Are You A Smashbox Pretty Points Member?

Smashbox.com has a great loyalty program that you should really look into if you like high-end cosmetics. You can sign up to be a Pretty Points Club member for free, and as a member you get all kinds of perks. You get:

•  free shipping on every order
• exclusive final call sales (can only be purchased by pretty points members)
• extra samples with your purchase
• a special gift the month of your birthday
• weekly full sized gifts every Tuesday and Thursday
• "points" with every purchase, when you hit 500 points, you get a $10 credit

With all these perks, honestly, how can you lose? I also like to always go through my ShopAtHome account so I get an additional 4% back on all  my purchases - hey, every little bit counts.

My favorite part of the Pretty Points Club is the Tuesday and Thursday gifts. Every Tuesday and Thursday there is a different extra 'gift'  you get with any purchase made between Noon and 5pm est. They are always a specific item in a specific color (you don't get to choose), so I like to check what the gift is each week and make my final call purchases if I want the freebie. I finally came across one I would use last week, so here is what I Got:

• Lip Tech Matte Lip Color in Peony, final call $18.00 (was $24.00)
• Cream Eye Liner in Java
• Photo Finish Lid Primer Deluxe Sample
• Halo Powder Deluxe Sample
• Photo Finish Foundation Primer Sample

So, with the free shipping, I just paid tax for this making my total $19.08 for everything listed. Definitely not bad :) There were other items that would have been cheaper (they start at about $13.50), but I've wanted to try the Lip Tech for a while so I splurged a bit. Also, I got 4% cash back through ShopAtHome. Oh, and my order gave me 90 points toward my $10 credit :)

So, I will try to post what the freebies are each Tuesday and Thursday so you can take advantage of this great program yourself. In the meantime, sign up for the Pretty Point Club so you are ready for the freebie you want :)
