Well I heard about this offer on the news and I had to share with my fellow bargain hunters!

Starting Tuesday, January 20, 2009, plan on getting to a department store early. January 20th is the date Macy’s, Dillard’s, Saks, Nordstrom and other stores will hand out free Lancome, Clinique, and other products….to end a decade long class action case. The lawsuit claims manufacturers fixed prices from 1994 to 2003.

To settle the case, they will offer women one $20 bottle of makeup, eye cream, or similar product: All you have to do is show up at a department store Tuesday. You don’t need to show a receipt….you will just have to sign a form saying you received your free jar, so that you can’t get another.

Now for the Dell Refund Offer! (Dell Computer Settlement: Partial Refunds)

Dell computer will pay more than three million dollars to 34 states. State Attorneys General said Dell engaged in “deceptive” financing promotions, promising zero-percent financing but charging them higher rates. Consumers also claim they did not receive the promised rebates and had trouble getting warranty service. Under the settlement, Dell will pay one-point-five million dollars into a special account, which will then be distributed to customers. If you bought a Dell computer between April 2005 and April 2009, and experienced a rebate, financing, or warranty repair issue, you may be eligible for a piece of the settlement.

To apply, contact your state Attorney General’s office.

I never liked the saying “beauty is pain” it just seems needlessly cruel to remind women everywhere how hard it is to maintain society’s ideal of beauty. On the other hand I am not going to dive into a diatribe about how hard it is to be a woman, yap yap yap.

I actually enjoy shopping for cosmetics and girlish goods. One of my favorite stores is Sephora because they have a huge variety of designer brands and they let you try everything! And unlike your local department store cosmetic counter they have gals working there that help you, but you don’t feel that pressure to either buy it or move on.
