Dead Sea Products Seacrets Kiosk

I love Seacret products, so much so that I decided to become more than a customer and decided to start selling the products as well. Why not… I get huge discounts on products that I love to use and make money at the same time. I’ll admit, the cost of the products at kiosks is a little ridiculous which is why I started buying my products online. One product may cost $ 60, but if you enroll in the VIP program, you can get bundles of items, usually 3 for $ 60 and you can get two additional items at 25% off. You get points for your orders and use them towards future purchases and you get a free gift on your birthday. It’s really hard to beat a deal like that. Feel free to browse various products at

These people should be locked up for their scamming and manipulative ways.
It appears that they renamed their store front «Adore» cosmetics probably to confuse/​fool people because of all of the negative reviews here on Unilocal.
Here is the link to their storefront home page, that surprisingly has good reviews… I am assuming these poor customers don’t know any better or the company has written the positive reviews themselves. I wouldn’t put anything past them.
DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS and if you already did go back and demand your money back. They claim it is organic product but it is not USGA certified– watching how fake they are with everyone who they drag in the door at the SF shop Lord only knows what the «Dead Sea» product is actually made out of. It burned my face. I am not sure how they sleep at night lying to people? I had a bad feeling about them after I first got lured into their deceitful shop. My intuitions were correct as I have read through all of these reviews and had the same experience. I feel absolutely violated after dealing with these people and If you have had a similar experience as me I advise you to contact the better business Bureau 1000 Broadway #625, Oakland, CA 94 607

They claim to be from the Israel Dead Sea region. Truth is many are Roma people, also known as Gypsies. They claim that this Israeli sea salt has magical healing properties. Total hogwash.

I hear lots of people don’t like the seacret employees. I have a blast with them. First of all you need to know the value of what they are selling then flat out tell them what your willing to pay and if they can’t do it walk off. Don’t complain because you feel you got ripped off. Do your homework first and go from there. I have bought several things from them for a really good price doing it that way. I love there products

WARNING: Dont be Fooled! This place will SCAM you! The desperate people that work here are trained to Annoy you & try to Grab your Attention as you walk by. They do this Stupid Demo on your skin & try to sell you their Rubbish Skin Care Products & steal your Money, you’d be a fool to let them. Their products are nonsense crap!
Its more Entertaining to Play Games with them & for their Sheer DESPERATION I give them 1 Star! XO!

Can anyone explain how they are able to get away with this?
Who is allowing them to sell these products, and what does it says about the management at Westfield?
Is this a depiction of what merchantability has become in the US?

I thought this place was pretty good! Sure the lady was a little gimmicky, but she’s just doing her job and they are just making a living. I never stop at Kiosks and I did this one. Sure you get a little pushed into buying the product, but the lady only showed me products that fit my needs (I was looking for face care already.) I really like the sea salt and the face peel. If you have ever worked in sales you would know some of the tricks behind it. So I don’t mind the «we’ll give you a discount» even though you know it’s cheaper then the first price they say. I will say they are over priced but I love my stuff and would go back for something new to try. (Given I will have to talk them down lol).

Everything bad I’ve read on here is that the sales people are aggressive, annoying, and wouldn’t leave you alone — which is probably all true. I bought mine online and I’ve loved the product itself (then again I wasn’t haunted down by someone at the mall). The sea salt scrub makes my skin soooo soft and I love love love the face mask. My suggestion if you are looking for a new face stuff this stuff works great! Just don’t buy it at the mall. and look around for different prices because I read from other reviews that a lot of people have been paying different prices.

I must be clear I am only using the free sample I got today… I explained that I was not prepared to purchase until I see the effect over the next couple of days… but my experience with the young man was only positive… I don’t have a lot of money to spent on such items, being on social security… and my friend and I really were just walking in the mall for a little exercise… while igor was forceful… he remained polite and charming… so much so that I’m researching the product… that’s how I came upon this site… I don’t understand the negativity here… it is a just a sales spiel… if you want it you buy… if not… don’t…won’t make my decision yet… meanwhile looking at alternative place to purchase which seem much, much cheaper

«$ 600 for a tube of serum.»
«Another $ 600 for a vial of mask.»
«30% off.»
We were buying gifts for in-​laws and they had asked for this stuff specifically so we didn’t even blink. Of course there was no sign that stated there were no refunds. Admittedly, we were quite pleased with ourselves thinking we had saved a couple hundred bucks with the 30% off.
But then reality sets in and we do a little research on-​line. And guess what: we ended up paying 400% more for the serum and the mask than in any decent on-​line store. That’s paying 400% more to be scammed by these crooks. That’s 400% more for false smiles and promises.
So of course we go back. Who wouldn’t? And we demand a refund…
«Why? What’s the problem? You don’t like me?»
«I can’t refund without my manager’s approval.»
«He’s in the mall somewhere.»
«Oh he’s actually eating right now. You don’t mind waiting?»
After 20 minutes of waiting, the «manager» walks up to us. He points out that the receipt says there’s no refunds. He says we should call their customer service line if we want to get this resolved. At this point we start telling the other customers what’s going on and how these guys were marking up the price over 400% and how they wouldn’t even give a refund. Now the manager’s on the phone and he looks at us talking to his customers while he speaks quickly into his cell. We’re into it now and while the employees are coming up to people walking by trying to give out samples, we’re right next to them telling them about how we just got scammed. It’s quite a spectacle.
Then the manager puts down his cell, walks over to the cash register, pulls out some money, and hands it to us, and says…
«Here’s $ 300. That’s coming out of my pocket. You can keep the serum and mask. Will you please just leave now?»
In then end, we wasted an hour of time, and a few hundred dollars, just to be paid hush money to keep our mouths shut about their little scam.
So happy new year. If you’re going to buy this stuff from these asswitches, take heed and don’t be afraid to ask for 60−80% off the asking price. By the time you read this, they’ll be desperate enough to take it.

I certainly agree with all the others posts re: pushy salesperson ’ I like you so much…’ ‘you are so much fun to be with…’ ‘wait, come back here…’ ‘I have to show you one more thing… ’ ‘who is someone that is important to you in your life?’ «Come here, I just want you to try this on your face…» I actually sat there while she put this dark stuff on my face. My face, in that spot felt pretty good all day but not the next morning– and she told me I would only have to use this black stuff once a month.
I actually bought something for cuticles because I needed something more. And I did walk away with the body lotion from the kit the salesperson was tying to push– she told me I was getting a gift and I said ‘NO, NO GIFT!” Eventually she just dumped it into one of my bags. I was at the Fashion Outlets in Rosemont, Illinois

I fell to their prey in Atlanta. Luckily, I bought a minimum of product. An hour later, when I learned she charged me double AFTER 2 50% off discounts and throwing product in for free, I went back to the mall to return it. Of course, they said there are no refunds and no exchanges. I asked where that sign was and she pointed to it put away behind the counter and said they did not have it out for today. She also had me sign the charge on the computer so I conveniently did not get a paper receipt where it said ‘no returns’. But even if I did get it, the receipt that says it is AFTER the sale!
After the two-​faced sales lady and manager said no refunds no matter what, I called American Express on the spot. I explained the situation and being THE card company to stand behind their customers they said the charge would be refuted. When they asked to speak to the sales person she declined to talk to them so AmEx said they will reverse the charge. I even took a photograph of the sign behind the register. I told AmEx that they would not accept the product back so he said to just keep it for now.
My experience was in Atlanta at Perimeter Mall but I hear that they are at 4 malls including Cumberland here. I hope everyone starts complaining to the MALL managers about their tactics. I believe coming out of their Kiosk and going after people is against the rules but to hide their No Refund Policy is also a violation. Also, call your credit card company. With enough complains their merchant services will be revoked.
Beware of Seacrets skin care products and their salespeople.

I literally find different routes to get around the mall just to avoid these people. Like, I know you recognize my face. I bought into your scam in the past (stupid of me), why try stopping me for the 100^th time?
I feel bad for the people they have lured in to take 35 minutes of their time to sell products that I believe do not work.
They make up their prices as they go along and if you tell them you’re not interested in their product, they will tell you that they «like you» and will «give you a discount» and will even «throw in extra» products. They will tell you that others spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars on their products and will show you (fake) receipts of others «purchases» to make you to believe people actually buy this stuff.

I honestly don’t know what everyone is talking about, if you get swindled that seriously is your own fault.
My experience:
I was walking pass pushing my 1 year old daughter. I was headed into Bloomingdales. Out of the corner of my eye this lady was passing out free samples. I had already made it past her when I decided to turn around and grab a sample… I love free stuff.
She then started in with her sales technique. I’m 25, tomorrow is my birthday. Although I’m obviously not on my death bed, I am feeling a bit old (I know I’m not, but ya know… I went from being a social butterfly to a stay at home mom, self esteem took a dive) ANYWAY, SANDRA was very pleasant… A very GOOD SALESWOMAN… I tried my own dodging techniques «Well I need to go» «It’s late» «I’ll think about it» «What’s your name I’ll come back on pay day» etc… to no avail! DAMN, this lady was goooood. To top it off; she was as sweet as pie.
Moving right along: She kept telling me what I needed to do for my skin…“You’ve never had a facial?” NOPE! Sadly, I have not. I seriously do not spend this kind of money on myself EVER!!! To be honest, I do need to use moisturizer and I do need to take better care of my face, even though I look like I’m 14, it won’t last forever…
I was in a hurry; child upset, and I was trying to make it to the mac makeup store to buy some makeup for tomorrows Castro Street Fair…
Well, the fabulous wheel and dealer Sandra brought me behind the counter and told me that she would mark down the «224k multi-​vitamin deep peeling» to $ 70, how could I refuse? .8 seconds earlier she had said it was $ 178! I jumped on that deal. Maybe it was my daughter screaming, maybe I was feeling warn down, or maybe it was her sweet accent and the way she kept making me feel special… Whatever the reason I couldn’t pass on a 60% discount.
As for the product itself; my friend and I laughed afterwards how it could potentially be like the «glue» effect… but whatever, it made me believe my skin was hella dirty. OH, and she gave me like 20 free samples of the moisturizer, which will last me a year. All in all; even if it was a scam, and even if I will be eating cereal for the rest of the month (I did not need to spend any money), I felt special. She was sweet and I received a GREAT deal! way better than some of you poor fools.
p.s on arriving at home I immediately began researching this product. I didn’t want to use it and then find out tomorrow morning it’s some radioactive toxic goo and my face melted off (NOT ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!) Which as far as I’ve read thus far; the product itself is great. I’ve come across hundreds of reviews both positive and negative, a couple main complaints are «gold is the last ingredient, waaaah» ON MY BOX it is the 4^th ingredient. another one was «it’s cheaper on amazon, waaaaaah» after endlessly searching Amazon I haven’t found this to be true… so that’s something.

So normally I walk by this place and laugh at the people they have sucked in and are being lured into these scams.
However today going solo this guy thought i must be «Easy» prey and literally grabbed me in. Now I was not nice to him at all. Now I did want to see what was in these products because I’m a skin care fanatic, I actually work in a cosmetics store. So I «went along with it» for a couple minutes until he decided to tell me what I need and tell me whats wrong with my skin. That’s when he crossed the line.
Now I KNOW whats wrong with my skin. I mean it is on me so I’m PRETTY familiar with it. One huge thing about working in skin care is you don’t ever tell someone what they need or don’t need just by looking at them. I could profile a customer with a shiny face and say they need something for oil but I will never automatically suggest something for them based off that I listen to what they have to say and base it off that. These people are taught so bad it’s almost like a disgrace to a cosmetic seller.
Learn some manners and maybe you’ll actually make a profit one day.
But as far as the products go I asked to read the boxes so I could see the ingredients before he royally pissed me off. And they’re nothing better than a 12 dollar bottle of clean and clear.

My review is nothing new it appears. I was swindled because I don’t know a damn thing about face cosmetics, so when he put that stuff on my face and suddenly pointed out the horrible crows feet around my eyes (that I hadn’t really noticed until he did this, I’m only 27!) I suddenly went from feeling all cute and dolled up for wandering around the mall to feeling like I looked old and wrinkly and that I apparently needed these things if I were ever to keep my fiancé wanting to kiss me.
I just can’t get over how stupid I feel. I’ve never let these people suck me in before. But he was super good looking and kept telling me how cute I was, and I just moved here a few weeks ago, and I haven’t seen my fiancé since I moved because he’s having to wrap up back at home. Augh! :’(
Now I just have this horrible feeling about using their products because I feel so stupid for having gotten them in the first place. Despite that I did try using them when I got home but clearly didn’t do it right as I didn’t get anything near the effects my salesman did. Thankfully (I guess) he insisted on giving me his personal business card (twice even!) and the whole kit and caboodle came with a free facial. So I emailed him and have demanded he teach me how to use this stuff.
BUT, MAJOR POINT FOR ANYONE WHO GOT TAKEN BY THESE GUYS!!: small light of hope, he mentioned a price guarantee and said if I found the products somewhere else for cheaper that they would match that price. So I did my homework when I got home and unfortunately only found 2 of the bottles I had paid for selling for much cheaper, but it still amounted to a $ 300 difference.
Better than nothing… :(still feel incredibly dumb, weak, and taken advantage of.

I am soo happy I am not the only one with this place. I have no Idea how this place is surviving with their grabs. I just walk past the kiosk and I was pulled in from a salesgirl. The first thing she asks is «Where you from?» I told her a foreign country so shed leave me alone… However that didn’t work. She then asks which products do I use for my skin. Of course I say Bioderm and Mary Kay. According to her those are the worst products to use for your skin.
Trying to leave she wants to test a product… So find do it and I can leave… So she does the treatment… So they tells me how much, do you want… I say ZERO! Not good for her… She then says Ill remove 2 months payment? WHAT? What do you mean remove 2 months payment. Its a «yearly Payment plan» of 49.95 $
I told her she was crazy and left.
Please avoid walking by this corridor in Westfield.

The woman who sucked me into this «scamplay» was so incredibly beautiful that it made my day. She did the typical «I am not cheap but I am Jewish» joke (yeah, she got it backwards, which was cute) but had a French accent and her eyes were beautiful, big and brown — totally locked in mine for the duration of the pitch. She caressed my inner wrist with her thin, careful fingers. I didn’t care that she was trying to suck all of my money out of my pockets — a lot of women that try and do that and it’s sad that she’d probably only see a $ 20 commission at most for her effort.
When I heard her little pitch I couldn’t help recognizing all the techniques used by gypsies since the dawn of European society, and I actually have a thing for snake oil salespeople. When it was clear I wasn’t going to drink the Kool-​Aid, another saleswoman who was almost as hot (but less seductive) took me from the other side and they double-​team insulted me while I ludicrously savored the moment. It is now at the level of fetish for me. I even got to tell the French Jewish girl how incredibly beautiful she was and that was the only reason I was talking to her; I couldn’t care less about some face wash or whatever. And believe me when I tell you that she is a total fox of the highest order with kinky hair and sharp cheekbones, with olive complexion and peppered freckles. A defined profile with sharp chin and Picasso-​painted neckline. I wish I knew more about her collarbones.
The best part was when I gave up on the polite refusals and started asking her for her phone number or some contact info. She plopped one of the bottles of cure-​all into my hand and made one last effort before giving up. I handed it back to her and told her there was no way I was going to buy this crap and smiled. She recoiled so instantaneously as an internal switch flicked behind her eyes, from whence a cloud of extreme hatred and disdain came spilling forth so profusely that even her perky features now seemed jagged and resolute. This seductress had disowned me once and for all and I revealed the Cerberus beneath the siren. It was at this moment I became so incredibly turned on. You have to see her, her name is Tamra I think.
Seriously, this was so worth 20 minutes and I can’t stop thinking about it.

We got «suckered» into close to $ 900 in products. Actually, I love the Milk and Honey body butter, the apricot face scrub, and the green tea bath salt stuff. We were (well, at least I know I was) feeling a little pretty after lunching and I guess it showed, hence all logic went out the door (as did ~$ 900). Heavy selling by a particularly aggressive person, and it didn’t help matters that the guy was attractive. Perhaps some college-​age guys who probably got the job to help pay tuition. Great idea!
Those DSP items that I like? I found the same products on the web for $$$$ less!

So I am in the minority here but I actually like these products (so far).
However, I just read the same story over and over with the exact same selling tactics, down to the very line. And so i give 2 stars — 1 star for the unsavory practice & 1 star for the fact that the scrub has madr my face like a baby’s bottom.
But it is disturbing how exact and aggressive they selling tactics are: drawing you in with the scrub that sloughs off dead skin and leaves the back of your hand feeling super soft (& and later wondering if it was just the gel goop rolling up into little balls or was it really my dead skin??), pretending to give you a deal by throwing in «free» items, claiming the products are only real if they come w a certificate thingy, even doing a «zip the lip» motion regarding the deal you are being given, and showing me the receipts of other people & how they paid $ 200 $ 600 $ 1000 but that you only pay $ 150.
All of this is super shady.
BUT — in the end I walked away with products for $ 50 each, which is a lot of money, but not outrageous for high end products. I don’t know for sure that these products are worth $ 50 each yet but I kind of look at it like I got a deal since others were taken for more money and they are retailed on Amazon for $ 114 each.
What is interestig is that it appears that most complaints are about the out right lies of the refund policy, which is completely legit to demand money back after being told you can do that — but most do not mention the actual product. People are too pissed to even try it out at home (again — understandable).
If the products are good, they need quit pulling scam tactics.
Maybe you can play a game and see how much you can get out of them — la mer cream is $ 140 – 180, even Lancôme cream is $ 100. So getting a cream, face wash and scrub for $ 150 doesn’t piss me off, especially if the products are good.
Despite all this, I can’t say I will be buying from this company again because of the gross way they «do business» — all these people being scammed for hundreds and thousands of $$, being blatantly told that try can receive and refund and then see a No Refunds on the bottom of the receipt is just plain corrupt.
Too bad they tainted a potentially great product with an aggressive sell, bogus pricing & corrupt refund policy.
PS: I redid the back of my hand when I came home to see if it was the gel coagulating or dead skin, and it did not ball up in my hand, but it DID ball up on my face. So I guess it is sloughing off dead skin.
