Which shoppers were you at if you don't mind me asking?<br /><br />I have the Optimum Mastercard, so for every purchase with it - anywhere, for anything, it gives me Optimum points! I was really apprehensive at first because I tend to not trust any of those people who stand around and try to sell you stuff. But my mom told me to get it when the lady at Shoppers kept following us and was trying to talk us into it. But after a couple months or a year, I was really impressed at how many points I've accumulated because I rarely even went to Shoppers. I think I got it 2 years ago and I have a bunch of points and haven't used it yet. I totally recommend it!Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174933299052915561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946185079878086215.post-71839093803031722092012-05-16T00:25:37.372-04:002012-05-16T00:25:37.372-04:00Oh good, I'm not the only one that despises Es...Oh good, I'm not the only one that despises Essie's nail polish brushes!

I have never even redeemed any, because I don't shop during their optimum point sales. I will start doing this because you're right, I have to spend an entire hundy at Sephora just to get one free sample which seems kind of pitiful if I could get in store credit toward anything I pleased from Shoppers. <br /><br />I don't know how they decide how many samples to give, the sales lady was just very kind and talkative and was like "would you like some samples" and of course I said YES! and she opened this cupboard that had a bunch of bins with different stuff in them!

I haven't bought anything in a while as I am trying to finish what I already have! <br /><br />Do you know if there is a certain amount you have to spend at Shoppers before they can give you samples? What if you use Optimum points? I'm too shy to ask and would love to know for the next time I splurge - which will probably when I find a job! Lol. <br /><br />I think it's worth shopping at Shoppers more than Sephora, their rewards program is much better! Points from anything can be spent on full size cosmetics, while at Sephora, you have to spend $100 to get a "deluxe sample"! But I do like the idea of the value packs at Sephora.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174933299052915561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946185079878086215.post-42995649518148341062012-05-15T15:44:16.217-04:002012-05-15T15:44:16.217-04:00I have that Essie too and I wasn't a fan of th...I have that Essie too and I wasn't a fan of the formula, but I love the color!
