No exaggeration, this one will be staying with me for a while😔. When I saw it I felt my face immediately flush ( what even is that?) and I stopped breathing. When I saw the red box my eyes immediately filled.

As utterly sad as I am, I can say this is the first time it’s felt like a true honor to even be included in an offer that was really a false offer. Please, someone tell me there is a chance that I see her again someday in the future.

Beauty Friends, I felt the need to formally apologize for taking all of these lululun face masks to anyone who got the ghost and really wanted them. Also, I’ve really have wanted to discuss and commiserate on a few things for a few weeks now so here goes.

For reference, I’m currently about 2 months in from having beauty that I can order drop into my rfy more than once a month and I’m only about 2-3 wks into feeling confident Fred has me in his skincare bucket and possibly more beauty buckets.

There are some real moral battlegrounds and dilemmas w being in a desirable vine bucket that I am understanding more and more as I walk the path. I lose ( extra) minutes of sleep over it some nights because I do struggle with taking occasional offers merely to continually help build my beauty algo even when I’m not fully excited about them or know it’s not perfect for my skin/ hair/ preference etc. These masks are not that( more later ), but last night was a bit of a rollercoaster of ALL the emotions as I babysat my active RFY .

I was also offered the VERY nice Dr dennis gross peel pad set in a wee hour and I stared at it for a good 5 minutes deciding if I should leave it for someone whose skin would thrive with it or take it “only” bc I’d LOVEEE to be established w the brand, but also knew there was a good chance I would need to use the product on my body bc my face needs acids geared for sensitive skin ( and this wasn’t the sensitive peel line). It was a very nice $$ set which made the decision harder to take if not ideal. Yes, I finally decided to try to get it and it red boxed and for the first time I did feel a simultaneous relief, esp bc my face mask grab had already taken place earlier in the night.

This was followed by 2 INCREDIBLE beauty offers I wanted more than anything and wanted to shed a tear over when they red boxed😭. I really do get all the emotions involved here and went thru them all last night.

And back to the face masks, the night began when I was offered a Lululun face mask. It’s been a while since I’ve used Japanese face masks ( mostly moved that obsession over to hydrogel masks) but they were previously my favorite because of their eloquently thin nature & I do love Japanese skincare as much as Korean. Anyhow, first hourly offer said one mask & I grabbed it. Except come to find out this morning the order page actually says 7 pcs. Next hour they dropped me a variety 4 pack of lululun face masks. Of course Id love to try various options and at this point was still thinking the other was only one mask, so, I grabbed this too😬🫣. Next time I awoke I had a Redbox offer I wanted to again tear up over missing and then… a 28 pack of those Lululun face masks🙈. Y’all, I promise w everything in me, had that 28 pack just come first I would have never even considered ordering the first two offers I’d already grabbed! Whyyy couldn’t it come in first!?! Is this how people end up claiming 4 vacuums in one night, bc the most ideal model drops in last???? I was frustrated that Fred was making me have all these moral debates in hours I should be asleep and my brain was only half functioning. I thought I had 6 masks at this point and so yes, I grabbed the 28 pack. I was excited and felt bad all at the same time for it. And woke still struggling over this and decided I needed to just confess and apologize and when I saw the first even said 7 pieces I realized I needed to come offer to ship 1-2 to anyone any that would like to try them. Seriously, speak up bc it really would help me feel better.

Questions:
-Did we end up creating that sub for exchanging products with one another? I know this offer wasn’t liquid gold like others, but again I am still struggling with grabbing a few beauty things that aren’t ideal for me if it’s a brand or subcategory Im trying to get more established with so I think that is a terrific idea.

-Also, does anyone here “really” know where the line ends on requesting offers just to build an algo? Like for skincare, I’m feeling established enough that I’ve started leaving things I don’t feel are right for my skin if it seems the brand as a whole isn’t geared toward my skincare needs and preferences( well until a 2-3 day drought occurs). I’ve even left 2-3 hair care items this week for same reason. But makeup is rare to my rfy & highly desired so I’ve grabbed almost anything I’ve been offered and same for body items. When do we “know” you are “established” enough that we can start being more selective? And I ask this not only bc it seems it would only help Fred offer things truly ideal for my skin type and preferences if I leave what isn’t( I’m surprised how close he usually is, much better than my fastgrab AI choices), but also asking because i do care that these more half hearted requests mean another likely gets red boxed and has a lost opportunity to train their own algo.

I’m sure I think about this all way too much, (guilty there w everything😔). Any and all thoughts and discussion would be very helpful. Id love to gain confidence in leaving less than perfect items behind more still as a beauty newbie if it sounds like I’ve reached that milestone ( assuming there is one??)

Sorry so long but these thoughts, feelings and questions have been building for a few weeks now. Happy weekend guys!

After starting yesterday with a robot vacuum ghost offer ( huge white whale of mine) and a slow evening start to RFY last night I ended placing more orders in a 8 hr period than I have in a long while! I did meet two skincare ghosts in the early am on products I was excited about( I should know by now those 5 am offers never go through) but it helped to get to order this Benton product as that was one of my first Korean skincare brands I fell in love with years ago!
And I never expected to see Callaway pop into my RFY so such a treat! (Also had a really cool floating dock offer but my husbands working out of state so wasn’t able to discuss that offer & it was gone by morning)

Anyhow, w the beauty, Callaway, dock offer and even clean fiber supplement included I couldn’t help but admire how well my RFY pegged me in one single night amongst a variety of categories. It proved it really does “know me” when it wants to🤣 (still swear some nights it intentionally try’s to send misses).

All were RFY except the Naked Sunday ( was so excited to come across that in AI around 8am and snag it since sunscreen offers are still rare to pop into my RFY & I go through loads. After 2-3 slower nights of only grabbing 1 thing from my RFY this felt really nice! 😊

Nothing like starting your day by opening your RFY at 6 am, seeing your white whale robot mop/ vacuum sitting right there amongst all the random junk sent your way the last 48 hrs … and then getting red boxed 😭 Still recovering but…

This guy was a $999 etv… I’m going to keep the faith and hope I’ll see it again some day, or any other for that matter. Has anyone tried one of Yeedi’s robot vacuums to know how good their mapping & app is?
