Free Cosmetic from Macy's


Head to Macy's (or Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Carson Pirie Scott, Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Bergner's, Dillard's, Boston Store, Younkers, Parisian, Gottschalks and Herberger's) for a free cosmetic item while supplies last.

This offer is the result of a 2004 legal settlement in a case that accused cosmetics companies and the retailers of price fixing. Although the companies deny any wrongdoing, the settlement requires them to give away $175 million in makeup to customers who purchased a product between 1994 and 2003. A seven year span, who didn't buy makeup within that 7 year span!

No receipt? You don't keep receipts for makeup you bought 14years ago? :) Luckily for you they're operating on the honor system. Customers claiming a free product will need to sign a form stating they're eligible.

The giveaway began on the 20th and runs through Jan. 26. I went today and two (of maybe 12 items?) were already out of stock, so I would go sooner rather than later. Any remaining items (doubtful) will be donated to charity. I scored some mascara, because I'm out but there is a variety of products to choose from (you only get one).

Manufacturers involved are Estee Lauder, Clinique, Lancome, Clarins, Guerlain, Chanel, Boucheron, L'Oreal and Christian Dior.

Details and a list of available products can be found at www.cosmeticssettlement.com.

Thanks go out to MOM who found out about this deal!
