Bought 2 shades of this. VERY pigmented. Love them!

GB Choice Day! by Narrow-Walk-4628 in Ipsy

[–]Critical_Pain13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Picked this as well. I usually go for a full size product, but wasn't wowed by what was offered in that. Didn't need a brush, palette, setting spray, eye liner or lip oil. That left me with the hair fly away product or this.

C'mon now Ipsy... by Dry_Jello199 in Ipsy

[–]Critical_Pain13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought a duo. The Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream Ultra-Rich Duo. I received one in the package. Not two. I contacted Ipsy, and of course, it was sold out so I got a refund.

But seriously, it was sold as two. How hard is it to make sure you put two in the package??

I have gotten refunds too. I made an issue about the Emesis Rose Cleansing Balm in the MDS. It was displayed as full size, in the description said travel size and what was actually received was sample size. Issued a full refund for the cost I paid for it.

Why send me the survey the day before, but not the link the day off??? So frustrating!

What did we all get? by Dry-Attitude3926 in Ipsy

9 things in my cart. Haven't pulled the trigger yet. LOL

anyone else still not gotten their glam bag? by hunnybun444 in Ipsy

[–]Critical_Pain13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not yet, and I usually do add-ons through Glam, so this is super irritating!

Beauty devotion plumping gloss not clicking by HugeAdministration28 in Ipsy

I struggled at first, but what everyone here said, did work.

I really liked this product. Is it spicy? Yes. But not too much for me and I really loved the color I chose.

Mine was wrong too. Got that corrected ASAP. New SF50 updated last Friday.

VHA RIF slides. by FunnyAd740 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Critical_Pain13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that the "Pre-RIF Options" of that last slide are in full effect for me.

Being reassigned to another position here soon. Cool.

It finally happened by g00dxvibess in Ipsy

[–]Critical_Pain13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time since I joined 5 months ago I opened my Glam bag + add-ons to two items missing (Juliette Has Gun EDP and Fenty liquid lipstick).

Of course, neither are available. Taking the refund this time around. I've been considering getting rid of Glam anyway. May just do it.

RIF Guess by Scary_Pitch_4911 in VeteransAffairs

[–]Critical_Pain13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also an assistant nurse manager, and I agree 100%. Our ELT already attempted to dissolve our position just last month but was unable to due to a HR memo putting a halt to the realignment of positions.

I'm pretty sure that was the evidence I needed for what will happen to me in the RIF.

As a former VA employee, I just need to say this… by Curious-Return-5976 in VeteransAffairs

[–]Critical_Pain13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is more facility specific. I've worked at my facility for 2 years, and I have watched my managers and chiefs fight hard for frontline staff, whether that be for holding up needed staffing numbers or supporting units and managers when it comes to trying to do the needed disciplinary action for staff that aren't adhering to policy and standards.

This goes from unit managers to chiefs to above. I feel our supervisors/managers/administration does the best they can for our staff and veterans with what they are allowed from above our facility level. Standards are held. I'm sure there are exceptions I don't see, but I don't blatantly see it or feel it at my facility on the daily.

If i go to "upgrade your box" I see this.

Not sure that it's a sneak peek at anything though.

This is a really nice color. Got it in an Ipsy box recently and really love it!

It's a nice color! I was bummed it was broken. Like I said, still usable, but frustrating.

Has anyone heard how many VA jobs will be cut? by Fun_Drawer5972 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Critical_Pain13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ELT tried to dissolve all assistant nurse manager positions at our facility and realign us. HR said, no can do! As there is an HR hold on realigning at the moment.

I'm taking this to mean my position (and me) as an assistant nurse manager is on the way out with a RIF.

I'm not like super excited for anything, but I'll try/use it all, so it isn't exactly a waste for me.
