Under the terms of a class action settlement, eligible shoppers can receive free cosmetics valued from $18 to $25. Several department stores will be giving away $175 million worth of cosmetics to shoppers who purchased cosmetics (makeup, fragrance, moisturizers) at their stores from May 29, 1994 to July 16, 2003. Giveaways are on a first-come, first served basis and are subject to the cap of $175 million.  Shoppers won’t need receipts but they will be asked to sign a form stating that they purchased cosmetics within the specified dates.

Department stores that are giving away free cosmetics include Bloomingdale’s, Filene’s Basement, Lord & Taylor, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue. The free cosmetics must be manufactured by the manufacturers named in the lawsuit including Chanel No. 5, CK One, CK Be, Clinique, M.A.C., and Prescriptives.
