At the counter you fill out a short form stating that you had bought something at the store during the period of 1994-2004

Re: *January 20* $25 Cosmetic Giveaway @ major deptartment stores
I am confused. What did these companies do to have this lawsuit brought upon them? Why are we getting free products?

From the article on consumerist:
The lawsuit alleged that department stores and cosmetics companies conspired to sell products at the manufacturers' suggested price only - never at a discount. It also alleged that special promotions were coordinated in a way that ensured there would be no competition among stores.
In addition to the $175 million giveaway, the department stores and cosmetics companies agreed to pay up to $24 million in attorney fees, and enter a court order that prohibits them from engaging in price-fixing schemes and certain marketing practices.

Re: Department Stores and Cosmetic Companys Cheated Us- SO we get free makeup!
A class member will be eligible to receive, while supplies last, a maximum of ONE free cosmetics product from one of the Manufacturer Defendants from which he or she purchased Department Store Cosmetics1 during the class period, May 29, 1994 through July 16, 2003, from the list of products below. If a class member has only purchased products, during the class period, from one of the Manufacturer Defendants listed below, then that class member is only entitled to receive a free product from that Manufacturer Defendant. If a class member has purchased products, during the class period, from multiple Manufacturer Defendants, then that class member must choose the ONE free product he or she wishes to claim from one of those Manufacturer Defendants. Again, these products are only available while supplies last, and no rainchecks will be issued. If your store has run out of settlement products from the Manufacturer Defendant(s) from which you have previously purchased Department Store Cosmetics during the class period, then you may claim a product (again, while supplies last) from another Manufacturer Defendant.

Re: Department Stores and Cosmetic Companys Cheated Us- SO we get free makeup!
It figures they would give away the products that sell the least (I'm guessing). Are any of those Lancome mascaras any good? I was hoping to see Hypnose or Definicils, but of course those won't be free.
Anyone tried it yet?

Re: Department Stores and Cosmetic Companys Cheated Us- SO we get free makeup!
Yeah I'm a little bit confused too. How exactly does this work? How will the employee of the specific store or whatev know whether or not I purchased products from them between the specific dates? Lol. *shrugs

Re: Department Stores and Cosmetic Companys Cheated Us- SO we get free makeup!
I'm not sure if I'm even going to attempt picking something up. I'm afraid of going there and having them look at me like I'm crazy. It seems like a lot of stores aren't aware of this at all.

Usually it means Original Gangsta... but we also call our oldest cat the OG for Original Gato. I figured I would use it for Original Giveaway.
Take your pick ... I'm a dork.
How does the site handle merging dupe threads?
