Well what do you know? It's another Target item: The Paddington Coat in "Sun Yellow" by Merona, $34.99. I swear they are not paying me (in fact they won't even advertise on this blog... haha).
By this image alone, you might be asking if I am f*cking kidding you. But I'm not. I tried it on in a local store (yellow is sold out online, and the other colors look wrong) and it is FAR more flattering and much more vivid than the image lets on.

It's lined with a cute cotton floral print that gives it more of an Anthropologie feel, and the front is adorned with shiny metal toggles. Details like this, paired with a great cut, make this number look much more expensive than it is. Go try one on.

You can spend a million on expensive makeup, but without the right brushes you're still going to look a mess. After years of using cheap drugstore brushes that constantly shed bristles all over my face, I started to consider dropping the big bucks on some prestige brand brushes. Then I came across this set by EcoTools ($10.99 at Target) and have since been deterred. The quality and texture of the brushes are really (I hate to use this word, but it's the only one suitable) luxurious, and gave a much softer application visually. No more streaky blush or blotchy bronzer for me!

PS - If you do go drugstore for brushes, the concealer and shadow brushes by Essence of Beauty are also good - just steer clear of their black-bristle brushes.
