I have too many sweaters (plus free shipping on all orders from Target)

Disclosure: Affiliate links.
This is pretty cool: apparently Target will have free shipping and free returns on all orders from now until January 1 (info here). So I want to take this opportunity to quickly recommend these Mossimo sweaters that are $18. I am have been a fan of the J. Crew Tippi sweaters and their cheaper counterparts at J. Crew Factory (which I can't find at the moment) for a while. I have a bunch of them in various colors. I've noticed, though, that the ones I've bought recently have developed holes in less than a year, which is really frustrating for something that is $80 at regular price (though I've got mine on sale). I take pretty good care of my sweaters. They are also pretty thin and sheer, and so I have layer something under them.


This Mossimo sweater (above) is a decent, inexpensive alternative. It's the kind of sweater that looks perfect with jeans, a long, gold necklace with a pendant, and Oxfords. That's basically my lazy uniform lately. I've had sweaters made out of this nylon/rayon/modal blend before, and they will pill a bit, especially under the arms, but then so does wool. And they are really, wonderfully soft and comfortable. They look great, and you don't have to wear a cami under them like the J. Crew sweaters. I also have the Mossimo crewneck, which I like just as much. Anyway, this is my best fall clothing find of the season so far, and it's a good price, so I thought I'd pass it along. I will probably pick up a couple more in colors that they don't have at my local store, since they are offering free shipping. Anything else you think is particular worth buying from Target's website rather than in the store?

(Also, does anyone else remember Mossimo from the 90s when it was all those stupid t-shirts with smartass slogans and cartoons on them? They were the slightly less macho version of No Fear shirts.)

July Target Beauty Box available now ($7)

Disclosure: Affiliate links.
There are two options this month,  with 7 items in each one:"Fresh & Fabulous" and "Simply Radiant." Are you going to pick one up this time around? I think if they were $5 I might grab one, but $7 seems a little high for what is included. You do get a full-size NYX lipstick in the first box and a full size Wet N Wild mascara in the second. You can see all the contents of both boxes here as well.

Target June Beauty Boxes still available

Disclosure: Affiliate links.
Since these came out yesterday, and they usually sell out really fast, I hadn't bothered to check if they were still available today (until now). Surprisingly, they are. There's a women's box for $10 (11 products, so certainly a better value than a typical Ipsy or Birchbox) and a men's box for $5 (which also contains 11 products, so are the ladies getting screwed, as usual?). Shipping is free. I don't know if this one is speaking to me. I usually only get them if there are things that I already wanted to try. What do you think?

I need to take some photos before I can post something more substantial, like a review. But it's going to be a million degrees out all week, and my air conditioner isn't running, so unless I want to take sweaty swatch photos . . . I don't know when that's going to happen.

New Target Beauty Boxes $7 each

Disclosure: Affiliate links.
The Target Beauty Boxes are back. There are two options: Refresh and Renewal. Both are $7 (for a supposed $30 value) with free shipping. They are pretty heavy on the hair and skin care this time, with very little makeup, so I think I'll pass. How about you?

(SOLD OUT) Target women's beauty box $10 for 10 mostly full-size items

Disclosure: Affiliate links.
The box includes Cover Girl lipstick, Maybelline mascara, Hair Food dry shampoo, etc. $50 value. Free shipping and you can use code SHINE for an extra 10% off beauty items, including this box.

There's also a men's box for $5 that contains $15 worth of products.

Are you going to get this one? I think I'm going to skip it, because there's no single thing that I really want, though the value is good.

20% off + free shipping from Target

Disclosure: Affiliate links.
(H/T Nouveau Cheap for this one!) Use code ESSENTIALS. Deal works on "select" beauty, health, household, and pet stuff (worked on everything I looked at). Ever notice that some things are really cheap on the Target site but more expensive in the actual store? And you only find that out after you wasted gas going all the way to the store? And if you'd just paid for shipping you'd have spent the same amount of money and you could have used Ebates too (info here)? Yes, that exact thing happened to me this week and I was pissed. Anyway, this is a way around that (today only).

All L'Oreal Target Beauty Box $5 + free shipping

Disclosure: Affiliate links.
This box doesn't look the most exciting to me (mini hairspray, mascara, shampoo and skincare packets), but if there's more than one thing in it that you want to try, it might be worth it for $5. The value is $16, apparently. Anyone planning to get this one?

Target beauty box: 5 products for $5 + free shipping

Disclosure: This post does not contain affiliate links.
Target has had free beauty bags in the past. This time it's $5. But you get 5 things: 3 (biggish) samples and 2 full size products. You can see them all here. The L'Oreal butterfly mascara alone normally costs about $8, I think, so if you'd been thinking about buying it, this might be the way to go. I can always use more mascara, and I want to try out the Herbal Essences dry shampoo, so I'm in.

Sweet plus-size striped ponte blazer on sale for $20 + free shipping today only.

Disclosure: This post contains an affiliate link.
From Target. 10 hours left and counting for this price. Also comes in grey and navy. I have been eyeing similar ones from J. Crew and Banana Republic for a few months now. No reviews, yet, unfortunately, but I have a different ponte blazer from target that I love. Stretchy! Anyone going to pounce on this?

Cute, supportive swimsuit $30 + free shipping from Target today only (April 19)

Disclosure: This post contains an affiliate link.
This is a good one, right? I mean, it has underwire, it doesn't have halter straps (which I fucking HATE), it has a "built in slimming layer" (so not too flimsy), and the reviews give it 4.5/5 stars. Also, grey is my favorite color, like Mr. Jones (anyone else old enough to get that? No? Sigh.).

The Budget Babe finds some great new clothes at Target

These are good! I find with Target clothes, you really have to try them on, because they're not very consistent, even within the same brand, size, and even style. But it can be worth it.

Cheap and flattering stretchy blazer

First of all, everything should be stretchy. It doesn't have to look stretchy, but if it can be stretchy, why not?


Second . . .
