Kiss and makeup.

Breaking news! As part of a price-fixing class-action lawsuit that just got settled, Macy's is giving out free samples of makeup worth $20, starting today until supplies run out.

Here is an MSNBC article about it and here is a list of products that you might get. You apparently don't have to show a receipt, you just have to say that you purchased products from those manufacturers between 1994 and 2003, and you'll have to fill out a form. One of my coworkers just headed over to see if it works - stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE: This does indeed work! I went to the downtown Macy's, where they have a line set up in the middle of the store. You get into a line and they give you a flyer with a list of the available products, and when you reach the front of the line, you tell them which you want and they divert you to the appropriate table, where you sign your name and take your free stuff. I got a 1-oz jar of Clinique moisturizer, which is pretty exciting considering that it was FREE.
