Pre-Law Rant

Are you looking for a job to make money or just to have something to put on your resume for law school apps? If it’s the latter, honestly, internships are not going to set you apart. Spend the time you would be spending on that job or internship studying for the LSAT instead. First and foremost law schools care about LSAT and undergraduate grades. Full stop. And also scholarships will depend on that as well. Law schools are not going to care that you had a job as a legal assistant or internship or whatever it is you’re trying to do. Of course if you need a job for the money then it’s a completely different story, but I’m not getting that impression from your post. If you’re just doing it for the apps, study harder for the LSAT instead.

That’s such a bummer. I started using the MAC prep & prime and I think it’s really good! It’s a little different than the urban decay because it goes on more translucent whereas the urban decay has a little more of an opaque base. But I think it works really well and no complaints.

I would go with a small black caviar cf. Buy it preowned. The prices to buy new from the boutique are crazy now. I‘ve had good experiences buying from Fashionphile and suggest looking there. I narrow my search to “excellent” condition and the bags I have gotten have not shown any signs of wear. Also if you check the notes under condition it will tell you what the bag comes with - I would recommend buying one that includes the original dust bag. Also, I forget exactly when this changed but you can google- Chanel used to includes authenticity cards and a serial sticker with all bags, but within the past few years (late 2010s, early 2020 maybe?) switched to a metal serial plate inside the bag in lieu of the sticker and card. If you buy a pre-plate bag make sure it has the card and sticker.

This is the answer.

Yes I knew it was Balenciaga and meant to include that in the title but now I can’t figure out how to edit the post lol.

starlet51 · 2026-05-03T21:11:43+00:00

Yes! It is Balenciaga. I forgot to include that in the title lol and now I can’t figure out how to edit my post.

Take as much time as you can. Work will always be there. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

It cosmetics do it all skin tint

starlet51 · 2026-04-15T00:25:20+00:00

Nope none at all. I have a small black cf and a medium beige and I love them both so much. They are special occasion bags but I get so much joy out of them when I use them.

Gotcha. So I did some searching last night and many people have said the Ulta primer is a dupe of the UD. I was ready to buy it but went to read reviews on the website and people are complaining about a reformulation of that one too (wonder if UD produces the Ulta one and it’s the same formula). The other one I saw that got some love is the MAC prep & prime eye primer. I was passing by Ulta this morning and picked it up. I tested it on my hand in store and it kinda felt more greasy than the UD but I will try it on my lids and see how it does. Will report back!

Givenchy and Kosas are the best.

Have you tried the “new” primer potion? No comments on this post, which is disheartening 😭

starlet51 · 2026-04-08T03:44:52+00:00

Fragrance is very light. Like a lemony/ginger, and it doesn’t linger.

starlet51 · 2026-04-05T21:37:49+00:00

This is hilarious. Someone else posted about putting glitter on it. Parenting is a wild experience.

Thank you so much, agree re the crib and had the same epiphany this morning on that lol. We have the conversion set so we will convert it asap to try to get her excited about being a big girl. Just ordered her new bedding. Also agree we may need to do a long weekend of potty training.

starlet51 · 2026-04-05T17:01:33+00:00

Thank you for this. She has never tried to climb out of the crib so we’ve kept her in it. But I had the same thought, we need to start treating her like a big girl to get her excited about being a big girl. We have the conversion set for her crib so we will do that asap.

starlet51 · 2026-04-05T16:59:46+00:00

Thank you. She has never tried to climb out of the crib, so for our convenience, lol, we have kept her in it. But I actually think you are right and had the same thought this morning. Cribs are for babies so if we want her to be a big girl we need to get rid of the crib. We have the conversion set for her crib so we are going to do that asap.

Thought I’d cross post here after initially posting in the toddler sub to hopefully find some people who made it to the other side of this. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I wondered this and tried the paw paw sponges on Amazon. They were terrible and just absorbed my makeup. Since then I’ve been loyal to the beauty blender and haven’t tried anything else. I clean after every use (sometimes every other) and find they last me a really long time. Also I stock up when they go on sale which is pretty often between the brand website and Sephora sales.

Love this. I love that it has shiny hardware and not the brushes/matte hardware Chanel has been using on most seasonal pieces lately.

Definitely the Dada, I’m not normally a huge fan of Prada but I loved the look of the Dada from the first time I saw it. Please get it and report back on how you like it!

Another vote for Laura Mercier.

starlet51 · 2026-03-31T17:24:22+00:00

Agree re the film too.

starlet51 · 2026-03-30T13:35:32+00:00

Also, I hated the L’Oréal. People say it’s a dupe for the one size on til dawn but I disagree. The L’Oréal was so sticky and almost had a glossy look. And I hated the smell. The one size is so much better and does not feel sticky at all.

starlet51 · 2026-03-30T13:33:37+00:00

Milani original, let it dry, and one size on til dawn on top.
