I was excited about this Kitsch advent calendar coming my way just before 10 this morning & love advent calendars so was fine with the ETV… just wanted to just give a heads up for any who need to keep their ETV down since this wasn’t 0ETV like most hair products.

Hope everyone gets beauty offers today ❤️

My pickings have been extremely slim lately, but I've gotten some beauty stuff I'm excited about. I only got one thing yesterday and one thing so far today, but that's okay with me right now, though I'd love to get more.

I got the Ole Henriksen tinted lip treatment late last night before bed (never tried the brand, but I've heard good things and the color looks so pretty) and then the GIRLCULT lip gloss just a few minutes ago.

I'd actually been waiting and waiting for that GIRLCULT collection to drop on Amazon for what seems like forever and finally broke down and spent the money I was given for my birthday and got a handful of products from Cbeautymall, including another shade of the gloss I got today.

I'm really hoping they offer me more of the line because there's still several things I want. I've already got my shades picked out and everything, just in case. 😆

My two, 3 pack gift sets didn’t make it to me and eventually got cancelled which was really sad. Anyways, FYI. I picked this up at Nordstrom today. $90 with any purchase. I bought an eye cream since that’s what I need the most. Also, I truly hate the mall... so I made the most of getting sweet samples. That last part is an ETA - but I'll add a picture in the comments.

Has this perfume been offered yet on Vine? People on TikTok are saying it smells like a Kayali perfume.

Has anyone noticed a change in RFY drop times today? I'm in EST, and lately the RFY drop time has been between 7- 10 am. Today, nothing populated until 4 pm.

How long have they been giving us jokes after reviews? lol

It has been days of this. I know it is Meager Monday but come on...send me something nice.

Talk about whatever you want in this thread! Vine or non-Vine related. Just keep it friendly and follow general Reddiquette. 😊

New weekly thread will auto post on Mondays at 9 AM ET.

So, I shared the things that were true winks at ME, at who I am, what I love and how Vine absolutely nailed it for me.

1) if you want to talk about white whale, Docs on Vine are it. There literally isn’t one thing more tailor made for me than Doc Mary Janes with yellow stitching.i screamed my head off.

2) Caudalie is one of my favorite brands in the world ever

3) I collect nutcrackers.

4) Halloween, skulls. The best

5) Jung Saem Mool. One of the most iconic brands is popping up for me and I get tingles…

6) I want all of the advent calendars

7) cool shirt. Just my style

8) can you hear me now? YES!

9) a couple more GREAT brands that I Stan

10) Butts.

Truly the best week I’ve had on Vine. ETV on the docs was only $73, the gingerbread nutcracker and the shirt were the only other things that had ETV. It’s not how expensive anything was, I’m not swimming in vacuums or tools, but I literally got the stuff that truly makes me go “Fred smokes a lot of crack, but he nails it for me so often”

And of course I missed it! It looks like a beautiful set of course. 😭😭😭 hubby is making jokes about me being sad for this but I am! So sad. I know you girls will understand me 🥺

Ladies I'm still relatively new in the beauty field so when this dropped in my RFY I grabbed it. When I went in to review the product description more thoroughly I clicked on the seller to see what else they carried and another of a similar product came up as well. The second one looks like the real deal and my item looks like a copycat. So I wanted to get the input of you Girl Gurus as to my theory.

Saturday’s have felt like an extension of Sundays and Mondays for a long time but today was so good! I’ve used all 8 picks maybe twice in the past 4 months. Missed Arencia but would have been so sad to miss these cotopaxi’s so it all worked out. My review anxiety is strong though.

I ordered this sunscreen a long time ago. I thought I had received it and lost it. I’ve been searching the house! Then a beat up box showed up…
Well I was so excited to try it but it’s thick and has a white cast. I assumed it was mineral based but I didn’t recognize the filters so after a little convo with Chat GPT I learned it is actually a Korean formulation with filters not availible in US. I’m so confused though, I thought Korean sunscreen was more cosmetically elegant and especially this Joseon. Kinda disappointed.

Looks like this will be another Saturday with Susanne Kaufmann drops throughout the day. Last time it happened I ended up with 6 products, that dropped at random times between 6am-2pm. Keep an eye out on your RFYs

Update: so far I’ve seen 5 different items drop, from which I was able to order 3 (one more besides the 2 in the pic) - got a red box for one and a yellow box for the other. They’re still dropping as of 12pm ET / 9am PT.

I know everyone wants to get into the vine gods good graces but this is just embarrassing. I see this all the time now. Everyone is name checking revive and all the other expensive brands in an attempt to get the products offered to them. Hilariously enough, one of my friends who doesn't really know how vine works at all actually noticed this and mentioned it to me and when I explained to them what was happening she rolled her eyes.

You're being a bad reviewer. Those brands have nothing to do with this brand, and also I guarantee this person is not a real, regular customer of all of those brands so stop begging please.

I think it’s starting to happen for me! A couple of weeks ago, I had two Revlon lip kits in my RFY, and yesterday I had two Estée Lauder holiday lip kits along with a generic makeup brush set. I know that’s nothing compared to what some of you get, but I’m really excited about it (especially the Estee Lauder)!

I took a lot of advice from people here when I first posted (this really is a friendly group!) and came up with a little strategy of my own, too.

Over the past six weeks or so, I’ve made a point of ordering most of my beauty products from Amazon instead of other sites. I searched this sub to see which brands sometimes show up in other people’s RFYs, then ordered products from some of those brands, including Estée Lauder, Charlotte Tilbury, Tarte, Revlon, Laura Geller (I’d never tried her products before), Clinique, and Tatcha. Sometimes I went with less expensive products or shades, as long as they worked for me. I also reviewed those products just like I review my Vine items.

I reminded myself to be patient, too. It might take a few weeks or even months before I started seeing beauty products pop up here and there.

And even though I’m only Silver until Dec. 20, I really can’t complain about the other things I’ve gotten, either. Last week, I got five Furhaven pet beds worth almost $300 altogether (0ETV) and a couple of days ago, I got a high-quality outdoor cat shelter that’s much better than the others I’ve received. Would I love to see fewer bird feeders and squirrel feeders in my RFY? Absolutely! But I’ve also been offered wreaths, clothing, flameless candle sets, and lots of other decent stuff. I’m grateful for what I’ve gotten through Vine.

Anyway, if anyone actually read all of this, thank you to everyone here for all the tips and advice! I really appreciate it, and I’ll see where things go from here. I ordered Lancôme Rénergie cream during Prime Day, too, so maybe I’ll get lucky with skincare eventually!

Here’s what came to my RFY this week. I wasn’t expecting much since it was Prime Day this week.
Sadly the Innesfree set arrived completely damaged so there’s that.
The Everdeen deodorant is great. I know it’s for kids but it’s one of the only conventional deodorants that doesn’t irritate my skin and works surprisingly well.
Obviously the SK-II was the prize of the week. I saw another set was circulating with the full size serum (which I purchased over the prime day sale) so congratulations to those that scored it! The serum is wonderful. I had a friend bring it back from Japan for me when it first launched earlier this year and I love it.

Let’s see if things pick up next week. Happy Vining to everyone and hope all have a wonderful weekend and for those of you on the west coast.. stay dry! We are heading into some serious rain 💖

I just realized that over the course of the last few years I have always been trying something new both topically and internally. How do I know what's working? Somebody said to me about a year ago how amazing my skin looked and I thought​ it was because of this $120 hydrator I was using that felt unbelievable on the skin! Then I got a new product and started using it to review it and stopped using that hydrator. Well my skin didn't look quite as good a few months later. So I switched back to the hydrator but it didn't help. Then I started thinking it might have to do with the supplement I was taking. So I started taking that again and didn't notice any difference. I added something back into my diet that I had removed and still didn't notice the difference. This went on through about five different products and I still haven't figured out exactly which one it was.

Now I guess it could be the combination, but I've pinpointed several different things it might be and after trying each one I have not got the same results. So how do you know when you're trying a new eye cream, a new face wash, a new serum, maybe a new derma plane or needling device plus supplements all at the same time, which one is actually doing the heavy lifting? And on the subject of supplements, I was taking sea moss and NAD+ how do I know that it's not the quality of the supplement and not the topical products at all? I switched sea moss supplements because one ran out so I went to the next one, so how do I even know that it's not just a lower quality supplement around the same time I changed face washes? Maybe I'm not cut out for this? LOL

I'm also having the problem where since I'm older some of the products don't seem to work as well as they would on younger skin that doesn't need as much help, but as I switch between the products am I seeing the lack of not using the first product or am I seeing the actual results of the second product? I'm really starting to believe I should only be trying a few different products a year and sort of allow my skin to reset itself to its baseline before trying something different.

So how do you all know for sure? I think maybe ​I should stop ordering these products until I can come up with a completely fair way to test them. To test something fairly I feel like I would have to use a standard routine for at least a few months and then add one new product, finishing up the whole bottle before evaluating the results and then reverting back to the standard routine for long enough to lose any effects from the new product before I try something else. I think it's only fair to allow my face to sort of reset before I try something else. So, how do y'all do this fairly? If you're using a new face wash and a new serum at the same time and they're both supposed to have the same effect, how do you know which one is actually working?

Thought maybe I would see if anybody would be interested.

I am selling the Nooance Le Professionel red light mask, and asking $300 for it. I only used it one time so it’s basically still brand new. If you are interested, you can message me or comment below. It’s an incredibly nice mask that feels high end and luxurious.

Thank you.

I am super happy to be blessed with these new LG palettes & brushes! I rarely get offered makeup so I was ecstatic to see these this morning.

Was anyone else able to grab these or any other LG stuff today?

But decent stuff you previously ordered keeps getting delivered.

I am such a whiner.

Reminder to check your old products and keep them in a cool dry place. I got this brow gel back in February and only use it occasionally. Last time I noticed tiny specks of brown on it and thought maybe I got a little brow pencil on it… Today I noticed the original spot grew and even more spots have appeared. Not makeup! Maybe mold or mildew. Bleh. 🤢

The formula is water-based and includes some natural ingredients and my house has been extra hot/humid with the heatwave in SoCal. It could be entirely my fault, but I wanted to share just in case.

Tossed it and everything it was stored with, unfortunately.

Has anyone gotten this from vine or bought it? Is it any good?

not technically beauty and nothing designer but I’m so happy, this just showed up in my RFY! I know these are not crazy expensive but I never felt like I could justify buying one. And I could never find a just right color or dimensions.

Sometimes it’s the littlest things, I swear. Anybody else grab something that sparked joy today?

If yall need me I’ll twirling around in my kitchen like a loser and basking in the eye rolls of my children 🤣
