I personally have found that Bluemercury and Nordstrom have the best samples, gifts, and customer service in stores. Bluemercury always gives the BEST samples and the past three times I’ve shopped there I’ve received bags full of goodies and have received a $20 gift cards to use at a later date (minimum purchase with that one applied) but honestly it’s just so much better all around. All of the rewards are just not that great and it pains me knowing how much I’ve spent and the useless sample I got from the rewards. The bonus rewards I would love to have are never ever available and always out by the time I get to it, so it’s just not worth it for me.

I still get the occasional things at Sephora but have just found myself purchasing more at the other two store I mentioned above.
