Journey To Shoppers Drug Mart

I went for a walk today to the Shoppers Drug Mart near my workplace. They have a promotion this week where you receive 15,000 Shoppers Optimum Points when you spend $75 or more on cosmetics. That is a $25 reward. 

I couldn’t think of anything that I needed. This location has a beauty boutique that carries brands such as Dior, Smashbox, Benefit, Lancome, Clinique and L’Occitane. For months I have wanted to buy the Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream from L’Occitane, but it was never in stock. I don’t know how I got through the winter without it. I could have gone to the L’Occitane store, but I wanted to earn Optimum Points.

I looked around the store and I saw the Suede bags. I have been building up my points for a while to use towards a large purchase. What better idea than to buy a bag with my points. I got the idea when I read the post by Fabulously “Broke”… In the City about Suede bags at Shoppers Drug Mart. I had seen the bags for maybe a year or two, but I had never purchased one. They are also available at Winners.

Currently I have 57,500 points. The next point level is 75,000.

Looking For A Facial Cleanser

Lately, I have not been happy with my facial cleanser. I follow a three step regimen twice a day – cleanser, toner and moisturizer from H2O+. I was using H2O+ Face Oasis Cleansing Water, but I switched last month to H2O+ Sea Results Sea Mineral Cleanser.

When I look in the mirror I am not happy with the results. I think I have large pores. However, when I go to cosmetics counters the sales people always tell me how great my skin is or that it is glowing. I think they are lying. It could all be in my head. In the winter the weather will have an affect on your skin. I have not complaints with the moisturizer. It is a hydrating gel that does not make me breakout.

I have tried many products in the past from Kiehl’s, Aveda, Neutrogena, Clinique, Biotherm…the list can go on.
