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.

Harajuku Lovers Fragrance

My last purchase of the year was the fragrance Harajuku Lovers G by Gwen Stefani. It was on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart for $17.99 (regular price $29) for the 10ml bottle. I am not a fan of Gwen Stefani, but I loved the tropical smell. I do not purchase any products endorsed or “created” by celebrities. I have been using the same perfume for many years. It is Eau des Vanilliers by L’Occitane, but it has been discontinued. I have one bottle left and it has to last for a very long time. I have not been able to find anything that I like as much.
