Sephora's Introducing Credit Cards—and They'll Come With Perks

It’s finally happening: Sephora is launching credit cards for shoppers. Best of all? We don’t have that long to wait—the cards will be out this spring. Depending on your level of Sephora addiction, this could either be terrible or brilliant news, but we’re firmly on the latter side, especially now that we know all the perks the company’s building into these magical pieces of plastic.

Allure reports there’s not going to be one company credit card, but three: the Sephora Credit Card, Sephora Visa Credit Card, and Sephora Visa Signature Credit Card. They’re all seen as an extension of the company’s loyalty program and, according to a company statement, will be “taking our client experience to the next level through special access, rewards and perks.”

“The Sephora Credit Card was the natural next step in our loyalty journey, truly adding even more value that our clients can use not only within our stores, but also in their day-to-day lives,” Andrea Zaretsky, Sephora’s senior vice president of customer relations management and loyalty, said in the statement.

According to Allure, customers with the card will get bonus perks—what, specifically, these are is still TBD—in addition to those they get from already being in the Beauty Insider program.

As mentioned, the credit cards will make their debut in the spring, but some might have to wait a little longer than others to get one: They’ll be available in “select markets” first, Allure reports, and then expanding throughout the U.S. and online over time.

The company’s been on a roll lately: This announcement comes on the heels of Sephora reworking their Beauty Insider program to dish out more rewards to customers and allowing customers to use multiple discount codes when they check out online. More perks, more discounts, and now credit cards so we don’t have to wait until payday for that pedicure polish anymore? Into it.

Shonda Rhimes and Ellen Pompeo Have a Pact About When They'll End 'Grey's Anatomy'

Grey’s Anatomy has been on the air for approximately 9 bazillion years. OK, that’s an exaggeration: It’s actually only been on for 12, but it feels like way more. And for good reason: The show has ripped through dozens of doctors, hundreds of over-the-top storylines, and thousands of steamy kissing scenes. One of the M.D.s was literally nicknamed “McSteamy,” people. What were you expecting?

Grey’s Anatomy‘s constantly-moving parts make it pretty confusing to follow, but there’s one constant that keeps fans comforted: Dr. Meredith Grey, the narrator of the series, played by Ellen Pompeo. She’s the thread that weaves each bonkers season of Grey’s Anatomy together. Without her, there’d be little narrative direction: Each episode would just be 42 minutes of random doctors sometimes doing their jobs but mostly boning. Meredith is an indispensable component.

And Rhimes will continue making Grey’s Anatomy so long as Pompeo wants to do it. That’s the only thing needed to keep the show going, according to her. When Pompeo wants to exit, that’s when Rhimes says she’ll end Grey’s Anatomy.

“Ellen and I have a pact that I’m going to do the show as long as she’s going to do the show,” Rhimes told E! News. “So the show will exist as long as both of us want to do it. If she wants to stop, we’re stopping. So I don’t know if we’ll see 600 [episodes], but I want to keep it feeling fresh. As long as there are fresh stories to tell and as long as we’re both excited about the stories being told, we’re in. So, we’ll see where that takes us.”

This makes sense, to be honest—and it’s sort of a given. I mean, Meredith Grey’s name is in the title of the show. It’d be ludicrous to produce it without her. The show would just be called….Anatomy…and that sounds ick.
