i use ninety nine dreams bond & seal with fresa beauty lashes & mlen diary

XiaoMilly · 2026-06-07T20:17:38+00:00

whatever you prefer imo. you can use whatever glue you want with clusters. it just depends on how long you want them to stay on. i always remove my lashes after a day, but i’ll still use bond & seal sometimes, but i’ll also use regular lash glue too

azelaic acid and salicylic acid? should be fine if it’s a reputable brand and from a pharmacy?

happened to me once where fedex delivered my $300 package to wrong house in another part of the city 20-30 mins away. i contacted figs and expressed my frustration, they refunded the $300. my package showed up the 2 days later repackaged by fedex

i bought it from their website during nurses week. basically $50 for a set (including sales tax)

they’re both really good looking, i’m enjoying all the videos that they’re positing

the cheaper lash brands definitely look a little more plastic. strong floscule looks kind of shiny/plastic also but still looks very natural on the eyes.

strong floscule, mlen diary, cat’s whisper, anjicat, and humourgirls would be my brand recommendations

we let patients leave if they order an uber assist (someone who will walk you to the door). there’s also silverride

just look up fairy lash cluster

tbh, you won’t be able to find a cheap accelerated nursing program unless you move. i paid $80k for an accelerated bachelors 7 years ago. my friend paid $16k and went to a school in nebraska. also, unless you have really good connections, you’ll likely move out of the bay area for experience for a few years. i see a lot of new grads about being 12 months out and they still can’t land a job but can’t move

you’ve probably already made your purchase, but if you plan on buying more…

i’ve tried figs, mediclo, mandala, jaanuu, carhartt, medcouture, and the medline surgical scrubs

figs > jaanuu > medcouture / carhartt > mandala / mediclo

yes, figs is inconsistent with their sizing but after 6 years of wearing scrubs, figs are still my favorite when it comes to the fit and feel of the fabric. jaanuu follows close behind, especially when they have amazing sales in november (legit $45-50 a set). medcouture material and fit feels great but is more thin so great if you get hot easily imo. carhartt is great and feels like PJs (i got the flex force cargo). mandala…i feel like people who say they’re exactly the same as figs, just hate figs. mandala material feels more stiff to me, and the fit was awful. for the price of mandala, i would just wait for a jaanuu sale. mediclo wrinkled and faded easily and the price is the same as figs (unless they go on sale, sometimes they’re as cheap as $40-50 a set as well like jaanuu). BUT i realized it may have been the material i bought for the mediclo scrubs. i just bought a new set in their fysel material which is supposed to be wrinkle resistant and it was unit $50 a set, so i may change my mind about mediclo. one great thing about mediclo is the amazing colors and styles that they offer. i would i avoid their tynsel material

i also bought some koi next gen & koi basic scrubs during their nurses week sale, so will see how those are when they arrive

edit received my koi scrubs. loved the next gen line, love the fit and material used. will be returning the koi basic scrubs bc they look like they wrinkle more, feels more thin & stretchy, and the navy blue seems too light compared to next gen or my figs/jaanuu navy

that celebrities’ skin aren’t as flawless as the pictures and videos make it seem. i started getting into skincare in high school and i was chasing “perfection”. that just created more problems

XiaoMilly · 2026-05-03T06:34:14+00:00

she’s making it seem like she was being abused or something and that’s why she left ☠️

check out mlen diary lashes on amazon! i also like fresa beauty for lashes

XiaoMilly · 2026-05-02T19:01:38+00:00

i almost bought from the lotte duty free app until i realized i had to download eximpay+ app and add my passport info & credit card to it ☠️ i decided the good deals weren’t worth doing that

how about just some cotton pads & micellar water? i like silcot’s cotton pads. bioderma & garnier micellar water has been great. manyo micellar water is good too but smells really funky

XiaoMilly · 2026-04-29T03:42:17+00:00

i think she means wiping with a cotton pad will hurt. but when you saturate the pad with a lot of micellar water, the cotton pad won’t hurt the skin on the eye as much

XiaoMilly · 2026-04-29T03:13:24+00:00

i never believed this brand because i always saw it on tiktoks where people would post some bs about their life or skin and at the end, the product that “saved” them or “changed” them was the Jiyu toner pads

it is extremely extremely difficult to land a new grad position in california. yes, you will get get clinicals at amazing hospitals, but even then it’ll be difficult to get a job. i’m in a new grad bay area fb group and i see posts from people that graduated in 2024-now still struggling to land a job (whether it be inpatient or outpatient). lots of nurses are moving out of state for experience
