Optimum points Redemption Haul once again

April 9, 2022 msdti 0 Comment

It’s been a while since I last redeemed my optimal Points. It’s funny to believe that only a couple of years ago, I got super excited since I’d lastly hit the top tier for the very first time ever. since then, I’ve hit that level a number of more times. It’s that optimal app, I tell you! This points redemption event is a bit bittersweet since the optimal points program as it exists now will be gone by next February (read more about it over at fivezero’s blog). I question if there will be one more redemption event before then. I wasn’t going to take a possibility though, so I depleted most of my points at this event. Jeg har:

I should mention that I went to shoppers medication Mart (SDM) after I’d had a couple glasses of wine so a few of my options weren’t the most sound.

The practical stuff:
• Shiseido WrinkleResist24 Intensive Eye Contour cream $70

• Shiseido Bio-Performance advanced super Revitalizing cream $94

This was offered in a set that included 3 sample products at no additional cost:
» Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate
» Bio-Performance glow Revival Serum
» ultimate Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate

The gift box was so well done – as well poor I just tore everything up instead of savouring it.
I likewise got a gwp containing:

» Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate
» Bio-Performance glow Revival Serum
» Benefiance WrinkleResist24 night Emulsion
» Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Retinol reveal Soothing Eye Mask
So I have duplicates of a few items, as well as I’m delighted to have the eye mask, I like that stuff!

• Smashbox 24 hour picture surface 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 at all times. The Smashbox primer was one that I wished to buy in the Sephora sale however they were out of stock.

The impulse stuff:
I just recently discovered 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 as well as migrates into my eyeballs), however they had some great products like their mascaras, nail polishes, as well as lipsticks. I suspect that GOSH never truly caught on right here because of their cost point – at the greatest range of drugstore prices. I spied a clearance screen with 50% off all of their staying products as well as since I can’t withstand deals, I chosen up:

• GOSH foundation primer Anti-Wrinkle $12.50
• GOSH Xtreme Mascara $8
• GOSH Click n conceal in Light $8
• GOSH permanently metallic Eye shadow Stick in 03 Light Copper $9

• GOSH Multicolour blush in 50 Pink Pie $9

I’ve used this a couple of times now as well as it is a fantastic product – long lasting as well as looks extremely natural on the skin.
Prices shown are with the discount rate applied. I’ve tried that mascara before as well as liked it sufficient to think about repurchasing it. The rest, who knows! as well as that’s the danger of getting stuff on clearance. At least these aren’t products being discontinued by the brand (usually duds) however the line is just being phased out by SDM.

• Eye studio Sampler $42

This is special to SDM as well as contains 7 mascara samples as well as 1 eyeliner mini (I’ve added the value of the full sized mascara for value reference):
» benefit They’re genuine 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 immediate full Body Volume Mascara 6.5ml ($34.50 for 6ml – $37.38 value. This sample is larger than the full size? Hmm.)
» Smashbox full subject Mascara 9ml ($28 for 9.56ml – $26.36 value)
» Stila big extreme Lash Mascara 6ml ($30 for 13ml – $13.84 value)
» Lancome Monsieur huge volume Mascara 10ml ($31 for 10ml – $31 value – now I’m skeptical about the size of these samples – this is clearly NOT the exact same style as the full size tube)
» Stila stay all the time liquid Eye liner 0.25ml ($29 for 0.5ml – $14.5 value)

It’s a neat idea in that you get 8 mini sized eye products to test out first, as well as at the end of the trial, you take the enclosed coupon to redeem for the full sized version of the product you like best. SDM likewise offers perfume samplers with the exact same concept, which I’ve bought before – that’s exactly how I came to find the Prada candy perfume. From this sampler, I already understand at the onset that I don’t like the Clinique as well as Smashbox mascaras so they’re already eliminated. The biggest bang for my buck would be redeeming for the Lancome Hypnose mascara based on cost point. however if all else fails, I can just redeem for the Stila liner, which I already understand I like.

• Estée Lauder Pure color like Lipstick in 140 naked City $28

In the store, they were demo-ing a new toy (an app) where you can “try on” lipsticks virtually – whenOptimum points Redemption Haul once again (###) It’s been a while since I last redeemed my optimal Points.
