Gift With Purchase
Ladies,
I am a make-up fanatic. I completely fall into the trap of "it will make me beautiful....." and it all comes in a bottle for $39.99.
I love new products that claim to length, bronze, stretch, firm, tone, lighten, -- I can play for hours. This might of come from one too many games of dress up.
Here is my tip: DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM DIOR TO CLINQUE WITHOUT A FREE GIFT WITH PURCHASE.
So you want new foundation from Estee Lauder but you are at Macy's and no free gift? Just ask! Either just down the mall at Nordstorm's they have an entire free gift set or if you scrape the bottle you can wait two weeks until Macy's receives their free gift! All Department Store take turns having the free gifts....equal opportunity.
Sometimes if the counter girl really wants to make a sale, she'll offer you a gift anyway! Trust me. Just ask. "I'd really like to get this now, but I think I'll wait for the next free gift." If she works on commission suddenly the free samples come out of nowhere. This can sometimes be a better deal because all free gifts have a minimum purchase (i.e. $32.50) and trust me no one item will equal that so you'll have to spend more to get the free gift.....
Oh! And if you are buying makeup at a Department Store anyway....you can always get your make up done for free. Beware though, don't let a counter sales girl paint your face. They should all have one make up artist, and that is worth sitting down for a few minutes to have someone show you a few new tricks.
You need the rest anyway ..... it's going to be a long day of shopping!
