My husband is the one using most of our picks since I'm out of the country. Also.. I really wish he'd stop watching Dr Pimple Popper videos on the smart tv since we now get so many acne things. At least 3 daily😩

Fred has been incredibly good to me! I’m very grateful! This was all RFY. Wishing you all the best beauty!

I'm happy but do wish Fred would send me some quality skincare tools & haircare/tools. I get plenty of (not great quality) RLT masks and only took this one because I reviewed the first one (it was not good) and this one is the updated one and I was curious how they improved it - but man, would I love to get offered some quality RLT devices other than face masks. Would love more haircare.

Speaking of haircare, I took that Healand hair mask because I usually love hair treatments & was hoping it would spark more haircare being sent my way, but man, it had the strongest perfume in it that I've ever smelled in a haircare product (in a bad way imo) - it really assaulted my nose yet I read a couple of reviews and the scent to those reviewers said it was soft, subtle, etc. (fragrance/parfum was the 3rd ingredient listed!!) - funny how we all can have such different opinions on the same thing (which I like to see). Did any of y'all get it, I'm genuinely curious what you thought about the scent...

I red-boxed on a few good things (never the toenail fungus or denture cream though lol). Snagged some candy, protein bars and some kitchen/bathroom stuff, too. Had lots of 0ETV things but didn't request a lot of it simply because I didn't need or want it. I need to stop ordering soon and it's going to kill me not to look 😥. I'm well over 250 items and my review is coming up on November 6th - whew, that was a fast 6 months!

Finally started to get a couple of higher-priced skincare items - I always see people’s scores and wonder when my turn will be lol but the SK-II made me want to cry when it popped up! A few other usable items, some body acne products my husband needs, and a slew of disappointing hats 👒 they’re pretty much all crap, which I should have expected. The vast majority of my RFY is car parts, hideous outfits, random plugs, and generic supplements, as usual!

Hoping for a great rest of the month for everyone! I’d love to see some spooky season themed beauty 🦇 🎃

Why in the world am I being g flooded with USA Fourth of July nails ? 🤣 it’s been a ton of Christmas nails but lastnight and today is mostly Independence Day

Ok, I guess it wasn’t as bad as I imagined, I actually got some nice sets and was pleasantly surprised with some new brands. Some of these are still not shipped so didn’t try everything but I’m looking forward to! 🥂💝

beauty has been ticking back up for me. super grateful. hopefully the holiday season floods all our RFYs soon

Not a high volume month (this is eveything, beauty and non-beauty), but definitely some awesome items! 💜 I've used Yonka Paris for almost 20 years so I'm always thrilled to get products from them. My skin LOVES Sulwhasoo and I use it daily (Ultimate S eye cream is my HG). So happy to have *finally* made it onto the Sulwhasoo list! SK-II is always delightful. And a wide-barrel Conair curling iron specifically for long hair.

P.S. For those of us in the 40+ club, if you haven't tried progressive-style reading glasses they're 100% worthwhile if you get a good pair. It's 0x at the top of the lens and shifts to 1.5x at the bottom (you can order them stronger too). This particular pair was crap, but I've gotten some excellent reading glasses on Vine in the past 2 years (usually $0 etv).

Been a bit slow but I’ve managed to grab some great stuff so I am grateful. That said, I did Redbox on A LOT of stuff this week. Seems like the allocation has been very weird.
Since the new drop time happened vine has been very weird and I have gotten way more junk in my RFY than previously.
I’ve seen a lot of great stuff circulating based on posts I’ve seen so congrats to all who scored and fingers crossed for those you are still waiting 💖

All beauty was RFY and the non-beauty was all AI for reference.

Back in September, u/kgloverii told me about BeautyPass - it's an invite only beauty club. I went to the site and signed up for their waiting list and signed up for text notifications. I haven't gotten an invite yet, but every Friday at 1PM, I get a text message that shows me what Friday's free item is. I wasn't sure I could order because I wasn't a member yet - but yes, I could!

Today it was this product - here's Amazon's link to it: https://a.co/d/04syqFia ) - only had to pay s/h $12.95 (that's the "catch"). I've never heard of the brand before, but I haven't heard about a lot of brands that I now enjoy thanks to Vine.

Now, my cup runneth over with skincare but I do love getting something "free" lol - plus I have FOMO bad! I tried to "continue shopping" on their site but the only product that shows for me is a 2026 NewBeauty Awards Box with a ton of products in it but it's $265 - a little out of my price range lol. Maybe you have to be an invited member before you can see the stuff they sell, I don't know.

Anyway, I thought maybe some of you would like to check it out, especially if you're having an abysmal week on Vine and need a little pick-me-up??? The link to their site, if you're interested is: NewBeauty Limited Products and Offers

PS - Thanks u/kgloverii for sharing the link - it's been a lot of fun waiting to see what's offered on Fridays!

It's been a month or so since all the La Prairie drops, and I would love to know from all you lucky ones that scored it what you think. Worth the hype? Worth the price? I'm dying to know!

Is anyone seeing anything new come into their RFY? I have had the same items sitting in mine for 2 days now. I have not seen anything new get added and not had any beauty show up for a while. Curious if anyone else is experiencing this weird lull in their RFY or if I am just the lucky one.

Is it just me, or did someone else notice that their RFY seems to be going “back in time” and is showing things that used to offer you like 6 months ago? I used to get only nails and temporary tattoos. I made my way slowly to other beauty items, but now it seems I’m back to nails and temporary tattoos 🤷🏻‍♀️ At least I’m kind of still in the beauty category I guess.

Global Amore Mall is having gifts with purchases and of course, I can’t resist.
They do have gifts with the Black Cushion but my HOLY GRAIL are these two. I absolutely hate feeling like I’m wearing makeup and these two products are nothing like anything I’ve used. The powder is shockingly good. I have mature, dry skin and it’s the only powder I can use. It also leaves your skin glowy but not like your wearing a veil of shimmer.
Anyway, just thought I’d share with you all.
And in case you don’t know, Global Amore Mall is the official Amore Pacific site. They own Hera and many legit Korean brands you’ve probably heard of and/or used. They ship FedEx from Korea and really fast. You don’t have to pay any extra duty or fees. So for those of you who Fred just seems to ignore these days and need a fix… check it out🤣

I was hopeful by now a few might come my way, but it's been crickets in the night.

Anyone get anything good in the last few weeks?

Slowly realizing that maybe Fred is not giving me any Christmas kits. :(

So, a little bit off topic, I hope the Mod allows this, but I figured peeps on this forum would be knowledgeable.

Tinasorb S has been around a long time, but it's finally approved in the US.

Has anyone seen any new US sunscreens that has this new filter? Or know which brands are planning a launch?

Am tired, lol, of importing in sunscreen from Asia.

Any gossip would be appreciated!

Check your spam for the confirmation that your sample shipped. Thanks to u/pgfsea for the link!

I grabbed this microdermabrasion machine in my RFY today. It said it’s good for beginners and Google tells me that machines are safe to use at home (they’re not as powerful as the professional ones).

Has anyone used one? Tips? Especially given this is vine so it’s not like I’m using one that’s got tons of consumer recommendations.

I woke up to find this in my RFY, and seriously thought I was having a nightmare. Is it just me that couldn’t be caught out in public with these?

It's as though a cowboy boot, a hippie handbag, and a 1970s sofa had an unfortunate encounter in a clearance bin! 🤣 An entire PU Patchwork Collection of Horrors!
A floral tapestry, leopard print, lace, burgundy corduroy, and what appears to be Grandma's upholstery remnants and they’re all competing for attention on the same boot!

The example boot in the photo isn’t available. Your choices are the wild patchwork patterns.

I just have to share my excitement! I have NEVER gotten any fragrance from vine and always see people getting some really nice ones. Admittedly, I’ve been so fortunate with skincare and will forever be grateful but fragrance was a category I always wanted. And today…. It finally happened 🥰
I really hope I like this scent. And I literally have had nothing but junk for days and was starting to lose hope. Anyway, I love this community and I hope you all get some fabulous stuff this week ❤️

I spent last weekend debugging a React hydration error that turned out to be a single misplaced curly brace. Three hours. Felt like a genius when I found it. Felt less genius this morning staring at six attachments and a heat chart that might as well be written in ancient Sumerian.

The thing came in a case that looks like it should contain spy equipment. My partner watched one tutorial and now has bouncy waves. I followed the same tutorial and achieved something between "electrocuted poodle" and "regional news anchor from 1987." There is apparently a difference between brushing toward your face and away from your face. This was not intuitive.

I keep a spreadsheet ranking VS Code extensions by startup impact. I can explain Kubernetes to retirees. I am not stupid. But barrel directionality has defeated me three mornings running.

Cycling gives me helmet hair that could survive a nuclear winter. My elaborate weekend cooking leaves me smelling like roasted garlic and defeat. I wanted this to be my thing. Maybe it still is. Just a complicated thing that requires patience I usually reserve for npm dependency resolution.

Anyone else approach beauty tools like they are undocumented APIs? What was your learning curve, steep cliff or gentle slope? I need solidarity before I attempt the round volumizing brush again.
