I gotten it. Jepp. Hva skjedde? Let me tell you the tale.
On a fateful Thursday, I received an email from Hudson’s Bay VIP rewards to let me know that my points balance was 9,494 (for non-Canadians, Hudson’s Bay is like Macy’s). This means I actually have enough to redeem for a $40 gift card (2,000 pts = $10). Then I scroll down and I see an offer:
That’s like getting $10 back for spending $50 – that’s 20% off – pretty good. But only on cosmetics and fragrances – hrm. Glem det.
Fast forward a few days, I happened to be on my blog’s dashboard and observed that my top Google search result for the past few weeks has been my MAC 137 long Blending brush Lemming post. It’s not just me who is obsessed with this brush, the whole Internet is too, apparently!
And oh hey, guess how much is the MAC 137 long Blending Brush?
$50.50
I guess I wasn’t over it like I claimed I was – went to the MAC counter at Hudson’s Bay. got my 2,000 perk points.
Sukk. I’m somewhat ashamed. But kind of not. It’s only a brush. I also didn’t go nuts getting up the MAC display even though the new Huggable Lipcolours just launched, and of course the SA was prompting me if I wanted anything else besides just the brush? YES, gimme one of everything.
Quickie shots of the brand new brush – unwashed.
I’ll do a review and comparison soon – after I’ve had a chance to use it.
So now my Hudson’s Bay rewards balance is at 11,594 which indicates I can redeem for a $50 gift card:
Any guesses what I’ll be redeeming it for? Yup, a lot more makeup – likely to include a Nars Audacious lipstick. But only in the new year.
So let’s consider this a slip-up rather than a complete break of my No-Buy, ok? It boils down to: I didn’t follow my own ideas for No-Buy! I checked my promotions email – but in my defense the email was under the guise of letting me know my points balance – the offer was underneath the information. Tricky, tricky! I know my pals will be all, “see, I told you she couldn’t do it!”
