I know there are a few TMM fans on here (myself included) so I thought I'd just let you know that she'll be increasing prices on 1st March.

Here are the new prices:

Quite a big increase but she's still going to be reasonable I think.

I just saw that on the website. I still haven't tried this brand so I guess I'll have to before March!

[PhantomGoddess]

Ouch. Those prices hurt. I would only purchase from her after the price increase when she has sales.

That is a big increase but I guess it puts her on par with most other MMU companies.

For me being a Canadian, the shipping for TMM is too high for delivery confirmation. My samples have still not arrived from over a month that they were shipped and I am just giving up on even following up with TMM anymore because they won't be replacing the lost order.

wow...again?

[Sirvinya]

Yup, again. She said it's this or she shuts down. She threatenend to shut down before but kept open when people asked her not to close.

[Maysie]

Those prices don't seem totally unreasonable. Small businesses probably have a lot of costs to keep em going.

For anyone who's interested, there's a big message on the Aromaleigh site on Kristen's blog (click on Miss K's blog) about price increases on materials. The theme/purpose of the message is actually political, but I found the parts about the price increases she's facing interesting - I assume other small mmu companies are having similar issues.

I am a huge fan of TMM and I definitely think that her price increases just do in fact put her in line with the rest of the mineral makeup companies. I was honestly wondering how in the world she was managing to offer such great prices with how much materials cost and then still having money left over to turn a profit. She definitely had the most affordable pigments of anyone out there I believe. I love her products and her CS so I will continue to purchase from her when I am able to do so; I just won't be placing 20 jar orders at one time like I used to do.

I don't think her price increases are that unreasonable. Her prices are now pretty much the same as other companies. I think a lot of it has to tie in with what was written in Miss K's blog. Supplies are getting more expensive. Heck everything that we purchase lately seems to be getting more expensive.

Hm... it sounds like to me, she wants to shut down.

[Sirvinya]

Due to the current value of the Dollar to the Pound, even with the price increase TMM is still one of the cheapest places for me to order minerals from.

[lotusindigo]

I don't mind. IMO her pigments were underpriced. It's business, and I don't blame her at all. I'd rather she stayed open.

[SUTIL]

i dont mind the price increase, i have 70++ of her pigments and i love them all...besides, her samples are cheaper before and even after the price increase than the other mmu brands.

I will still remain loyal to TaylorMade Minerals. =)
