I was under the impression that the snow globe was made of glass...but it's plastic??? How cheap! With the hike up in price, I was sure it was due to expensive packaging. From what I've read, there has been a decrease in product amount, and a spike in price. I'm a little disappointed :sigh:

I'm torn...i LOVE the overall look of the collection, but is it worth paying those prices? I remember when companies actually put more pride into their work. ...The quality of food, clothing, cars, electronics, cosmetics etc., seems to be on a steady downward path.

Many of my grandmother's cosmetic items that I was able to aquire are contained in glass jars, viles and pots. They managed to survive over 100 years. But companies have been cutting corners as of the past few decades. Plastic is not a luxury material
but we're still paying luxury prices :sigh:SandraVB79

Generally, I agree with certain expectations at a particular price point! Ordinarily I would find this too pricey but I really want the product. I actually don't mind the plastic, especially for travelling, I'm just glad it's not that cardboard :/

That's exactly what I was thinking! It will still make for a nice keepsake, but glass would have been all the more special
I think the standout pieces as far a keepsake item goes, would be the lipstick. I could see my granddaughters or great-granddaughters wanting to hold on to that in remembrance of me 
I'm still getting the meteorites, just wish it was made with more quality materials
But I can definitely see the functionality for those that want/plan to travel with it...if it was housed in cardboard, I would definitely not be picking it up!

most of the companies are being really cheep with their product packaging at least (and less and less product inside)
even chanel look at their body stuff like lotion or shower gel doesn't even have a pump or anything just a a big hole on top and it's 50 something $ . even Dove can put a damn pump on their lotion
recently i talked to one executive from large fragrance company about the product packaging change he said they will repackage all the body stuff into tubes instead of bottle with the pump because it's cheaper for them
a lot of women do not like glass because it's not travel friendly or it will break if it falls... I honestly do not care much about packaging unless it's super nonfunctional.
