Shopper`s Drug Mart, like many companies has a loyalty points program
where you get points through in-store purchases on pretty much anything
in the store, including prescription drugs. They have even come out with
a rewards points bank account with the Royal Bank of Canada. So of
course, I had to get that since this is pretty much my favourite local
store!
On
one of my recent trips to Shoppers, I discovered they had a Spend Your
Points bonus event going on. Normally, I could spend 22,000 points and
receive $30 free, BUT last time, they were offering a $20 bonus! So I
used my points to pick up some cream blushes for a beauty swap I am
working on with a friend in the US, and picked up 2 bottles of CoverFX
brush cleaner (which I love because it has Tea Tree Oil in it, rather
than alcohol as a sterilizer, which helps keep your brushes nice and
healthy). I also grabbed some more disposable eye shadow applicators for
my Mary Kay kit, and THEN I saw the Travalo.
The
Travalo is a mini perfume atomizer. You simply take the spray top off
your perfume and stick this little guy on top and pump perfume into it
until it`s full. It`s purse sized, and airline friendly. This is awesome
because now I can take my favourite perfume - Viva La Juicy - anywhere I
go and don`t have to risk breaking the gorgeous bottle. It is also much
lighter than the bottle, so I`m not carrying a loaded weapon in purse
form! (Ok maybe I am with everything ELSE that`s in there, but you know
what I mean!)
They also come in a huge selection of colours and prints, so there is
pretty much something for everyone - including men! I`m actually
thinking of getting one of these for my husband as a stocking stuffer
because often when we travel for a weekend, we like to pack light, and
his full-sized bottles of Polo are certainly not light. Not to mention,
we live in the mountains, so traveling up and down the different
altitudes messes with the bottle pressure and leaks perfume/cologne into
our bags.
If I remember correctly, one of these will run you around $10 or $12, but
for the convenience of being able to use your perfume on the go, and
saving yourself from potentially breaking a MUCH more expensive bottle, I
think this is an excellent investment!
