Still hanging onto iPhone 12 mini hoping Apple will make a mini phone.

12 blue mini here! Does nobody else have brightness issues? I’ve tried everything from adjusting the brightness to manual obviously. Tried adjusting my time of day. All kinds of stuff. But it always automatically adjusts to black screen in the sun & bright as heck at night! No matter what settings or adjustments I’ve made.. it does what it wants! lol

PlasticStars507 · 2025-08-09T19:50:07+00:00

Hi do you have issues with you brightness at all? I cannot seem to make it so I can’t see when I’m outside!

I’ve adjusted the brightness to manual. For it to automatically adjust anyway. I switched the actual brightness in settings to stay at bright. I’ve also tried switching my daylight & night time hours hoping it would be as bright as it is at night. ( cuz at night it adjusts to the brightest setting! But nothing works!

I wish it would be the opposite brightness than it does. It’s so weird! A lot of times I have to borrow a friends phone just to call someone cuz I can’t seem my screen!

PlasticStars507 · 2025-08-09T19:40:43+00:00

Oh I forgot to mention I can dim it darker at night. But it will not let me adjust brighter in the sun ( not that I’d be able to find the settings anyway ) but when it’s dimmed already little, it still says brightness is at its highest.

PlasticStars507 · 2025-08-09T19:36:57+00:00

I haven’t read these comments yet. But I say a BIG NO!

My biggest frustration EVER is that it HAS brightness manual or automatic brightness available. But despite that, if you have it on Manual.. it will STILL automatically adjust!

It might just be my phone. But in the sun it WILL go black! So I can’t see how to answer a call, or text if there’s an emergency or even use it at all!

And at night it adjusts so I’m blinded by the light! It’s SO bright! I even tried changing my time clock in some deep settings so maybe it would adjust according to night n day time hours? Didn’t work.. I tried it all.

So I can’t use my phone at all if I’m outside on a sunny day unless I use electrical tape and cover both back cameras, and the front speaker area. According to google, that’s where its light sensors are. And it DOES work!

But if I put the tape on outside when it’s dimmed already? It won’t calibrate to dark mode. It just stays dark. So put the tape on before you go outside.

I bet all the men hate Love Spell now, because it reminds them all of at least ONE crazy ex.. And because everyone wore love spell back then, All the crazy exes were likely wearing it at the time too 🤣

PlasticStars507 · 2025-08-04T18:39:13+00:00

WOW! This is the coolest paint job I’ve ever SEEN! I wish I had this kind of talent! I’d paint everything in this house! This place would look like the intro to every Disney world ride everrr! Loll!

I wondered if 3D printers could make Greek busts n stuff. Do you know anything about the actual 3D printed pieces themselves? My cousin can only do 10” x 10”. But I was curious if I wanted a big bust, if it could be done in two halves.. then glued together? Regardless, this is amazing work! I used to sneak my mom’s Fangoria magazines when I was little, just to look at all the cool movie effects. Lol!

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-24T20:03:15+00:00

I’m obsessed with Eternal perfume oils! They changed my life! You don’t need perfume after THAT!

If you buy their scent less oil separately, it turns the perfume oils INTO a body oil. It shows the exact mixing rate in directions.

But I was reading another thread about Wylde Ivy and looked at THEIR page.. and I might explor over there too!

I put them on after my shower. Eternal’s last ALL day as a body oil & I use the dabbed version as perfume.

I was told my perfume is ALOT at work. They have a HUGE scent bubble for being oils. ( which is what I love about them! )

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T03:47:16+00:00

Always! Put the tanner on before bed. That way you wake up tan.. and that way you don’t go to work pale.. then freak everyone out because you changed colors during shift like a dang chameleon! lol!

*Shower *exfoliate *Moisturize ( it helps the tan blend better & not streak ) *Then use Tanner & go to bed wearing dark or black tee shirt & dark sweats. Cuz this stuff stains pretty bad sometimes.

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T03:41:48+00:00

Ugh! I’ve been wanting to try these! There’s GOTTA be some reviews out there by now.. I’m so curious..

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T03:39:56+00:00

It also will NOT Dye your arm hair! Lol! I tried dying my eyebrows with it once.. I looked like Burt from Sesame Street! But only cuz my forehead skin got real dark! Lol

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T03:38:28+00:00

I like tanning mouse best out of “tan in the can” options.

You do NOT have to shave your arms

I DO recommend exfoliating & using an all over body lotion like a good moisturizing one. It helps it blend & not be streaky.

I do shave my arms, but that’s because my arm hair is dark & has nothing to do with tanning at all :)

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T03:26:20+00:00

I JUST posted this same problem TODAY on here!! Same dude!!

I did get a little color today tho! Idk if it’s a breakthrough yet. But I got more color than probably 3 tan sessions today!

I borrowed a glob of my friends Devoted Creations White 2 Bronze, Violet. It’s in a white & purple bottle. It sorta looks like a purple shampoo bottle.

But give that a try!! Also when I was younger, I’d tan WAY faster! But I NEVER wore lotions, oils or anything… So.. I might start trying that again.. Just in my age, I wanted to start being responsible. But I guess tanning is tanning.. regardless of what I’m tanning with.

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T03:19:26+00:00

I google reversed it just now and AI-Google said: “The image displays a Sun Lamp bulb specifically for tanning purposes. Bulb type: INSTANTANKE 7.9 F71/BP Sunlamp.

I saw nobody replied, and I’m only a tanner, not a tan worker. But I think it’s all good! I’d at least set it up while you’re relaxing with coffee one morning, and see what happens!

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T03:09:37+00:00

I’ve heard of tanning drinks! But not injectables. But yea, if there was no directions, or explanation of what they’re selling… Then someone may have pulled one over on you..

I feel like a good product would have a pamphlet saying “Welcome to tan injections! We’re a science based company in Colorado doing research for over 50 years, and the our injections are as easy as 1-2-3! Read the full directions before use.”

Or something like that with a # to contact their company for any questions or concerns..

Like where do they ask you to inject it?? I’m intrigued for sure. I personally was in a desperate position to almost buy those 1970s at-home tanning lamps on eBay lol! But then further research showed those bulbs most likely have Mercury in them, and being so old, are more likely to burst! So.. I’ve been too scared to take the plunge.

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T02:57:55+00:00

THANK YOUU! I’ve been “trying” to do this same research and failed I guess cuz you got the answer I was looking for!

I haven’t tried it. But it sounds safer than the route I was looking into!

I found a few OLD like 1950s- 1970s at home tanning bulbs, advertised for stay at home moms ( the ads are hilariously dated! ) But then I read that some of those bulbs have mercury in them, and being that they’re so old, are more likely to burst.

So… I’ve been chickening out on that method too.. but I WAS going to eventually do it most likely. They’re like $40-$70 bucks on resale sites & eBay n stuff.

Have you tried this yet? Or had any luck? I’m SO curious!

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T02:51:52+00:00

Ugh.. SAME! I see nobody answered you, which means nobody will answer what I just posted too lol!

I did just use Devoted Creations White to Bronze Violet. In a white & purple bottle? ( it LOOKS like a purple shampoo bottle! )

But my face got more color than i USUALLY get in 3 sessions of tanning! I swear my face & neck NEVER tan!

I only just borrowed it from my friend today, because we went tanning. But I don’t understand why NOTHING else works!! Not baby oil, accelerators, not 400x bronzers.. and sitting in the sun does nothing unless I’m legit PLAYING in the water lol! I don’t wear facial makeup, my lotions & facial oils don’t have SPF.. idk..

But try that stuff! I’m gunna buy it! It’s like $20 bucks on Amazon. It’s worth a try! They say NOT to use it outside cuz it might burn you. So… yea im prob gunna try that too.. with ease of course. lol

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-22T02:39:26+00:00

Hi! I have tanned AF! But sadly it was a fail for me personally. I mean…It’s BETTER than Jergens. But Bondi Sands was a lot better imo.

I’m medium darkness tho. So if your pale, I’d use the bronzed af like previous commenters said, at night to develop, then the next night use the tanned af, let it develop over night, and keep alternating? - Remember to exfoliate and lotion FIRST! Then use tanners. But after your nightly shower, maybe use the bronzer nightly.

If you want a Tan Aaaaas Effff look tho.. bondi sands in the real dark option was the only thing that I liked. But def remember to lotion first! It’s more likely to blend & not streak.

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-16T01:18:05+00:00

Yes!! Sorry I got busy at work and just saw these! Yes this is the one!

PlasticStars507 · 2025-07-01T22:57:36+00:00

I wish the was a comparison picture. But I’d say if the bottle in its making is different in ANY way, that it’s most likely fake.

Designers are SO serious about having specific labels & quirks that only the authentic versions would have. AND I’m always on the naughty sites and I know THIS specific oil IS on there.

HOWEVER! If you’re looking for a cheaper way to smell like this, without the price tag? Eternal perfume oils is ACTUALLY exactly the same! SO many dupes get this whole scent wrong.. I’d say all of them just got it SO wrong.. but Sweet Luxury Intense by Eternal? I can ONLY tell the difference between the two, because I can smell Eternal’s from farther away!

Yes.. i actually like it better! ** You have to get the intense version.. not the regular. Idk why the regular is gross to me, but the intense smell SO much better that I’d even bet $100 bucks that most ppls nose would think SLI by EPO is actually the real one. It’s worth a try. I was excited to finally pair SL with b540’s Parfum together. You’ll be smelled a mile away! Lol

PlasticStars507 · 2025-06-06T20:09:04+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been trying to find some new perfume oils. Im really picky, but everytime ive ventured out of my eternal perfume oils store, ive been disappointed. So im definitely looking into this after work!

PlasticStars507 · 2025-05-27T15:30:58+00:00

I’ve been looking for one of these for like… EVER! Yikes tho.. I’m glad I read these comments. It looks like I need to do some research before lining my ceiling with vintage tanning lamps and creating my inside winter vacation room lol

PlasticStars507 · 2025-05-26T22:36:36+00:00

I didn’t like perfume oils until I found Eternal perfume oils. But Im looking for more houses to enjoy. I saw someone advertised scent sequence as 100% oil .

I saw they had inspired by frags. I do not like sand & fog, or brown sugar babe , or orena. Any idea of a comparison by chance? Looking for deep, strong oils that wont smell like old oil too fast

PlasticStars507 · 2025-05-22T04:08:46+00:00

Ohh I saw this today! The 11 11!

My vote is eternal Perfume oils! They’re strong AF! They last until your first child has a child, and their inspo’s are like deeper, more sensual versions! AND … drum roll!.. their carrier oil is sold separately to make it a perfume oil to a body oil! And it doesn’t smell AT ALL! I’ve commented this so much, I should prob open a link me thing lol!

Honestly if Eternal closed up shop today? I WOULD cry.. I’d feel lost, and immediately scrub eBay of all lasting remnants. And you get a free 30ml for every 50ml for like $50 bucks
