This Not That: Aritzia Effortless Pant (Crepette)
Shop the post here. Being forced back into the office (boo) has meant unfortunately having to invest in a whole new work wardrobe. But because I do not go in every day AND my commute already costs me more than I want to be spending, I refuse to drop a fortune on office pants I only wear a few times a week. That is where these come in. Aritzia Effortless Pants in Crepette have been THE tailored trouser everyone talks about for years — that lightweight, wrinkle-resistant Japane


This Not That: RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner
Shop the post here. I was introduced to this product by @beautyxbeaker, who I trust so much with their recommendations. And here is why this one matters to me personally — I have had terrible reactions to most prostaglandin-based lash serums and even the ones branded as "sensitive" like the Grand Lash sensitive I just tried still irritate me. So I have basically written off the entire category until this one. Enter The Educated Mess Grow A Pair Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum. To


This Not That: L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
Shop the post here. L'Occitane who? This $5 drugstore find has real shea butter, the same rich-but-fast-absorbing butter cream texture, and your hands literally cannot tell the difference once it sinks in. eos Shea Better Hand Cream has been quietly sitting on shelves while people spend $29 for the exact same size of the OG — and we need to talk about it. The texture? Identical energy. Both are that rich, indulgent butter cream that melts into your skin without leaving a grea


This Not That: Noyz Only Human
Shop the post here. When I shared that Noyz Only Human was my favorite fragrance, a lot of you said it was a little out of budget — so I went hunting for a dupe for you. Only Human has been my number one for a while now. It is one of those scents that genuinely turns heads — people constantly ask what I am wearing, and there is just something about it that smells expensive, warm, and intimate without being too much. It is the kind of fragrance that becomes part of your signat


This Not That: Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette
Shop the post here. I have had my Urban Decay Naked 3 palette for longer than I want to admit. I am talking close to ten years at this point, which is wild for an eyeshadow palette, but it has been a staple in my makeup bag forever. Those rose-toned neutrals are universally flattering, blend like a dream, and give you that pretty, soft, pinky-mauve eye look that works on basically everyone. But honestly, if I had not bought it ten years ago, I am not sure I would buy it now.


This Not That: Tatcha The Serum Stick
Shop the post here. I have loved the Tatcha Serum Stick for years and it is honestly one of those products I never shut up about because it just works. I would swipe it on dry patches, around my eyes, anywhere my makeup was starting to look tired, or whenever my skin needed a little extra moisture and smoothness. The best part is that it lasts forever, which almost made the $49 price tag easier to justify because you use so little each time. But after years of dragging out th
