@l8totheparty  I’m just going to wait until Ulta comes to Canada to order. About a year to go, according to their PR. I’m not risking a duties snafu like this. As if the exchange wasn’t already bad enough!

[Lisa1989]

I had something similar happen to me.. I spent $36 US at ELF and then when I got the package I got hit with like $17 in duties and $10 for a Canada Post charge and they valued what I had to be over $100... it was very dumb.

[SurprisedLemur]

@Lisa1989  That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that happened to you as well. It's always a nasty surprise that negates whatever deal you thought you were getting...

[myxducky]

in case anyone is interested in Jo Malone, the Canadian site is also having a full size GWP promo on purchases over $175. I saw the US was having it and didn't think Canada would be as well, but looks like they are albeit with a different minimum spend and gifts.

so far I was able to get:

Ginger Biscuit Cologne 100ml
Orris and Sandalwood Intense 50ml
Wood Sage and Sea Salt Body &, Handwash 250ml
Orange Bitters Cologne 100ml
Orange Bitters Cologned 30ml
Grapefruit Body Creme 175ml
Geranium and Walnut Hand Cream 50ml

Whatever happened to the prices of many products overnight? I had some stuff in my basket last night because for once I got the targeted discount code. I got distracted and forgot to place order and in the morning my basket total is increased by $11.50 😭 So much for saving LOL

[EmmaLeeT]

The tariffs the States had imposed were related to steel and aluminium, while these materials might be used to help with the production of makeup and skincare, pressing eyeshadows and helping with the bottling of liquids etc., I'm not sure they would have had much effect on the makeup and skincare industry. Also, the tariffs were lifted back in the middle of May, so if they were having any effect on the makeup and skin care industry the costs should actually be staying the same or going down. 

While a lot of the prices went up $3-4, I noticed the following prices increased significantly:

• Clarisonic replacement head twin packs went up $9
• Darphin's Exquisage Beauty Revealing Cream increased by $20 
• Darphin's Exquisite Beauty Revealing Eye and Lip Contour Cream increased by $10
• Darphin's Intral Cleansing Milk with Chamomile increased by $10
• Rosebud Salve increased $2, which isn't a lot, but when the item was originally $7.50 it's a 27% increase
• The Sephora Pro Featherweight Blending Brush #93 literally doubled in price, going from $19 to $38
• Caudalie Elixir went up $6

If only our wages went up at the same rate!

[Anewxa]

wonder if this is why the discount codes went out.. which I did not receive anyway lol..

[rrroxanne]

I noticed a couple of the Isle of Paradise products went up in price. The weird thing, is it's only certain colors went up, while the other colors did not. Not just $1 or $2 either. The drops are regular $33, while the medium color went up to $38! I could maybe understand if the dark went more expensive, but it seems to me as if it's the most popular item that went up in price.

I was disappointed, but I ran to a store, where they still had it marked at $33 and they honored it for me. Then immediately changed the price. 

[PinkEvergreen]

@EmmaLeeT  Holy cow, those are some big jumps in prices. Good thing I’m mostly overstocked on all those things and have found a very economical Canadian sheet mask distributor, otherwise I’d be a very unhappy camper! 

[cianni]

@PinkEvergreen girllll where do you get your masks????

[PinkEvergreen]

@cianni  Chuusi Canada mainly. Search “sheet masks” on their site and you’ll see their collection. 

I also get them from their sister site, Chuusi International. They have an even bigger selection! I keep my purchases on the international site at $50 on the nose, to avoid duties since they ship from Taiwan. However, Chuusi offers to offset any costs you may incur. 

I’ve now ordered three times from the Canadian site (took three days to get my orders), and twice from the international site (that took between 10-15 days) and it has been awesome! The mask prices range from CAD$1.50 to $8.00 but most are CAD$2.85 or less. 

Now I have piles to choose from in my collection, for evvvvery skin concern lol 😂 

[cianni]

@EmmaLeeT makeup also went up! Looks like the Fenty Moroccan Spice and Too Faced Natural Lust both jumped from 69 to 78 ($9 increase). Other notable increases: 

- Tarte pride set: $29 to $32

- ND mini palettes: $30 to $33

- ND mini duos: $23 to $25.50-26

- Fenty products have gone up between $1 and $6 each

- Too Faced chocolate bar, chocolate gold and sweet peach palettes: $59 to $65

- Bite beauty kiss n fly set: $39 to $45

- Charlotte tilbury look sets: $275 to $299

and it goes on! Looks like palettes and value/gift sets have been the most affected by the increase. 

[PinkEvergreen]

@cianni  Wow, hefty increases there as well. I really noticed price increases at Christmas time (2018). The value sets were minuscule compared to last year, yet some were more than double the previous year’s prices. I had hoped it would be temporary, but evidently not. It seems to be spreading. 

[cianni]

@PinkEvergreen I know there are reasons to increase the prices, like exchange rate, etc but some of the bumps are pretty substantial. It’s kinda annoying to see something I was debating suddenly be so much more expensive, it starts to push products outside of a persons comfortable spend zone 

[EmmaLeeT]

@cianni, thanks for the heads up on those products, I was just looking at things I'd bought in the last little bit, and apparently it's been mostly skincare.

[cianni]

@EmmaLeeT so annoying!! I’m on a makeup low buy so I can easily avoid spending on that stuff (and honestly I should just be using what I have so this is good motivation), but skincare if I run out I can’t really avoid spending on 😭

[l8totheparty]

I wish our wages went up like that!  I'd take a 27% wage increase. Those are significant increases. @EmmaLeeT 

[EmmaLeeT]

I just had a look at Shoppers Beauty Boutique, and you can get the Clarisonic replacement packs for $49 and the Jack Black Glycolic Face Scrub which went up $6 at Sephora only went up $1 at Shoppers.

[Brutalitops]

@fatimamummy Maybe is has something to do with the current trade wars/ tariffs the US is imposing? I know there's some stuff here that's set to jump up too whenever that hits the fan

[SurprisedLemur]

I noticed that too @fatimamummy . Most of the items on my loves list went up in price by $3-4

[cangirl84]

@SurprisedLemur I got Hourglass 60ml for 87$ plus 20% during the Rouge Sale, and today it is 99$ a tube, 12$ over from last night. I understand the CAD is so so low now but wow, 12$ overnight, I need to give me some break time, lol!
