Sei Bella vs. Mary Kay

Products I usually use every day:
 
                                Price with Melaleuca / Sei Bella:         Price with Mary Kay :

Facial Cleanser & Toner         (5 oz)      $   6.37              (5 oz.)     $10.00   
Daytime moisturizer                (1.7 oz)   $ 22.50              (1.8 oz)   $30.00  
Crème-to-powder foundation (  .35 oz) $ 20.00               (  .35 oz) $14.00    
Eye shadow                            (  .07 oz) $ 12.00              (  .05 oz) $  6.50
Eye liner                                 (  .04 oz) $ 10.50             (  .01 oz) $10.00
Mascara  (high volume)           (  .27 oz) $ 12.50             (  .28 oz) $15.00
Brow pencil                            (  .04 oz) $ 10.50             (  .04 oz) $10.00
Lip liner                                  (  .04 oz) $ 10.50               (  .01 oz) $10.00
Lip gloss                                 (  .05 oz) $ 12.50              (  .27 oz) $13.00
Lip balm / sunscreen                (  .15 oz) $  2.25             (  .3 oz)   $  9.50
Dry skin therapy                     (20 oz)    $ 16.00            ( 2.1 oz)  $13.00


Totals:                          (27.66 oz)  $135.62            (10.21 oz)  $141.00

(If  I bought just 25 oz of the same products with Mary Kay, I would have spent  $352.00 - ouch!)

The above Sei Bella purchases add up to 89 product points which gives me over $13 in FREE products!  But, when I buy my vitamins, cleaning products, personal care products, etc., I get enough product points to get my cosmetics for free!  (That doesn’t happen at Wal-Mart!)

Additional considerations:  Sei Bella uses pure, natural ingredients with time-released supplement- strength vitamins and antioxidants in every product.  There are never any mineral oils, harsh alcohols, formaldehydes, or any other harmful ingredients.  Mary Kay uses the harmful ingredients previously listed, with little nutritional benefit for the skin.

  1. I'm curious about the Sei Bella facial cleanser, not the bath & body, vs Mary Kay. Anyone know anything about it?

    1. Mary Kay does a 2-3 year study on each of their products comparing them with every other product out there claiming to do the same thing. If they are not preferred in their blind study test overall - they do not sell the product. They have the good housekeeping seal of approval on several of their products - which is super hard to get. They have also been recommended for people who have sensitivity to chemicals.

    2. Sei Bella is also not considered a prestige brand of product. Mary Kay is more expensive because they are compared with Estee Lauder, Clinique, Lan Comb, ect. Sei Bella isn't even up there.

    3. Sei Bella's competition is actually M.A.C., Lancôme and (realistically) Zuzu because of it's high quality and natural ingredients. I believe Mary Kay is right for some people, but for label readers, like myself, and those who are more environmentally conscious Sei Bella is a better option than even Zuzu.
