Option 1: Sephora. How dare you. You think this is a game? My wallet is not a fan of this. I became a Sephora member recently and this has been on the emails and in the app I downloaded. I started treating this like a game unintentionally, like I want more points, gotta get more points. I want a better status. Are there even better statuses? I thought about this for days, when I get my next pay check, what I want to buy, how many points those items are worth, it’s just like a mobile game but with real money and a lot of real money because nothing is cheap there. Well played, Sephora, well played. The points do mean something, they get you items, generally trial sized stuff to get you to buy more. However, to get points, I don’t get to play a game for free, I have to pay with my hard earned money. I may be more likely to buy things I don’t need to get more points. I feel more attached and I’m more likely to go to Sephora for my beauty needs rather than any other story because I don’t want to miss out on points. A lot of stores do this now but I only really noticed it here. With something like Walgreens, I don’t care about it as much. I need to go there for medication and such, CVS is dead to me now, why go anywhere else? Sephora… I just have feelings. I avoided it, it’s useful, and the sales associates are very, very good at their job. I should be more careful.
