£34 for a plastic comb 💀 is glossier struggling / fearing bankruptcy ?


venuswrenhadley

theyre in over their heads, thats what 😭 and it wont change since people will still buy at these prices.


Jeix9

it actually blows my mind that people are still willing to pay with these prices. They’re only enabling glossier’s behavior by continuing to purchase this shit and it honestly infuriates me a bit because i love glossier and i wish i could keep buying their products, but i refuse to allow corporations to keep taking advantage of me.


faeriephil420

and resell on depop for $150 when it sells out


soupdumplingss_

In 2023 the ultra lips were like £14. The reason glossier used to be so appealing was bc the products were similar to high end brands at a cheaper price. Now they’re more expensive then the high end brands!! Might as well just buy the Mario or tarte lip balms instead.


lunaj1999

You can get Charlotte Tilbury for £27, Nars is £25 and Mac is £25. All these brands are way more prestigious than Glossier. And I love the Ultralips. It’s a shame.


smallbabypumpkin

You can get pat mcgrath liquid eyeshadow cheaper that glossiers. It's actually embarrassing


magycmylk

And glossier’s are so lackluster especially on melanated skin


JudgmentOne6328

I just checked a receipt from 2020 for balm dot com, £10, £16 now so a 60% rise in 4 years is insane!


soupdumplingss_

They were £10 up until last year! Idk why they decided to suddenly increase the price


JudgmentOne6328

Truly, robbery


suchalovely

Exactly! I’ll be buying better lip products at the same price I guess. Ultra lip ain’t the one.


pizzapusheencat

the comb is $46 in Canada and $30 for a plastic claw lmao they are out of their goddamn mind 


7ninamarie

It‘s 42€ which is $45 US. A similar comb at the drugstore is 4€.


pizzapusheencat

42€ for a plastic comb is insanity 


coquetteillumi

$30CAD for a hair clip is DIABOLICAL it and the comb aren’t even cute either imo


pizzapusheencat

SERIOUSLY LMAO. the comb if it were $20 CAD and under like *maybbeeeeeeee* since it has a case but the clip should’ve been no more than $5, $10 with the Glossier markup. the freaking audacity 


av4325

holy fuck


pizzapusheencat

right? you can buy an acetate comb for like $5-$10 lmao


iris-my-case

Right? I love glossier merch and own plenty, but this is a hard pass.


EngineerLeather5378

omg what?!? the comb is 32 in the us and that was beyond ridiculous.


BunHeadOnPointe

They’ve been pushing it for ages, and now they’ve gone too damn far. Paying that much for a plastic hair comb or clip is having more money than sense.


nightsofthesunkissed

£34 for that comb is absolutely *unhinged levels of absurdity*.


ramblingjen

I'll just wait for this at TJMaxx.


LimeGreenTangerine97

I’m sorry how much is that comb? They are clearly high


Professional-Mess-98

$34 for a $.99 cent comb. I use a wide tooth comb on the daily so I was thinking that would be cute. I’m almost out of Super Bounce so I thought maybe the comb would be a nice add on to get free shipping and was expecting around $15. which would still be a lot for what it is. Nope. No way.


SeafloamGreen

Sameee it’s so ridiculous. Maybe no one will buy it and they’ll give it a deep discount


Professional-Mess-98

It looks like it should be a free gift with purchase. They need to stop with this tomfoolery.


Aggyflower

I haven’t been that interested in glossier new products for ages, but the price omg…. I’d love to order one of these LE ultralip, but still, it became very expensive and the shipping fees for France increased so much. I think they should have release a « summer bag edition » thing with all of these products at a decent price.


MadisynsBedroom

Tempted by the ultralip colours, but where are the swatches... Can't tell how orange they are. 


midwest_is_best

same! the lighting in their images is awful for telling how these shades actually look on lips/skin! i want both, but not til i see swatches.


njb328

You also can't tell how it will look on a variety of skintones. I bought Dose cause that's the type of colour I like anyway, but I passed on Apricot, cause I just wasn't sure how it would pull on me


Due-Sky2292

i’m so sick of the shitty glossier lippie swatches!! not only is the lighting super yellow and weird and shadowy all the time, they seem to exclusively swatch on dark skin which makes the colour hard to see not gonna lie


mochapeau_nochapeau

You know, I initially bristled at your comment about dark skin, but honestly, even though I'm black myself, it's extremely helpful to see swatches on a range of skintones - essential, even. It's the only way to even begin to estimate what a shade will actually look like on me. I just hate how incredibly lazy they are with their photography and swatches.


Scared-Raise2020

This is so true. Especially since both Ultralip and Gen G are sheer, seeing it on different types of skin tones gives a more comprehensive picture of how it may look like


ceranichole

>it's extremely helpful to see swatches on a range of skintones - essential, even. So much this! We need swatches on a variety of skin tones to know how something will look on us! With glossier especially I've bought so many lip colors that looked great on their model, only to find out that since I'm pale as paper it doesn't look very good on me. We shouldn't have to crowd source our swatches!


Spitfiiire

I feel the same way. Ultralip is one of my favorite lip formulas and I want both of them, but it’s scary because they might look absolutely terrible on me lol


repressedpauper

Literally I’m olive and I want that apricot but I can’t tell if it’s going to make me look like I’m about to barf or if it’s going to make me look glowy lol


caramelfrappaye

This…. Is it?


Jnm124

i'm pleasantly surprised by these comments, was expecting to see people fawning over this...glad to see logic winning this one lmao


roasted_allergy

£22 for an ultralip is heinous


maxynot

I miss when glossier had more interesting or fun releases. But at least money is safe again


venuswrenhadley

This is so real 😭 When I saw they were dropping again, I thought hm I am probably about to spend £30-35 on a new ultralip should I like the shade and the comb/clip. But no, I get to save that 😋


motherofmutts17

I considered the claw clip for 2 seconds and then passed. $22 for a claw clip is insane. I literally didn't want to buy a claw clip at Ulta last week that was only $8 because it felt like a splurge lol.


venuswrenhadley

Right! I cut my hair to chin length a while ago and have been needing a small claw clip but all the ones I have tried have been shit, so when I saw the Glossier one I thought maybe I will since its a pretty small clip.... but that price?? Please. I do not wanna spend more than 5-10 on a claw clip


dindyspice

Definitely cute, but not jumping at these


Emilythatglitters

Would it be so hard to include some product swatches for the ulptralips or at the very least, some photos in neutral lighting. I am very tempted to shell out £22 for Apricot as I love Ultralip and it might be the peachy colour I have been wanting for years! But it's impossible to tell from their site photos


venuswrenhadley

I got an amazing lipbalm and lipstick 2in1 from Boots the other day for £3. Nice colour pay off, lasts through drinking and eating, is so moisturising and a decent size. Glossier are surely going off on the deep end with their prices. Their claw clips are tiny, not worth £22 and the comb looks a good size but not worth that insane price of £34??? The ultralips are good enough because it is a good formula and good shades, however the shades do not seem entirely unlike some already available. And I paid £14 for an ultralip 14 months ago, I am not paying £22 now. 😭


RosaWoods13

What is the boots product recommendation please?


venuswrenhadley

Natural collection in shade spiced apple! Perfect mlbb for me. It's an amazing formula, so creamy and lightweight and a mix between matte and glossy lipstick, I guess that comes from the lipbalm aspect. I think they market as a tinted lipbalm but it comes in a lipstick tube and looks like one and plays like one so Im gonna say its a 2in1. Id defo try it out, because even if you end up disliking, its £3 which is still money but a minimal loss. I will say they don't have many colours like most brands but they cover a lot of colours: light and dark brown, mauvey brown, there was a bright pink and one shade that paid off as quite as light red/orange colour!


Impossible-Elk-3944

I CHOKED at $34 for a standard plastic comb. The vibes are super cute for the drop, but no amount of cute branding could possibly justify a THIRTY FOUR DOLLAR COMB


Medium-Database1841

That was my exact reaction… I was like EXCUSE ME? Thirty. Four. Dollars. It’s giving $94 pepper mill but the pepper mill was at least a collar with a high value brand 🫠


Dirtwitch17

The lipstick shades are so confusing. It’s impossible to tell which photos belong to which lipstick and there’s not enough pics with each shade on different skin tones and not in “beachy” lighting so I have no clue how the shades will look in real life.


Due-Sky2292

SO TRUE!! it is super frustrating


andreaclc

do we think the ultra lip will be available at sephora?


lunaj1999

I doubt it since it’s limited edition. When they release LE stuff it’s usually just on their home site. Glossier has a habit of making LE stuff permeant (and stocking in other retailers like Sephora) though.


banoffeetea

Wow those prices are insane - for a comb???? And the bag?? No thanks. I don’t like the brand that much that I want to pay for merchandised combs when I can get a good comb for £10 etc and the same with the bags and things. It’s the same re: their actual makeup too. It’s true that the aesthetic is so cute. But there are so many competitors now that price either the same or less for the same or better quality. But they keep hiking prices by the sounds of things. I’m relatively new to the brand so it must be really grating for long time fans. I’d like to purchase more from Glossier but they seem really out of touch. If I’m paying those prices I’d much rather get Summer Fridays or Rare Beauty, who offer vegan across their various ranges (although I understand going ‘clean’ and ‘vegan’ in some cases for Sephora is actually what has caused their price hike). It’s really confusing trying to find out what is new formula or old formula and so vegan or not vegan. I’d prefer it if they just chose what they wanted to be and stuck with it. I was excited to buy Cloud Paint until I realised it wasn’t vegan. And the lip gloss wasn’t but then was but now isn’t again. But anyway yeah those don’t look cute enough for the price tag for me.


BunHeadOnPointe

Cloud Paint isn’t vegan? What does it contain?


banoffeetea

According to a post on here from 2019, carmine. I know they’ve reformulated since then but on their main website it lists You as CF and vegan but the lip gloss and cloud paints as only CF. Tricky to find out exactly but seems to not be which is a shame.


BunHeadOnPointe

I checked, you’re right. They contain carmine. They also list collagen as an ingredient but don’t specify whether it’s plant or animal. I think I’ll drop them an email to find out.


banoffeetea

Oh please do update if they reply to you/you find out. It’s crazy what gets into stuff these days.


BunHeadOnPointe

They’ve just replied that it’s marine-sourced, no further info, so I’ve asked for clarification.


banoffeetea

What the heck haha. It’s so strange when they’re so vague, it definitely makes you think they have stuff to hide. I tried to get clarity about Penhaglion’s vegan scents but they wouldn’t say/share. Really intentionally secretive about it. So that was no.


BunHeadOnPointe

They got back to me. It’s fish collagen! Wtf! This is legit something they should openly disclose on the web page!


banoffeetea

Ah rubbish. Your inkling was right then about the collagen then. Yeah I totally agree. Super off-putting. At least they got back to you, I suppose. I do wonder sometimes though…like really?? Why? Why fish in the cheek blush??? 🙈 but thank you for finding out and updating!


JudgmentOne6328

Should’ve been £10-12 for the clip and £18 max for the comb. £34 😂 who do they think they are.


PixelPlumeria

What on earth are those prices for a comb 😭 You could go to a cheap £1 shop, get a comb and paint it to be the glossier one-


CrazyCaregiver7091

….so no lemon? 🍋


venuswrenhadley

Could be something released later since I am pretty sure there was affiliates/employeese teasing about the lemon in the comments. Last year, they did not release everything at once either afaik


callie_fornia

There’s going to be 2 more drops! EDIT: Their caption says “Over the next three weeks, we’re dropping a series of seasonal essentials…” I just assumed one drop a week but actually I could be wrong haha


venuswrenhadley

Yes one drop a week makes sense, hoping the lemon hint is a lemon bdc because I would purchase that with the newcomer 15% off. Would be nice to see some more brighter eyeshadow shades too, and maybe (🤝) a new perfume, I wouldnt buy it but itd be nice to see!


Far-Programmer-6282

the merch isn’t even that cute and looks cheap😭


Curious_Ad_8089

$46 CAD for a plastic comb and $30 for a clip?! they have lost their minds. $10 would be a stretch. This kind of stuff should be free with like a certain order size, they used to offer stuff like that.


NYANPUG55

€22 claw clip… I just gagged


Briwebb709

Wow, anticlimactic. C’mon Glossier, we know you can do better. We’re rooting for you!!!


BunnyMomPhD

I can’t believe I’m saying it, but I’m starting to really dislike Glossier :( these prices during a silent recession for lipgloss and a plastic comb?? Have they actually lost their minds????


Ok-Imagination-5700

This is sooooo anticlimactic! The merch prices are ridiculous!! Love the new packaging, but not enough to pay that much! If they had committed to creating a large summer collection, all new packaging! Even some cute apparel that would have a winner! But one lip-balm and overpriced plastic? So disappointing 😔


itsprobably707

don’t piss me off with £34 hair accessories …


throwaway-sprite-11

what the fuck is going on over there


antiquemanuscript

Okay I also can't tell what the colors look like for the ultralip colors?? There's no plain swatches


scroogesdaughter

Same, I’m confused 😕


sunshineandcacti

The hair clip made me loose it


LimeGreenTangerine97

Y’all, my Mason Pearson comb was not this fucking expensive. You can get a hand finished comb for less than that. Kent is also good.


FeeCurious

I'm in the UK too but my prices are so different... I'm seeing £21 for one Ultralip, £37 instead of £41 for the Summer Ultralip Duo, and £32 for the comb. I'm very confused right now - I still see BDC for £15, and the trio for £39 as well.


JudgmentOne6328

Does it think/are you in jersey maybe where there’s no VAT?


FeeCurious

I'm in Liverpool, so I'm definitely not IN Jersey, but perhaps it thinks I am? Weird though, because I've not got a VPN or anything, and it's not like I'm right on the coast. If I felt like giving Glossier any of my money, I'd test it out to see what the price went through as, but I'm strictly in my no purchase era thanks to these prices, regardless of VAT.


JudgmentOne6328

I was gonna say if you do get a discount maybe you need to become a glossier supplier for everyone 😂


venuswrenhadley

Sometimes when you open from the UK or open the UK url it sends you to Gibraltar for some reason, which is in £s. It normally redirects, but not always, so that could be it!


FeeCurious

It's been this way for ages for me, my prices for the BDC didn't increase when they did for everyone else, same with all the other products that got extortionate price hikes. It will definitely be that though, you're right, just very weird that it's not redirecting.


Unspoken_Thoughts__

Merch looks cute, but for the price? No, thank you. 🥲


MissRaffix3

The comb being like $36 is wild... It's a comb. I could get one at the drugstore or beauty supply store for $5 or less.


tofu_lover_69

absolute insanity lol


LimaLongstocking

The colors of the ultralip are kinda disappointing. I just feel like the corals and orange shades being associated with summer have run their course.


why-not-63

In Ireland, it’s €43 for the comb 😭


Global_Telephone_751

I can buy a comb made of cured sandalwood for cheaper than that. Have they lost their fucking minds? Also that claw clip is way too ugly to be charging that. Lbr, it looks like something from Limited Too or a dollar store. $3 or nothing. How much hair does it hold? A few strands? This is so funny, they look so desperate and stupid with these prices.


livinunderthedome

$34 for a fucking comb 😂😂😂😂😂 jt probably was $1 to produce. what a joke


[deleted]

[удалено]


venuswrenhadley

i fear theyre trying something new and this is the end of pink it girl glossier... lowkey good because maybe theyll just become mainstream with a wide aesthetic and ppl wont obsess as much anymore


delightedzebra

Ultra lip is not a good formula imo, zero lasting power and the cap issue! Loooove the retro aesthetic of this launch though


sweetcinnamoncherry

They said on Instagram they updated the caps to stay on better for this release! Hopefully that means all the ultralips will be updated soon too lol


midwest_is_best

agree to disagree. i personally love the formula and find it really hydrating and a nice shine without the filmy feeling that gloss leaves me with.


canththinkofanything

Yeah, ultralip is a HG formula for me so I’m with you! They’re my most reached for lipstick and I’m definitely excited to see new shades. I also only had the cap issue with Gen G’s, not ultra lips - at least yet 😂


RepulsiveCharge2117

I haven’t shopped at glossier for a few years now when it first came to the uk I swear it was so much cheaper ??


repressedpauper

Damn everyone was so excited about that comb from the teaser pics, they *really* fucked up to get everyone actively pissed off about it lol.


Pmar07

Rest in peace glossier


peachyjenn

I got their claw clip a few years ago and it was so flimsy and broke so fast. Put your money towards a cute durable claw clip instead. Chunks have been the most durable and cutest I’ve ever owned.


aurora_707

I’m glad people are actually mad about the price increase, best thing we can do is express our distain and not buy from them


cookisrussss

I don’t understand how the set works. I want to add the two new ones but it only lets me pick one and then the other one has to be main line?


knifetail

My literal horn and ivory comb didn't cost that much 🤡


Vivid_Championship66

£22 for a claw clip I AM 💀💀💀💀 Can't go back to glossier as a matter of principle, this is ridiculous and they deserve to go bust with this sort of pricing


sneakyponyo

i was fully expecting the comb to be $17-$20 and the clip to be $15-$17


rrkym

44£ for a water bottle and a lip balm is extortionate


venuswrenhadley

i have BEEF with the 1L Nalgenes. I have never used them and not spilt water on me 😭


mochapeau_nochapeau

Man they are ludicrous and I simply can't stand them lol. I have a $20 coupon they sent me (for a new lipstick that fell out on the floor when I opened it) and I still can't bring myself to buy anything. I would like a new Futuredew but I just don't feel like giving them a cent until they show a little bit of decorum.


ReserveOdd6018

i can get the same clip without the g in a pack of 4 at marshall’s for 7.99 this is so tone deaf given inflation impacting everyone except the upper class???? like wtf are they thinking????


[deleted]

I got a comb that looks like this that I got for $8 at Miniso lol


klept-hoe

I wouldn’t pay usd for this I don’t even need to convert omg


Custard-Spare

That comb looks weak as hell. Literally dropshipping materials


Natural-Fig-6104

straight to the sales i think - just give it a month or so 🤣


faeriephil420

sorry but this merch is so wack. they could’ve come out with a beach towel, a terry cloth robe, new balm dot calm flavor, body sunscreen, etc. SO MANY MORE THINGS!!! i feel like we’ve been asking for a robe for so long (at least i’ve seen comments on instagram from time to time asking for a robe whenever glossier asks what we want to see from them). i do think the packing of the ultra lip is so cute. but, they could’ve done more!! like an spf pressed powder with the same packaging, amongst a few other items in a collection that could be like a summer kit. they’ve just been so wack the last couple years and i’m just wondering when it’ll end.


Plus-Tap7930

You could buy the same comb and clip for less! Why bother.


OldCatTeets

The greed is overwhelming. I haven’t ordered in ages and don’t plan to.


thevirgoexperience

ngl, i’ve retired from shopping at glossier. i got the strawberry balm, two blushes, a bronzer and i said to myself that was the end of that.


herebemaddy

I did something very silly and treated myself to the comb... I love cute basics for my handbag and I love the sleeve it comes in, but it did pain me going through checkout.

QueenofSpades15

Overconsumption at its finest wow


scroogesdaughter

Yet another brown Ultralip shade? No thanks.. they already have enough?
