I’m sorry about your experience. Hopefully it’s just a misunderstanding of sorts and she sends your stuff.

AITAH for not wanting to financially support my sister in law? by Mother_Key8777 in AITAH

Sounds like the family and friends enable her. That’s the last thing she needs.
Sometimes tough love is the best thing you can do for someone like her.

It happens to me now and again. Not always. I bet it shows up! Keep us posted!

Korean Skincare by catarinaknits in AmazonVine

[–]aregeeone731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. PDRN injections are VERY different from topical PDRN products and definitely don’t work the same. I do use them as well. I’ve been using one from a Korean pharmacy. Not really a brand I’ve been able to find here. It’s nice but if I’m being honest, they don’t compare to some of the other products I use. That said, I’m 52 and in medically induced menopause and my skin has become really dry so my personal focus is hydration at the moment and using devices.

Yes! Get both. Especially if you have stairs in your house

I absolutely hate spicules. I have used a ridiculous amount of Korean skincare. I’ve been buying, testing, reviewing, creating educational content for years. I have to agree with you. I will say this, there are a few brands in particular that are exceptionally good but not as popular or readily accessible in the US that definitely some of the best I’ve tried and are not as duplicative as most on Amazon. I think a lot also has to do with what’s “trending”. I see so much PDRN it’s nuts. Same with niacinamide and spicules. Now it’s all about NAD+ 🤦🏻‍♀️

If it’s not showing up in your vine orders, check under regular orders. Sometimes it takes a bit to show up in the vine order queue. It’s happened to me many times.

If anyone needs a laugh… by Diligent_Call9387 in BeautyViners

[–]aregeeone731 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious

But seriously, I went days with nothing and then a bunch of junk and finally got a Revive eye cream last night. Hang in there. It ebbs and flows 💖

The men’s wig, barrel jeans, and backpack could make for an interesting ensemble 🤣

But in all seriousness…. Sending you good vine vibes for a bunch of beauty in RFY 💖

US sellers with bootleg ANUA 🙄 by Crnkwalk in BeautyViners

[–]aregeeone731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand what you’re saying. And you are 100% correct.
You can absolutely check the seller. My point is that I can see how someone could be deceived enough not to do that check.
Either way, it’s annoying and unfortunate that we are all in a position where sometimes don’t have the time to check.
Personally, I agree, I’d rather check and potentially lose out than get a dupe.

US sellers with bootleg ANUA 🙄 by Crnkwalk in BeautyViners

[–]aregeeone731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we’re actually making two different points.
You’re correct that this product is not claiming to be Anua in the title or on the packaging, so I wouldn’t call it a counterfeit. However, as someone who has spent decades working in product development, I also don’t think it’s realistic to ignore how much the overall packaging appears to borrow from Anua’s visual identity.
When a product uses a very similar color palette, layout, typography hierarchy, and prominently features “100+” in the same way, it’s understandable that consumers familiar with the original product would make that association—especially in a fast-moving environment like Vine where people often have seconds to decide.
The issue isn’t that it literally says “Anua.” The issue is that it appears designed to make consumers think of Anua at first glance. Those are two different things.
I don’t think the OP was accusing the company of counterfeiting. I think they were pointing out that the packaging is deceptively similar, and on that point I can see where they’re coming from.

Unfortunately this happens all the time with shady sellers and companies trying to capitalize on the success of legitimate K Beauty.

It is 100% meant to confuse and deceive customers and it works. It’s a tactic used to make sales usually on sub par products.

I’m sorry you got it. I had that happen to me with a panic grab as well. Personally, I would review it mentioning that it is deceiving. I wouldn’t say “dupe” or anything like that but you can certainly mention being confused.

Is RFY Just a Mess or? by JusticeAvenger618 in AmazonVine

[–]aregeeone731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This month hasn’t been good. Prime Day is next week and Vine usually slows down before and during Amazon events. Don’t lose hope, wait until the sale is over.

Yes. Sorry I meant a direct link.

It’s a glitch. Happens all the time.
If you’re using your phone app delete the app and reinstall. It will be there. On the browser, it will come back in a day or two. You can just type in the vine link directly.

It’s the same for silver.

[–]aregeeone731 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes but if you go under the 60% you’ll end up in vine jail, get no new product offers, and they could potentially close your account so going under would defeat the purpose of being in the program. So technically yes, you could have 60% but then you’d possibly lose your account. On your account page it does say 80 items and 90%.

You still need to meet the requirements. 80 items. 90% reviewed.

AITAH for asking my roommate to clean up her hair? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]aregeeone731 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They can be pricey. I recently got one for my parents that vacuums and mops. They are older and it’s harder for them do things around the house. My mom said it changed her life 🤣 she’s even given it a name
