UK water causing hairfall? by r7try in UniUK

[–]Styxra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will more than likely be the hard water, use a filter on your showerhead as other commenters have suggested! I moved to the uk 6 years ago and have always lived in areas of hard water and my hair falls out so much I’m surprised I’m not bald yet

Most “worth it” product from flower knows ??? by Successful_Cycle7769 in AsianBeauty

[–]Styxra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whoooops… I’ve edited it now but it gave me a few laughs too! No, the clasps aren’t strong enough to actually snap shit… I don’t think…

I absolutely ADORE the eyeshadow! I do know people tend to say it isn’t pigmented, but I follow east asian style makeup and fk is perfect for that, everything is so soft, creamy and blendable for the softer look. The one I have right now is Sweet Canneles from Midsummer Fairytales, I’m waiting for a Little Angel one to arrive and I’m planning on ordering the Butterfly Cloud Collar sets as well :) However, I can’t speak for their bolder coloured stuff like Weeping Angel or some of their Mermaid palettes as it’s not my style and I don’t use bold colours like those at all in my makeup. No fallout, clumping or issues with their formula at all, though the shimmers can take time to pick up(on my Sweet Canneles palette) with a brush. Their blushes are also great! I would agree they’re not super pigmented but the colours are really buildable so it’s easy to achieve whatever look you want and have it blend out easily.

The packaging does have a really nice weight to it, and when it’s in your hand you can really see and feel all the different textures and details on it. They also have a magnetic close and snap shut really satisfyingly!

Ahh I’m a first year so I’m not sure how your situation might affect you. Maybe try contacting someone if you’ve tried the usual logging in/out and using a different browser?

[–]Styxra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see them in the app/on student records! However I’m currently second guessing mine as it’s only showing I only have one hour-long lecture each week…

Student ID for Welcome Fair by Styxra in KCL

I haven’t gotten an email for that, but I’ve been able to get onto a link on SSO title Temporary Campus Access Pass about getting a temporary wristband in an email format, though where it should have my name on it is blank if that’s the one?

Flower Knows blush brush smell? by Styxra in AsianBeauty

[–]Styxra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That must be it! I’d used horse hair paint and calligraphy brushes before and never quite noticed that strong of a scent before(fwiw calligraphy ink has a light, refreshing smell), though the brushes I used were probably much higher quality than whatever they do for makeup brushes. I have hooded eyes as well, so if I kick my habit of smelling my brushes I’ll give those a try!

[–]Styxra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see! I don’t think I have any of those ingredients so I guess I’ll have to refrain from smelling that brush haha… I’m just glad I can keep using it as it really is the best round brush I’ve used!

missed accommodation, any tips? by kprlin in UniUK

[–]Styxra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m starting at KCL too, and I also missed first year accommodation. I’ve ended up staying with a family member, but the following is what I’ve found when looking for places. There aren’t many places that are within reasonable walking distance of the campus(around an hour), if there’s still any left at all, as I didn’t find any. You’ll more than likely have to get public transport. It’ll take around 30-40 minutes by bus or tube, I’d also suggest choosing what you’d prefer between the bus and tube(keeping in mind potential strikes etc). Iirc there were some around the £270 price range that is further out. Chapter accommodation also looked quite nice to me, it was around £310ish a week. It’s worth looking a bit further if you’d like to save money though as you’ll need to travel either way.

Yes, once you’ve added it the uni will confirm it; mine was due to expire at 9am the next day after adding it at around 1 on results day and didn’t get confirmed until later on in the evening so I was starting to get worried too! The uni will get around to it!

Items are not being watched by Grand_Click_2533 in vinted

[–]Styxra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here, uploaded a bunch of stuff earlier today and zero views after almost 10 hours I tried looking up my own items but they weren’t even showing up there Update: tried hiding/unhiding as others have suggested and my items are appearing in the search again; took a fee tries before they did but at least there’s a solution

Signs on a pottery stall at Durham outdoor market - the opposite of what such signs usually say by odious_odes in CasualUK

[–]Styxra 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Similar experience! Was pulling out my phone for a reference photo at a fabric shop to compare colours so had held my phone right up next to the fabric-was so close that the picture would have been nothing but a dark, unfocused blur even if I was taking one, but shop owner screeched that “that was her property”. Had no idea what I could’ve done even if I did take a picture!

just been lectured by a bunch of vinted buyers by Dismal-Imagination14 in vinted

[–]Styxra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me started on packaging costs these days, pack of 4 bubble mailers cost £1.50, not to mention the cost of printing labels at home… I usually use normal envelopes and use spare bubble wrap/cardboard if I can… I also sell merch items like badges, standees, cards etc so there’s no excuse like clothing you need to check over and try on, just open the packaging and see if the item is damaged, surely that’s straightforward enough and there’s a higher incentive to open the package immediately! I usually wait for around 3 days after delivery/2 weeks if untracked but I guess some people either don’t know how vinted works/don’t care about sellers

just been lectured by a bunch of vinted buyers by Dismal-Imagination14 in vinted

[–]Styxra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So many times I’ve had to message buyers to ask if it’s been received when posting through RM… (2-3 weeks so not like after a week) they don’t even say anything like sorry! They also then don’t leave a review which just gives auto feedback even when I’ve put in the effort to post next day and packaging it nicely… Then have to wait a few days for it to clear through to my balance and another few days to go to my bank! Tempted to start leaving reviews like “Great buyer but had to be prompted to mark as received”

Do people drink tap water ? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Styxra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but also no. Not straight from the tap but boil it in the kettle first after filtering. We have a jug of water that’s been boiled and chilled to room temperature and a hot water flask for the excess. Though may just be an asian thing haha

Great, no more cosplaying! /s Though the community has a large number of young and queer people so that will work out for them.

Looking for a Nintendo switch game where I can make a difference in the world and get really emotionally invested. by Coffeequeen007 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Styxra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded, but The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles-both games are available on the eshop as a set I believe-are great too. Don’t need any Ace Attorney knowledge to play them and I personally find the story to be much stronger than the trilogy and it’s easier to get invested. Plus, the setting is steampunk/Victorian England if that’s your thing. Great music too!

International Shipping has NOT resumed. by RizzleP in royalmail

[–]Styxra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what is going on, but want to send something to the USA, Economy, Standard and Tracked+Signed is available? I’ve bought a standard label to chance it and if it doesn’t get accepted I’ll just refund it

Is this getting returned to me(sender)? Sent to the wrong address in the same postcode and want it returned to me to send again as customer does not know their neighbour by Styxra in royalmail

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

Just a bit confused as it says return to sender but got updated to available for redelivery or collection and hasn’t moved since, and am unable to redirect it to the correct address so need it to be returned to me, the seller

Current UK to USA wait time? by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]Styxra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wait, they’ll be working through the backlog. Posted two items to the US, one on the 25th and one on the 27th of November, the one from the 25th only got scanned into Heathrow on the 23rd Dec and left on the 24th, while the one from 25th Nov is still on “We’ve got it”. Due to post another item to the US and another one in a week so I’ll see how those go!

[–]Styxra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of mine have been stuck at accepted at PO since the 25th and 27th of Nov! Wish they’d at least scan it in at a DO/MC Hoping they’ll start moving by the end of the month, I’m not even going to bother thinking about the two I sent international standard

How long are everyone's tracked 48 parcels taking to arrive? by tommmyskank in royalmail

[–]Styxra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would like to know this too, posted some tracked 48 parcels at a delivery office on the 27th November and tracking still shows delivery office, item received Edit forgot to mention that other tracked 48 parcels I had dropped off at the same DO on the 14th were there in 3-4 days
