as claimed by the manufacturers.
However, don’t expect it to last exactly 18 hours, or even close to that for that matter.
It will start to wear off about the 8-10 hour mark, but other than that, everything else about the product works as promised.
When you drink, there’s nothing left on the cup.
When you kiss your spouse, there’s absolutely NO residue on him.
Furthermore, the humidity/heat doesn’t cause the lipstick to smudge or smear either!
Keep in mind: Due to the gloss being mostly made of butter, when you first apply it to your lips, it will come off. But after a few minutes, you won’t have to worry about that happening.
Compensation Plan For SeneGence International
Yes, they offer a compensation/MLM plan. This is called SeneGence International.
The company has been going since 1999 and their sole mission is to empower women by providing products that actually work and a home-based business that they can make a full-time job out of.
And that’s where the compensation plan comes in, which gives the chance for women to sell these products that they know and trust to work.
First and foremost, you have to make your first order before you can become a distributor which is about standard with most MLMs.
And if you want to take it even further, spending roughly $150 will earn you the Qualified Distributor status.
Product Sales
If you choose to sell the LipStick, you have to purchase it at a discount price, then sell it at the retail price to earn your profit.
Downline
You can recruit people and build up a downline of workers for you.
For every sale they make, you earn 5-30% of their earnings, depending on how many levels deep the sale was made.
Level 1 is 30% and level 5 is 5%.
Who SeneGence Is For
If you’re interested in getting the LipSense lipstick, then by all means give it a try.
As this website has been running for many years, and in that amount of time thousands of women have used this lipstick and gained the benefits that it has to offer.
If you’re sick and tired of having to reapply your lipstick ever hour, and you want one that will last for AT LEAST 8-10 hours, then it is for you.
However, if you are looking to join the compensation plan, I do not recommend it one bit. But I’ll tell you more about that in a second.
Pricing & Purchase Details
If you want to purchase the lipstick, you will have to pay the full price, which is $55. This will pay for a New Distributor Kit as well as the application fee.
The Distributor Kit includes training items such as: DVDs, CD’s, printed materials, and a distributor handbook.
You will then qualify as a distributor.
Otherwise, if you just want to purchase the LipSense lipstick, if you don’t care about becoming a distributor, you can find someone who’s offering a discount and get it for much cheaper.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- The lipstick works as promised by the company
Cons
- No guarantee of earnings with the compensation plan
- A lot of competition
- Will need to be experienced in marketing to know how to sell these types of products
- It’s not easy to manage your team and get them to be actively selling (because obviously you’ll be earning a % of what they sell)
- It is not a viable business opportunity for newbies who don’t have ANY marketing experience (both real life and online)
So is SeneGence a Scam?
Not a scam and with the fact that they’ve been operating since 1999 says a lot about this company.
This reminds me of Amway as they’ve been around for quite some time, and I’m sure they are not out to take your money.
There’s decent products and there’s a chance that you can make some money.
Some people may think all MLMs are pyramid schemes, but I think there are some legit owners that are really looking out for other people.
Do I recommend SeneGence?
Probably not, but that’s just me.
I just don’t dig the whole recruiting thing.
What I Really Think
I think this is great for women who especially love to use lipstick and makeup as this would be an easy sale.
Now if you guys out there are thinking about becoming a SeneGence distributor, you could do it, but I’m sure you can find something better that will suit your lifestyle.
For those of you that are looking to make money online you need to try some good old affiliate marketing.
I have been doing it for 3 years and it is by far the best business model online.
I believe affiliate marketing will always beat MLM no matter what product they promote.
Other than that, you ladies can enjoy your LipSense, as I think this is better than working ANY 9-5.
You might also be interested in Lularoe (clothing), which is another MLM that’s great for women, or maybe even some Longaberger, if fancy baskets are your thing.
I do hope that this SeneGence Lipsense review has helped you regardless of what gender you may be and I’m sure whatever decision you make, it will be a wise one.
Thanks for reading and good luck!

Thanks for your honest review. I’ve been wearing Lipsense for more than a year and love it. I wear it all day every day and it does last long.
Yeah I know for a fact that it is really hard to come off! lol. They do have the little removal thing so you don’t have to sleep with it on. I’m glad you’re enjoying things with LipSense Janet!
