Devil’s Advocate (sorta kinda)
I joined this sub some weeks ago and, while I completely agree with the (for lack of a better word) disrespect towards the loyal buyers…I can’t agree with the price discussion 100%. I work in raw materials for cosmetic (not to toot (our) own horn but we are leaders in the market and have worked with rhode to a degree!) and right now, things are not good. Without giving any details, I just want you guys to understand that these prices are going up not only because of our president (😡), but because raw materials are going up everywhere and it’s getting hard to find them at affordable prices, while keeping the price the same for the customer.
Having said that…the compact mirror price is ridiculous yet I know it’s probably going to sold out. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do, however, it would be great if Rhode could fix some of its minor issues (grainy textures for some lip treatments, maybe do pre-sales for loyal buyers, etc) before increasing the prices.
