Free Makeup???
Free makeup today at Macy's and elsewhereWant free cosmetics? It's yours for the asking today at Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Carson Pirie Scott and Nordstrom.
The giveaway 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.
No receipt? No worries. They're operating on the honor system. Customers claiming a free product will need to sign a form stating they're eligible.
The giveaway runs while supplies last, through Jan. 26. Any remaining items (like there will really be any) will be donated to charity.
Manufacturers involved are Estee Lauder, Clinique, Lancome, Clarins, Guerlain, Chanel, Boucheron, L'Oreal and Christian Dior. Other retail chains that will be giving away free products are Bergdorf Goodman, Bergner's, Dillard's, Boston Store, Younkers, Parisian, Gottschalks and Herberger's.
A list of available products is posted at www.cosmeticssettlement.com.
