Visit a Shoppers Drug Mart location on May 2nd to take part in their annual Spring Beauty Gala event  in support of Look Good Feel Better and The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Tickets cost $10 but include a $5 donation to support LGFB and CBCF depending on province.  Your ticket includes access to complementary makeovers by a Shoppers Beauty Advisor, skin consultations, a free goody bag (samples vary a lot by store and year) and refreshments.

My local store is offering complementary make-overs, gel nail polish applications, skin care consultations, refreshments, goody bags and gifts with purchase plus prize draws every hour with multiple chances to win, and additional draws for larger gift baskets at the end of the day.  Makeovers and “extras” like the nail polish application vary by store, maybe check a few to find the one that suits you.  I like Shoppers Drug Mart makeovers because they do not pressure you to buy every product, just give you a list of the items they used so you can buy whenever.

Since this is a national event, their Optimum offer for the day is likely beauty themed.  Some stores do have very limited space and all have limited goodie bags so RSVP with your local store now!  You may need to make an appointment for makeovers/nail polish.  Last year I bought my ticket about a week before and they gave me extra samples when I booked including a few full size products!

To promote the event, Look Good Feel Better is hosting a twitter party on April 29th.  Join them to chat with hashtag #SDMBeautyGala for a chance to win one of five $100 Shoppers Drug Mart gift cards.  The twitter party runs from 9-10 p.m. Eastern.  Get more details here.
