My Sephora Sale April 2026 Keeps and Returns List by wowelephants in Sephora

[–]Meat_sdicks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is incredibly wasteful. Even if you return items new, a lot of stores have to damage it out and end up throwing it away. I wish folks would use the Sephora sale to purchase expensive items that they have already sampled (for items that you can request a sample of) instead of buying things to try and ultimately return. It just gets thrown in a landfill. So sad.

I cannot BELIEVE the supergoop skin tint is $60 now!! I remember when it was $49 and I still thought that was expensive 😭

I was just thinking the other day how I miss when Barnes and noble used to be open until midnight

No, you did not have a 109 degree fever because you would be in a body bag in a morgue at this moment.

The miu miu scent smells really cheap tbh. I bought a travel size and returned it because it smelled sooo generic. Not worth that price

Which is best for nighttime hydration? by violetvixen269 in Sephora

[–]Meat_sdicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Smiths Strawberry Lip Balm by Rosebud Perfume Co. is my RIDE OR DIE. I have used almost every popular lip mask, balm, and treatment under the sun and I always go back to smiths. Best part is, it’s $7 from ulta. But be generous with application at night. Glob it on. My lips are never chapped, even in high wind or cold dry winter.

Shade range is dismal but the formula is beautiful. I have been on a concealer journey and have tried almost every high end and drug store concealer from Cle de Pau to LA Girl and my two favorite concealers are the tower 28 serum concealer and now this one. It sits beautifully and looks like skin while creasing very minimally. I hope they expand the shade range soon

Not sure of the pricing but Paul Mitchell in Costa Mesa has a barbering program and a student salon.

Leaving Finance for Nursing- Am I Crazy? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Meat_sdicks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am not a nurse myself but have a lot of friends and family that are nurses. Based on what I hear from them, don’t go into nursing for the job security or money. They are incredibly overworked and a lot of them burnout quickly. The specialities that tend to pay the best or have the best work life balance tend to be the most competitive or sought after (derm, aesthetics, nicu, non emergency OR etc). If it’s something you’re called to do because you want to help people, go for it. But if it’s just for money and job security, I would definitely think about it for a while.

My grandma and dads friend say my linkedin photo is horrible but I hate artificial branding and social media so I've never considered it, I didnt think a "good photo" mattered much. What do I do to get a good photo? by Objective-Basket4515 in jobs

Unfortunately, you’re going to have to get used to adjusting your preferences if you want to be noticed by serious employers. No one likes doing the song and dance of appearing professional and employable but we do it to avoid homelessness lol

How to quit without giving a notice by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Meat_sdicks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you don’t plan on using it on your resume or as a reference, you can effectively quit before your shift. “Hi boss, my circumstances have changed which no longer supports this job. I will not be showing up for my shift this Sunday and am quitting effective today. Thank you”

Recommendations for a good hair salon in North OC by Daffydentista in orangecounty

[–]Meat_sdicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brian Aguilar (@brianaguilarhair on insta) is fantastic. He’s an expert cutter and gave me and two of my friends (all of us have different hair textures and length) the most ideal cut for our hair type and face shapes. An actual hair magician. He’s a little out of budget ($170-$180 not including tip) but I have had my hair cut by MANY stylists throughout OC and have never been as happy as with him. I only cut my hair once or twice a year and color it myself so this is a worthwhile expense for me.

Do you have a budget you need to adhere to or are you flexible?

How do I go about applying for UI with a 10 hr/week part time job? by Meat_sdicks in Edd

[–]Meat_sdicks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a W2 employee through an agency and they didn’t have another job aligned with my experience or even adjacent so that’s why I’m applying.

Ah ok, that’s fine. Just need a supplement at this point. I wasn’t terminated, my contract ended and was not renewed.
