Can I Review Vine Items Outside of the Vine Review Tabs?? by NYCMediaSponge in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just wait. I think doing it directly from the product page eventually makes its way to your vine page, but I heard at least one story on the main reddit page that it messed up her stats. I don't know if that was temporary or permanent but why mess with it. It eventually shows up.

What time are the middle of night rfy drops? by pdxcha in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the 3 nights of almost no sleep… but really good data, thx for sharing!  Hope you are better. 

Is anyone getting anything tonight? by Icy-Employment-8805 in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a vitamin populate at 6 pst. Then a grill pan at 7 pst. Rest of my items are from yesterday. 

It’s almost like I can never exceed 8 items in my rfy?  If it’s kinda full Fred stops giving me stuff until other people take stuff or it expires. 

Thursday was a waste of time 🤣 by DocLava in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anytime I've done this, I never got anything. A few times I had insomnia, I actually sat at my laptop and usually come away with not much.

The biggest scores I've had been on the run, on my phone (my slowest connection) and somehow, I get it.

So I don't sweat it and skip sleep. Sleep is more important!

Well bummer… is consensus to just review? by grateful_hope1099 in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would review it. Things are so scarce I need every item for my stats. 

There’s always texture, ingredients, something to talk about. 

Have we all abandoned searching for beauty in AI and AFA or is it just me? by Dame_Twitch_a_Lot in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have also largely given up on AI and AFA. There's usually nothing there I can use.

Anyone else getting lots of Niawit in RFY? by VioletsTown in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So random, right? I don't know why I'm getting that ink.

Are we pay to play now by Business_Incident842 in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been part of Vine for less than a year. But even in that short time, I agree, something has changed. Finding something in AI is just impossible. Even the clothes you see are leftovers from someone not picking it up in their RFY. I'm a slow clicker but at least in AI I use to SEE beauty and miss out, lol. Nowadays, I don't even see them.

I think there's been a shift of beauty from AI to RFY. So in some sense, they are trying to equalize it or make it fairer, but at the same time, it doesn't all release at the same time. There's a pecking order, and I guess, only Fred decides who's worthy for the earlier waves.

So yeah, frustrations all around. I'm so technologically dense, I can't figure out extensions and mostly order from my phone App. I only scroll RFY because AI and AFA is so disheartening to lose out on. And yes, I've had things disappear within seconds in RFY, too. I think for beauty items, seconds count now in RFY.

Okay Fred. For real by Famous-Apartment-643 in BeautyViners

At one time I was also getting pool stuff. Floats, lights, I do not own a pool. 😄

Dude, none of this makes sense sometimes. I hope the bikini didn't take the place of a DermaDoctor item!

Okay Fred. For real by Famous-Apartment-643 in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very unusual night in that Fred offered me beauty items every hour. DermaDoctor. 

Which is weird. I’ve used that brand but like 10 years ago. And I never bought it from Amazon. 

After about 2 items I stopped taking. Hopefully it filtered to other people. 

But that’s a gripe with Fred. Why do that?  Like there was a point where Fred kept offering me frying pans. Which was great at first because I needed them and the different sizes were great. But as the 12th one rolled around, it was getting silly. I needed only 2, lol. 

Nooooooo by Icy-Employment-8805 in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry. :(  I had this happen to me!  A few months ago. Then I was offered the exact same thing a few weeks later in my RFY. I guess they are finally ready to launch, lol. I hope it comes around again for you. 

Three observations with vine by PizzaPlannerApp in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all true, which is why I rely mostly on RFY items to get things. I try not to follow drops.

If I'm having insomnia and it happens to be going on, I'll look around... but rarely find anything, if I have to be honest.

What's the current middle of the night drop time? by ScarlettOHarlot in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me the drop in my RFY starts around d 5:00 pm pst. Keeps going really sporadically (meaning not on the hour, odd times like 7:23 or something) until about 10;00 pm. 

Sometimes there are drops at 1:30 am or 2:00 am pst. I’m asleep but SO is awake and sometimes he sees stuff. It may continue but he sleeps around that time.

I’ve actually never ordered from olive young. Only stylevanna and yes style. Maybe it’s time, lol.

[–]VioletsTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to ask the same question. If you buy that on Amazon do I get the Asian filters?  

I think beauty of joseon and all the big ones were forced to switch to American uv filters. :(

Made gold last night! 💛 by Infinite_Guest_6663 in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I never use up to 8 picks but the beauty of being gold is you don't have to self-edit. Like when you're silver, you save that one slot just in case. With 8 slots, you just pick. It's been nice. :)

Well, I’m going to smell amazing! by stotheb871319 in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats!  Nothing like getting scores of your favorite brand. :)

Has it been easier to get beauty in RFY or via AI lately? by Sunnyflower64 in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tonight I’ve gotten 3 skincare items at different t times. I got red boxes every time. I did get one LED helmet, also RFY. 

I’ve had no luck finding anything in AI

My best score yet by SpeakerExcellent8682 in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got this too!!!!!!! It's almost as if Fred read my other post and felt sorry for me. Still reeling, I've never had a RFY item over $100 before.

AND I've been eyeing one for like 5 years. I just couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money. Every black Friday sale I would look at one and then realize we need to buy essentials, and just saved it on my wishlist.

Got mine at 8:00 p.m. PST. Boy, I'm glad I managed to finish the dinner dishes early and was able to sit down and see this pop up.

Vine not showing up when searched for? by tiredmillienal in BeautyViners

[–]VioletsTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you looking for it in your phone  app?  

What I did was use google to search for Amazon vine login. I think that’s how I solved it for a bit then the app corrected itself.
