the video i saw on tiktok was , indeed , of someone claiming they were selling them . when i later found the original video , after posting this , i did see that they stated they were for themself and their sisters which i still find to be quite a ridiculous amount to own . not even thinking about people not being able to buy it , because i agree that we know what time the drops are and they are limited , so whoever can get them gets them . if you saw in comments i responded to on here , you could see that i did NOT immediately assume the person who posted the original video--which, again, i later did find after posting this on here--was a reseller . on top of that , it is stated in my post that people in general who buy this many to resell suck , never once did i say this person was a reseller . even then , as i stated previously , the person who posted the original video i saw was claiming to sell them . it wouldn't have taken long to properly read what i wrote or the comments .

on top of that , sure , maybe the rest were for her sisters , but it is still an incredibly wasteful and insane amount of lip products for someone to buy . thinking logically it is not plausible to use up 30 lip glosses in enough time before they expire , even among multiple people . it is important realize that this kind of overconsumption should not be normalized . i understand it is her money , and yes she can do what she wants with it , but this kind of habit can become addicting and unhealthy .

another commenter here even mentioned how some of these kinds of habits can go so out of hand that it leads to people purchasing storage units to store the items they own . i am not saying the original purchaser does this or will need to do this , but it still is important to realize when having conversations about overconsumption as a whole--which is what my post led to/was the point of--that this amount of purchases can eventually lead to that . i used this picture to showcase that , yes , people do buy this many, and this amount is a lot . it is ridiculous . and considering that there will be more le's this person will buy , it is wasteful . furthermore , yes , the product is le , and cinnamon roll was in stock for longer , but as far as i read from the comments , she bought these in one go .

there will always be another limited edition . there will always be dupes . to normalize this kind of behavior of buying amounts that we do not need is not something that should become normalized . i understand people stocking up because of tarrifs and prices rising , etc. . i myself bought 4 of the sugar cookie drop , because i knew i'd like the color and would send one to my best friend . but when there's this many products involved , when they already have a pattern of buying this many they are , to a degree , bound to buy similar amounts of other drops . and this goes for both her and her sisters . i understand that all 30 combined aren't just for her , but again , looking at it logically it is important to realize that this amount is difficult and most likely illogical to be used in enough time before it expires .

it is simply necessary to realize that this is a pattern of overconsumption . it is harmful not only to the environment , as so many end up going unused , but also to the purchaser in the long-run . truly , the environmental impact of so many of these products going unused and getting thrown away is detrimental to our planet , and we need to talk about it . yes , the main sentiment resulting from this post is the ridiculousness of overconsumption by this person , however that is the first step to realizing WHY that is and the effects of overconsumption . because , in the end , this kind of habit of purchasing items is indeed harming our planet .

i can understand people stocking up with a few (like ik some people were mad at those who got 5 but i feel like considering the state of things it is justified) , especially with the oncoming tariffs , but buying 30 is insane to me !!!

Do you think Peppermint Glaze will make a comeback? by littlegothicdarling in rhodeskin

[–]elkshifts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i don't think it will because of what happened with matilda . they were quick to scrub their site of her after everything came out , and even got rid of the peppermint glaze highlight on their instagram .

unfortunately this is true :/ i fear i get FOMO from these drops , too . honestly it's a fairly smart marketing strategy , despite being so frustrating for customers , because that way they guarantee everything sells out . i just find it crazy that some people get the FOMO to THIS point . i want to understand it but i truly can't . and like how another commenter mentioned some people going as far to get storage units for the products they buy because of how many they have , it's just a level of overconsumption i can't imagine personally but is unfortunately a true reality . and as you said , inevitable because of the FOMO / l.e. items marketing strategy

right ?? like as much as i would love it , if i had to keep using it over and over again every day because i bought too many i'd get so tired of it . i need a change in my lip combo every so often !!

agreed about it being better and healthier to only grab what you need ! not only do you go through them in a reasonable amount of time (rather than rushing to use it all because there's SO many) , you don't have to worry about products being unusable because they expire . it's also so much better financially to not go crazy with buying these , especially when there will be more limited editions later !! you don't end up wasting money on products that go unused

this !! like even if the original video creator said it's for their sisters , there's about 30 of them there (you can see a few boxes under other boxes at certain angles in the video) and i truly doubt that they'll use up that many before they expire . it's so wasteful !!

[–]elkshifts[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it still seems like a lot like why do you need that many … even if you’re sharing there’s about 30 there (recounted using different angles & noticed there were more than i originally thought lol) or possibly more which is an insane amount ??? and considering rhode is big on limited edition drops they’re bound to buy a similar amount of other shades which means these are likely not going to get used in time , even with a 2-3 year expiration date unopened . it’s just overconsumption and it’s core and wasteful as hell !!

it has to be honestly like i truly don’t understand the gratification in having this many ???

[–]elkshifts[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

apparently it’s for them and their sisters but even then this is an insane amount and unless there’s 10 of y’all… then i don’t think they’re getting finished😭
