  • Sephora has a boatload of products. $60 isn’t unheard of for some things like skincare, but a $60 highlighter is likely to be a luxury brand like Dior, Westman Atelier, Guerlain, or Prada. And the difference between those and less expensive highlighters is that you’re paying for the brand name. For $30-40 you can get a mid-tier highlighter like Nars, ABH, or Rare Beauty that will still be beautiful and probably has more product per dollar than the luxury brand does.

    For example: the ABH Glow Seeker highlighter is $40 for 11 grams which equals $3.64 per gram

    And the Dior Forever Glow highlighter is $60 for 6 grams which equals $10 per gram

    People can spend their money how they want but personally I’d never pay $60 for a highlighter.













  • You’re the nurse who couldn’t deal with extroverted coworkers and had to leave your job, right?

    Respectfully, you should learn from that experience that your hardline introversion doesn’t serve you well in the workplace. Any manager will be more interested in preserving team dynamics than coddling a brittle individual. I don’t mean to be harsh but you need to learn a little flexibility or you’re going to run into the same problems again and again. You picked a people-facing career and chances are high that most of your colleagues will be on the extroverted side.

    It’s fine to be introverted but you need to communicate your needs in a way that doesn’t alienate or offend your colleagues. It sounds like you want them to meet you where you are, rather than compromising somewhere in the middle. It won’t kill you to make a couple minutes of small talk, followed by a polite excuse as you remove yourself to be alone. You can even say something direct, like “I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m not huge on chitchat, and I have some studying I need to catch up on.” People prefer honesty to just being iced out.

    You can’t expect them to respect your feelings and preferences if you’re not willing to do the same for theirs.
