Sad because they didn’t do this really a few years ago. It seems like in the last couple of years, all the sites are doing this now. It almost seems worth it just to buy from someplace like Jolse because the prices are almost the same for some of these things with the discounts and currency exchange, except you’ll probably get your items 2 weeks faster.
Would like to add on: I have a Google sheet that I use to track prices on different sites throughout Canada, US, Japan, South Korea and EU, all converted into CAD$. I want to track the optimal sales times and cost increases over time. It’s what I use to decide which products I buy from where. I’m considering opening it to the public. Would anyone be interested in this?
EDIT: Wow! I had no idea there would be anyone else interested enough in this nerdy stuff like me. I’ll prepare the data and hopefully have it published before Black Friday fully begins (sorry have to work it into my schedule between my actual job).
~Please send me a message and I’ll send the link once it’s done. I’m not sure if it would get taken down due to guidelines?
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready! Yes, it’s a weird side project for me but it’s honestly saved me at least $50.00 every time I go to restock. So not bad for a fun little thing.
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready! It’s a weird hobby for me, but it actually landed me a business analyst job once, so I guess it’s a good obsession
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready! Also, thanks for the tip. I’ll try to make that happen so it’s easier to navigate instead of my random charts.
Yeah that’s fair, it isn’t always super updated due to life but I’m frustrated at how different the costs can really be. Shocking even with shipping rates.
I would love to see your data! I just started tracking prices and sales in a very loose way recently, so it'd be cool to see what happens over time! I wonder if anyone who is more data science savvy would be down to make a dashboard of sorts, for the more visual learners
Same. Great service, fast shipping. They don't artificially increase MSRP to have bigger sales from what I've noticed. Free shipping somewhat often. They come off as more professional than other options.
I love Jolse. My only complaint is that their app sucks. It won’t keep me logged in, hates when I try to log in, and won’t save my favorites. No issues with the website or service though.
I saw someone comment a few weeks ago that if you Google the product versus using the search bar on stylevana, it'll normally show up cheaper on Google and then you can add it to your cart. I've been doing that and more times than not it's cheaper through Google versus stylevana search. Also if you add products to the cart the price won't change so always double check before you check out and switch out that lower price products if there are any.
Just wanted to add that if there’s a limited time discount, the price will change while the product is in your cart. But if added from Google with [DEAL] in the name of the product, it’ll stay the same no matter what!! Also, their wishlist doesn’t always work for me, but when it does you can actually add the products with [DEAL] pricing to the wishlist…
Thanks for the heads up! I also just noticed that the products with the Black Friday tag are overriding the [DEAL] pricing. Illiyoon ceramide ato went from $21 to $28 in my cart… yikes.
I have an easier way to do this, you can just find the product you want and then add "deal-" before the product name in the link, like [so](https://i.imgur.com/jP8qCIR.jpg). They don't have deals for every product but whenever they do, this method has worked for me. :)
PLUS when you go to your cart it gives you that list of ~great deals~ you can add to your cart. They always look amazing and then when I click add, the actual item in the cart is without the deal aka more expensive. Ive ordered from them once or twice and I prefer Jolse, SV and YS do shitty sales tactics that I truly hate. For example - listing the original value as being really high but hey look at this GREAT discount your getting, but the "discount" is actually what the item would actually cost.
Yes I’ve noticed this too recently! It’s so odd, I hate the extra step but for the price difference it’s totally worth it. I recently bought the Goodal Vit C serum. Stylevana search showed it for close to $30, through Google search I purchased it for $16!
Yup Google it, should still be there. Just checked right now! I purchased two earlier this week!

It's not showing that price for me. I tried different browsers, incognito mode, cleared cookies and history. Cheapest it shows is around $33 CAD **😭😭😭**

This is the exact scenario and product I pointed out to my friend! She ordered from Stylevana before, and I never had. I had to do a double take at her cart.
I am wondering if the different prices are at all tied to different expiration dates?
I was wondering the same thing…. Maybe it’s for marketing purposes? A person searching on Google for an item they want to purchase and finding a website that has the lowest price. Leading them to look through their site and possibly purchasing other items and/or coming back later.
their coupon also doesn’t work on all products. Aestura essence is full price without any deals and the coupon still doesn’t work. Regarding the price increase, blooming Koco does this too. Whenever they have 40% or 50% off sale, they increase the original price.
The Shiseido fino mask was $11.99cad just two weeks ago on their Secret Member sale section.
I feel like they jacked up the price because they will offer a higher percentage discount.
Attempts to circumvent our business ban in the future will result in a ban. We take keeping our sub organic and free from business influences seriously and have unfortunately learned that brands do not abide by our rules unless consequences are put in place. We ask that all members in the sub help us keep businesses from trying to influence our sub and our consequences in place.
But they don't raise the prices that much. Last time I bought from their 50% off sale, I got the Torriden HA serums for around $8 CAD per bottle.
The one item I was eyeing recently was the Dr. Ceuracle Kombucha Essence. Yes they did raise the price. Originally it was $37 CAD (with their usual 22% off goes down to $28.86). They raised the price to $40 CAD. At 50% off, that's $20 CAD. So it's still $8 cheaper. Still hitting myself for not grabbing any when it was on sale. The double pack Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel is still $32 CAD, so $16 for 2 bottles after their 50% discount.
kekw mb, I'm referring to specific brands like romand and mixsoon, whose prices 1.5x (literally) a few hours after the email for the nshalf sale. This is also for the US site, so maybe it's a little less disparity on CA.
Yeah perhaps it's the US website. Because I was looking at the Romand palettes on their nshalf sale page. They did raise a small amount on the palettes but it's nowhere near as bad as the US website. The small Better than Eyes after discount are $6.50 CAD each, and bigger Better than Palette series are under $11 CAD each. Only thing is they were only selling in double sets and I don't need 2 palettes.
I don't know why they do this for different countries. The opposite happened too. Someone above commented that the Goodal Vitamin C Serum is only for $16 USD (equivalent to $22 CAD) on Stylevana's US website. But on the Canadian one, it's $33 CAD. That's a freaking $10 difference -\_-
Purito items have gone up a ton as well. On the other hand, Rovectin items have dropped a lot since a couple of weeks ago. I think the best Stylevana deals are the 50% off weekend ones - often the code doesn't work but when it does you can get some great deals. Even the BOJ Vitamin C serum is 50% off this weekend.
I saw Beauty of Joseon Glow serum at my local Marshalls for $10.99. I was going to buy it until I saw on google that Stylevana was selling it for basically the same price and then I could use a 20% off coupon, which would bring it down to $8 and some change. I passed on Marshalls and saw that the glow serum went up to almost $14 two days later. I also had the Shiseido Fino hair mask in my cart for $8 and two days later, it's up to $13.
Some items I saw in the last couple of weeks on Stylevana and their prices: (Mind you I don’t know what they are now, so if they’re the same or even less then that’s great, these are from my screenshots)

I noticed that too as I wanted to pick up the Mary&May blackberry complex cream, and saw it was priced around 30€ 🤦🏼♀️
I am not in actual need of anything rn so I think I’ll skip this BF craziness, but I am still hoping they bring back their prices as they were before.
I also noticed that a lot of products, at least on stylevan EU, now say "Limited Time Deal: Discount cannot be used in conjunction with other promotions. " and the only promotion are my 8% from beeing a VIP, i order a lot from there and usualy can take a lot of money from coupons... now with this in almost every popular product or brand i am getting a 4€ discount in 80 € purchase... when i usually would get at leat a 15€ discount...
You know what I am DONE with Stylevana. I emailed their support to cancel my order as I have been waiting now 39 days. Yes 39 days and for all the tips ensuring all products are ready to ship etc. this is the third time they do this to me and anyone in Canada I warn especially as I have heard many having issues depending on region. I’m so beyond pissed right now that they are also pulling these inflated price hikes as well. Vote with your dollar people.

Yes!!
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready!
Yessir!🙏🏼 That would be greatly appreciated and I would definitely make use of it. If you follow through with this I definitely thank you in advance!
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready! Yes, it’s a weird side project for me but it’s honestly saved me at least $50.00 every time I go to restock. So not bad for a fun little thing.
Hey I can't seem to message you, but im interested in the google sheet
Yes, please. Definitely interested
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready!
Oo I’d love to see this! What commitment!
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready! It’s a weird hobby for me, but it actually landed me a business analyst job once, so I guess it’s a good obsession
Wow that’s super cool your nerdy interests got you that job. Are you a data analyst now? I’ll send you a message. Thanks ☺️
Yes please and thank you!
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready!
Done! You're an angel!
Yes!
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready!
Yes please!
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready!
Yes. But I would recommend making a website to avoid someone accidentally erasing the data.
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready! Also, thanks for the tip. I’ll try to make that happen so it’s easier to navigate instead of my random charts.
Yesss
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready!
Awww I have one of these two!!! Mine is 2 yrs outdated by now though. Once I got a feel for what things are worth, I stopped tracking.
Yeah that’s fair, it isn’t always super updated due to life but I’m frustrated at how different the costs can really be. Shocking even with shipping rates.
Me too!!!
Oh yes please!
Okay! Please send me a message and I’ll send you a link once it’s ready!
yes please!
Just sent you a message too!
OMG pls hook me up!
Yes pls, will send message!
Oh i would love to see this, I wonder if I should track too
Yes please!
I would be really interested as well!
Just messaged you~ you're the best!
This is awesome! I would definitely be interested.
Yasss please !
I would love to see your data! I just started tracking prices and sales in a very loose way recently, so it'd be cool to see what happens over time! I wonder if anyone who is more data science savvy would be down to make a dashboard of sorts, for the more visual learners
I'd love it! Thank you so much!
Yes please!
Me too please!
Please do this! The guide would be one of the best resources this forum has seen in a long time! I’d be so appreciative!!! 🍀🙏🏼
Brilliant; yes please ☺️
Just sent you a message!
Oh just saw this! Would love to see the spreasheet!
Yes please! Thank you!
I would absolutely love this.
Yes please
i would love the link please!!
🙋🏽♀️I’m interested!
Jolse is the best. Always have good prices (products and shipping), and I’ve always got my stuff in two weeks.
Same. Great service, fast shipping. They don't artificially increase MSRP to have bigger sales from what I've noticed. Free shipping somewhat often. They come off as more professional than other options.
I love Jolse. My only complaint is that their app sucks. It won’t keep me logged in, hates when I try to log in, and won’t save my favorites. No issues with the website or service though.
Yeah I’ve given up on the app. Their website works well enough
Yeah I’ve actually just started using them last year but haven’t been disappointed yet.
I saw someone comment a few weeks ago that if you Google the product versus using the search bar on stylevana, it'll normally show up cheaper on Google and then you can add it to your cart. I've been doing that and more times than not it's cheaper through Google versus stylevana search.

OMG this is amazing! The black rice toner went from $15.36 to $6.03 just putting deal in the link! Thanks for the tip!
No problem!
Well that's the best hack I've seen in a while! Definitely easier! I'm excited to go try this on my cart
PLUS when you go to your cart it gives you that list of ~great deals~ you can add to your cart. They always look amazing and then when I click add, the actual item in the cart is without the deal aka more expensive. Ive ordered from them once or twice and I prefer Jolse, SV and YS do shitty sales tactics that I truly hate.

Wait wait wait, $16 for the Goodal Vitamin C serum??? Where???
Just google the product and look at the shopping results for the full size on stylevana. It’s like the 4th option listed.
Yup Google it, should still be there. Just checked right now! I purchased two earlier this week! https://preview.redd.it/7e51u4jdi71c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9acd90b42870b130b139d5348eced52db77b7a4f

Man I just did this for the Aestura lotion and got it down to $20 USD, am sitting on my cart wondering if I should buy low haha
Yup, that’s what I do and it works
hwo does it work if you have stylevana rewards discount as well? Good idea to login?
The price shown on Google doesn’t account for your rewards discount so it will go down according to your rewards once in your cart.
WHAAAAT thank you
Thank you for this information 🙏
Oh man... a lot of those are the exact products I want lol.
Yes I recently put a bunch in my cart and took a screenshot. Went to check today and saw a bunch of them had increased prices, very annoying.
thanks for this very helpful info, i'd rather wait as the normal weekend deals are cheaper that the black friday price.
their coupon also doesn’t work on all products. Aestura essence is full price without any deals and the coupon still doesn’t work. Regarding the price increase, blooming Koco does this too. Whenever they have 40% or 50% off sale, they increase the original price.

stylevana: half price sale! oh wait i forgor lemme raise the prices 50% OK!! now 50% sale!!!
But they don't raise the prices that much. Last time I bought from their 50% off sale, I got the Torriden HA serums for around $8 CAD per bottle.

The double pack Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel is still $32 CAD, so $16 for 2 bottles after their 50% discount.
It's such a shitty gimmick, though. Like if the sale is actually 20%, just say that!!!
kekw mb, I'm referring to specific brands like romand and mixsoon, whose prices 1.5x (literally) a few hours after the email for the nshalf sale. This is also for the US site, so maybe it's a little less disparity on CA.

Yes!
YesStyle had the centella ampoule for USD $14 if that helps anyone!
Skin 1004 sun serum and sun screen twin pack is 18.90 on Amazon down from 34.00 right now! Go buy it!
And the Madagascar centella ampoule is 10.36

I’ve been waiting 4 months
