It’s been a while considering that I last redeemed my optimum Points. It’s funny to think that only a couple of years ago, I got incredibly ecstatic because I’d finally hit the top tier for the first time ever. considering that then, I’ve hit that level several a lot more times. It’s that optimum app, I tell you! This points redemption event is a bit bittersweet because the optimum points program as it exists now will be gone by next February (read a lot more about it over at fivezero’s blog). I wonder if there will be another redemption event before then. I wasn’t going to take a chance though, so I depleted a lot of of my points at this event. Jeg har:
I must mention that I went to buyers drug Mart (SDM) after I’d had a couple glasses of white wine so some of my choices weren’t the most sound.
The sensible stuff:
• Shiseido WrinkleResist24 Intensive Eye Contour cream $70
• Shiseido Bio-Performance advanced incredibly Revitalizing cream $94
This was available in a set that included 3 sample items at no extra cost:
» Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate
» Bio-Performance glow Revival Serum
» utmost Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate
The gift box was so nicely done – too bad I just tore it all up instead of savouring it.
I also received a gwp containing:
» Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate
» Bio-Performance glow Revival Serum
» Benefiance WrinkleResist24 night Emulsion
» Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Retinol express Soothing Eye Mask
So I have duplicates of a few items, and I’m pleased to have the eye mask, I love that stuff!
• Smashbox 24 hour photo finish shadow primer $26
• Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm $38
The 2 Shiseido creams are my HG products that I have to have stashed away in any way times. The Smashbox primer was one that I wanted to get in the Sephora sale but they were out of stock.
The impulse stuff:
I recently learned that SDM is phasing out the GOSH line, which is a shame. I never did like their bestselling product, the velvet Touch eyeliner (it smudges on me and migrates into my eyeballs), but they had some good products like their mascaras, nail polishes, and lipsticks. I suspect that GOSH never really caught on here due to their price point – at the highest range of drugstore prices. I spied a clearance display with 50% off all of their remaining products and considering that I can’t resist deals, I picked up:
• GOSH foundation primer Anti-Wrinkle $12.50
• GOSH Xtreme Mascara $8
• GOSH Click n conceal in Light $8
• GOSH forever metallic Eye shadow Stick in 03 Light Copper $9
• GOSH Multicolour blush in 50 Pink Pie $9
I’ve worn this a couple of times now and it is a great product – long enduring and looks very natural on the skin.
Prices shown are with the discount applied. I’ve tried that mascara before and liked it enough to consider repurchasing it. The rest, who knows! and that’s the risk of getting stuff on clearance. At least these aren’t items being discontinued by the brand (usually duds) but the line is simply being phased out by SDM.
• Eye studio Sampler $42
This is exclusive to SDM and consists of 7 mascara samples and 1 eyeliner tiny (I’ve added the value of the full sized mascara for value reference):
» benefit They’re real Mascara 3g ($31 for 8.5g – $10.94 value)
» Clarins Supra Volume Mascara 8ml ($28 for 8ml – this is full size – $28 value)
» Clinique High Impact Mascara 3.5ml ($24 for 7ml – $12 value)
» Lancome Hypnose drama instant full Body Volume Mascara 6.5ml ($34.50 for 6ml – $37.38 value. This sample is larger than the full size? Hmm.)
» Smashbox full expose Mascara 9ml ($28 for 9.56ml – $26.36 value)
» Stila huge extreme Lash Mascara 6ml ($30 for 13ml – $13.84 value)
» Lancome Monsieur big volume Mascara 10ml ($31 for 10ml – $31 value – now I’m skeptical about the size of these samples – this is clearly NOT the same format as the full size tube)
» Stila stay all day liquid Eye liner 0.25ml ($29 for 0.5ml – $14.5 value)
It’s a neat concept in that you get 8 tiny sized eye products to test out first, and at the end of the trial, you take the enclosed voucher to redeem for the full sized version of the product you like best. SDM also uses perfume samplers with the same concept, which I’ve gotten before – that’s how I pertained to discover the Prada candy perfume. From this sampler, I already know at the onset that I don’t like the Clinique and Smashbox mascaras so they’re already eliminated. The greatest bang for my buck would be redeeming for the Lancome Hypnose mascara based on price point. but if all else fails, I can just redeem for the Stila liner, which I already know I like.
• Estée Lauder Pure color love Lipstick in 140 naked City $28
In the store, they were demo-ing a new toy (an app) where you can “try on” lipsticks essentially – when you stand in front of a monitor, it applies various shades of Estée Lauder lipsticks on your image. It was pretty neat, actually! Out of all the shadeJeg “prøvde”, denne skyggen var en jeg kunne se meg selv ha på meg regelmessig. Det er en naken, men med en brun tone.
SA ga meg også et utvalg av skyggen “Bar Red” som er fargen som Kendall Jenner har på seg i kampanjebildene.
Jeg fikk denne prøven. Jeg har hatt full størrelse på dette produktet, men det fungerte ikke for meg. Jeg har gitt dette videre til en venn.
Leppestiften var ikke planlagt, da jeg ikke en gang visste at den eksisterte – jeg antar at jeg hadde Estée Lauder på tankene mine med tanke på at bare tidligere den dagen Dal of Little Appell elsker og jeg gikk over på bloggen hennes, om hvordan Estée Lauder ikke gjør det Få nok kjærlighet selv om de har gode produkter.
Jeg har alle disse på optimale poeng! Totalen min gjaldt $ 344,50, og jeg klarte å innløse toppnivået to ganger som tok $ 340 av (jeg måtte betale skatten). Det var en belønning på dette arrangementet, så jeg fikk totalt $ 80 -verdi av optimale poeng tilbake … Jeg håper jeg får en ny sjanse til å innløse før februar. Har du innløst de optimale poengene dine i det siste for noe morsomt? Hvilke anke lojalitetsprogrammer har du der du bor?
